Ada Turkish Restauarant in Moray

Lovely small restaurant, friendly service and great food. We arrived early and nothing was too much trouble. Staff were polite friendly and on hand when needed. Would highly recommend

Jimmy the waiter is great Food is good atmosphere is good. Best dinner place in Elgin 🥳

Clean, good Turkish restaurant. Four of us dined there. The food was very good and tasty and was prepared quickly. Very friendly, courteous service. Clear recommendation.

Had a wonderful food here when my son was over on holiday. Really enjoyed.

Lovely food and friendly discreet service. Prices have increased since my last visit but not outwith the local norm. It was quiet at lunch but we were able to sit and chat which was lovely. Highly recommended

Really good food, prices and atmosphere. You can tell it is very traditional as a Turkish restaurant with the very unique flavours

We were visiting the area and needed somewhere to eat. Found this restaurant online. We booked, thank goodness, as it was very popular. I had chicken skewers. These were outstanding. Will be recommending you to friends in the area. The service was welcoming and helpful. It was a great place to visit, and we were glad that we did.

Food was amazing, would definitely order again, w

We really loved the food at Ada, delicious flavourful food. We opted for the Vegetarian sharing Mezze for starter- the courgette and cheese fritters and felafal as part of this were our favourites. We then had the Ada Special and the vegetarian Mussaka which came with rice and salad. Just right portion sizes. Turkish coffee with little bit of Turkish delight on the side finished the meal off perfectly. The staff were so busy. Will definitely visit again if we are working in the area another time. Thank you

Great place. Great food. Great staff.

Food was fantastic. Good price, good ambience and service was very attentive. Deserves 5 stars 🌟

Ordered a gluten free meal and came with bread on top. Phoned the restaurant and they corrected and sent back another meal. Unfortunately it meant our rare treat of a nice take away together ended up being eaten separately. Disappointing as food was lovely.

I've ordered from here many times in past & have always been happy, tonight was no exception

Been in restaurant a few times always good but this order was very poor 3 bits of chicken some rice bit of bread not good value for the money

This is not a restaurant, but a canteen. Reheated dishes, amateur service, and noise, so much noise (loud and uneducated guests) that we hardly noticed the music, nothing really pleasant, and more so, terribly expensive for what we ate and drank. Never again!

A nice quiet Turkish halal restaurant in the high lands the food was good and the portion very good the Turkish coffee and rice pudding was very well made

food was delicious and delivered at the advised time

Amazing as usual. Usually eat in, but got take out and it was perfect. Hot and delicious.

Really good and staff were fantastic

Will definitely order again. the meals were delicious, hot and arrived before the estimated time which was perfect!

Excellent , Ada is consistently good . Anytime I'm in Elgin I go to Ada , Kofta combination was excellent tonight. So good I'm going back tomorrow night 😀

Just chicken n rice could of made that mysel

Simply delightful for high quality staff to delightful staff!!

Myself and my wife Susan paid our second visit to this cracking wee restaurant tonight and the food was amazing just like the first visit and looking forward to our 3rd visit very soon

Really tasty, authentic food with very friendly service.

Don’t care if Brewers Fayre has closed down food is 10 times better here two days two different meals both were excellent. Fresh and tasty none of that pre made food chain rubbish will be back 100%

The food was excellent at every step, the services was attentionate even if we came in a bit late and the decor was thoughtfully arranged. There is no cons Would eat there 3 times a week if I lived nearby

This is one of our favourite places to go for a meal. The food is absolutely delicious and of all the times we have been here over the years, we have never had a single complaint. The waiting staff are very attentive, friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and authentic, has a good atmosphere also. Highly recommend for an authentic Turkish meal.

Friday evening, first time visiting a restaurant in Elgin since moving and very pleased. Food was delicious, fresh and plenty. We had mixed starter for 2 and the mixed grill for 2. Could not finish and took a doggy bag home. Slightly higher priced than we thought it would be, however thoroughly enjoyed. Service was exceptional from all staff and friendly. Atmosphere was good, decor good and what you’d expect - not stand out but very pleasant. Will visit again for sure and would recommend.

good service 🤌🏻, excellent food 🤤, The appetizers were very delicious and it was a really nice evening 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Food was amazing, and Cenil was especially helpful with the food and drinks. Beautfiul experience in our short stay in Elgin!

Filled the restaurant with a post conference dinner for 15. Service coped well and other diners didn't seem neglected. We will go back a third time next conference. Good job.

