Antep Kitchen in Oxford

The owner definitely understands the quality of food ,how to cook the meet and service the customers. This kitchen is Eastern Anatolia, where gastronomy is essential. I m so happy to know there is a top-class restaurant in Oxford . I will definitely come here again

Went with work colleagues. Delicious hummus and falafel served warm. Got the minced grilled lamb which was delicious. Portions are very large and will fill the biggest of appetites. The cous cous is special - large grains rather than the dehydrated sort. Really tender meat and nice local wines (regional to the cuisine) on the menu. Would go again. Very busy in the evenings and seems to be popular with families and local people. Accepts card payment.

I love my country very much. And your kitchen. We enjoyed a lot with the service of Antep Kitchen, which represents my country here in Oxford. We would also like to thank 'Uzun' who did the service. It's not an Antep style, but Raki Kebab in Oxford was also very good, thank you.

Excellent food and dessert. The prices are increased a bit, but we had a very good time there.

Very attentive service and food comes in good portions and delicious!

What a phenomenal place to eat. The food was out of this world the flavours incredible. The portions generous. Our waiter Reis was attentive and friendly. Watching the chefs they were slick and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The atmosphere and buzz in the restaurant was lively and welcoming. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

All the positive reviews are totally justified - what a place! Utterly delicious food, attentive and friendly service and a real buzz. Can’t wait to return!

I had an incredible dining experience at Antep Kitchen in Oxford. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that truly reflect the rich culinary heritage of Turkish cuisine. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, creating the ideal setting for a memorable evening. If you're looking for a genuine taste of Turkey in the heart of Oxford, Antep Kitchen is the place to go!

Had a chance to spend a splendid evening here! Good food and wonderful service. Kudos to the team especially Uzun:) Thanks to the entire team for making my 31 special🥂 Jesus is good all the time😇

The food is tasty and even gave a surprise to my friend who has her bday.. Uzun is lovely and very sweet… Definitely recommended place….

A very successful Turkish cuisine. The service and taste were quite good. Only the cold appetizers could have been a little better.

Service was amazing and Mr Uzun was incredibly helpful, best Turkish Restaurant in Oxfordshire!

Generous portion, great food. There was some minor issue when I dined in but the handling of the service team was superb, far beyond what we expected. Definitely recommended.

Brilliant food and very friendly staff. Never had a bad experience, would highly recommend

the service is very fast and Mr.Uzun is very kind and very polite

Came and had a great time - excellent service from Uzun and delicious food from the kitchen. The tavuk sarma beyti was perfect. Would come here again, definitely.

One of the most successful Turkish cuisines in Oxford and even in England. We had a wonderful evening with the hospitality of the employees combined with the taste of the food. Mr. Uzun is very caring and friendly. He made us very happy with his treats and surprises. We thank him and Antep Kitchen.

Great food and atmosphere. Our server Uzun was really professional and friendly at the same time. Thank you, highly recommended!

What can I say that hasn't been said already! We visited 5 yrs ago on recommendation and loved it, booked again this weekend and absolutely enjoyed it, the food is out of this world! We weren't disappointed, the staff are very quick at serving and nothing is too much bother, even though they're very busy they still find the time to chat n fuss over you. Quite a comprehensive menu, just love the grilled prawns! Good restaurants are in a league of their own and this one was at the top of the tree 5yrs ago and I'm glad to say it's still there! A must to visit if in Oxford! Booking is a must!

On holiday and visited this restaurant! Food was amazing. Would recommend the mixed kebab it was as good as it looks on the photos! Great service from Uzun.

Everything was perfect thank you to Uzun for the best service! Food was amazing! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Great food and excellent service by Uzun. 100% will be back.

