Az Restaurant in Scarborough

We had a lovely meal at this charming little Turkish restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavours, and the portions were just right. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. It’s a cosy spot with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a true taste of Turkey in the heart of England!

We come on holiday to Scarborough every year and we always come here at least once and the food is always 10/10! Lovely service and very attentive, cannot fault them at all and I can’t wait to come back for more, thank you!

Brilliant meal again on Saturday night 21/09/24, service brilliant food outstanding stuffed mushrooms followed by the fab Salmon. This restaurant is very popular with it's location on Columbus Ravine with all the guests houses there.

Amazing food amazing staff great recommendation on what to have food/wine one of my favourite restaurants a pleasure to review

Fabulous restaurant, Fabulous food and the staff can't do enough to make your night out a memorable experience. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

A great evening out with a group of friends. The food was delicious, freshly cooked and very well-presented. The restaurant, which is spotlessly clean, was full at 7pm on a Thursday evening . The staff were very personable, courteous and helpful in advising and suggesting which main dishes might be suitable for us. All in all we had a really enjoyable time and certainly plan to return to this restaurant.

Absolutely delicious food. The Mezze was wonderful. I recommend you should try this. The staff were so welcoming. We will definitely be going back.

This restaurant was an unexpected find and recommended by the hotel. The food and hospitality was amazing. Meze to start us fab. Sorry we could.not show you how good it looked. Desserts are fab too. You will not be disappointed 👍👍👍👍👍

We visited tonight- party of 9 (including wheelchair) Nothing was too much trouble. (Including parking for disabled car)- Thank you. This place is fabulous. Great food, great portions. All home cooked and fresh using quality ingredients. Service was superb too. Great value for money. This is a massive gem in Scarborough and well worth a visit (but make sure you book) Thanks Mehmet and team

We regularly visit AZ as it must be one of the best and most professionally run Turkish restaurants in Scarborough. Mehmet is a great and friendly host and all his staff are excellent. The chef is a master in Turkish cuisine. Unlike most restaurants we have visited, Mehmet takes great pride in his wine selection which are all regional Turkish wines and are excellent. We will certainly be back and cannot recommend too highly.

7 of us went for dinner on Fri and it was amazing. Mehmet and the team really looked after us. The food was fantastic!

Went here whilst on holiday, lovely staff, lovey food what more can I say.

Lovely place to have a meal. As it was such a long time ago, Cannot remember what we ate. Place was quite as we got here very early. It started to fill up, so you can see people come here again and again.

We find Az one of the best restaurants in the area. Recently visited for a birthday celebration with family and friends and, as always, had a lovely dining experience. All chosen dishes were beautifully presented and extremely tasty (many thanks Josef, the chef) and high quality ingredients. Tasteful, relaxing ambience - a huge thank you to Mehmet and his staff.

This is my 2nd review for this restaurant, my last was 2016. Still outstanding! The food is excellent! The owner chats with you now, I think in the beginning he was more shy (that’s my opinion) but he did all the cooking himself. Everyone should visit here at least once, you’re missing out if you don’t! The prices are quite reasonable, the food presentation is very good and the service is great. As you e probably guessed I love it!

We have been coming to Az for many years as a family. The meze is second to none and the main course selection is extensive so it’s hard to choose because they’re all so lovely. Very attentive service, couldn’t have asked for better. We visited tonight for my birthday and the owner, Mehmet was so kind and friendly as always and I even got a birthday song and candle - thank you Mehmet and everyone at Az ❤️

A fantastic father's day meal treat, quality food, quality service and at a reasonable cost. Well worth a visit in atmospheric surrondings.

Excellent service and fantastic food.

The food was really delicious; empty plates all round. Moussaka on par with one I had in Crete. My daughter, who is generally picky, ordered the Tavuk Shish and literally cleaned the plate. Hubby ordered the lamb Iskender which he said was amazing too. Had desserts which were equally as nice. We didn't order starters as we had a big lunch but feel like we missed out on this. Would come back to Scarborough just to eat here... Tuesday evening was very quiet but gave 5 stars for atmosphere because it did feel very authentic.

Twice I've been now. Gorgeous meals both times. The seafood casserole has got to be the best meal I've tasted for years.

This is the second visit for us and both times the food was excellent. The staff are very hospitable and the service was great.

What a hidden gem! Beautiful authentic Turkish food with great service and fantastic value for money. We enjoyed every aspect of our meal, and can’t believe we’ve not been before. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food, friendly host, really enjoyable meal. Plus seafood casserole to die for plus great rice pudding and Irish coffee.

If you go to Scarborough and love Turkish Mediterranean food this restaurant is a must. It is very intimate and family run. Food is very nice and portions are a good size. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Nothing was to much hassle. We had a brilliant night celebrating my 50th with friends. Will be returning when we stay in Scarborough again.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant staff is very friendly and helpful food is amazing, never been disappointed looking forward to going again next time I'm in Scarborough

Excellent service and excellent food! Definitely will be back! Thanks

We were out on a walk and just called in when we were walking past to see if they could fit us and they could. Food was excellent. We had prawns and kofta to start, both absolutely delicious. Husband had mixed grill for the main, and I can't remember what mine was called, but both were delicious. We will definitely go again.

