Askim’s in Scarborough

Superb tasty food, lovely atmosphere.

Great service from Umut and Sal. They really get the guests feeling welcome and well look after. Food was delicious but we found it a bit pricey for the portions that you get, overall I would definitely recommend this place as grill selection is fantastic! Good shout out 👍🏽

Great quality food .Very friendly and attentive staff . We'll definitely be visiting the lads again

Best quality food, big portions and the staff is very friendly.

Really enjoyed our first visit. Great menu choice, stylish decor, very clean. Staff were quick to serve us despite being very busy. Lamb Moussaka was delicious. Tried Turkish red wine with it, yummy. The staff are probably the friendliest anywhere!

Wow! Wonderful meal from start to finish. Partner had a lamb chop on his kebab and said it was the best lamb chop he had ever eaten. Chilli sauce amazing. Service was brilliant from start to finish they couldn’t do enough for you.

What a find. We were in Scarborough for a concert and needed an early meal. The team at Askim's were really welcoming and, oh my gosh, the food... It was incredible!! I just wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. This will be our "go to" restaurant when we're back in Scarborough.

Wonderful Service Exceptional Food Amazing atmosphere Would highly recommend great GF options

Came away to Scarborough for my sons 18th. Found Askims and I have to say the staff, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. Couldn't fault anything. The highlight was the head chef dismantling my tiger prawns and putting more sauce over them. The care and attention to detail was wonderful. We felt looked after and we had a wonderful evening. Can't thank them enough.

Staying in the area, looking at reviews, and found this gem. Fantastic, friendly, welcome. Great atmosphere inside. Really good menu choice of authentic Turkish food. Food was cooked well, tender meat, and plenty of flavour. Will visit again when in the area.

Great food. Large portions Staff very friendly and helpful

Just had the best meal, chicken shish kebabs were amazing, food fresh and very tasty, would highly recommend a visit, our server Umut was helpful and friendly, made us feel very welcome, when we are back in the area will definitely be making a return visit

Gorgeous food, first class service and lots of fun to eat there.

We were greeted by a very charming young Man named Umut, from the start he was pleasant, charming and funny. From the time we sat down to the time we left. The food and service was 2nd to none, my Wife and I had the lunch time special menu 3 courses and it was yum. We shall be visiting their branch in Grimsby as we are on a traveling holiday. The restaurant is current, warm vibe and nicely laid out. Well worth a visit.... Junaid and Trish

A great find. Succulent Turkish cuisine in an elegantly presented restaurant. Great hospitality, they did not make us feel rushed at all.

From the moment you enter Askims you know your in for a special dinning experience staff are great and most of all the food is excellent I'm not one for adding a review for a place but this is without question one of the best meals I have had in a long time Thanks again

The reviews on trip advisor of this new place led us to try it….and it did not disappoint! Met on entrance and shown to our table, drinks arrived quickly and the menu was extensive. Ordered falafel and borek for starters and they were so tasty, the borek was the best I’ve ever had! My husband always checks out other diners choices (not always discretely either haha) and he had the Askims special, I had the yoghurt chicken. Absolutely fantastic! The meals were beautifully presented, piping hot, and so delicious! The team are keen to please, and the atmosphere was buzzing. Everyone looked to be really enjoying themselves and there were people that were clearly happy returners. A lovely touch of raki on the house to finish, and escorted on leaving by a lovely young waitress. Highly recommend visiting this lovely place, we will definitely be back …. Thankyou Team Askims!

Great food,great service just a great restaurant. Sons Birthday. We all had a good evening.

Excellent food, brilliant service. Highly recommend. Spent my birthday evening here and wasn't disappointed! Will definitely be returning. Thank you to the staff who sang to me..🥳🎂

Had a really good evening. The food was fabulous, and the staff were great, highly recommended

Food was very bland and not authentic The staff were rude and when I complained because my wife's chair was wet the manager wanted to take me outside and fight him He then barred me from his restaurant I will definitely not be going back and would not recommend it to anyone

Very expensive rubbish food and service. If you wan to pay silly prices for unethical service and meat dishes without any mediterranean herbs or ethnicity this is the place for you! Absolutely terrible!

Authentic Turkish restaurants are sadly quite rare but not only does this one serve all of my favourites from the country but they also deliver it with excellent service. I've visited twice now and on both occasions the waiters have gone out of their way to interact with my 5 year old son, remember his name and chat with him. He loves the place as much as we do as a result. Food has been consistently great and they operate a charcoal grill which makes all the difference when it comes to kebabs and grilled meats. You simply can't cheat that charcoal flavour. Fantastic place and I can't rate it highly enough. The only feedback I can offer is around atmosphere, I'd love a bit more ambience with candles or lighting as it does feel quite metropolitan. This is subjective though and hardly of much concern when everything else is so great. They deserve their 4.8 star average at the time of writing this!

