Over the past few weeks, window transfers in the brand’s signature blue hue have been put up and its logo has appeared on the front doors of the site
An opening date has not yet been confirmed for the restaurant, although it is understood to be opening December 15.

The restaurant serves a range of charcoal-grilled kebabs; seafood dishes; Turkish pide; and vegetarian options such as chargrilled aubergines with red peppers, mushrooms, onion, tomato sauce and yogurt.
