Aspendos Ashford in Ashford

Amazing ad usual :) The best restaurant in Ashford!

Food is very generous and delicious. We ordered the cold meze starter for 2 and 2 mains and we could not eat it all, for exaple, the picture showing the rice, that is for one person!. My only tiny suggestion is that perhaps the staff don't all loiter by the bar as I did feel that they were watching us eat.

I am sitting at the restaurant as I write this. It has been fantastic. Food was beautifully prepared. Great flavour. Generous portions. I am impressed.

Great food. Majoring staff great. This could have got 5 stars for service if the first staff member didn’t try to imply we could not be seated as we didn’t have a reservation. Thankfully the manager intervened and found a way to be hospitable. Will defo go again if in town.

Always a fantastic meal & service 😋 Carlos always goes that extra mile to make sure your experience is special Highly recommended 👌

We had a perfect night out. Cool place to have a dinner. Well spiced meal, if you know what I mean. We love chilli

Food very good, been to a few aspendos and all very nice.

Only went there for a take out order but I could see the restaurant had a great atmosphere and staff were friendly. The quality of the food was really good and portions were more than expected. Price was also good. Will eat in next time.

Excellent service Excellent food

What a fantastic place to eat. This is a gem for genuine Turkish food lovers. We ate here last night, the portions are huge and utterly delicious. Quality is outstanding and the staff are so friendly and know their stuff!! I felt like I was in a beautiful Turkish village having a fantastic meal. Initially I thought expensive, it was not . It was and is amazing value. And we are back again tonight.

Lovely place for a meal. They were particularly good about my gluten-free dietary requirements and checked everything was OK for me with the chefs and went out of their way to ensure we had a good meal. 5 stars for you people who are serving and cooking here.

Loved the food. Very tasty and generous serving with a very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and kind. Soft drinks have become very expensive though

Superb quality of food, first class service and really nice atmosphere!

Very clean, welcoming restaurant. Great food would come back again.

Dropped by Aspendos for a quick meal. Tried falafel starter served with humus and bread and the taste was amazing. Not like the arabic falafel, but still very good. Humus had a great taste too. The best part is that its halal restaurant with a large selection of meat items. Will definitely visit again to try more things. The atmosphere is calming, cleanliness well maintained, ambience is great, service was quick. The staff was very hospitable and welcoming. The restrooms were clean n maintained too.

Nicest Halal restaurant in Ashford 👌👌✨🌟

Very delicious dinner, the rice tasted so nice, the platter was worth it

Nice relaxing atmosphere, the staff are friendly and efficient. Food took a little longer than expected but it’s definitely worth it. The portion size is bigger than we thought but we’re very happy taking them home. Good value for the price, we had a good time here.

Very good food and fast service. Also definitely recommended with children.

Absolutely phenomenal food that was so well seasoned. Even the hummus was amazing. Fast delivery of food and a great variety in the menu. We had the sharing platter for 5 and still had loads leftover that we bought home. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, couldn’t do more for us! I also love the great choice of desserts also that went down a treat. Can’t wait to return!

Went there with 5 people. And what delicious tasty food. Highly recommend the platter so much food so much flavour. The lamb chops and rib lambs ughhh so tasty. Fast delivery of food. Will be returning many more times.

AWFUL STAFF! If I could leave 0 stars I would. My parents had an awful experience. My mum had a medical emergency which required an ambulance to be called. During the whole ordeal, one of the waitresses was commenting (in Turkish to the other staff which she did not know my dad speaks) that my mum is drunk! My mother has never had a sip of alcohol in her life. She also was frustrated that the ambulance being called would prevent them from closing on time! The worst thing you can do in such a situation. No one needs to hear their wife be spoken badly about whilst trying to support her medically. Also don't operate on wild assumptions that they can't understand you in Turkish. The manager, who only speaks English, was kind and attentive and once he found out what had happened, was apologetic. My mum is okay thanks to the lovely manager who called the ablulance and the amazing paramedics in Ashford! Edit: Your replies makes no sense as I was not the customer that was "refused service to"! The reply to avoid responsibility is ridiculous. You know well that is not true. Rather than training your staff not to talk badly about your customers assuming they wouldn't be able to understand you, you decide to portray a lie. I am sure your CCTV cameras would beg to differ about not seating my parents or about anyone being intoxicated. A fact which the paramedics could also confirm. You should be relieved she was okay! Instead you avoid responsibility, which makes you appear in an even worse light. Great job!

