Had the Sheps loaded chips, superb presentation, portion size was fantastic . Best to eat with fingers, was absolutely finger licking good! Every mouthful was a delight 😊 The feta cheese was creamy and paired fantastically with the lamb doner . Highly recommend

Having boasted the best kebabs in Reading we thought we would give it a try. We had a chicken and lamb donner kebab which was full of flavour and very juicy. It came with lovely bread and coated chips. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Was just driving by and saw this place and came in for a drink. We were pleasantly surprised by the Turkish food and the interior of the pub itself. Also staff were really kind. Will definitely come again when in Woodley area.

After 2 times getting takeaway food. 1 time visiting for a couple of drinks. I definitely need to come and sit in for both food & drinks. This place is simply unbeatable. The meat is all amazing quality nothing processed. Real authentic Turkish kebabs. With all the trimmings, pickled chillis, cabbage, fresh salad. Not to mention the amazing homemade sauces. The prices are pretty much unheard of around here such great value. When I came for a couple of pints, the owner and staff were just brilliant too so welcoming. If you don’t visit, you’re really missing out.
