Ayla Turkish Restaurant in Wirral

I like the food the turkish food very nice will come one day. Mrs Rimmer.

I made my first visit here on Saturday, 7th December, on the recommendation of friends. I'm so glad I did, and it won't be my last. The restaurant is a good size and the tables aren't too close together. The staff are very friendly and attentive. There were 4 in our group, and we all commented on how good the food was. Cappadocia is located on a pedestrian area near the light cinema in New Brighton. There is free parking a short walk away.

Well greater at the door , offer the table in a nice place. As food arrived the waiter just dam it on the table without having eye contact instead looking away from our table, and had pen in the mouth.. not professional at all. Calamari was to chew and soft not cooked properly. No one came did check back and Waited to get someone attention to ask for bills.

great service and delicious halal food!

We had a booking of around 22 people, not one person had one complaint, everyone complimented the food and service, we’ve eaten in quite a few Turkish restaurants here and in turkey and honestly this place is amazing. Also apologises about the very loud gentlemen we had in our party 😂

Our third visit, best Turkish meal ever had , the mix grill for 2 was magnificent, delicious and plentiful, going back again soon.

Had a wonderful meal The Turkish mix grill For 2 people was succulent freshly cooked and delicious and plentiful will definitely be back

Always go here for a meal before going to a show at the Floral Pavilion. Really tasty food, massive portions and very good service. The garlic mushroom starter is lovely and creamy. Highly recommend this place.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with a friend today. Food excellent and staff very helpful and attentive. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back. Would recommend the moussaka which is served with salad, rice and Turkish bread.

Food is amazing will be going back 100%

A Delightful Dining Experience Our impromptu visit was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant's interior is charming, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. We opted for the starter selection and the generous sharer main for two, which proved to be more than enough. The presentation of each dish was impressive, and the flavors were truly delightful. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

A really great place to eat. The service was amazing and the food so delicious. Such a lovely atmosphere we were made to feel so welcome. Thank you for a wonderful experience

The restaurant is not the same as it used to be. Very disappointing. Some of the regular staff are still there but the younger new staff members were not very attentive to our needs!. We were a big party coming in with family to celebrate a birthday. When I contacted the restaurant to change the time of the table to an hour later it concerned me that they could accommodate us an hour later than the original time. I thought with it being a Saturday night , that we weren’t going to be able to change the booking time with it being a large group of us?! . The table layout was not very good and was not explained to us. And there were two smaller tables crammed in on either side of our big table! We were squashed into the middle right by where the doors were and we kept feeling the cold draft every time the main door was opened . The menu has changed, after being taken over , and is very pricey!! It’s not the same any more, as you used to get the traditional bread straight after you had ordered your meal and whilst you waited for your meal to arrive. We had to ask for the bread! A lot of the food was fatty and some of the dishes that had the traditional bread on, was soggy and not enjoyable. We had to ask a couple times to have drinks orders taken throughout our meal’s as well. Not once did we have anyone ask if our meals were ok?! The food platters that are on the menu are very overpriced for what they are you don’t get a lot of meat on the plates. It’s more rice and chips and salad. I’m afraid we won’t be rushing back to the restaurant any time soon as it’s not the same any more! For the price of the meals you would expect good quality food., especially for the price that we paid . 😕 It would be helpful for you to train your younger staff members up in customer service, as it felt like I was talking to a young kid over the phone who was speaking to a mate of theirs when changing and booking the table time.

Had a lovely meal before the theatre. Definitely will go again

Felt like we were at home! Great food, atmosphere, service and people. You should know its good when we as Turkish recommend this place.

We visited here for an impromptu late lunch. We were greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we entered the restaurant and seated promptly. The environment and background music adding to the ambience and charm of the place. Our drinks order was taken and they appeared almost instantly. Apparently the EFES is superb, but I’ll probably never know as I’m always the driver as we make the journey over from Liverpool to visit here. For starters we both helped ourselves to the bread basket, I also had the Garlic Mushrooms which are insanely good and probably the best I’ve tasted, this in itself is an accolade!! My partner had the Izgara Kofte which I’m told were delicious. For mains we both had Tavuk Sis, Two skewers of charcoaled chicken which was tender & marinated to perfection. The side of fries were also delicious but far too much for me. I guess to sum this up the food was incredible, the EFES was superb and the staff are friendly & attentive. Definitely one of the best Turkish Restaurants I’ve been to & well worth the journey across/under the Mersey. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back again.

