Great Turkish food with very good service. The decoration and lighting makes a very good atmosphere to have a nice dinner with loved ones. The selection of drinks available is also a huge plus! And I highly recommend the lahmacun as it tastes as good as any I've had in Turkish households.

Nice cosy place, good food, very friendly staff. A little outside area with 4 tables and few tables inside. Generous portions, beware when you order. When ordered menemen and salad meze, couldn't finish either.. but when got just kofte next time, it was enough.

Great Turkish cafe with loevly tea coffe and good food selection. I stopped here for a brief bit to eat while walking through Hastings old town. The food was great real Turkish meze with loads of choices for vegetarian or different people. The halloumi was so good also I recommend the cacik dip and cofte. Reasonable price and good service

This is a lovely hidden gem with eclectic decor - mix of local seaside town artefacts and middle eastern vibe - allowing you to admire while sipping on Turkish wine. Great wine and food, and we were given a delicious complimentary burek treat with having our drinks. Warm and attentive service. All tucked in a gorgeous little street just off of Hasting’s sea front.

Came in with friends almost by accident. I'm so glad we stumbled across this awesome restaurant, the atmosphere is great, staff were lovely and the food was even better. We also tried the Turkish red wine, v good.