We had a wonderful lunch at Ada Turkish Restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was great. We will definitely come again

A restaurant we visited with my friends during our highland tour. We liked the food very much, the staff was very friendly and helpful, even the Turkish waiter was very funny and interested, he told us with experience that the photographs of Turkey on the walls were taken from very special places. It was a brilliant evening.

DELICIOUS. My husband and I are on our honeymoon so we have treated ourselves to some pretty swish places around Europe, including a couple of Michelin star restaurants. Our meals from Ada were unexpected highlights of our trip. Obviously the dishes are more rustic than a fancy restaurant... But the flavour was elite. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Had lunch here during a road trip in Scotland. The food was good and generous. Service was efficient. The restaurant is comfortable too. The only thing that could be improved is the volume of the music that is a bit too high in my opinion. And maybe more vegetarian options too?

I had heard very good reviews about Ada and had been excited to try it. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed and the experience definitely did not meet my expectations based on the reviews. The cacik was a very small portion for the £5.50 price with far too much oil on top. It was not the authentic cacik I hoped for. The mixed grill was a further disappointment arriving lukewarm at best. The portion was small and the quality was poor overall for £16.50. The lamb was dry. Chicken was better.

Have been wanting to try this place as my husband has always raved about it on his biannual visits to the area. Food was outstanding and did not disappoint. Service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back if in the area.

The customer service is really good, and the food full of flavour as expected from Turkish cuisine. More than half the menu is gluten free, although weirdly their rice contains wheat and they don't offer some plain rice as an alternative. If only they had the Effes Glutensiz beer too. Second visit and I will probably return next time I'm working in Elgin.

Firstly let me say it’s a lovely restaurant, the staff are friendly and welcoming , there’s a good variety on the menus and the food was prepared / served in good time. Food was great. One issue , the drinks are absolutely extortionate! We have a pint of normal coke , a pint of Diet Coke and and pint of blackcurrant and soda , they charged us £6 for each ! When I checked with the staff they advised this was correct. To say I was gobsmacked at £18 for 3 soft drinks is an understatement. For this reason we won’t be going back .

First time going for a Turkish meal and I really enjoyed it. Huge menu with something for everyone, very friendly staff, great food, amazing decoration, baby friendly and affordable too will be back.

Lovely place. Attentive staff, good food, nice loo with spare nappies in the baby change... wee touches like this make a big difference when you're tired and hungry. Will be back to try more of the menu.

Lukewarm food, item missing and mixed grill very small portion. Menu doesn't specify some items come with chips. Delivery driver was polite and apologetic.

Fantastic food, genuine and friendly service, reasonably priced. Will return to taste more dishes.

Consistently good in every way.

My family always asks to come here when they visit. Always excellent food and the best service. Love the Adana Kofte and could swim in that chilli sauce. Also recommend the mucver and sucuk starters.

I eat in Ada normally but this time I was rushed and decided to order online instead, I wasn’t disappointed the food was as good as eating in the restaraunt. Chicken shish was delish I fully recommend this .

Absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it

Absolutely delicious meal again , I have been here a few times now . Each time I have been to Ada the food and service have been excellent. Looking forward to my next visit very soon.

We had a fantastic experience in the restaurant the service was excellent from the young lady and the food was the best we have had on our trip around Scotland well done 👍

Warm & friendly atmosphere, booked a table at short notice & was welcomed at the door by the lovely waitress who is friendly and warm also very helpful. The many has some great traditional meals. Highly recommend the mixed mezzae. The service is brilliant and if you have any queries about the food they will happily help. Great Turkish cuisine!

Exquisite food, courteous service and nice ambience. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food. Everything we had was excellent. Starting with a delicious mix of appetizers for two, then to the main entrees. It was a very busy night, yet the staff was friendly and attentive. Tried my first Turkish beer and liked it.

My colleague and I popped in to ADA Turkish Café & Restaurant for an evening meal. The restaurant is a short walk from the local municipal car park which was free of charge (after 6pm) Staff were friendly and service was excellent. The food was very good indeed and I would not hesitate recommending this restaurant to others looking for a bite to eat in Elgin. I look forward to returning when I’m next working in the area.

Made a special trip here whilst on holiday as the reviews were so good, only to be told they were closing for the day. Well, update your opening times then please.