I visited here as it’s one of my most favourite places to go out and eat. I attended with my friends as it was her birthday and they even brought out a cake for her (thanks again!) I really do recommend this place as they do the best Turkish food around. Thank you to the kitchen staff and floor staff we had such a lovely night and the cocktails are to die for absolutely incredible.

Amazing food and service, loved it all

Outstanding. Great service from start to finish... detailed and authentic decor... and the food was the best I have had in a Turkish restaurant in the UK. Excellent menu to choose from... we loved the vine leaves and olives, and the complimentary bread, salad and sauces. The fish kebab, with several different seafood, was cooked to perfection. My missus had sea bream, also really tasty. Really nice turkish music added to the atmosphere... and even the toilets reminded us of holidays in Turkey with complimentary smellies! Highly recommend this great restaurant... a real find.

Best Turkish food on the Wirral! Every dish, from the mezze to the baklava, was perfect.Definitely go there again

One of the worst restaurants and staff I’ve ever encountered. One of the staff members was incredibly rude and unresponsive. Be careful if you visit because they only seem to be receptive to certain people, while others are treated poorly. Avoid this place if you’re looking for good service!

Overall: Great experience! Highlights: Special Platter for 3 was more than enough for a family of 5, Beyti and hummus were delicious. Conclusion: Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for Halal food. Better than Istanbul Manchester.

Shocking!! A table for 3 please, yeh sit where you want? So we did menus arrive we order the platter for 2 £29 and 3 more dishes £7.50 each ( 3 poorly done chicken wings) and some other bits , the reply was is that all you want? Don’t you want any mains?? We had to ask for bread, not one question from staff about the food served, there was 4 tables with people sat and the whole focus of the restaurant was another party arriving that evening, £71 in 45 minutes for terrible service and food that wasn’t as good as our local kebab shop. Please save your money and spend else where. Really disappointed, another restaurant that rips the life out of the casual visitor, shame on you.

Went in this restaurant mid afternoon. It was quiet. The food was lovely, staff very attentive. Nice clean loos.

Gorgeous lamb / chicken platter....was well enough for 3 people's! Good value for money too! Lovely decor throughout too!👏👌🫶

Just been for a meal with my partner, the food was amazing and we didn't wait for ages for the food. The staff were lovely and we will definitely be going again sooner than later the portions were worth the money.

Visited for lunch, and it was delicious! Cold meze dishes were the stars for me - loved them all. Staff were friendly, and the service was spot on. Will certainly return.

This was one of the nicest meals we've ever had the pleasure of eating. Quick service friendly staff and nicely priced. New favourite place for us

Loverly meal but a bit too much rice and chips. Meat nice and tender.

Absolutely delicious food! Friendly and courteous service. Great value too.

Amazing food, everything was delicious, and the tapas portions were huge. Reasonably priced. Polite and friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

great experience!100% from start to finish. Great atmosphere! The staff were super friendly. And the food was amazing, would 💯 recommend visiting

Booked a table on line. They confirmed the booking by email. The restaurant has a lovely Turkish feel to it. You feel like you are on holiday, even the music is relaxing and the atmosphere is chilled . Family of 4. I had the Adana Kebab. My husband chose the lamb chops and my mother and father in law went with the boneless lamb. The meat just fell off the lamb chops. Tender and juicy. The boneless lamb was so tender and not a bone in sight. My adana kebab Had a lovely distinct taste and was very tender. The meals came with rice and salad or you could order chips. You get complimentary bread. Fresh and warm when it arrives. You get numerous dips like garlic mayo, chilli and a salsa type dip .The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The decor is amazing. Definitely try this place. If you like Turkish food, this restaurant exceeds most Turkish restaurants I've been to in Turkey and I have been to Turkey many times!

Big portion sizes.Ordered lamb feast for 2 and couple of cold starters.Food was amazing.Juicy tender meat. Lamb and chicken served here is Halal.Only beef steak is not halal.

The food was excellent, the staff really warm and very professional

Absolutely amazing, absolutely love this place! The staff are amazing as is the food. Never let you down in here as they are constantly working hard to make your night so memorable❤️ Thank you so much to everyone who served us tonight!