The food was 1st class and authentic. A GEM. We will return on our next trip to Scarborough

Lovely food and pleasant and friendly staff

Bloody hell!! What an amazing find! Great great food and service 👌

Had j7st driven 9 hours to spend a weekend in Scarborough with friends had been a long day and decided to eat at this restaurant on the Friday night omg what an amazing meal everything was so nice the service was fantastic and all the guys were so friendly Thank you so much for making a very long day of road closers through kent essex and everywhere else melt away for the relaxing atmosphere of your lovely restaurant 👍 highly recommend

First visit here but certainly won't be my last. Great food service and atmosphere

What a beautiful experience. Fantastic offer for lunch. Food was amazing. Coffee excellent. Amazing clean. We even came home with more of their signature dessert. Will be returning for an evening meal. Highly recommended.

Outstanding! Welcoming, relaxed, and amusing staff. Great food too.

Delicious food and amazing service !

Wonderful food and service. We came for a day away and chose to eat here for tea. Beautiful food and our 4 year old son enjoyed it too as staff was really good with him. Great cocktails too - mojito was perfect! Would recommend.

We were served by Sal and Roman, both had great customer service and a great sense of humour, the food and service were beyond excellent! Will be visiting again when we are next in Scarborough. The chicken guvec was fantastic!

Just got back from our anniversary meal having never been to Askims before, but hearing great reviews. WOW the food was delicious, the service was top tier and decor was luxurious. Will definitely be back again!

We decided too have a meal at askims , we were served by umut, who was really friendly, and made sure you got great service, the food was amazing, and would really recommend the restaurant to anyone wanting good Turkish food at a really good price,

Great service and nice atmosphere. The food was great, if a bit pricey 😁 I am from Yorkshire though!!🤣

Fantastic service and the food was fantastic great value for money!

Our server Umut gave us friendly and speedy service. Great food and friendly staff

MY husband and I went on Saturday night for the 1st time. The food was sensational, we both had lamb chops and the lads working there were fabulous and on the ball. Definitely going again..

Excellent place. Mutual our waiter was welcoming and attentive but not over bearing. Food was so scrumptious. Cutlery, glasses and premises were clean. They go over and above many other places. A must go place. X

Absolutey amazing food, brilliant service and great atmosphere.

Lovely and tasty Turkish food, good serving, friendly staff. Will certainly comeback if we visit Scarborough again.

Went for a date night to celebrate getting our new house. Was welcomed immediately at the door very nicely. Service all night was absolutely amazing lovely lads that run the place. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was second to none. Highly recommend this place.

First time at Askims Turkish Restaurant, and it won't be the last. Very full restaurant, but we were seated really quickly. Roman our waiter was really lovely, and nothing was too much trouble for him, or any of the staff, they were all friendly and helpful. Lots of choices on the menu, and the food was amazing and so delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit to Askims if you are in Scarborough. Thankyou to everyone tonight.

Amazingly good food gorgeous! Definitely recommend this place

Fantastic meal out, lived up to the expectations. Been to many Turkish restaurants over the years and this is right up there. The lamb chops were something else. See you again soon.

Outstanding place! Amazing sevice! Quality food and drinks! Highly recommend! The best cocktails in Scarborough!! Loved it!!

Absolutely outstanding service, food and experience. Booked a table for 3, was greeted at door by polite and welcoming member of staff, shown to our table, given time to get comfortable before drinks menu and main menu given. Complimentary flat bread with sauces given while we chose our starters and mains. Staff extremely knowledgeable on all dishes and ingredients and only too happy to help explaining each dish. We chose Halloumi, Baba Ganoush and Feta Cheese filo rolls with a lovely sticky sweet sauce. Mains comprised of Chicken and Lamb shish, couscous, rice's and a speciality dish of Chicken Sarma beyti that was so full of flavour. Drinks of Ginger beer, Cola and the virgin strawberry mojito. Portion sizes and presentation excellent, service excellent and price under £120 for 3 starters, 3 mains, accompliments and 2 rounds of drinks. Would suggest booking online as restaurant extremely popular with all ages. Highly recommended and will certainly be returning ASAP. 10/10

The food is amazing and the service was excellent.

Please note, the food is great and the people are lovely and personable, making us feel really comfortable. Also, it's spacious, nicely decorated and clean. No problems there. It's just the way we were served that rather spoiled the occasion. We were left a good twenty minutes before even having a drinks order taken, despite gaining the attention of two staff members. Then, everything came almost at once! The drinks arrived, then the starters almost with them (calamari and octopus). But the main courses were served while we were still eating our starters! Placed onto the edge of the table, meaning they were sat going colder while we finished our starters, and then having zero break or palette cleanser before we slid our plates across to eat the mains while they were still warmish. It felt incredibly rushed. The taste and quality of the food and cooking was really good, but being left alone for twenty minutes then given everything all at once meant our supposed nice dining experience was over in forty-five minutes, with no goodbye or thank you for visiting. It just really spoiled it for us unfortunately.