Amazing. Arrived piping hot, food was incredible. Even the salad is lovely 🤣

Food is amazing, really yummy 🤤

Authentic and enjoyable Turkish Cuisine. Helpful staff encouraged their favourites and were quite clearly right! Lovely food and would encourage a visit

Lovely meal. Will be back! Need to book

This is a very tasteful, small, local restaurant with a good selection of delicious, Turkish cuisine. The staff are very friendly and highly accommodating. The decor is basic bit authentic. The only criticism would be on the value for money aspect. I was a little disappointed with the portion sizes given the price of the dishes. Other than that, if money isn’t an issue, then give this restaurant a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Very good food,with a wide variety of dishes. Reasonably priced & good service. Also, there is a good choice of drinks on menu.Well worth a visit.

My order was wrong. I asked for rice with my meal and I got chips.

Ok restaurant, for great Turkish food better visit any of the 3 restaurants in Aberdeen. The bread was good but it wasn’t the traditional pitta. The hummus came with a single slice of bread, not possible to eat it all with so little bread. The waiting staff was friendly but very busy, so we had to keep asking for service

This was recommended by the host of our Guest House and I'm so pleased it was! There were only two of us and we were lucky because we managed to get a seat on a Friday evening without a reservation and without waiting. Others a little later had to be turned away, so prebooking would be advised. The service is friendly and cheerful, and the atmosphere is lovely - a little bit of Turkey in Morayshire. The food is excellent and I would say that you can't possibly visit the restaurant without trying the olives, which are delicious! Highly recommended.

In Elgin for some Saturday shopping and walked along South Street to see if Ada was open. It’s a favourite restaurant of ours but has been closed on the last couple of lunchtimes we have looked to visit. It was open (Saturday 26th) and had 4 or 5 tables of diners already. The waitress, although young, was bright, cheery and talkative and the food as ever was perfect and at such a reasonable price. Never disappointed in Ada - it really is such a gem to have in Elgin as part of our wide choice of dining options in the area.

We had never been to a Turkish restaurant before but what a wonderful experience the food was delicious. The girls serving were amazing. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I ordered a bottle of Efes Draft to go with my main course, the Ada Mixed Grill. The beer appeared promptly and the food was not far behind. Whilst the accompanying salad was perfunctory and the rice only adequate the various meat dishes were excellent. Portions were just right and left me feeling I could eat some more, but probably shouldn't. I finished my evening with a shot of Raki (taken with water). If you've never drank Raki before, watch out! Definitely worth another visit.

Loved this place - very friendly and genuine service, really good food. Had a great meal and already looking forward to going back. Only constructive suggestion might be to clarify the vegan options (and/or the ones that can be done vegan) on the menu.

Buena comida pero muy especiada y picante.

Beautiful food and lovely staff

Absolutely delicious food and drink. Somewhere different to go I was not disappointed. Every time I come I am blown away. Staff are pleasant and attentive and give great service 10/10

I hadn't been for a while but went as it was very good on a previous visit. The food was excellent, really enjoyed it . The drink prices are a bit steep but I would recommend a visit to Ada

Personnel très sympa plats très copieux et délicieux, plein d’options pour les végétariens. Une bonne adresse

8 of us booked and just as well as the place was very busy. It seats about 45 and was full and the staff had to turn away about 20 people in total who were "walk ins." What amazed us was that there was only one member of waiting staff and one chef and they just got on with their jobs without fuss. The waitress was first class and didn't seem fazed by having to deal with all she had to deal with. Yes, there was a bit of a delay but she explained there would be and anyway we were not in a hurry. I'm not a great fan of Turkish food but went with the flow and really enjoyed it. Will definitely return.

Buena comida, pero especiada y fuerte.

We booked a meal here while having a 2 night stay in Elgin. What a gem of a restaurant - delicious food, pleasant surroundings and first class service. It took us a while to appreciate that the waiter, Cevdet, was on his own serving a nearly full restaurant. In common with many hospitality venues they were short staffed. Cevdet managed to deal with everyone politely and competently remaining calm throughout and had a routine that left no table waiting long for service. What a star - I hope his employers recognise this. We hope to return to this delightful Scottish town soon and will definitely return to Ada.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Ada is hands down the best restaurant in Elgin. It’s not that the rest are bad restaurants you understand, but simply that Ada is brilliant in every way. Outstanding, authentic food. Charming front of house. What more do you want? Babaganoush for the win!

I can never fault you on quality of food but extremely disappointed that every time I order the chicken kofta special it’s missing the tomato sauce and yogurt. Also on this occasion I ordered rice as an extra yet it was included with my dish. If I hadn’t ordered 2 sauces extra for my partners meal I’d have had a really dry dish. When you are playing £40 for a takeaway you expect to get what’s stated in the menu when selecting a dish.