We went to Cappadocia New Brighton for a catch up with group of friends. Massive portions, fresh and hot food just arrived very quick after we placed our order. Interior design and decoration was lovely. Service was outstanding. Staff was attentive and friendly. Would definitely be back!

One of the best Turkish cuisine absolutly delicious, definitely recomend we'll be going again for sure. Lovely staff and great service.

Cooked to perfection, seasoning finely balanced. It was great! The bread was fantastic, light and fluffy and not dense. The staff were attentive and very observant. I didn't realise they were waiting for me to finish my starter before getting my main while I was waiting for everything to come at once hahaha, I'm such a plum. I had a foldable bicycle and they let me place it in a safe place and choose where I wanted to sit. Great place for a meal, wish I could of came for dinner time.

Beautiful place, delicious food (plus gluten free options!) and really accommodating staff. Will definitely be visiting again!

Loud background music drowned out any conversation. Menu given by waiter had little in the way of vegetarian dishes. Was not offered a vegetarian menu until I upped sticks and left without ordering food. Why oh why do restaurants not recognise that it's customer want to eat and also talk, no need for background music loud or otherwise!!

Gorgeous restaurant with lighthouse wall painting! Excellent service food portions are huge! The karasik platter to share was divine and the Turkish flat bread is morish make sure you don't fill up on that first !

Delicious food and great service. Decor has changed, same layout. Always busy, but food served quick and hot 🔥

Great food and service well worth a visit. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely evening

This is a wonderful restaurant. The service is outstanding. The atmosphere is great. If you choose to eat here you won't be disappointed. The food is delicious and plentiful. The cocktails are good and it's difficult to say anything negative. We visited on a Friday night and although they were extremely busy they did find us a table for 2. It was facing the open kitchen which I loved as you could clearly see how fresh the food was and the skill of the chefs. I think it's impossible to leave here hungry. Can't rate this place highly enough. Can't wait till next time! EDIT. Name change for this restaurant. New photo added. Still a great place

This place now has the sign ‘Cappadocia’ outside, not ‘Ayala’. Ordered hummus and garlic bread to eat while the mains were being prepared. A lovely portion arrived to share between he two of us, and it was just as well we were hungry. I ordered the grilled bream which was perfectly cooked and my friend ordered the halloumi main course. Excellent food, very friendly and efficient service. Nice beer. Would definitely return.

Beautiful place. They have changed their name to Cappadocia. One of their servers a man in his mid fifties. Such a great guy. Would be visiting again.

Great place! First time visiting & will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, friendly & helpful staff and the food was amazing. Even if we did overdo it with 3 big platters! Possibly the best tasting meat I've had. Couldn't recommend high enough.

Love everything about this place. The food is to die for....the staff, friendly and polite. The Cooks all work hard all day long and the atmosphere 👌 spot on. Feels like your on holiday. Very clean...would highly recommended. Thank you all at Ayla x

Came here on Saturday, the place was packed and they still managed to make our night unforgettable! We have a lovely meal with such lovely staff. Very big thank you to all that worked that night you are all very lucky to have such a fantastic team to work with.

Absolutely beautiful food was gorgeous 😍

Absolutely love this place, my favorite eatery at Marine Point. The chicken kebabs are unreal!

Well what a birthday meal. Firstly there was no 2 HR limit as the manager had said to me once seated .. online or email confirmation. When we arrived, we were placed in a table were we waited for 20mins for a child's menu. Then we got told we would only have an HR and a bit to eat our meal for they needed the table... We asked to move to a different table but they apparently couldn't do this ... But we had to in the middle of our meal for our dessert .. which is ridiculous The main issue was the atmosphere.... The manager constantly looking at us and telling staff off and being made to feel unwelcome. Not happy at all... Especially for the table next to us was the same size and came earlier than us. But we were the ones to move. Terrible atmosphere and made to feel uncomfortable

Been here several times, as the food is generally good and for a good price. However this time was not so good experience: - 20min to get a child menu, then they informed us there was a time restriction on the booking, as we would have only another hour to eat as they reserved the same table for others. After a bit of arguing with this type of service, they ensure we would not be rushed, - eventually after ordering the desserts (only after ordering them), they tell us they need to move us to another table for desserts. We checked and double checked and nowhere on the website, nor on the booking confirmation email, it states the 2h rule/ expectation for a reserved table. And that’s how a nice dinner can turn into a bit of situation, needlessly. Bad restaurant management all around.

