This small Turkish restaurant a few minutes' walk from The Pleasance is ideal for tucking into some pre or post-show food during the Festival. The atmosphere is friendly and lively, whilst the food - in the form of platters of mezze followed by Turkish coffee and baklava - is fantastic and very reasonably priced (its also BYOB which helps to keep the cost down). There is often live music later on in the evening and, if you're really lucky, the owner will entertain you with his own guitar-playing skills (albeit he's only learned a couple of chords so far!)