We selected this place for lunch because we were arriving at 14.00 and many places seemed to be closing then, but Ada is open until 15.00. The restaurant and toilets were both very clean and well stocked. The menu has a good selection of dishes. I had the mucver (courgette fritters) and saksuka (vegetable dish with tomatoes, served cold). Both were delicious and filling. All the sides (sauce, salad) were tasty too. My friends ordered wraps, which they enjoyed. Chloe, the waitress was very friendly and recommended the mucver as one of her favourites. Her service was excellent and she took time to chat to us when she wasn’t too busy. We also had coffee, hot chocolate and very nice baklava to finish. We were delighted to find such a nice spot for lunch- would recommend!

Brilliant meal and absolutely five star service from Chloe! This is a big claim, but I think the hummus might genuinely be the best I’ve ever tasted..!? Anyway would highly, highly recommend!

Really good food from a varied menu. It was a busy midweek evening and the staff were a bit overwhelmed, but the meal was worth the wait

Ada went out their way to ensure my order got to me. First time ordering from here and I was not disappointed. Great service, great food. Will definitely be back

Order was incorrect, also feel that you are massively overcharged for what you get. Mixed grill came with 6 small pieces of meat and a few lukewarm chips, for £16.50 I was expecting a bit more. Dissapointed as wanted to try here for ages. Probably wont be back.

Terrible amount for food for the price

Delicious food and great deliver service as always, thank you x

I have visited the restaurant 3 times previously and have absolutely no complaints, in fact I have positively raved to friends and family about how nice/good the food and service is. Tonight I had booked a table and was seated on time. 20 minutes after being seated nobody had returned to the table to take the drinks order let alone food. 2 tables that had arrived after me already had their drinks and one of those was placing their food order. I am generally a patient person but tonight I felt so disappointed I made a member of staff aware of the situation and left. On a positive note I will be back in the future as the food is great but tonight my patience ran out.

I love Ada. Food is great, really tasty. Have been several times, most recently was with a large group of 20 of us. Despite the large table, service was fabulous and food all arrived really quickly.

Food is always great, staff always friendly & helpful.

Burger was nice however you get a ridiculously small amount of chips for £4.50 and trying to charge £2 for a slice of cheese is shocking. The chips didn't taste like they were fresh and the cheesecake tasted frozen/weird. Definitely won't be ordering again.

Terrible customer service. Very rude individual (owner?). Will avoid in the future and visit other establishments in Elgin & Lossie.

This was a lovely meal for 2 on a Thursday evening. We didn't book but did get a table immediately. The staff are very friendly here, you feel welcome. Food was really good, plenty to choose from. The decor is particularly memorable, I loved the...

Lovely food. First time having Turkish very impressed. Great staff. We purchased some authentic Turkish delight. Yummy

Overall tasty food that doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish and in pain after eating. I feel that the menu needs to describe the dishes better as I misunderstood what I would receive. I ordered the lamb kebab which says it comes with a salad, however, it come with salad in the wrap and a side of chips on the side. Which kind of defeated the rice side I ordered. Also the starter dish of babaganoush was £5.50 and didn’t even come with bread!?! I would understand if it was in the sides but it’s a starter… how would I eat this without bread? That said, I do like this restaurant and it’s great to see such a successful place in elgin that isn’t pizza or burger related! The delivery was only a little late and the driver apologised and said they were “unusually busy”, so I’m not bothered. Thank you for providing tasty authentic food

Usually the food is incredible from Ada’s but on this occasion, it was poor quality and my meal was bland. The chips also tasted like they’d been sat for a long while and were stale. Not a great experience this time.

Ordered takeaway tonight and the food was first class, had the mixed grill and some Calamari always fantastic food here would give it six stars if I could 😋

Recommended to us by local and did not disappoint. Excellent choices on the menu. Service was very good. Lamb was cooked to my (selective) satisfaction. Vegetable moussaka was delicious. All freshly cooked with great service. Thank you.

Menu is available outside to preview We didn't have to wait to be seated Lovely ambiance and lighting and very comfortable booths/seating Very flavourful Meat dishes and I would reccomend the Wraps Out of three £££ it's the higher side of ££

Excellent food and service, every time we've visited. Authentic Turkish food. Recommend the hot mezze platter.

Always had really great food from Ada. Unfortunately there has been a couple of times that the food has been incorrect or something missing. I had left a reminder to include strained yoghurt and the tomato dip as we have, on occasion, not had them in the bag when we got home. This has happened again tonight. We also ordered the Kuzu Tandir but had something else completely. It had carrots, peas and potatoes in a gravy not the shredded lamb, bread, slaw and yoghurt.

too small portion size of rice with kebabs
