Eda Restaurant in Glasgow City

Very disappointing experience. After waiting over an hour literally AN HOUR for my food, and I was with my baby and very stressful to wait that long with a baby and no one is responding to you and act like they don't see you when you call them. After I asked about my order, but received no apologies or updates on the wait time. When I asked one more time one of the waitstaff for can you tell me at least how long it will take, I was met with a very very VERY rude response. Not only did he raise his voice at me, but his body language was also overly aggressive. It was incredibly disappointing to witness such a lack of responsibility and respect for customers. Instead of addressing the issue with a simple apology or an explanation, the staff's behavior was both unprofessional and disrespectful.I left the table. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are plenty of dining options out there that prioritize customer service and treat patrons with the respect they deserve.

Stopped in for lunch on a day trip to Glasgow and our group was so impressed by the food and customer service. The starter bread and assorted dips were delicious. We ordered the Tavuk Ali Nazik, Tavuk Baba Ghanoush, and Eda Kofte Güveç, all of which were exceptional and the portions were massive. We were given a complimentary cheesecake for dessert and my cousin commented that it was the best cheesecake she's ever had. The staff was lovely and this was a terrific experience all around, would highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eda Restaurant, Glasgow Eda Restaurant is an absolute gem in the heart of Glasgow! From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated to an exceptional dining experience that exceeded all expectations. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or on a special night out, Eda strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and fine dining elegance. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and crafted with such care and attention to detail. The quality of the ingredients really shines through, and you can tell that the chefs are passionate about what they do. The menu offers a fantastic range of dishes, blending authentic Turkish and Mediterranean flavors in a way that will leave your taste buds singing. The lamb shish was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. The mezzes were a beautiful assortment of fresh, vibrant dishes that provided a perfect start to the meal – the hummus and baba ghanoush were absolute standouts! What truly sets Eda apart, though, is the service. The staff are outstanding – so friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure you have the best possible dining experience. They went out of their way to make sure every detail was perfect, from food recommendations to accommodating dietary needs. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is their top priority. To top it all off, the desserts are to die for! The baklava is a must-try – flaky, sweet, and a perfect end to a perfect meal. In short, Eda Restaurant delivers on every front – exceptional food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Glasgow, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

This was an experience that everyone should try. The service was excellent. Everyone was very helpful and prompt. The bread was amazing and the food came out quickly. Everything tasted amazing, and the portions were large. When dinner was fine, we had no room for dessert, but that didn't stop the staff from bringing us a plate of dessert that was beyond delicious. The baklava was the best I have ever had, and the cheesecake had marshmallow and pistachios on top. I have never had marshmallow that could stand on its own, but this marshmallow could be a dessert by itself. It was absolutely amazing. We brought our leftovers home and they reheated well and still tasted great. If you are in Glasgow, you definitely need to have dinner here!

We went with a group of 5 with two more kids. We found a comfortable sit for our kids and ample space for our prams. The service was so satisfying and generous. We shared a large mixed grill and mix of starters. It was more than enough for all of us and we even took some home. They kept bringing loaves of fresh bread one after another and we got a complementary tea and baklava. The chef is friendly and engaging. We loved everything. The flavors were authentic, the mix grill has chicken, lamb, beef and kabab. I would recommend this place in groups to enjoy the variety of tastes. If you love Turkish food I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Freshly pressed orange juice is a delight as well. Thank you to all the team you treated us well and your outstanding service is much appreciated.

Everything is good but it's too too much expensive more than our thoughts....

Tasteful, hygienic and friendly service. Real Turkish Cuisine. Thanks to chef and all staff. Especially to Ms. Selin for her kindly and smiley communication. Highly recomended place👌

Turkish hospitality in the heart of Glasgow <3 Perfectly cooked delicious Turkish cuisine. Lamb kebab and pide were our choice. Service was wonderful and staff are very attentive and friendly - thank you Nikos and the team!

It's very pricey and not worth the money.

I am very disappointed! This place used to be my favourite place to come to. The food quality has changed alot and it's not worth the money. The guy at the bar was very rude and racist. I only asked him a question about the prices and he replied very rudely, therefore I will not be visiting this place again!

Fantastic hospitality and great We'll be back!

I recently visited Eda with my wife, both of us dressed in our traditional attire. Initially, we were given a table, but as soon as we were about to place our order, the waiter abruptly asked us to move to another table, claiming it was an order from the manager. He spoke to us rudely, asked us to get up after we had already settled, and directed us to a table in a poor location, far from other diners, as if he didn’t want anyone to see us in the restaurant. This experience felt deeply discriminatory and made us uncomfortable. We decided to leave immediately because this place is not worth a single penny. I strongly advise others to avoid this establishment. Such blatant racism has no place in the service industry.

