Delicious, and affordable! BYOB!!! Family-run local business. Nice and cosy. Been twice now when visiting the city.

Staff are friendly and welcoming but most important, food is 10/10! Baklava went down too quick so forgot to photograph.

Get the meze platter!

Very impressed with the food. Everything was done by the owner from start to finish. Would definitely recommend this place.

It is also dog friendly which is always a huge bonus! He gave our dog a bowl of water too :)

Found this on google looking for a Turkish/Mediterranean BYOB in city centre. Food and service was 10/10. Corkage was £4.50 for wine and £2 for beer. Would 💯 visit again. We had the mixed grill main course and was so tasty. Thank you for a great birthday meal.

I've had takeaway from here a number of times and always loved it but ate in the restaurant for the first time recently and it was even better! The food is beautiful and the portions are huge, the service was so friendly and the restaurant is pretty. I had the lamb casserole which is one of my favourite Turkish dishes and it was absolutely perfect.

Situated very close to elm row, Pera is finally visited.
Decorated with the combination of white and blue colours, Pera give you the Turkish food sensation.
What I tried is the halloumi sucuk (fried halloumi with beef sausage). It is a alright starter.
What I particular like is their kuzu kanurga or lamb ribs. I am cautious with the smell of lamb but this ribs is as they claimed is very tender and succulent. I couldn’t recognize the lamb smell at all which is very impressive for me.
Dipping with yogurt or the salad which is quite similar with Thai spicy salad also adds complex flavors.

The staff is very polite and informative.
The dishes, plates or cup they use also quite creatively unique.

They now accept cash or bank transfer so keep you phone battery alive.

It’s a good Mexican restaurant with nice touch in decorations

It was our very first time dinning here and we'll definitely come back! The restaurant is very small and that make it very special, also de decoration is beautiful. The service is amazing, our waitress was fantastic, very charismatic and charming! The food is delicious, we tried the sharing plate for two which is only for £39. The meet, ribs and chicken cooked perfectly, the salad is very tasty and rice delicious! You can bring your own alcohol (they charge a little bit, depending if it's beers or a bottle of wine). I recommend it 100% if you like meat and also if you don't, because they have vegetarian options. Don't forget to bring some cash for tip out, because is not possible to leave it by card and the service definitely deserve it!