Great service with delicious food, thank you Uzun for the care with our dinner tonight

Food was amazing and service was perfect thank you to uzun for taking care of us! 10/10 would recommend

We had booked a table by phone and asked explicitly on the phone (twice!) whether it was possible to bring our dog. This was answered with "that's no problem". When we arrived at the restaurant at 8pm with our Labrador, we were told that dogs were not allowed in the restaurant. When we objected to the fact that we had previously stated this, we were told that the employee on the phone probably didn't understand English very well. In principle, I have no problem with the fact that we shouldn't have brought our dog with us (their house, their rules). But the fact that we got there on a false statement on the phone and were sent away again was extremely annoying. From my point of view, these employees should not make reservations over the phone. There was also no notice at the entrance door and it should be easy to point out on the website that it is not possible to bring dogs. Small side note: we were offered a table outside as an alternative. It was a rainy day and around 16 degrees. I can't give stars for either the food or the ambience, as it wasn't possible to judge this objectively. However, I can certainly give a rating for the service.

Since we were going to Oxford for the first time, we chose this restaurant by looking at Google reviews and it did not let us down at all. The people of Antep know this business very well. We ordered Sarma, Mixed grilled kebabs, lamb beyti, lahmacun, Çoban salad and all of them were extremely delicious and fresh. We closed it with kunefe with ice cream, it was classic and very delicious. Mr. Göksel took care of us in a polite and respectful manner. We also thank him. In short, Yes & I recommend it.

Today it’s my first day I ate food from antep I wanna say Thank you so much for that food they were so delicious and nice service. 5 ⭐️

Some of the best shish you will eat. Sensational.

Amazing Food & Outstanding Service"** Antep Kitchen exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich, authentic flavors that took me straight to Turkey. The desserts were out of this world—don’t leave without trying them! What really made the experience stand out was Goksel’s exceptional customer service. He was kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this place!

Lamb chops, lamb ribs and chicken are highly recommended. Tasty. My fave restaurant in Oxford.

The service is fantastic, with attentive and friendly staff who really make you feel welcome. The meat is incredibly fresh, tender, and there's always plenty to enjoy. On top of that, the atmosphere is really lovely—warm, cozy, and perfect for a relaxed meal. Whether you're there with family or friends, the ambiance adds to the overall dining experience, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy quality food.

We came to eat kebab recently. An amazing restaurant. The prices are extremely cheap, perhaps the cheapest in England. But the quality is the best in England. Soup, main course, dessert everything was amazing. I would like to thank the employee named Gökay, who served me and fulfilled my every request. He is a very good kid.

Fantastic food. The service was faultless. They were quick to meet our needs without peering over your shoulder. The staff were lovely explaining the menu. You get complimentary flat breads and it was the best I’d tasted. Definitely worth going there.

5 stars genuinely aren’t enough for this place. Let me first start with the service. This was some of the best service I have received at any restaurant I’ve ever been to and trust me, I eat out a lot. They were faultlessly attentive and truly brilliant at making sure you have everything you need when you need it. The food was brilliant, from the fresh bread to the succulent meat and the wonderful mezze’s. You can’t go wrong, especially if you order a ton load of lahmacun! Honestly, I’ve genuinely not had a better dining experience in my life and the whole table agreed that Antep are truly special.

Reisss gave excellent service, he was polite and made sure to check on us to make sure we was enjoying our food and service.

Over ordered meze, but scoffed the lot!

My favourite restaurant in Cowley. Great food and price.

We often go there mostly to eat lahmacun. My wife and I were there yesterday as well. They cook it very well. You should definitely try all the delicious dishes, especially the desserts. It is the best Turkish restaurant in this region. Definitely go there to crown your special days and delicious tastes. Thank you Antep Kitchen.

We'd found it online and liked the sound of Turkish breakfast. It didn't disappoint. Very tasty, very polite and helpful staff.

Excellent service, excellent food! I highly recommend it, super warm. And good prices! The attention of the waiter Göksel, excellent! I would return without hesitation! Thank you!

Incredibly yummy and such great service - would really recommend coming here and I’m definitely definitely going to come back so I can try everything on the menu, because it was so yummy. and I’m still thinking about the lamb cubes that were on top of the aubergine yoghurt. So good.

Absolutely fantastic service by GOKAY. AMAZING FOOD and brilliant atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

İts was great also reis has special service thanks for everything recommend place

Service was so nice.thanks chef

Very nice.good seevice.food amazing.