Very good food. I had the surf & turf (sorry, didn't remember the Turkish name), very good. Bread and accessories were also great. Friendly service.

After having waited for what I thought was quite awhile as I suppose the restaurant was super busy on a Saturday night. I was shown to a table and was asked what I wanted to order. At first glance, I thought the food prices were on the high side but when I saw the portion, I understood why. The warm bread was delicious and the sauces provided was tasty. The main dish of lamb was cooked well and the sauce took the dryness away. Upon leaving the manager made a note of saying thank you and goodbye which I thought was a very rare and friendly gesture.

Bland food with waiter having a lot of attitude.

I loved the restaurant, it manages to take us in a “journey” and makes me remember the traditional flavors and smells of Turkish food. I hadn't eaten Turkish food in a while, I simply loved it, the freshness of the products, the tea, the food was a fantastic.

This place came like a cure when we were missing Turkish cuisine on the 15th day of our trip. The kitchen team and waiters are clean and friendly. The treats that come with the meal are already perfect!!! Offering hot rice pudding while you still have to pay the bill 🥰🥰🥰

Tasteful, hygienic and friendly service. Real Turkish Kitchen. Thanks to chef and all staff. Especially to Ms. Selin for her kindly and smiley communication. Highly recomended place👌

We received a piece of bread from the house in advance, which was nice to eat while we waited for our main course. The food itself was really delicious and very tasty. It also looks nice inside and there is a cozy atmosphere. Nice service.

Good food. Great service. Really fresh vegetables. Best kunefe in town 🫶

Service was excellent staff friendly and helpful food was to die for lamb ribs and lamb chops beautiful hummus was excellent we had a mixture from the lunch menu and the al a carte priced very reasonable

Came here for an anniversary lunch and was not disappointed. Food was delicious. The meza and bread was so tasty I could have just ate that, my partner had the steak which was massive along with all the sides, he could hardly finish it! My lamb dish was piping hot and so flavoursome. They gave us complimentary backlava that if I wasn’t so full I would have enjoyed immensely. Service was impeccable. Will defo return. Thanks for such a lovely experience.

An absolute gem. Food is amazing We couldn't decide what to have from the very extensive and lovely menu so opted for the mixed plate for 2. What a choice Everything cooked superbly. We finished off with a couple of Turkish coffees and the best Baklava I've had. Folks if you're in the Merchant quarter of Glssgow then please give this place a visit you will not be disappointed

Went here before an LCD Soundsystem gig at Barrowlands. The nine cold mezze selection was more than enough for two of us - and was delicious as well!

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Each time I go, the staff are welcoming the place, which is kept very clean, including the toilets, and the food is so delicious. For the most part I've taken the food home as the amount you get for your money is LEGENDARY! Lamb that melts in your mouth. Salads that tickle your taste buds and sauces so good they could easily be a great snack with the complementary bread you get. WOW! This place is good. Don't worry about parking too as there is plenty of free parking near by.

A superb charcoal grill restaurant that excelled in their marinades. One of the very best examples of Turkish cuisine not just in Scotland but in the whole UK. Excellent for large groups and celebrations. No decision fatigue, just order the large mixed grill, and enjoy the show!

As a Turkish resident in Scotland with a passion for exploring Turkish restaurants, I was eager to try Eda Restaurant in Glasgow, which came highly recommended by Turkish friends, including some restauranteurs. Our party of four, each with different expectations, was delighted by the experience, which showcased hallmark Turkish hospitality and authentic cuisine. The head waiter, Kenan, along with the restaurant owner, were exceptionally helpful and accommodating, significantly enhancing our dining experience. We began with a selection of sharing starters, followed by a delicious mixed kebab platter, also for sharing. The lamb chops and skewered meats were cooked to perfection. A standout dish featured aubergines, prawns, and chicken, all fresh and authentically prepared, reminiscent of a neighborhood restaurant in Istanbul. The atmosphere at Eda Restaurant is charming—bright, welcoming, and perfect for a leisurely meal. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxed dinner, complemented by a bottle of raki, and concluded our meal with some delightful Turkish coffee. The addition of Turkish music added to the ambiance, and we look forward to hearing even more on our next visit. Overall, Eda Restaurant offers an excellent blend of authentic food, warm hospitality, and a pleasant dining environment, making it a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Turkish cuisine. We will definitely be back! Thank you Tevfik Bey

Eda is a bright and modern restaurant with well spaced tables that provide the customer with plenty of privacy. The customer service was friendly, polite, and efficient. The food can only be described as delicious with excellent.seasoning and the meat on this occasion ,a lamb dish, Kuzu Ali Nazik was cooked to perfection. On initial viewing the price at nearly £27 appears expensive. However this does includes a substantial meal with rice, grilled veg, salad, bread and a selection of dips.Similarly there was no skimping on the quantity of meat. I'd thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food, great location and friendly service 😁. Love it.