Lovely place Dominic the server was brilliant as was the food but a bit pricy for what you get and had to wait 15 minutes for a table

My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Askims, and we had an amazing time. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed family evening out. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us all feel welcomed from the moment we walked through the door. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, all at reasonable prices. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the charcoal-grilled meats (I ordered the Askims Special). I would highly recommend anyone dining here. We also loved the Turkish red wines we ordered. Overall, Askims provided a great dining experience for our family. With its combination of delicious food, excellent service, and fair pricing, it’s a place we highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal. We’ll definitely return next time we’re in Scarborough!

Askims is absolutely lovely the staff are so friendly and lovely with the kids. The decor of the restraunt is lovely and warm and very clean. The quality of the food was amazing tasty and full of flavour. Only thing I could say is portions could be abit bigger. Overall highly recommend to anyone in and out of scarborough.

They are so helpful and kind, we spent a lovely time and enjoyed a delicious food

Glad we booked as it was busy - easy to see why, lovely food and friendly attentive service

They were really fast at delivering food

So glad we booked here. Just back after having a wonderful meal. Everything from the bread and dips, starters of meatballs and Turkish pizza and mixed kebabs was incredible. The mixed kebabs were the best we had ever had - just melt in your mouth. Service was top notch. Everytime you looked around the guys were grafting and tending to everyone’s needs. What a great place and one we will now come to every time we visit Scarborough.

Fantastic meal . What a gem of a restaurant. Meat cooked to perfection . Can highly recommend the lamb chops and my partner really enjoyed his mixed kebabs . Here on holiday will be returning the next time we are in Scarborough. Great service from Umut and Sal

Very popular, and rightly so. Great staff and nice food. The Chicken was cooked to perfection.

In Scarborough for a few days and really pleased we found this on line. Friendly efficient service, good atmosphere and most importantly excellent food which you can see being cooked. Would definitely recommend

Very attentive staff and tasty food

The lamb chops are delicious. I will come again if I have the opportunity to come to Scarborough.

Askim's was by far the best Turkish/Mediterranean food we have ever had. I'm writing this four hours after visiting, and I still feel full! We sat outside because of our dogs, but inside looked very cosy, too. This place is a must if visiting Scarborough. ✅️

Not very impressed food was tasteless and curry was watery. Service wasn't brilliant .

I’m a GLUTEN ALLEGIC person. Great experience. I’ve been treated with extreme care and consideration from the very beginning. It is IMPORTANT to tell the staff that you are allergic and they will offer you multiple choices for you to be safe. THE FOOD was extraordinarily well cooked and presented in very generous portions. You won’t need two dishes to feel full and satisfied. THE PRICE might seem higher than in other Turkish restaurants, BUT this is not like other Turkish restaurants. This is a very good choice for the price. THE ATTENTION was at the same level as food. We are Spanish, they realised very soon and they were lovely and professional at the same time. I WRITE THIS EXTENSIVE REVIEW FOR A REASON. I made a mistake with my order, I had to cancel it (so they lost the meat already cooked) and they were still very kind to us a prepared a new different delicious dish. So I feel it would be nice to let the people know how good the attention was. Great choice.

We had a great meal here whilst visiting Scarborough for a short weekend family break. The food was delicious and promptly prepared, whilst the service was excellent and very attentive. The menu was varied and catered for anyone looking for a Mediterranean meal. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again should we find ourselves back in Scarborough.

I went to Askims recently for my birthday meal. Could not think of a better place to go. Food is delicious and everyone loved it. Service is professional and welcoming. We were served by Sal who was able to get the whole table laughing. The Askim's team are all lovely and went that extra mile to make the night special.

Cant speak highly enough about this restaurant. Always busy on a weekend but we were made to feel so welcome big table of 10. But the service and food was spot on as usual. Definitely we will be returning.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and superb service. Good for couples, families and work dos. We went twice whilst on holiday, once as a couple and again with two teenage girls. They loved it as much as we did!

Popped in here with my pal after a long day on the bike. The weather was gorgeous so they let us sit outside with our bikes and cleared a table for us. Drinks and food came quickly and the food was suuuuuuuuuper yummy. Really nice team, welcoming and good with recommendations but without being pushy. I ride out Scarborough way a lot and this is the second time I’ve been to this restaurant and I can tell you, it will be my go-to place for food in the area on bike trips. Thanks to the team for accommodating our bikes and looking after us so well!

We read the reviews and decided to eat there but the waiter was rude, he got angry since we asked him is this restaurant really halal? Then when we sat down, he did not speak to us kindly. He got angry when we could not decide what we wanted to eat, and he did not speak respectfully at all. Perhaps if we were not Muslims, the conversation would have been different.