Spontaneous decision to go out for a birthday meal. Superb meal with plenty left to take home for the next day. Friendly and attentive staff. Thank you!

Spent an evening at Aspendos for my birthday staff especially Carlos made it very special . Have eaten here many times will come back lots more. Definitely reccomend

Thank you for the happy birthday song for my son !!

First visit here as we usually go to the Deal one. The seating was lovely in booths around the edge. We ordered a starters and main meals. All food was lovely, staff attentive. Lovely atmosphere as there were 2 big parties of people in there at the same time.

The restaurant is impeccable, the food is excellent and so is the staff! It was worth every penny! Delicious food! We go every time with love!

Excellent food served by friendly staff, good atmosphere and surroundings. I had the mixed kabab with top quality meat and a tasty sauce. There is Parking around the corner which is free after 15:00.

Good discovery, the humus is super good and the baklava too! I had a hot starter made with caramelized onions, I was a little disappointed because there weren't many given the price of this dish.

Food was nice, service was slow possibly because of the time we went, 4pm. Was very quiet. The salad was not the usual Turkish unfortunately, just a basic unseasoned salad

It was very tasty and very good attitude. everything was at the highest level Thank you for everything, greetings from our Azerbaijani brother

We had a delivery for 9 of us. Food arrived quick and in plentiful supply. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Best I've ever had and my 8 work collegues were all impressed too. Well Done.

Lovely food, lovely people, lovely environment. Greatly recommended. Loved it😍😍.

Food was plentiful and delicious. Would return!

Five stars are not enough to rate this place. The best value for money and the food quality + portion sizes are 10 stars. The service and the setting of this place are the best. From all Turkish places in Kent i confidently want to place Aspendos to the top.

One of the best places in Ashford to have either a couple meal, friends outing or even an engagement or birthday outing. Beautiful

This is where most of our Friday night is spent for our family dinner. We moved around here 2 years ago with our two children. The staff are always so helpful. Their lahmacuns so good we always order if available. Their quality and taste of meat is so good and both rice and bulgar is always perfect. They always give you warm turkish bread with yoghurt sauce and salad. My son wore a turkey tshirt because he chose the best country at school to be 🇹🇷 and the kids really love eating here it reminds them of pur holidays in Turkey. Thank you for always serving us with such kindness and we love your chilli sauces too 😋❤️ We've been to two Aspendos one in Deal and the Ashford one is the best so far! 👌

Chose specific 15 minute delivery window offered on the website and ordered 75 minutes before. Delivered 70 minutes late, no apology just a cursory, " well we're busy". 3 hours to cook and deliver totally unacceptable. Will not use again

took my girlfriend to this place on late valentines day. the staff are friendly and food was very nice i defo go back again in the future

My husband and I have found a new favorite Turkish restaurant. Our fave go to dish is the Kebab Grills. There's an option for 2-3 people or 5-6. The food is delicious and pretty consistent in terms of taste. We have never dined in usually order take away. Great portion sizes and tasty meals. My husband loves the lamb chops and I the charcoal grilled sea bass.

Really enjoyed my meal and pre birthday drinks, lovely food good service .

Lovely people, great food. Very delicious 😋. I wish they could come to Belgium.

Was very busy when our group arrived. We had booked ahead, but the service was still very slow. However, the food made up for the wait. Yum! The atmosphere was great too, and being able to see into the kitchen is a fun aspect. The biggest negative was the toilets. They are disgusting and need some investment and tlc.

I had a really nice meal here . Lovely fresh food and great service. Can't wait to come back. Colourful and well presented food , friendly atmosphere.

The only problem was the toilets aren't what they used to be

Excellent service! Delicious food all the time! Every time special hospitality and nice atmosphere. Big Thanks for extra care of our pregnant women on the table.

Very good restaurant. Went here and ordered family special. More than enough food.

Great food, best Lamb Kofta/Shish Kebab I've enjoyed. Lovely people with efficient service, and good value for money. Loved the Turkish vibe.

Cool, excellent customer and spacious for family outing and celebration

My daughters and I had a lovely meal.