Nice middle eastern restaurant, their food is a feast for the eyes - fresh and colourful. And of course delicious. Loved the cold mezze platter and mixed grill, the staff is attentive and friendly.

Very good restaurants. The food are excellent. Very good service. I felt like I was in Turkey again. Prices are very good. I would recommend anyone to go to this restaurant and try Turkish food..

I put in a large order for a company lunch. The staff could not have been more helpful after we had a bit of trouble paying over the phone. The food was ready right on time and utterly delicious!! The food went down a treat and all my colleagues were really impressed with this quality and taste. I'll be coming back here for a proper sit down meal! Thanks very much

3 Aussies. First time eating Turkish Cuisine. OMG this is the best food we have eaten on our entire trip so far. Service was exceptional but nothing on the food which was prepared by papa (well thats what we called him) and his team. They bought us out dishes with compliments from the chef on top of what we ordered. So fresh and original. We cannot speak more highly of EDA. We give it a 6 stars out of 5 🤣🤣

A great experience at Eda. They provided us with lots of complimentary starters and side dishes. The atmosphere and service were friendly and lovely. We will certainly be back.

We had the large grill platter and it was so good!! The turkish tea was good as well, great service😊🌟🌟

Great experience!! Me and my family loved it and they offered us dessert and tea

3 months ago i order medium mixed grill with pida all on the table costs £50 but today i been there i order large mixed grill only costs £57 so nothing different between medium and large never asking for large just wasted your money only order medium exactly same food just wings not included so medium £35 large £57 exactly same I believed today something wrong I told man which is all ways order food it is medium he said no it is large mixed grill medium not included wings hhhh so take out wings will be medium 😂😂 never go back I been many turkish restaurants all nice but I don't like this guy who order food hi should bring back turkish girl who was working there, I don't care about money just medium small for today but this is not fair nothing different between medium and large really I drive 3 hours I will go to Manchester or Doncaster but I'm not visiting again eda restaurant I will tell all people recommend not going anymore look pictures tell who is right

We experienced true Turkish generosity here. The waitress was exceptionally nice and the food was splendid aswell. Such a lovely place, I would surely recommend it, teşekkurler🇹🇷

We couldn't thank our chef enough, but we loved the amazing appetizers and desserts. Not to mention the deliciousness of the main course. Those who want to eat the most delicious dishes of Turkish cuisine should definitely visit here.

Wow, that was amazing! Great service and unbelievable food. Probably the best Turkish restaurant I have been to and a nice open feel with the big windows looking out over the Trongate. Class!

I don't think this is restaurant what sells food they received money. They kidding me and had racist attitude I am from Thai but they just took me to Chinese table who were there never met each other. They must interrupted their meal time too. Food also horrible. The worst than frozen food.

Thanks a million to the chef he is such a lovely gentleman, he gave me some food complimentary and the food was excellent as always, lovely service, if you haven't eaten here please go you won't be disappointed 1000% guaranteed, see you again very soon, Alishah ❤️

Great food, recommended by a friend, good selection of Turkish food. Service was quick and friendly. Enjoyed by everyone.

All the type of food we’ve order are delicious and tasty. All the Staff are friendly and willing to help and they provide is a free tea and dessert.

Bit too salty, I don't know what's going on here. Hmm little disappointed

Dont go here if you have a more than 4 members they are slow as anything after over 1 hr or so food came and was on long platters took up the whole table with less food just was not worth the wait Waiter was drinking from the bar himself drinking alchemy on the job does not seem Professional to me as his awareness of customer needs was weak asked few times for something he was acting he could not hear.

Overpriced: The same branch in Edinburgh sells Mix grill for 2 people for £36, and they sell for £57. so much price difference why?

First of all I would like to thank Ken and the rest of the team for making my wife's birthday dinner an amazing experience. Ken is the most respectful, amicable and professional manager you'll find in a restaurant. Food is 10 out of 10 with a wide selection of FRESH dishes. Price is really reasonable and the service is out of this world !! We will definitely be back. Thanks again, your Spanish friend

Very impressed. Fresh and tasty!

