Cartoos Grill House & Desserts in Aberdeen City

I would recommend his restaurant dog friendly food excellent Staff welcoming...

Very friendly staff who were fun to talk to. Food was very good with large portions, it was a really enjoyable experience.

Always have a great meal at Cartoos. We all love the little bowl of soup at the beginning of the meal. The smash burger for main is a go to - really tasty and would highly recommend. The staff are always so attentive and friendly.

Waiting staff brilliant robot is cute atmosphere amazing and food to die for good value for money as well

Greeted by sedat at the door and he was an absolute gentleman showed us around and the menu and made us feel very welcome service was impeccable and even got a lentil curry as a free appetiser which was amazing as well! Had the mix grill for one and absolutely csn taste it's coal cooked amazing flavour and fresh baked naan bread as well very generous! Would 110 percent come back here when we come back to aberdeen!

Excellent food quality and over caring service Welcoming atmosphere and amount of food is very generous I highly recommend it

The staff were so lovely and kind🥹🫶 Despite us being late, they were still able to accommodate us and ensure that we had our food🙃. I had birthday dinner with friends there and I would definitely recommend that everyone should celebrate their birthdays there😍😊

Delicious food, very family-friendly. The service was excellent! The coffee was delicious.

Excellent fish dish The welcome and service by SAJ were perfect, smiling and friendly, and they made an effort to speak French. Great atmosphere, good food, and a great seaside restaurant in Aberdeen.

Please bring back the shisha, its a must in Cartoos especially when Mohsin does his special mix

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Moshin’s service. He was friendly, professional, and really went the extra mile to help me out. It’s clear he genuinely cares about what he does. People like Moshin make a big difference, and I honestly think he deserves a promotion. Great job!

Myself and partner have dinned here several times we travel from Glasgow just to eat in cartoos The service is AMAZING ♥️ we got there a little early this evening our table was booked for 7pm arrived at 6pm asked if we could go to the tented area and we're told not to be silly we got ushered in straight away to our table our server moses (sorry if I got that wrong) he was in the black suit was OUTSTANDING!!! Told us he would look after us for the evening and he did just that nothing was any trouble for him he took the time to chat to us and get to know us as we did him made us feel like royalty when we were seated he came over with complementary soup to heat us up, when our food arrived he came over once to see if everything was upto to standard ☺️ not over bearing just a VERY KIND GENUINE person when we were paying the bill he was behind the bar but took time to come round and say good bye!! And he hopes we can get back to see him soon, the rest of the staff are just as LOVELY!! MASSIVE COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEFS also as without them we wouldnt be served AMAZING FOOD!! WE are planning a cheeky wee visit VERY SOON!! PS can we have a cartoos in Glasgow pleaaaassseeee ☺️ Lots of love From Stacey and Craig Price Xxx

Lovley atmosphere very quick and the food was 10 outta 10 amazing and drinks so good would highly recommend

Very good, high-quality food. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food and service! All the staff was very very friendly and polite, food portion were really good and delicious ! Recommend this for anyone who is looking for a nice meal especially when the weather is good it’s nice to sit next to window with a sea view 👌

We absolutely loved it! Food was wonderful, great atmosphere and fantastic service. Daughter had grilled salmon with green beans and sauteed potatoes and I had the hummus platter with falafel, greek salad and the most delicious sesame garlic flatbread. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making us so welcome.

SAJ was really friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meal. Thank you Saj for being so nice

Celebrated my daughter’s birthday here and the staff couldnt have done enough for us. So friendly and welcoming - a real lesson in hospitality. Food was excellent, enormous portions and cocktails delivered with a theatrical flair. Wonderful place highly recommended.

Very good food and friendly service

Great food with incredible service as well. Saj was especially lovely with regards to ensuring me and my companion were very comfortable.

