"We are very excited to open tomorrow from 5pm."
Explaining why they named the restaurant after their head chef, Faruk who is originally from Turkey added: "When I first came to the UK I was working in a restaurant with our head chef Elliot and we have been friends since then.
"He is the most amazing chef I have ever met so I decided to dedicate the name to him."
Extending his gratitude, head chef Elliot who has worked in Mitchelin star restaurants said: "I have known Faruk for around seven years now and he has given me the opportunity to come and work at the restaurant.
"It's a real honour to have my name over the door."
