Hala restaurant reopened after expansion and a complete refit

This particular admirer of Hala, the family run Turkish restaurant, was delighted to find it had reopened after a brief interval while it expanded into the space next door. The interior has been completely refurbished, furniture, decor, floors, lights, cooking ranges, private rooms, toilets, the lot. I have always enjoyed excellent food and service there but, along with the facelift, the staff now behave as though they all spent the interval on an intensive team building course on how to treat customers. The quality of the food is unchanged and I think I noticed an addition or two to the menu, eg hamburgers, for those who want a change from Turkish tradition.

The new decor has a restrained dash of bling, except in the toilets where the bling is somewhat less restrained. You'll know what I mean when you sit on it.