When we first walked in, I did notice that the interior showed a bit of wear and tear, with some areas that could use a little refreshing or repair. It’s nothing that ruined the experience, but updating a few details could really elevate the atmosphere to match the fantastic quality of the food and service. Speaking of which — the service was absolutely outstanding. We were warmly greeted by a lovely gentleman who showed us to our table with a big smile, instantly making us feel welcome. The menu was another highlight, offering a great variety for different tastes. I’m a big seafood lover, while my husband prefers meat, and we were both more than happy with the options. The portion sizes are very generous — so much so that for once, we skipped dessert because we were already full! To start, we shared a creamy mushroom sauce with bread, which was rich, flavorful, and perfect for setting the tone of the meal. I chose the special salmon dish, which included a generous piece of salmon, prawns, and potatoes, all topped with a delicious mushroom sauce. It was cooked perfectly — juicy, flavorful, and the salmon itself was wonderfully chunky, which is quite rare to find. My husband ordered a mixed meat platter that came with koftas, chicken, beef, and lamb alongside rice. He loved every bite, and I can say the chicken was incredibly tender and full of flavor — not dry at all, which is often a challenge with grilled meats. Before our starter, we were served a lentil soup that was simply the best I’ve ever had. I even asked for the recipe! Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it as each chef prepares it slightly differently, especially to accommodate for allergens — which I completely understand. Honestly, I would come back just for the lentil soup alone. Overall, while there are a few minor cosmetic improvements that could make the environment feel even more inviting, they don’t take away from the wonderful dining experience. The food and service both exceeded our expectations, and for that reason, I’m giving a full 5 stars. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Friendly staff, and plenty of great quality food for your money. Impressed.

The service was exceptional, and the ribeye steak was superb. Even better then the Steak restaurant in Aberdeen City Centre. Fully recommended!!!

First time eating here ,amazing, service excellent, will deffo be back next week .thank you for best food .

Superb food excellent service and reasonably priced

What can I say, the complimentary soup of the day to start off with was just what you needed when it is cold outside. Warmed me right up, The main course was just 10/10 mouth watering steak and chicken steak. The mushroom sauce was out of this world. Will definitely be back. Recommend for anyone, staff is super friendly!

I had a very good experience dining with my 3 friends. Friendly waiters who provide fast service. They also had very cool robot servers. We were promptly served complimentary lentil soups after ordering. I ordered a pina colada mocktail which was served in a theatrical way with dry ice, which was a nice touch. I ordered the falafel for starter and okra stew with rice for the main. The falafels were crispy and tasty. Okra stew was delicious and the rice had the perfect texture. Dessert I got from the ice cream bar, which was a scoop of irn bru sorbet and a scoop of lemon sorbet. All food was delicious. All-in-all my entire meal and drinks came to a modest £30. My only criticism is that the menu needs to be updated as the allergens aren’t accurate. There was an aubergine dish with yoghurt that wasn’t marked as having milk as an allergen. Some mains are under starters etc. I was able to specially request that the vegetarian dishes could definitely be vegan though, and that request was met.

I ordered one hot chocolate and It was amazing. Thanks

A place to keep coming back to! Tasty food, good variety, and William the manager is a lovely man!

Really awkward inside, customer service was next to horrible and passive, urging for orders when it wasn’t busy and I was waiting for my friends to come meet me. Food was disappointing, specially the ice creams. Just save your money and go to another place.

Really nice place when i went, have been there a few times for meals, but the food is just a bit cold when its supposed to be hot, would recommend it though.

Went mid week, quiet nice & food was gorgeous 😍

food was a mixed bag - desserts weren’t great, and we would not recommend the burgers, but swordfish was lovely. we also received complimentary soup, which was very nice. the service was good - or at least the waiters were helpful. the robot was disappointing. we expected a robot server. the robot did not pull his weight. atmosphere was quite good too, we went with friends and it was overall a good time. however, we were originally seated at a circular booth table with room for 3 people on the booth, and an extra chair placed on the other side of the table - meaning that one person was supposed to sit facing the other three. we asked to be moved, and were sat at a better table, so no harm done - but still an awkward intended seating arrangement. overall we’d still recommend cartoos - it’s a high 3, but a 3 nonetheless.

