Medusa

Walk into Medusa and you're greeted with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you've been coming here for years. The kitchen takes its Turkish food seriously: proper chargrilled meats, creamy hummus that actually tastes of something, and pastries that shatter the way they should. You'll find families tucked into corners, groups of mates sharing platters, couples leaning across tables—it's that rare place that works for everyone. Cheapside location means it's dead convenient whether you're heading to the castle or coming back from a night on Church Street. The value is genuine too; you're not paying inflated city prices for straightforward, honest cooking.
