Reviews
I wish I could give you 6 stars! I was there twice and I wish to have this place locally in Oldham where I live. Freshly prepared food, and these flavours! Absolutely amazing First time I tried the Palestinian coke and it was really good. That was a surprise! I hope to be there soon with my friends again.
Wow what can I say about this place. The food is amazing, so tasty and well cooked. Considering it was absolutely rammed when we went in the service was excellent. Wish I'd taken some pictures of the food but the chicken stroganoff and blackened chicken was so delicious. Will come here again and can't recommend this place enough for good food.
Mixed grill was fresh and tasty. They only accept cash. Staff are friendly. Sitting areas are a little cramped.
my friend used to frequent here many years ago and decided to bring me today. i’m so glad he did! it was delicious. we started with the houmous and baba ganoush which were lovely ! my friend got his regular degular steak burger (which was as good as he remembers) and i got the jaffa mix grill. usually kofte is my least fave part of a mixed grill for me but jaffa’s was really delicious and flavourful ! the chicken and lamb pieces were succulent and the lamb chop was incredible ! would definitely recommend dousing everything in the special sauce !!! the star of the show really was the WEDGES . get them if it’s the last thing you do
Decent kebabs here are served quite legendary and have eaten here a number of years. Just seating is difficult to find plus it gets quite busy so not the best place to meet friends
