Absolutely fabulous food. We stopped here for a meal before heading to the cricket at Old Trafford. Both had a Vegetarian Halloumi Fajita. Totally delicious food, extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. Can't speak highly enough about this cafe which is adjacent to Trafford Bar station on the Metrolink. Very reasonable prices, friendly people, and incredible food... 10/10 all day long.

A nice cozy place near Old Trafford Tram Station. Had Mediterranean Breakfast ( without Sausage as I don't eat meat) they were happy to swap the Sausage with hash browns. The bfast was nice and loved it. The coffee here is rightly priced. Will be a regular here.

Amazing breakfast. Order the souvlaki chicken or kofte kebap in pita. Burger is also good. They have an extensive menu with all day breakfast and freshly baked Turkish goods. They make the food fresh every time. Amazing chef.

I go to this café sometimes for bacon and black pudding on toast. And its really good food. Its properly cooked. I ask the lady to cook my bacon so its crispy round the edges, and she does it just right Everytime for me. I would recommend this place.

Partner and I both ordered the Turkish breakfast with a cappuccino this morning, needed to soak up the booze after last night’s Oasis gig. Wow, did we pick the right place! The food here is absolutely out of this world. Such a great combination of flavour on the plate. They were extremely accommodating with her being a vegetarian and switched the sausage for extra halloumi. Just about to back down to Nottingham wishing this place was on the doorstep.

The food was delicious and felt very healthy. A good range of different items were available and they were extremely friendly. Some excellent Turkish dishes on offer as well as your normal items from a cafe at a great price!
