Parking was a bit of an issue. Service was great, friendly and consistent from all waiting staff. The food was delicious, we had the hot meze, mixed shish, prawn salad and chicken arabiatta. I ordered the lemon cheesecake, it arrived covered in an overly sweet and possibly strawberry goo. It wasn't at all lemony but it was a rather nice cheesecake and I would order again but request the absence of the goo. We will definitely return.

Lovely catch up with a friend. Great tapas apart from the falafel which was a usual texture. Only feedback would be that they are a little too quick to take your order as we hadn’t had a chance to look at the menu which was within 5/10 minutes of arriving. They were happy to come back but still feel a bit rushed. Understand though as had several large tables to service on what was their busiest night. Overall very good.

We went early before the Xmas parties were in full swing. They had a singer providing entertainment which was good. The food was lovely. Only criticism is that the air con was on and it was quite cold in there.

Having heard nothing but good things about Dem booked a table after other plans got cancelled. The service staff were friendly and attentive, they did forget my glass of water but this was quickly rectified. We did not feel pressured to order immediately and the food arrived in good time. Portions are large, the salmon had 2 fillets. The Iskender kebab evoked memories of my time in Turkey. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. The rice was not as I expected. Turkish rice is usually cooked with orzo and fragrant with butter. This was just perfectly cooked rice. The pistachio cake was delicious and I would recommend it. We didn't try the baclava but I will next time. It can be noisy and the music went right up when a belly dancer appeared. Personally I feel that the restaurant doesn't need the belly dancers but she was not offensive or intrusive, just not our thing (we were a table of all females). Overall the food, the service and the atmosphere were all great. We all agreed we would definitely go back.