Best place on Aberdeen beach to have a lovely coffee or a meal. Friendly efficient staff and Robots!!! Great fun!

JUST LOVE IT !!! Salomon Benedict brekfast meal.

Ordered the lamb kofta and was well seasoned. Others in my party had the panko classic chicken burger, and the Mediterranean burger. All served hot and generous portions. Menu pretty decent, would definitely recommend

Allowed us to sit in the gazebo with our friends dog which was the main reason we chose Cartoos. All the wait staff were dressed very smart and gave prompt service, coffee was yummy and affordable pricing. Would love to come back again and try their desserts.

This has to be one of the best places to dine in Aberdeen. We visited on Valentines, and the atmosphere and the service were outstanding. The place was clean and well decorated. My partner was given a rose for free. We were served lentil soup on the house, and it was to die for. I had the mixed grills, and my partner had special salmon. Both were cooked to perfection, and were wholesome and delicious. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. If I knew about this place, I'd have been a regular already. Massively recommended.

Very good service and good food , very friendly staff thank you

I would highly recommend this place to anyone, whether it be for ice cream or for food, it is extremely well organised and ran in a professional manner. The choice of ice cream is amazing. Couldn't pick out one fault. I must mention the hygiene and cleanliness as well which is extremely important of course. Top class staff all round!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely friendly service and food was fantastic.

Fantastic fresh hot food make with love looks always amazing and tasty, waitress so nice and always helpful.. aslo theybhave a nice desserts icecream and more ... Love this place one of my favorite restaurant. Prices friendly to your walet🙂👍

Loved our visit here. The staff are lovely and the food was perfect! Will absolutely be back 😁

Absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was good, the gentleman looking after us was very polite, attentive and more importantly had a great sense of humour. Food was great, some amazing flavours and we all left happy and filled. The soup was amazing, the shashlik outstanding. Can't wait to go back again and try more dishes on the menu. Well done guys

The food looked appetizing and delicious, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. The steak we ordered was tough and rubbery, making it difficult to enjoy. The service was disappointing, as we constantly had to get up or wave to catch the waiter's attention. On a positive note, the drinks were excellent, and the portion sizes of the food were generous. but overall, the experience was underwhelming. I personally wouldn’t return.

The food tastes good, 𣎴 is as strong as expected, and the green pepper is really spicy. Maybe today is a holiday, and only a few restaurants are open, so this place is considered full. Unfortunately, the service attitude of the restaurant is... . -Cappuccino -Mixed Gill -Moussaka -Lamp Liver #Aberdeen Beach #Cartoos Grill House & Desserts 3-9 Esplanade, Aberdeen AB24 5NS United Kingdom

The food is very delicious, especially the grilled meats. Their shame is the long wait for the food to arrive

The barbecue dishes are good, so they can be cooked immediately.

Delicious food, good service, nicely decorated, the robots are cool. Would definitely come again and recommend it to other people

Really enjoyed our food. Venue was nice, staff lovely. Will go back

Seafood was great. Portions are big, overall good place for food.

The service was superb, and staff, such as Victoria and the manager Aga, are wonderful. They served us well and we're very professional. I will recommend this place to everyone who wants good location, beach front, quality ice cream, and food. Please don't hesitate to come to the Cartoos Grill House & Desserts.

The food is so tasty, scrumptious and delicious, they are very generous with portion sizes. Atmosphere was clean and calm, Customers service was excellent can’t fault it in anyway. This is our 3rd time visiting and every single time we are blown away by the warm welcome we received from the staff and Bella the Robot🤖 👏🏾🫶🏾 Bella get to sing Happy Birthday Song for hubby as well. If you or any family members needs a very nice restaurant for birthdays celebration in Aberdeen Cartoos is the place to go, when you there just let the staff know and Bella the Robot 🤖 would sing a happy birthday day song for you or your love ones. I would definitely recommend Cartoos to anyone looking for a premium place to eat in town.

