EGO AT THE KNOWLES ARMS REVIEWS

A great spot we found near Stanley house hotel. The food was great and vegan friendly. A clam and welcoming atmosphere. And a sense of warmth with wood being the accent material used against warm ambient lighting.

Great meal. Went with a friend. Staff were super helpful. Goat's cheese starter was delicious, and the pizza was cooked beautifully. Prices were decent and none of It felt overpriced.

The starters of garlic mushrooms were delicious and the mains of the meat trio and the beef were very generous portions.

ELAF-MIDDLE EAST & TURKISH CUISINE REVIEWS

Been here a few times to eat now, the food is amazing everything so full of flavour and taste. The seating area is good, may feel cramped at busy times but the service is still on point and the food is always above standards. Very good decent size portions and the prices are decent also. Mix kebabs are my favourite and the drinks, good selection available and worth the money. Family platter is also very good to have here, nicely presented and plenty of flavour. Definitely recommend eating in here, they do deliveries but best to go in and eat fresh off the grill. Excellent place amazing food, friendly staff.

Had a wonderful time at Elaf. The place was super clean with well kept toilets. Staff was polite. Serving size was generous. Food was freshly prepared. Evth was great except kunafeh. It seemed undercooked and not-freshly made. All meals were priced appropriately.

Went in for the 1st time to try qabuli pulao. I was very impressed with the service & taste. The meat was soft and juicy and so were the rice. Portion size was good too. Check um out.

ISTANBUL RESTAURANT REVIEWS

This is the second time I've come to this restaurant. I ordered the king prawn with rice this time and honestly I love it!! The food is amazing and the service is amazing. The staff are incredible. Highly recommended and I will be going again hopefully with my family next time.

Fantastic Food, almost as good as the manchester branch, very beautiful decor inside, staff very friendly, drink glasses was very very clean, almost spotless, i couldn't be happier when i saw that as i hate dirty glasses, bar lady cleans very well i apprieciate you boss man or boss lady, food came out very fast especially for the big order we had. Prices are decent, dessert was lovely. Only thing i would say to improve on is cleaning the menus almost all of them were sticky or had dirt on them. I will be back again, sorry for not leaving much tip, times a little tough at the moment, i will pay my dues in the future when times are better inshallah, keep up the good work.

My first time. Great food and Good quality. Turkish bread and Olives were complimentary. The Salad was plentiful and fresh. This is not a curry outfit, so you can really appreciate the difference in taste, especially in the quality of the meat. Worth every penny. Next to the Cinema and near King George's Hall.
