Ordered the Istanbul special no 3, which is basically a mixed grill on top of a margarita pizza, with stir fried vegetables and a cheese burger and fries. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. Very good service and very good value for money. Definitely reccomended.
