Ayla Turkish Restaurant in Wirral

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!

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

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!

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 !

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

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

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.

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

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 😍

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.

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

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 as always and service is great too.

Amazing food Amazing service Very reasonably priced

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

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.

All good I will come back for more 😁👍🏻

Absolutely stunning meal , amazing flavours and great portions . The meats had fantastic char taste to them , the ribs were a tad chewy but we're really tasty. The rice was delicious, fresh bread really nice and the hummus was the best one I have had in ages so creamy smooth and a nice hint of garlic in it . Million percent coming back

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, will definitely be back

Fantastic food almost like being back in Turkey, friendly staff. Was a little delay between starter and main course but was a bit busy so can be expected

Went there with my wife, daughter and puppy at approx7pm on a Sunday. Ate outdoors. Staff went out of their way to make a meal without any onions for my wife. Food was tender and excellent. Lovely friendly place and worth a visit.

Yesterday we toured the Wirral peninsula, stopping at Ayala, New Brighton for lunch. The food was tasty and well presented. The cloakrooms were spotless, providing extras in the ladies. More than that, our waiter Nelu made it a wonderful experience. Nothing too much trouble, he exudes warmth and friendly conversation. He is such a credit to the business. Thank you for making our day.

Fantastic food served by friendly staff. We have been a couple of times and have been impressed both times.

Absolutely love this place. We’ve been here many times before. Had our wedding and anniversary meals here and meals in between. It is by far our favourite place to eat in new Brighton. Reasonable prices and always the warmest welcome from staff.

Went tonight for my Birthday meal and everything was perfect! Food was so gorgeous and our waiter Nelu was just fabulous! Nothing was too much trouble and he made my night! Highly recommend this place, never had a bad meal here! Thanks for the Birthday Cake too! 😃

What a nice place 😊 Lots of friendly staff, very attentive. The food is amazing! Definitely going again 😊

Found this little gem by accident whilst spending the day in New Brighton. Food is sublime and the staff are friendly and go above and beyond. Highly recommend

I ate really Turkish food for the first time and it was really good and the restaurant was well frequented and we still got a table.

Lovely food Great service will definitely be going back

Highly Recommended. Lovely place to dine. Very friendly staff. Great menu. Tasty food and didn't take long to arrive considering it was very busy. Definitely need to book.

Food wasn't very nice at all..food orders wrong prawns where raw.

Fabulous food and service. Would highly recommend the chicken sharing platter for two

Lovely place and food is delicious

The food was amazing and excellent the drinks were reasonable priced I would definitely be going back to Ayla Turkish grill.

We had the most delicious salads which were big !!! Great choice of food and lovely staff.

Lovley restraunt the service was fantastic and they serve efes proper turkish beer

It was one of the best meals we have had and a fabulous atmosphere to go with it. Staff went above and beyond, and you can tell that they enjoy their work. Will definitely be back, I did ask if they could open a restaurant in the Midlands 🤣

Lovely food and great atmosphere! We went for a meal before going to the cinema- would definitely recommend. We will be back again!

Staff very attentive and friendly. Food fresh and tasty. Staff really do go the extra mile. Place clean, including the toilets. Recommended from the standpoint that food wise there is something for everyone.

First visit to the Ayla after hearing lots of positive feedback. We weren't disappointed. Lovely warm welcome, great service and the food was excellent. We'll be back and will highly recommend to friends and family. Great to see you are thriving!

Absolutely loved the food and service

We had a great time. My 2yrs old daughter was given something to entertain herself and the staffs are friendly. My favourite place in there is the bathroom. Very clean bathroom. I do get infection from public bathrooms for that I hold myself when I go out but the bathroom in there for so relaxing and nicely cleaned.

We had an amazing day yesterday 1st July to start the weekend of for my 70th, food was delicious as always went further and beyond for the occasion, staff fabulous 👌 👏 ❤️🥰

Fabulous food, great service and warm atmosphere

Always enjoy Ayla. Food is excellent as is service. Reasonable prices. Always clean. Would recommend for a nice relaxing meal.

Glad we tried this place, food was fantastic and staff very friendly, would definitely recommend

We had seen the previous reviews for this place, so expectations were high, and we were not disappointed! We were a group of 4 on our first visit, so we chose the meal for 4, with a bit of everything. There was so much meat and chicken that we couldn't finish it all, but we made a valiant attempt. Everything we tried was first rate, and the service and atmosphere was excellent too. I am writing this review some 11 hours later and I am still full! A rare 5 stars from me, but thoroughly deserved. We will definitely be back for more.

Staff Very friendly and so we're other customers making the evening very pleasant

Foods lovely, never disappoints

Brilliant lovely food and really friendly

Lovely family meal, can't really fault them, would return 100%

Well presented food at a reasonable price.

This place is exceptional for food. Have been back time and time again. Only dropped a star as quite noisy as always full!! Highly recommend