One of the best places in Ashford for food, huge portions and the food is always amazing, whether we dine in for a meal or get it delivered, always hot and fresh, staff are lovely and friendly always make us feel welcomed, we recommend to everyone!

Always lovely food and great service...very good price too.

The lamb was as tender and tasty as ever and the service impeccable. Sadly, the accoustics made it impossible to speak quietly, drowned out by a centre table of babbling young men and women sounding like auctioneers at a cattle market.

Ordered a takeaway on Friday evening, prompt delivery excellent food and great portion size, as it was my first time of ordering they even threw in a some Turkish delights and baklawa dellishhh.. great restaurant highly recommended

Great people, great meals, great experience overall.

I recently dined at Aspendos in Ashford, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food there was incredibly fresh; you could really taste the quality. The Lahmacun was a personal favorite; it had the perfect balance of flavors, and the thin crust was just delightful. As for the lamb cubes and mixed grill, they were nothing short of perfection. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the seasoning was spot on. It was a real treat for my taste buds. The overall atmosphere and service were fantastic as well. The staff made us feel welcome, and the ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Aspendos for another delightful culinary adventure! And for the lovely Brazilian guy, Muito Obrigado

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. It looks like you are in Turkey. The restaurant decoration is fantastic and seems that you having lunch in a museum. 👍

Visited Aspendos Ashford last night, somewhere we often go for dinner. They have dramatically reduced portion sizes but kept prices the same. The mixed kebab is something we have every time as it’s a great dish for sharing. But the portion size has reduced so much it can only serve one person and is still £21.50, very expensive main meal for one. We also ordered the Cadbury icecream for dessert which is actually whipped cream and not icecream, we sent this back. They didn’t have another item on the menu that we ordered available. Staff were attentive only when you had their attention, other than that they were on their phones at the bar. There were only 2-3 tables occupied at once so it wasn’t busy at all. Overall very disappointed as we have been going here for years but will not be returning, the value for money has dropped and you can get a nice meal elsewhere in Ashford for a lot cheaper.

Lovely food, always enjoy going.

Greet service, delicious meals and large portions as well

Great food, lovely staff. No close parking but would recommend Vicarage Lane car park about 4 min walk. Free after 6.00 pm

Very friendly staff specially a nice Turkish lady. Great food in taste and amount. Highly recommend

Food was generous and really tasty. Staff a little standoffish, but generally a good evening out

Food was generous and really well cooked. Nice and busy for a Sunday night. Staff polite , but not particularly welcoming.

What a great place the Turkish cuisine was excellent will definitely go back

Fantastic place, friendly staff and food was amazing.

Highly recommended The nicest food and customer service you will receive the restaurant is stunning even the takeaway is just as nice if you fancy staying in will definitely be back

Lovely place! Food was great with lots of complemtary stuff!

Poor service,food ok but venue was great

Really delicious food and great portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Would recommend and will be back.

The restaurant really beautiful place to have lunch or dinner I ordered family bakcge it was really nice backge it contains alot of delicious things. The hamus was perfect and the the olives was fabulous , the ribs was juicy and delicious , also the chicken wings i love it. The stuff were really good and kind

The ambient really looks like a propper turkish restaurant and also the staff wear nice tradidional suits. The food was very tasty and it comes in large portions! Enjoy!

Lovely meal from really superb staff. Highly recommended

Amazing food, very tasty. Service could slightly more active in some instances. Other than that 5 star

Best authentic Turkish food in the southeast and good service. Will be returning

Hands down, the tastiest lamb ribs I have ever had 👌🏼👌🏼

Very best ,wonderful food prepared and cooked to perfection 😎

Decent experience, parking is an issue, need to try it again to know full menu please

it’s really what you expect, fresh food and good service with reasonable prices.

Good and friendly staffs. They made us feel special on our wedding anniversary. Will be visiting again when next we come to town ❤️

Absolutely brilliant food, service and atmosphere.... No more needs saying

Food was ok. Service was a disaster. We were sat for over 30 mins after being given a table, had to go to the counter to request a server. Our waitress was pleasant but clearly under too much pressure. Not enough staff and frankly quite overpriced.

Ordered for delivery: Hot mezze Mixed kebab Delivered really quickly (even on a friday). Outstanding flavour and quality. Everything was perfect. Received baklava and Turkish delight for free too. Absolutely 11/10 experience today.