A fantastic evening. Delicious food, excellent service and superb value for money. We will definitely return!

Great evening spent with a family birthday celebration all of our table had gobsmackingly tasty food which was very morish and I will 100% go again now that I know this place is here. Out of all in new Brighton this is THE place to beat in my opinion. Staff were great and the kitchen staff could be seen working super hard preparing orders all the time we spent 2 hrs inside. Looking forward to my next visit to alya already

Best food I have ever had to eat it was fantastic everything from the warm bread they give you while you wait until desert was fantastic

Absolutely gorgeous food & really helpful , friendly staff

Firstly I just want to say we’ve dined here a couple times and it has been really nice in the past but tonight’s experience wasn’t good. Food was just about warm. Served on hot plates that were cold. No bread that I assumed was always complimentary (it always has been when we’ve dined here and the Prenton restaurant). I ordered the Alinazik which in the description says “Char-grilled pieces of chicken or lamb (or mix) served on a bed of smoked aubergines in garlic yoghurt” when it come there wasn’t any aubergine. I questioned it with one of the waiters and he said it’s mixed in the sauce. I was confused to say the least because it wasn’t what it stated on the menu. Plus Iv eaten here before and its grilled slices of aubergine underneath. We were not impressed so quickly finished our meals. When paying for the bill the waiter kindly asked if everything was ok with our meal. I explained again what was wrong with my meal and shown him on the menu where it states “a bed of smoked aubergines” he said it’s mixed in the sauce. They didn’t understand what I was trying to say, either the menus description was wrong or my food was wrong so I didn’t want to further the conversation complaining that the rest of the food wasn’t great either. I just wanted to pay and leave. I cant see myself returning anytime soon.

First time going Food was amazing had the taste of everything for 2 people there was loads 😋 The only thing Id say is there's no option to leave a tip on card machine when u pay And unfortunately I didn't have any cash to leave a tip 😕 But I'll be back and make sure I have cash for a tip as service was fantastic 👌

We decided to return to Aylas for date night and we were not disappointed! We were seated straightaway and our drinks were taken by a polite waiter, he was attentive to our needs and quickly took our food order. The atmosphere was really lovely and the food came out really quickly, excellent service and great food. Definitely recommend and we be returning again 😁

We had a family meal for our sons 21st Birthday there was 18 of us and the service and staff atmosphere was perfect would highly recomend the food was delish a few of us had chicken shares and mixed shares which were huge and the staff go above and beond. Thank you for making our family meal perfect.xx

I had an extremely disappointing experience. I booked a meal for nine people at 6:30 PM on Saturday, well in advance on Wednesday, especially considering it was Easter weekend. However, upon arrival with my fasting friends, we were informed that there was no reservation for us. Despite showing the lady my booking confirmation and contacting the restaurant, we were unable to secure a table. This was particularly disheartening as we had traveled from another city and struggled to find an alternative place to break our fast.

I had a terrible experience, booked for a meal for 9 people on Saturday 6:30. I made the booking on Wednesday to ensure that we have a booking well in advance as it is Easter weekend. I came with my friends we were fasting and I have been told that there’s no booking for us . I showed the lady my booking and when I called the restaurant and she says she can’t find us a place. There were 9 of us who travelled from a different city and we struggled to find another place to break our fast. Very disappointed!

10/10, portion sizes where fabulous, service was great and quick .. and food was absolutely delightful Highly recommend will be coming again.

First time visit today. Food was fabulous and staff were lovely. We had 2 small children with us and they were very patient with them. We would definitely come again! One more thing .......... cocktails were the best! What's not to love 😘

Popular restaurant that can only be recommended by saying 'we will be back soon'. Great menu & difficult choices.❤️

Delicious meal, service excellent Will definitely be making this one of our regular eateries. On par with eating in Turkey

Brilliant food staff service fantastic

A lovely lunch of chicken & lamb skewers, rice, excellent bread, salad, garlic mayo & flatbread. Great waiters & restaurant well decorated , & clean toilets. A bit quiet as they had only just opened for lunch, but I would think it has a great atmosphere when busier. Would definitely eat there again when in area.

The best meat in the uk, lovely place, great portions, staff are amazing

My husband and myself booked a meal at Ayla as we were g.oing to the theatre to see Desperate Scousewives on Saturday afternoon. We are not really used to Turkish Food but we could not fault our lunch, it was very tasty and we both enjoyed it very much. The staff were very good, appearing at the right time but not intrusive. All in all a very good experience and not expensive, we will definitely be going back.