Every food is delicious! We ordered barbecue mix and princess, it was so delicious, the cream sauce inside went well with the bread😋😋I almost finished a whole portion by myself, recommended👍The waiter was also very enthusiastic❤️‍🔥I will definitely go there again next time🙌

I loved this resturant the first few times I visited, but all of a sudden the Porton sizes have dropped with prices going up and food quality suffering too, my last two visits was were disappointing, shame though, I really loved this little restaurant.

First there yesterday, was recommended by a friend, wasn’t disappointed it was lovely, food was fresh and tasted great service was excellent great atmosphere will definitely be back and hopefully soon , thanks

Absolutely amazing food and value for money. Would recommend all the time

Fantastic food today. 3 of use shared hot mixed meze along with lamb chops, lamb meatballs and chicken wings with rice and salad. Really friendly staff and good atmosphere. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Turkish white wine. Will definitely be back

The freshly prepared food at EDA is amazing!! The staff are friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a delicious dinner at Eda, everything was flavourful and the portions were generous. We also had complimentary starters and salad which was a lovely touch and much appreciated! The service was great as well and as a vegetarian I liked that they had many options to choose from. I will definitely go back.

Went with my Turkish friend staff amazing food even better !!!

Don't bother extremely rude. I'm sure the food is nice but Glasgow is full of alternatives.

Not value for money! I have been in many Turkish restaurant in UK this was rip-off very small portion hardly wear any meat on the plate for me and my wife we had ordered large platter which meant to be enough for two people hardly any donor only two small cube of lamb I couldn’t believe it I will never go back again if you’re drunk maybe it’s okay for you but you won’t be happy if you are sober. Believe it or not I bought another two portion kebabs from other takeaway. Also 4 chicken nuggets and few chips for kids £12 Rather had 20 chicken nugget from McDonald’s for just £4.29

My family and I have been here so many times. Having said that, there's no reason for me to tell you why. Great respectful atmosphere, great service, not bad for parking but above all, the food is amazing...everytime! Oh and the bread, oh my, you've never had bread like this in your life!

Fresh cooked food, high quality

Went this weekend. Totally rushed by staff. Lamb was so fatty. The food was bland and sadly the waiters were sweeping around us and spraying cleaner the whole time we were eating so close to our food: the staff literally took our plates from us when legally if we come in before closing time we have to finish our food, so all in all strongly recommend not going here at all. Not value for money either

The food and staff are exceptional 👌

The most expensive lunch I've ever had, but omg, it was delicious

What can I say. If you visit Glasgow then you must come here. The food was fantastic and then as I went to get the bill they bought over a complimentary dessert that was out of this world

Fantastic authentic Turkish food and plenty to choose from on the menu. We were given a complimentary ramekin of soup (which was cold) a basket of the loveliest bread and dips too. We ordered two main meals, two large beers and a bottle of wine. The food was really good and plenty of it. It was well presented. We enjoyed our beer and wine although drinks are very expensive. The issue we had was the server kept approaching our table. It became uncomfortable. We barely poured the beer from the bottle when she came and lifted the bottles, she realised my husbands bottle wasn’t empty so she had to set it back down. We then ordered another two beers. As we were nearing completion of our meal she must have approached us another four times. Once we finished our wine, but not the beer, we asked for the bill. We still had beer to drink but as soon as my husband had paid the bill (£95 for two of us) she said ‘we need this table’ She couldn’t even wait until we finished the last of our beer. It felt like we had paid so we can get out. I know they’re busy which is a good sign. The food is lovely but telling someone they need the table even before you’ve finished your drink after spending £100 including the tip is just wrong. She knew we were almost ready to go so shouldn’t have said that. Without the remark and the constant approaching our table it would easily have been a five star review. We will return next time we are in Glasgow centre and hopefully we can leave when we are ready to.

We visit this establishment time after time and never fails to disappoint Extraordinary food Amazing service with a smile - 1st class Friendly team 😊 Humble chef and owner 🙏🏼 Reasonably priced Highly recommend

Food was great but the prices were extremely high and the quantities small. We ordered the largest mixed grill which costed 96£ for 3 people and we barely got full. Baklava was the worst I've ever tried. It tasted like bread. Kounefe was decent. The service we received from the girls was great but the main guy was not friendly at all. We waited 25 minutes to order even though there were 3 tables at that time.

The food, atmosphere and service are amazing. The staff awaits you for a friendly and warm welcome. The food is great. Not only for Turkish cuisine, but also one of the best restaurants in Glasgow.

Interrupted when telling server we had table for three, pointed in direction of table. Sat down and looked through menu, left after 15 minutes without a single word being said to us by either of the two people serving a grand total of six tables. Certainly won’t rush back.