We ate at this fantastic restaurant last night. The service is impeccable and incredibly efficient, attentive and smiling. Thank you to the whole team for this welcome! We had a menu to share, it was divine! I recommend +++

Had a love service from the waiter Reiss. Very lovely people. Will definitely visit again

Reiss was fantastic, amazing service and the food was great too, lovely atmosphere. We will definitely come back again, we came from Wolverhampton about 6 ladies. Loved it🥰🥰🥰🥰

Best Turkish food in the UK Gölsel is the best!!!

Delicious Turkish restaurant, very fast service Grilled meat, laham baajin and yoghurt ayran The best choice for a restaurant to come to after a tiring day

I went out to eat here and it was very nice, just the portion on the falafel was very small it was 4 small pieces with some hummus for £7. Other than that I was happy with the meal we had a sharing platter that said it could serve 2/3 people but it honestly could have fed 4.

Maybe the best Turkish restaurant ever? We have been three times now (getting a table is not easy because it is so popular) and each time I feel like I have been away on holiday. We went for a birthday celebration and we were treated so well. The food is absolutely fantastic with great choice and cheerful service. We just love this place.

Fast, fresh, flavourful food grilled to perfection. Nice sides and appetizers. Attentive, focused service and staff.

Amazing experience, entertained and made the while experience for our two girls. Reis was first class.

Louisa had great service and always with smile on her face. She was the only staff with great service ,smile and polite. Thank you Louisa

Very nice and clean restaurant very good atmosphere there specifically the chef first-class cooking also reis first class service he has

Very nice meats with nice and quick service

Over rated. Average food extremely overpriced. Adana is full of chewy tough gristle. Lamb shish was better. Couscous was very bland. Salad was good. Lahmacun was good but £5 for one very expensive. Pideys were decent. Service was prompt as it was not so busy. Clean environment. Friendly staff however all gathered in the middle shouting in turkish.

Nice food and nice service! Celebrating my wife’s birthday and they played a song on which everybody started clapping their hands! Made us feel really important and appreciated

I had a wonderful birthday celebration at Antep Kitchen! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Mix Kebap and Kusbasi Ali Nazik, which were unforgettable. The service was attentive and each dish was prepared with great care. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, making it a perfect spot for family gatherings or dining with friends. I highly recommend Antep Kitchen to everyone, and I will definitely be coming back again! But Just hope, we are allowed to drink cola next time !!!

The most wonderful lunch of the lunch special menu which was incredibly well valued with a good selection and more than enough to eat with grape flavours full full of freshness, highly recommend it.

excellent service And the food is delicious But the price is a little expensive... Also, sometimes the plowing of the service becomes a nuisance This means that the employee is looking at you all the time, and this is annoying...

Came here for dinner with family. Best fish dish i ever had; fresh, tasty, full of flavours. Vegetables was super fresh, ambience was good, staffs were amazing. Plus point would be its halal.

Currently #2 restaurant out of 350+ restaurants on Tripadvisor. Very expensive (£20+ for a main). Was extremely tasty, very quick service (albeit on a Sunday evening), and didn’t include a service charge on the bill. Will definitely go back, overall fantastic.

The food was absolutely beautiful. My husband said it was tenderest meat he’d ever tasted. I had the vegetarian kebab- with delicious roasted aubergines, green pepper and green chill. As a family group celebrating graduation, we were served courteously and efficiently. We loved the birthday tune, played for two other tables and the atmosphere was full of joy. Reis was a kind and considerate waiter, he was absolutely spot on with our order and could not have been more considerate or attentive. Portions were very generous and we were spoiled. Thank you very much!

Great service by Louisa, great food from the chef, lovely atmosphere. Amazing experience.

We were very hungry so I can say the food was ok, the place sells alcohol so I don’t know how is halal. There was only one guy with a smile on his face the rest were looking little arogant. Overrated and expensive.

I am tired of the beauty of the food, a strong, strong, very strong restaurant, with very delicious food and fast service, of course I will visit again!!

The food is exquisite and definitely go for parties, couple friends or even just a takeaway. As soon as you arrive, you have a host to show you to any table of your desire unless it's busy. Prices look extremely but for what you are paying for and getting its well worth the price.

it was amazing we had such a nice dinner. very politefull service! we return soonly!

