Ate here with family and it was great
Initially on walking into the restaurant there seemed to be a slight lack of atmosphere, despite being a Friday night. However the food and service completely made up for that. The kitchen has a charcoal grill which completely elevates something as simple as a chicken burger, which is what I had. Big, but not too big, plates of food and menu is competitively priced. Can't speak on the Hotel but the restaurant is well work a visit even for a beer and some chips.

Had the Turkish brekky and it was really nice. Everything cooked in the kitchen and nothing sourced from third parties. Lovely staff and the ambience of the place makes you forget they your in Leyton lol.
