Il manager, Robin, è stato fantastico: gentilissimo e competente, ci ha guidati nelle scelte di vino e piatti per tutto il pasto.Abbiamo iniziato con sigara böreği e una köfte di agnello alla griglia — entrambi molto saporiti. Come portate principali abbiamo preso fish & chips e un incredibile beyti kebab, entrambi freschi e gustosi.