The staff are very rude . I don't recommend this dirty place.

All staff really friendly and great with kids. Food was fantastic! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be definitely going back the next time we are in Scarborough!

Amazing food, Amazing service and amazing atmosphere

Delicious food , good environment however bad service.

Fantastic food and exceptional service as always

Can highly recommend. Great food. Friendly and welcoming service.

The food was amazing!! The service (especially from Roman) was fantastic, the whole team made us feel so welcome. Thank you!!

Came here for the first time as the reviews said good We had the lamb shank that was absolutely amazing , The server Umut was professional as so was all the other staff Recommended place

Our second visit to Askims in Scarborough this weekend just gone. It was outstanding. The customer service is amazing, restaurant is stunning, toilets are clean, staff can not do enough to help you and they have created a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food is so amazing! It is all super fresh, meat is tender, herbs and spices just right and the drinks are a reasonable price. We highly recommend a visit if you are in Scarborough. We will be there again very soon.

Booked few days before on line and glad we did as restaurant was very busy when we got there. Food excellent and good sized portions. Will definitely be going back for a meal

Food was OK. Main was lamb with lots of tomato soaked bread. Atmosphere really disappointing. Squeezing ppl in. Very loud.was very much looking forward to a nice meal with my hubby. Could not hear him over the very many ppl

Good food, good service and friendly & helpful staff.

Great Tasting Turkish food, very good value, loads of different options , you have to try the Chicken Sarma Beyti its unreal, Sal the main man cant do enough for you, always tries to make you feel more than a customer.

Beautiful food, excellent service, good little find, hard to find good food in Scarborough this came up first on google and it was definitely the best choice.

Lovely and accommodating place. Great service and yummy food.

My 60th just me & the other 1/2 unfortunately it’s only my 2nd favourite Turkish restaurant the reason for this is I ordered a Efes & it turned up in a Tuborg glass. I’ve eaten at a many Turkish restaurants the food was absolutely stunning, the staff were amazing & could not do enough for you & don’t forget the chefs OMG. It might be a while but will definitely come back.

Was treated to a meal here for my 40th birthday and absolutely loved it. Generally I usually only write reviews when I've had a bad experience, but I enjoyed askims that much I wanted to give them a review. The place was packed, but they had plenty of staff so we weren't left waiting or felt forgotten about. The food was amazing! Like properly amazing. I got the lamb houmous starter and it was out of this world. Would definitely come again

Here on holiday and advised that this is a 'must experience' venue ... Didn't have a clue what to order for a takeaway meal - the manager put together a menu selection for us, and our budget... Spot on.. food was amazing.... Can see why this is number 1 on TripAdvisor

Went tonight, not booked so thought I'd try again. I've been 4 times now. 2 good and 1 the wife didn't enjoy, so I talked her into giving them another go. Ordered food, didn't want drinks or starters,35 minutes later I've asked where our food is, (4 tables that came in after us had had their starter and were getting served their meals.) Apparently the staff that continually walkedpast us for 35 minutes hadn't realised the ticket had fallen on the floor, and no food had been served to us. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to talk her into trying again after 2 poor performances

Went with friends,not long after they had opened.ordered my meal ,when meal came had mushrooms in ,I asked if this was the wrong meal has the menu didn't state mushrooms ,was told yes its my meal the chief sometimes goes freestyle,not on my food I'm allergic to mushrooms.so haven't been back since that is till tonight my husband persuaded me to give it another go,sat down ordered two mix grills ,waited and waited enquired where's our meals there'd lost the order ,we walked out.will not ever be going back. 🔙

Spent two evenings here while in Scarborough. Very tasty and large selection of starters. First of all there are flat cakes with two spreads, these are highly recommended....in general the whole place, very nice and fast staff...even on a busy Saturday evening.

What a fantastic meal, the presentation was immaculate but the taste WOW. Absolutely amazing. Definitely a must

Great food, friendly service. All the ingredients for a fantastic evening

Best restaurants in Scarborough Delicious food, polite and courteous employees and wonderful boss. I recommend it immediately...

The food, environment, and staff are all excellent. Have been several times now and it's always a pleasure.

Lovely food !. Friendly staff Great atmosphere! Reasonably priced ! Will be back

Lovely meal with mum staff were very accommodating and we had a lovely night.

My daughter and I had a meal on Monday night. It was amazing. I had lamb shank and my daughter had lamb sarma bayti. Incredible, the best food we have ever had in ña turkish restaurant. Staff were incredible and couldn't do enough for us, as I have a walking aid they did everything to accommodate us. We were visiting Scarborough from Newcastle and would go there every time if it wasn't a two hour journey!!! Can't say enough how incredible food and staff were. Thankyou Salxxx

Loved it here, excellent food and service. The early bird deal is brilliant value for money. Very enjoyable!