I found the meal we had was tasty and well presented. The best restaurant in Ashford for me as not greasy. Recommend every time 😍

Heerlijk. We komen terug als we in de buurt zijn

The best food in ashford! My husband took me here for Valentine’s Day and we ordered the share platter and omg the lamb chops were honestly the tastiest thing I have ever eaten! We got a takeaway last night and as before it was mouth watering good! Prices are good if it’s just the two of you but a family meal is very expensive but worth it if you want good food! Will deffo be back thank you! Plus staff are great.

Love this place ❤️ Plenty of good food every time I've been

Cold greasy food. Got one good meal first time ever going then prices went up and food quality went down! Criminal what they charge now. The woman that works there is rude and has no customer service skills, at all. O well.

3* given only because the food is tasty. But the prices have gone up, the meat portion is smaller and the rice/bulgur larger. Overall one receives more food than could eat anyway. Today we had a particular poor service from a young girl who didn't have a clue what she was doing and didn't even know the menu. We didn't receive our drinks and had to ask for them, then only one arrived and had to ask again for the second one. We asked for plenty of ice and we received 1 cube only in one of the 2 glasses (!). She also forgot the chips we ordered so had to ask her senior colleague for them. The yoghurt chicken shish came without pita and the adana kofte without its salad. We gave up asking for these items as clearly there was a problem with the staff. If there was not enough time to train the young girl, I assume she could have at least treated the clients the way she would expect a service to be wherever one eats out: menus- order- drinks- food. I had a friend with me who asked to eat there for the 2nd time as he loved it the first time. This evening he said he would not return as the poor service spoiled his experience. This review does not apply to the other members of stuff who probably work hard there trying to compensate for the ones not doing their job properly.

I'm stuffed, the menu is great the food is great and the restaurant looks amazing.

My wife and I attended this venue as it was one of only a handful of Halal options available to us for our visit to Ashford. We attended and were seated. The place was empty but within half an hour of our arrival it was packed and really vibrant. We ordered a platter for 2 and our initial thoughts were wow this is expensive at £48 but then the food arrived and my goodness, I quickly forgot the price. It was just exquisite. I would firmly argue that it was probably the best Turkish food I have ever had and it was worth every single penny of what I paid for it. This was our first visit to Ashford, and to this venue. Whilst I can't say much about other parts of our visit, Aspendos was most definitely a massive highlight. I would definately recommend.

What a rubbish costumer service with poor food quality, never come back again.

The worst restaurant I have been to, rabish costumer service, unbelievable costumer service, with one visitor from Canada, they were rude to me and let me down, I will never come back.

Absolutely delicious food. I had Houmous and a mixed Kebab and was not dissapointed. Highly recommended!

Great food 4 people Inc drinks £63 with 30% anniversary discountand we could not eat all so left with the obligatory doggy bag, a must visit

My wife and a friend of hers plus myself visited this restaurant yesterday, 7th February, and all in all had a very enjoyable meal in a very nice establishment. My wife started with Humus while her friend had the spicey sausage Sucuk. I went for the garlic mushrooms. For the main meal the ladies shared the Aspendos Special. It defeated them but I conquered the lamb casserole. Generous helpings of well cooked food at a reasonable price which, including drinks came to about £25 each. Recommended.

Absolutely delicious food! Delivered fresh & hot! Even gave complimentary Turkish sweets. Great service!

The bread that came with the meal was hard rock which we were unable to eat. portion of £35 meal was only one third of what is usually served in the restaurant. The bread was heated in microwave rather than grilled which are spiced when served in restaurant. Only 1 pot of chilli and garlic sauce was sent for meal of 3 people. Extremely disappointed on the portion size reduction and the quality of the food received today.

I booked Aspendos in Ashford for my step-dads birthday meal on a Saturday evening for a table of 9 of us. The restaurant itself is rather small and I questioned whether there would be room but luckily they had reserved a nice big table tucked away to one side. The food was delicious and our waiter Carlos was absolutely brilliant… can’t say the same for the others though. Carlos was serving almost all the tables and was so lovely and bubbly despite running around taking care of not only the customers but also the staff. Half of the staff members showed clear signs of not wanting to be there which did put a downer on the evening and service.

Wonderful Turkish place, delicious kebabs but I found it a bit pricey