The food and desserts were delicious. The waitres, especially reis, was very good. It has an extremely good atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly, the treats are plentiful and the atmosphere is very fun. I would definitely recommend it.

Delicious food & Incredible service In fact, best meal I’ve had in England yet! Would come here again and would recommend to everyone visiting to check this spot out.

One of the best restaurants in Oxford. And their service is amazing

Everything was great. Thanks for the service and delicious food.

The food was very tasty, and the owner and the staff were very good. It is a clean and friendly restaurant.

You should try it . That was amazing .

That was so great.I feel like in my country. You should try it.

Tasty food and generous portions, the service was quick and attentive. Will visit again! Very lively atmosphere :)

Went here a few weeks ago after hearing alot of people saying how good it is, Food was lovely and fresh, great service great atmosphere will be back

Their morals towards the Arabs are very poor, the atmosphere is uncomfortable, their looks are hateful, and their treatment is rude and provocative. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very annoying, the songs and the crowding of tables next to each other.

Very nice place to take family and friends would recommend.

The best grill restaurant in Oxford

Excellent food and highly recommended👌

The most delicious lamb ribs you can find in the UK! Great hospitality as expected from a real Turkish restaurant! Hint: Don’t forget to ask for a Turkish tea/coffee at the end😉

Food was really good, very generous portions

Great environment, amazing food.

I had an incredible dining experience at [Restaurant Name] in Gaziantep. The authentic Antep dishes were bursting with flavor, especially the perfectly seasoned kebabs and delectable mezes. The baklava was the best I've ever tasted—crispy, flaky, and perfectly sweet. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, making the evening even more enjoyable. [Restaurant Name] is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the true essence of Antep cuisine. Highly recommended!

Great meal great staff fair price

Great for lunch! Good food, great service, excellent value. £10 main and a drink, comes with a drink and salad. Well flavoured, well presented and relaxed. We come here often.

Recently, we went to Antep Kitchen based on a friend's recommendation. We love Mediterranean food and had been searching for a good place for a long time. The falafel was super crispy and different from what we've had before. I had the chicken beyti, and the chicken was authentic and flavorful. My partner had the Turkish breakfast and he absolutely loved it. Would be back for sure!!

Not sure if it is autentic turkish but is defo a starter place for beginners to decide if they like mediterranean dishes. There are vegan options as well i guess and came here for a lunch deal which is superb and good value for money. It was so big a portion that i had to takeaway half of my couscous for my lunch next day. Nice setting and not very crowded in side though it looks like fullhouse.

Hi guys, we decided to have a quick stop to eat here today because one of our friends recommended this place to us, the food was delicious especially the meats prepared in the turkish way, the taste was great, the food was fresh and served quickly, very well cooked, no complains what so ever, a bit expensive for the sizes but for the taste its worth it, we will go back here for sure !

The vibe of the restaurant is amazing, the staff is pleasant and make your experience good, the food is delicious as always. Best Kunefe and Baklava I've ever tried. Love the place! ❤️

Lovely food lovely service. Very happy overall :)

We Iove coming here for family dinners. It’s always really lively, and the staff are friendly. Book in advance to make sure you get a table. It’s really popular so I always worry that we’ll turn up and have to wait for ages, but they are really good at managing wait times. We usually order the family platter and you get SO much food so we end up taking food away. The lamb ribs (Adana) are the best! I just wish I could order extra ribs with the platter. And the kids love the chicken wings. Great venue for birthdays, meeting with friends etc. I’d also be happy going alone and eating a whole plate of ribs to myself.

We came from Istanbul on holiday, we felt as if we were in Turkey. The food was very delicious. The staff was friendly, the service was very fast. We would especially like to thank Mr. Hasan for his interest.

Amazing food however slightly pricy

Food is super, but never quite. It’s the best in Oxford

I have never found Turkish food particularly inspiring but I wanted to have my opinion changed. I have been on a mission to find an authentic Turkish restaurant and found Antep Kitchen whilst visiting Cowley road. The food was truly exceptional. It far exceeded expectations and I can't wait to return. A bit pricey but it's worth it.