Seated quickly and the staff were very attentive and friendly. They are passionate about the food here. Had the large mixed grill for two, and the meat was perfectly seasoned and delicious. Thanks Sadiye for delicious food, The sauces were great. The food here is phenomenal!

Fantastic food, great service, bit quiet but was during the afternoon, would highly recommend

Great food and a great price. Will definitely be looking into going back.

The food was absolutely delicious! If my wife and I are in Aberdeen again, we will surely stop there again! Generous portions of delicious food! And the robot are cool too!

We visited Cartoos yesterday to celebrate my mum's birthday and everything was just amazing. The atmosphere was great, we especially loved the Halloween decorations. The staff were super welcoming and just made my mum's day that much more special. It was just brilliant, from the moment we came to the moment we left. Most importantly maybe, the food was just delicious. Not to mention the complimentary lentil soup, just perfect. We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!! Thank you to the great staff and compliments to the chefs!!!

The size of the steak is much smaller rather than when we were at the restaurant. It's still tasty, but this difference between sizes is weird.

First the positives: Were greeted well at the entrance, then allocated a table right away directed by their gimmick "the robot". Were served lentil soup as complementary, decent portion sizes. Now the negatives: Ordered mixed grill that was too salty and average taste, fish plater with bland taste, diet cola with no gas and watery taste (from their dispenser), sticky feel to their tables (seems they never clean their tables for next customer). Kartoos needs to improve to make their customers come back!

We were looking for somewhere to eat after the cinema and found this place, we had complimentary lentil soup which was lovely, I had mussels and hubby had garlic mushrooms for a starter (really generous portion size and both were delicious, we then opted for the seafood platter for 2 which again was cooked to perfection and very generous portions, service was friendly and faultless and cost around £60 with drinks, one small fault would be the lack of cutlery and perhaps a discard plate for shellfish but not a big deal, would definitely recommend and will certainly eat here again

After walking out a certain place near Cartoos. Walked into Cartoos and came across a polite member of staff that opened the door for me and my partner. This gentleman was polite and friendly. Taken to our seat by a robot and was given time to look at menu. The staff was so polite and the food was just simply amazing. The complimentary soup, which was spiced lentil was just perfect- wanted more 😁 The service and food was just amazing quality espeasically for the price. Certainly will be back here. Keep up the good work everyone.

What a place 👍. Food amazing, service amazing and staff very friendly, attention to detail. We will definitely be back. When is Inverness getting a cartoos 😁?

Had a great time at Cartoos. Went for the cat robots but really enjoyed the food too.

AMAZING 👏 VIEWS FOOD 👏 STAFF ROBOTS 🤖 WHICH SERVE FOOD 😋 THAT WAS THE BOMB 💣 AND IT TALKS 👄 FOOD PRICES AFFORDABLE RICH GENEROUS 😇 PORTIONS GOOD AMBIENCE SERVICE WITH A SMILE ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL IN EVERY WHICH WAY.

The atmosphere was nice but what I loved most was the service and the music.

Great food at reasonable prices 👌 the staff were very welcoming and made our experience enjoyable.

The food was amazing,service excellent, Thank you for everything .

Really lovely food and lots of choice. Suited kids and adults. Will definitely be back

Absolutely loved the food and service here. Underestimated the size of their towered burger and we were so much in trouble with it. Nicest burger we had here in the Scotland. We had no idea this was all halal. Will definitely visit all the time

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight, very friendly and helpful team - delicious food, portions are enormous though.

Ordered the fish and chips it was very nice. P.s. All the food is Halal

Food was worst, I got food poisoning. I ordered Lamb and Prawns.

Robots served me . Lot’s of plants

Not impressed at all. Did not have what we wished to order. Order was wrong and drinks took a long time to be served to our table. We won’t be back.

Excellent experience 👏 Food very tasty Good service We will be back.

