Besides the fact that the food was amazing! The staff are also very friendly and attentive. The place was packed to capacity, so of course I was expecting to finish my drink before the food came, boy was I wrong. The food followed within minutes of the drink arriving. The presentation of the dishes is a show on its own. So much value for money considering the portions sizes. And I highly recommend getting their delicious Elma Cay (Apple Tea). The night was cold and wet, but Saray was prepared with heaters and blankets which in my book is very considerate of them. My friends and I have made it our mission to try everything on the menu so it's safe to say we'll be dining here quite often.

What an absolute amazing experience ????This place definitely exceeded my expectations, not only was the service out of this world from our lovely waiter Precious but also all the staff and the management team was so nice. I was literally blown away by the service we received????????The food and drinks was so delicious ????. Highly recommend anyone to give them a visit and try their Turkish cuisine ????????

What a great experience. If ever you want to experience true Turkish hospitality and cuisine...this is it...fresh food in just under 15min, the best hookah I've come across try the double apple, clean ablution facilities and Muslim prayer facilities. The food portions are quite large so id suggest you come with a good appetite. All the while the restaurant manager, Murat, was checking in on us to see if we're enjoying our dinner. Definitely a must visit

I went over the weekend to Saray. It is a fully halaal restaurant with and outdoor and indooor. The outdoors I covered and has heaters and blankets in winter. It has a smoking and non smoking section. I would also highly recommend that you make a reservation for good seating.

The menu has quite a few options. The platter are very worthwhile but I unfortunately could not try them as they kebabs were mixed lamb and beef. I don’t eat beef for religious reasons. When asked to swop it out even for something cheaper they refused and said no exchanges could be made, which was a bit disappointing.

In the end I ordered the cheese pida, which was a generous size and delicious. We also ordered the chicken and mushroom pida which was as equally delicious.

For mains we ordered the lamb chops which came with chips, rice and a roti type of bread. The lamb could have done with more basting and trimming so there was less fat but enjoyable. We also ordered the chicken thighs, this was really value for money as it come with a salad, bread, rice and chips. Basically it was almost a whole chicken and was so nice and moist.

The passion fruit mocktail was delicious. We also ordered the apple tea which I also enjoyed.

For dessert I was so eager to taste the Kunefe, it was one of the things I wasn’t able to taste when I was in Turkey so I was really excited. To my dismay I didn’t now enjoy it at all. I know it’s a cheese dessert but I thought dessert cheese would be used and it would not taste so savoury. I had to use the ice cream to mask the flavour. I’m guessing it’s an acquired taste. Plus the waitress said it was like baked cheesecake. It was absolutely not. If I had know I would have ordered something else.

Authentic halal turkish food and atmosphere. Fantastic location and great service. Phone in for a reservation especially if you want to sit outside. Nice play area for kids. Will definetely visit again.

We made a 8:30 pm reservation, we were greeted by smart looking staff, seated in a beautiful restaurant with hanging Turkish lamps all around, a gas fireplace to keep us warm, served by the loveliest waitress and served the most delicious food. I would recommend getting a Meze plate for the table while waiting for your food, and a Turkish coffee ????impeccable evening!

Coupled with the food is the epic location, views and an added bonus of a very cool kids open play area in front of the dining area (easy eye keeping). Authentic Cuisine. Restaurant subscribes to Halaal food requirements.
The difficulty is an open booking (even 2 to 3 days notice is sometimes unmanageable for the restaurant) Plan much ahead of time. Service is acceptable. For the location and ambience alone the place is worth it.
