Surprisingly, a great place in a small town. The food was literally beyond my expectations and the service was also excellent. Simple but spacious and clean restaurant serving halal food with such delicious taste. I must recommend it to all.

The place smells good when you go in. The service is good, the food is great and the bill is fine too. ~£30 a head for two inc a wine or two, a beer and two coffees. Two filling courses left no room for a third. Went by recommendation. Will go again ASAP and pass on the recommendations.

We called on an impromptu visit, as our dinner plans changed. My wife and myself shared a starter of spinach and feta parcels (not sure of its real name) the pastry that incased it was so light and tasty. Our main courses were as equally good in taste and execution. Would Thourghly recommend this restaurant.

Properly nice food! Very well cooked every single time I order. Probably the most consistently good Turkish food I’ve had! Mixed grill on rice is amazing, The Afats Special is also very very tasty and their Choban Salads are fantastic. I think they add Sumac (spice) which elevates the salad really well. Can’t wait to order again 👍🏼

Had the lamb Beyti, only got one small skewer of meat which was nice.but thought it was expensive £17 for only one skewer. The mixed grill looked so much better with three skewers and a lamb chop for £4 ish more. Wasn't offered any sauces but asked after hearing another being offered some. The sauces made the rice and salad , , unfortunately we were halfway through our meal .

We order takeaway from here weekly and the food is amazing, have also dined in at the restaurant but the drinks are very expensive so prefer takeaway. The chicken krema with rice is my favourite main course and the backlava is beautiful too for desert. It can easily set you back £50-£60 for two main courses and two deserts so it would be good to have occasional offers for regular customers but I cannot complain at the outstanding quality of the food and it is consistently the same every time which is something very rare I have found with other restaurants.

Wow… some of the best Turkish food I’ve had in Sheffield/Chesterfield. Complimentary bread and olives which were so tasty. We asked for a starter selection of bread and dips and we were not disappointed. I opted for the Adana main which is a minced lamb kebab, with rice, bread and salad - it’s a big menu so if you’re stuck and you like Lamb.. go for it you won’t regret it! Attentive service, very friendly staff and the venue is good too. I will be back here. Worked out at £145 for four of us with starters, mains, a bottle of wine and a few beers so pretty good value.

Food was good, but got our orders wrong. Asked for a glass to go with a bottle of coke which never came. We asked twice. Took drinks order and drinks didn't come, when we asked again, they said what did you order, so had to start from scratch. Staff were pleasant and place appeared to be clean. Vegan order was incorrect so was sent back. The rest of our group finished our starters before it arrived.

A great little restaurant. We turned up no knowing what to expect and were nicely surprised. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and intimate at the same time. This was reinforced as there were at least two families in celebrating birthdays. I won't spoil what happens but birthdays are celebrated! The food was great, lots of fresh produce in the veg and salad and the lamb was great too. The mains are big so be prepared. All in all and good experience and reasonable prices so I will definitely be going again

Travelled quite far to visit this restaurant, much needed as missed breakfast so went for starters as well as the main. All food came very fresh and we'll prepared. Decent portion sizes and for the quality of the food very well priced. O like the restaurant playing authentic music to give the Turkish atmosphere. Parking out front along the street also. Choose pide for starter which came quite quickly and the bread was light and not gummy. Meat tasted fresh too. The iskender kebab was very tasty and the meat was full of flavour not always the case with Turkish restaurants.

Usually this is my favourite place to order take away from have also eaten in at the restaurant in the past. Quite expensive but you get what you pay for and I’ve always really enjoyed it until last night it came early which I didn’t mind but it was cold the lamb was dry and tough as old boots the chips were anaemic and soggy the salad was going brown so the majority of it ended up in the bin. Really disappointed this time round.

Wow what an absolute gem this spot is. Mr. Afat took care of us as if we were sitting in his dining room at home. The food was the star of the show. Incredible flavor. They use a proper charcoal grill, and you can taste the difference. Big portions, very reasonably priced, good wine list. I simply can't recommend Afat's strongly enough. Will be back as soon as possible, what a find!

The food was good. The service we received was very poor. The staff are not organised. We gave our order for drinks and food after waiting a while for a waiter to come. After a while, we asked for the drinks and mentioned wine. That arrived but not the soft drinks. Then the food arrived. we asked for the soft drinks again, then again. Eventually, towards the end of the meal, we asked again this time they arrived. The place was busy, but the service needs to improve.

Lunchtime delight. We had a great time eating out at Afat's Restaurant. The food was incredible, the service was discrete, friendly and professional. I had the Afat"s Grill which was for me an excellent choice, as each mouthful (and there were plenty of mouthfuls) was a delight. I will not need to eat for a week. Try the Ottoman coffee for a sweet treat if you are struggling (like I was), to eat a dessert. All I can say to the staff at Afat's Restaurant is thank you all for making our lunch so special.

Visited for the first time and totally agree with previous positive reviews. Service and food some of the best we've had recently. The Adana was very tasty and the Cop Shish had the most tender and succulent meat. Sadly, we were seated close to the door which has no porch or wind/temperature protection. It was -3 C outside... Also, due to the very fitting Turkish music being played at moderately high volume, the overall noise level rose steadily, as guests tried to have conversations. Regardless, we will be back to sample more of the menu, thank you.

Good spices,well cooked and such a plate full of food,I was stuffed ! My partner had chicken in a mushroom sauce, that came with rice .