Stupid wait to be served, particularly seeing we were the only people there ( apart from the guy smoking the shisha pipe), £12 for a single scoop of average ice cream, then 20 min wait for 2 lattes, one of which was luke warm at best, and neither of which tasted much beyond a warm coffee milkshake. Really poor service, over priced, and what's the point of banning smoking/ vaping when there's a rather obnoxious man blowing clouds of pipe smoke at you every 45 seconds. Really wish we hadn't bothered, highly disappointing, just glad we didn't eat there. It's a bit sad really, it's nicely set out, in a prime location, yet was dead as a door nail when we went in ( 2pm ish on a Saturday).. I fully understand why though. Avoid if you like hot drinks/ coffee flavoured coffee.

Excellent meals, great service team, was the 2nd time and will be back again. Highly recommended. Prices are affordable, very fresh ingredients

Firstly, I thank Mohsen very much for his dedication to our service. The food was beautiful and the quantities were plentiful. We ordered an excellent mixed grill, as well as a very good mixed fish.

Food,ambience and servicewas excellent. Amazing service and very friendly service

It was an improtu hang-out with friends and it turned out to be amazing. Dipo, the who served us was fun to meet . His guidance in choosing the meal gave us a sweet experience. Great job

Really great experience, dipo was an amazing customer rep, if you ever visit request his service 🫶🤩 totally enjoyed the service.

Nice on the beach. Delicious mixed grill meal.

The meals were very good, the service was great, I highly recommend it I will come back there for sure

Is decent food with lots of great options. With good portion sizes. Service is OK

For mojito we was waiting more then 30 minutes, for shisha around 1h and looks like waiters just forgot about us because it wasn’t busy at all

Very slow service, we waited for 4 mojitos and shisha 40 minutes

Lovely place, lovely food. Must try

Waited for ever for coffee … and it wasn’t worth the wait…

This was my first visit although hubby and the kids have been before. We all really enjoyed our meal, the helpings were large, the food was tasty and we all said we would definitely visit again. The staff were all really friendly and attentive. The robots were a cool touch.

Turkish grills have always had a good reputation but this restaurant is exceptional the food and service by moshin is very good it also has its own dedicated ice cream bar and coffee shop next to the espanlade of the Aberdeen coast line ... this is one not to miss out on if you're in the area . Mark

Food was fantastic and the staff was really good and friendly as well.

The best food I've ever eaten, with really good service and there is a chance for them to give you out free food for tests!

Great weekend afternoon outing. The service and staff were friendly. Very very child friendly. What’s with the free soup. It was lovely my granddaughter hoovered it up. Robot service was a winner for our party. The food was tasty and surprising . Lamb liver delicious. Portions were on the large side. No complaints are all. Recommend if you are hungry . Prices good for quality and portion size. Pudding to make little one eyes grow. 👍🏼

Great staff... very professional and attentive. Food also good.... but the environment and the staff make this place what it is... only the location let's it down. If more central would be a lot busier

Went there today to celebrate my son's birthday. We ordered our food and got complimentary soup that my son fell in love, lentil soup is now his favourite! Hopefully I can cook something similar at home 🤣 when the staff found out it's his birthday they organised a surprise with a waffle and a candle 🥰 there was extra dry ice for a show that my child was very amused with! Amazing stuff, friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you guys for making my boy's day extra special ❤️

Spur of the moment waln by and went in. Staff were excellent, the sharing for 2 was exceptional with the meat done to perfection with char and seasoning. Will definitely go back

Their ice cream is horrible, even though the price is high. The gives less amount as well. They have ruined my sunny weekend today.

Came here for dinner during work trip to Aberdeen. Glad I didn’t read the reviews beforehand - we had a really good experience. Food was lovely, the service was excellent, really enjoyed the robots and loved the huge ice cream sundaes. I would absolutely come back if ever in Aberdeen, and encourage people to give it a try

We booked a table at 20:20 on Friday Evening, the server provided us with all our requests,was very supportive, polite and eventually made a really good quality shisha for us,food and atmosphere were good as well!