Been here a few times and the food never disappoints! The portions are massive and the food is absolutely delicious! I would recommend anyone to come here!

Fabulous meal at this restaurant. Never been before. Food very tasty, service very quick, helpful staff. Would definitely return if in area again.

One of best Turkish restaurants around wirral. Always warm greetings as well as amazing food. My favourite is hot mix platter and mix kebab .. Really recommended.

Food is out of this world in my opinion the best restaurant in wirral and the staff are so nice food is always fresh an I mean always,there's complimentary fresh bread an dips everytime an absolute gem of a restaurant

First time to the New Brighton restaurant and was very disappointed. Service was poor, had to ask for side plates and when plates were eventually cleared away, no-one came to ask if we wanted deserts or tea or coffee. After waiting 10 minutes for waiter/waitress service I went to the counter and asked for the bill. Prenton much better and staff there more friendly and helpful

Lovely place , great food all our party really enjoyed the meal before heading to the floral pavilion. Great place for a pre theatre meal.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, food and service. What a find!

Rated on one of best Turkish restaurants. Cannot fault everything

If you want to taste genuinely one of the best charcoal restaurants on the wirral, then this is the place to go. The food is delicious and generous. The service and hospitality is superb, and the atmosphere is that of eating out on holiday, which surely adds to the dining experience. I've eaten here several times and always satisfied and happy. A piece of Turkey right on our doorstep.

Went to Ayla last week for a birthday celebration. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant near to an open kitchen, which was great to see, and the chairs were more comfortable than the ones nearer the entrance. We were given plenty of time to choose our food, and our servers were great. After sharing our starters with min our group, I chose the Kuzu Sis, a lamb kebab dish. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, and the accompanying rice was definitely some of the best I've tasted. All the others in our party raved about their food and I'd thoroughly recommend a visit. I'll be returning soon. 👌

I'm gluten free told them said they do gf meals inc bread but still sent normal bread out was not impressed

Great food and service, enormous portions you wont leave hungry really would recommend, especially an a hangover day:))

Absolutely gorgeous meal celebrating my 60th with Family, food was delicious and plenty of it, staff were outstanding could not do enough for you very friendly and attentive, highly recommend

Booked back in November for this Saturday 16th December, only to be told on that evening that we had cancelled the reservation, which we hadn't. I've heard this happens all the time, so don't think we'll ever use this restaurant again.

Although the staff catered for a very large party, the service, atmosphere and food was absolutely excellent. Especially the food! All looked scrumptious and tasted divine. Go and try for yourselves, I had the veggie moussaka - was delicious.

Not an impressive establishment,I noticed the music was too loud from the minute I walked in , we struggled to have a conversation with our friend who lives in the area , the food was average nothing spectacular I asked the waitress for her recommendation and was utterly unimpressed, oh and what is the dip that came with my meal it was foul and tasted of fish ? Sorry if you think this is nice food but you need to get out more ….

Had a lovely evening here food fabulous staff lovely and attentive and a really nice atmosphere in the restaurant make sure you book ahead so you don't miss out!!

Amazing food Amazing service Very reasonably priced

Amazing food as always and service is great too.

Recommend this restaurant, friendly staff and quick service.

Great place to relax and enjoy a good meal staff are very courteous and willing to please good menu and mostly cooking is up to standard would recommend

Excellent dining experience, food, ambience, and service were excellent. Keep up the good work 👏

I've never experienced a Turkish restaurant before, but this place, I believe, is as authentic as they come. Both me and my partner had a really lovely evening. Amazing food , great atmosphere, and according to my partner , the Sangria was lovely. Would I recommend this place ? Definitely. Will we both be going back ? Absolutely.

The food, as always, was exceptional. Portion sizes are fabulous with enough to take home!!! My only question would be the need to have the background music so loud. There were times I felt we were having to raise our voices to have a conversation with each other.

Food was amazing good choice on the menu never had chicken so tender. Just wish the chicken kebab were slightly bigger

Wonderful experience, the food quality was good and big serving. Nice ambiance. Had grilled platter and the meat was very tender and juicy. Would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful experience, fantastic food and huge service ♥. Will definitely come back .