Very good quality food but felt it was too pricey. I understand you pay for what you get but it was quite pricey. The desserts where not authentic it was below average for desserts. The turkish tea was not nice. Neither is the baklava. I’ve a apartment in turkey over 10 years. The meat quality is nice but not worth the price tag. Also £7 for orange juice ? For a glass ? A glass bottle of juice is £4.25 which is ok for 2 people but not a large group or a party. Sorry you might not like the review but honesty is the best policy. Read all my reviews legit food reviews.

My son and I had lunch at this restaurant today. The whole experience was excellent. The staff were lovely, the food was amazing and we were given so many extras like a starter, dips and bread. My son says it’s his new favourite!

Beautiful place for dinner. Delicious foods and amazing service. Shoutout to our waiter Nikos! We will be back:) Jas and Breen

Fantastic experience food and service was excellent..thankyou

Such a lovely experience. Food was amazing.

Staff are very friendly. The starters and grills were delicious.

Absolutely amazing meal at Eda this evening, food is outstanding and the staff are friendly and helpful. We had a selection of Meze, 9 between the 4 of us and it was the perfect amount.

Giant kebab for two people. Of course, amazed!

We are Turkish people and we brought our Chinese family members to introduce our cuisine. This restaurant nailed it! The dishes were very close to original, which is way better than what we expected considering turkish ingredients would be hard to match. The only criticism we would make is that hummus was not good at all. Needed lemon and salt, tahini ratio was low too. Other than that, we were satisfied with the mixed grill and the vegetarian options too since we had a vegetarian in our party.

Everything was perfect until a waiter came and asked if he could take away my friend's dish, even though we hadn't finished...

My friend and I visited here in Nov 2023 and it was good. The staff were very nice, friendly and the vibe was chill. We had some starters and mains and we were given complimentary bread as well. Although we asked for more bread but there was no mention that it required pay but I didn’t mind. At the end we had a dessert on the house which was lovely. Great place in general.

This is a spot I go with my family on special occasions, I went a few days ago and I was shocked at the prices. It honestly feels like your getting robbed with the portion sizes. They have increased their prices dramatically whilst also making their portions smaller. The medium grill used to be for 2 people and now it says for one person? Everything on the menu is wayyy overpriced for what you get. It's a shame because the food is not too bad but safe to say I wont be coming here anymore. There are so many more places that are much better and worth the money.

The food is absolutely delicious. All dishes are typical and reflect the authentic Turkish flavour. The environment is welcoming and the employees are also very helpful and kind although my personal advice is not to ask too many times if everything is going well. The price is adequate for the quality of the products and the choice is very vast. I would go back and try something else even though we absolutely loved what we got. The decorations and the music in the room make the place truly original

It was late when we ate so a bit quiet. Food was freshly made and tasty.

I went to this restaurant so many times, the food is 10 stars, fresh and the customer service is outstanding, thanks a million for looking after us, who ever hasn't tried this restaurant please try it you won't be disappointed I promise you this. Alishah and kash

£85 Worst quality food ever was recommended this outfit and thought will be great Grill and Turkish Food. Went with my wife and son yesterday and the Grill was poor quality Luke warm and half of it was boiled meat and the other lamb main course was boiled lamb sauté total rubbish £7 for a glass of orange Juice daylight robbery yes I know it's expensive but the food was poor better options in Glasgow for under half this price. Starters were OK rest £84.20 down the drain with my wife raging Expected a proper grill this was nowhere near Turkish very poor quality and annoyed with £85 being wasted

Meat quality was soo poor.food was cold when its arrived. Waste of money.

Love this place staff very friendly , food was wet Would definitely recommend

I ordered a takeaway from Eda, whilst waiting I had a complimentary Turkish tea which was really nice. We got home and unpacked our takeaway, the attention to detail wasn't lost in the takeaway. We had the medium mixed grill, every mouthful absolutely delicious. Even the pre-packed salad was beautiful. Lamb chop, shish, chicken and donner meat in a bed of bulgar wheat to one side and fluffy rice on the other, with some chips sprinkled over the top. Two little pots of sauce on the side. Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely a jewel in Glasgows crown.

Delicious Turkish food. The portions are bigger than expected; the lentil soup of the day is an exceptionally good deal.

We found this restaurant on our hotel door step… Absolutely amazing tasty and plentiful food. Thumbs up all the way through. Excellent service too,

Arrived close to finish time but they were warm and welcoming. Service was great, food was all delicious. Will be back, thank you.

Se si vuole mangiare specialità turche, questo è il posto giusto, locale carino, servizio attento e cordiale, piatti con sapori speziati e gustosi. Da provare!!

Швидко принесли замовлення і досить недорого, раджу це місце!