We had a lovely family meal at AZ restaurant, the atmosphere is great and it feels like you’re in Turkey. Lots of choice on the menu, we shared a Mezze to start with which was delicious. For mains we had Chicken Iskender, and two Lamb dishes Az Saran and Kul Basti, all were delicious and very generous portions. There is also a good choice of vegetarian dishes to try on our next visit. The service was excellentan we had a lovely attentive waitress. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Probably the best Turkish food I have tasted in the UK. It was the first time we have visited Az and we wished we lived closer so we could eat there more often. The atmosphere is great, the staff so friendly and the menu was fantastic. We started with a mixed meze and the flavours and selection were a feast for the eyes and then the tastebuds. The main course selection was a hard choice but we finally made our minds up. The chicken shish was well cooked and tasty, our grandson had the mixed grill, declaring it was the best he had ever had and my husband chose the Iskender guvec which he loved. We couldn't resist the freshly baked baklava for dessert and it was propbably the best I have ever had. Compliments to a fantastic chef. The owner Mehmet although busy, still found time to speak with each table of very happy customers. When we go back to Scarborough we will definitely visit again.

Fantastic food, some of the best I have eaten outside of turkey. We started with a mixed meter, then I went on to have a tavuk shish, followed by the best baklava I have ever tried. Service was friendly and efficient and wait times for food were good. Highly recommend

Hidden Gem We came to this restaurant after seeing the online reviews we live local and decided to eat here on a Friday night AZ has a nice relaxing atmosphere and staff were very helpful we both had different starters and shared both as we did with the mains chicken and Lamb dishes everything was well cooked and nicely presented Turkish Delight cheese cake to finish which was delicious this was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last fantastic staff and food what more could you want for and plenty of on street parking

Had a lovely meal here on Friday 22nd March .service was excellent and food was amazing . Lovely decor and everywhere was spotless .food very reasonable priced We'll definitely be back next time we visit scarborough

Fabulous meal at Az with friends for a special birthday Beautiful food atmosphere & a very warm welcome Thank you to the whole team

Superb food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. This is a gem, Turkish food and hospitality in Scarborough. A small and intimate restaurant, with the most delicious food. Good selection of Turkish wine as well. A lovely place and we will be back.

This spot is a diamond of a restaurant for scarborough and I recommend to all who fancy a real taste of Turkey. The food is incredibly flavourful but light - meaning you can have a three course meal and enjoy every mouthful, I will definitely be going again thank you Mehmett and team for delicious food!

We had the most delicious meal, with a range of beautiful Turkish dishes to choose from. The mezze starter was the perfect size for sharing and packed full of flavour. The mains were generously portioned and stunningly presented. We enjoyed the baklava and affogato for desert, followed by glasses of Turkish tea. Mehmett and his team were always on hand to make sure we had everything we needed. An absolute must visit in Scarborough! We will be back. Thanks, Lisa and Molly

Wow is all that can be said! Absolutely beautiful from the entrance when you walk in, the beautifully polished cutlery to the food and everything in between. The service was spot on! And the food was just amazing! Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!

Absolutely stunning. Amazing food, the service was amazing. Will definitely be coming back soon

Went to celebrate two birthdays, got exceptional good and service. Great evening experience. Even got two birthday cards and balloons. Thank you AS for a most wonderful and welcoming evening.

Lovely cosy restaurant, fantastic service, food was amazing, staff were very friendly. Will definitely be returning when we next visit Scarborough!

Very good indeed. Can't fault it. Use their own recipes, do their own cooking. Subtle, tasty and very relaxing. We live on the wrong side of the country to go often - otherwise we'd be back very soon.

Best restaurant we've been to in as long as I can remember. The staff go above and beyond to make everything perfect, from anticipating when someone is coming in and thus opening the door ahead of you to ensuring your food and drink is delivered timely and perfectly. The food was out of this world - honestly there isn't a single negative thing I could say. Every flavour was rich and the depth was amazing. I usually pour a ridiculous amount of salt on all of my food - but after the gentleman who I presume owns the restaurant suggested trying it before seasoning it, I did so out of politeness and was not disappointed. I wish I was a wordsmith so that I could properly sing their praises. I'd definitely go back without hesitation and can highly recommend this restaurant

Another excellent dining experience on New Years Eve. Az retains its intimate and calm ambience, our chosen dishes were beautifully presented with high quality ingredients, delicious. Clean plates all round!! A huge thank you to Mehmet and his team for a great start to our NY Eve celebrations.

Went for a date night, and is a perfect location for a lovely quiet meal. Both had starter, main and took a dessert hope for a family member as we were too full to eat. Could not fault the food, or the service. Would definitely recommend.

An unexpected gem, well I say unexpected friends had said it was good. It was excellent, all of the food we ordered we delicious and the service was very good. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Would highly recommend!
