Never having eaten Turkish before I was a little apprehensive. But didn't need to be. The food was fantastic; marinaded chicken wings so succulent and tasty. Service was very attentive and prompt and, despite a full restaurant, never lacking. Yes, a definite recommendation.

We went for dinner and also for Turkish breakfast on the next day.. The food flavour was awesome. We ordered a mix platter, sawarma , Turkish tea, and dessert. The breakfast was outstanding , the quality, the quantity of food was great. I recommend who wants to try the authentic Turkish breakfast to everyone. The staff was great and helpful.

It is a place that we had the opportunity to visit today, with delicious flavors from lahmacun to kebabs that will make you feel like you are in Turkey. The friendly face of the employees, the quality of service and the owners of the place, Mr. Mehmet, were very hospitable. A must-visit place. Our family liked it very much, we recommend it

We asked for raspberry cheesecake and got blackcurrant. Didn't make a fuss. However when only ordering tea for one, a latte and two raspberry cheesecakes then getting blackcurrant, I certainly didn't expect a bill of £21.60 Just glad we only had a snack there and not dinner! Shame as I love Turkish food and would have returned. The cafe was clean and tidy and staff friendly and helpful.

Excellent food, very polite waiters, felt very looked after even though I was by myself. The chicken was very tasty, and the flatbreads to start was a lovely gesture. Although definitely on the pricier side, you get what you pay for!

Came here because of the TripAdvisor ratings and reviews and we were pleased that we did. Decided to go with the £65 meze for two instead of trying to work out ourselves which dishes to choose. Ordered a bottle of wine which was ok (we had one somewhere else the day after at the same kind of price which was much nicer). Oh my goodness - that meat! Beautifully tender and tasty. In fact the whole meal was top notch. We even found (just) room for a pud and a coffee. The only criticism was that the two young kids on the staff both came up separately and asked something along the lines of 'are you guys finished?' while we were still eating. They're obviously inexperienced but they need to stop doing that. No wonder the place was busy and has great reviews, as we really enjoyed it here.

My Husband and I went to Aspava on a Sunday evening whilst we were staying in Cockermouth. We were warmly greeted by the staff who looked after us during our meal. The service from them was wonderful. As for the food absolutely delicious it felt as though we were transported to Turkey. I can highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. Book a table because they are very popular.

Terrible to say but it was our first visit to Aspava, we we're greeted with a lovely warm welcome from owners Mehmet and Tracy and shown to our table. The staff were fantastic explaining the options on the menu and suggesting a really nice bottle of Turkish red wine, food was quick in arriving and was delicious, we had the meze and main set meal for 2, plenty of food for 2 people , but we really wanted one of the amazing desserts we had seen delivered to othe tables!! A honey cake and a chocolate pistachio with 2 turkish coffees later and we were done. A superb evening in lovely surroundings with fantastic food and great service, we will be regulars from now on.

Nipped in for some of the decent looking desserts. Got two to takeaway, but very disappointed, it was way overpriced for what they were. The taste was very bland, didn't taste of much at all, definitely not worth £6 each. A bit of a shame as a local I won't be going again. Would have been better off spending £2 on a box of Mr Kipling's.

RUDE STAFF!! What an experience. Me and my Turkish girlfriend came in to eat. We have been shocked by the prices but decided to proceed anyways due to the good ratings and we said we will not drink anything to save some money. My girlfriend ordered in Turkish and it took longer than usual and I asked what's going on as I don't speak Turkish. She said our waiter was insisting to order drinks and she said we will not as these prices are too much. From this point it was a nightmare. 6-8 Turkish man stood in the kitchen talking and staring at us... They brought the food, it was less than average. The lamb chops was very chewy and the rice tasteless. We said nothing... A short and chubby man was staring at me and showed me rude hand gestures and said "I'm the chef" and went into the kitchen 🤷🏻 okay... so I know who ruined our food 😅 This place is a daytime robbery where CHICKEN WINGS costs £21 🤣like how? The cheapest part of the chicken is above £20 in this restaurant. Just to let you know how much these meals should cost I'll attach an other restaurant menu. Hırsızlığı takdir ediyorum🫶🏻

What a remarkable find in Cockermouth. Very hungry after some lake swimming and found Aspava to be the perfect remedy. Couple of lovely starters from the hot & cold meze selection followed by chicken kebab and lamb ribs. Food was consistently fantastic - I would genuinely travel from Leeds to eat those ribs again! Lovely staff - a wonderful evening. Thanks all.

Our pick of the Cockermouth restaurants. Came for dinner and returned for the excellent breakfasts. For dinner we had the mixed grill and it was all cooked very well with nice chilli sauce. The bread is freshly baked and delicious. The desserts on display when you walk in are also very tempting. We tried most of them and I loved the cinnamon and apple tart. The decor is tidy here, very clean and new. The service is friendly from the owner and staff. They clearly have a hard working kitchen too. The breakfasts should be tried too. The cold platter is more of a continental breakfast option. We also had the hot breakfasts which at £14 are amazing value and more akin to a Turkish brunch. Great place this and it won’t let you down.

Fresh, quality ingredients used throughout and all served piping hot. The wait staff and other staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices similar to London but this is quality therefore worth it.

Service was friendly and everyone was warm and welcoming - especially the chef who we chatted to just before leaving! A lovely, intimate dining space. We will return!
