Eda Restaurant in Glasgow City

First time eating at Eda, fantastic food and such generous portions. Mert our server was superb.

We came once, but it tastes great. Also, do you have your e-mail address?

Fantastic find. For a once a year visit for a gig we will make this a yearly tradition now. 👍

Wow was so good. First time eating Turkish food and it was great. We shared a medium mixed meat plate with extra bread. So good and walked away so full. Highly recommend

Great food, large portions and a nice chilled out vibe - never rushed. Will definitely be back.

Amazing delicious food,cheap and large portions

We had booked a table for 8 but there were only 5 of us. The restaurant was very quiet. The service was quite bad, we had to call the waiter’s attention for every single thing and he didn’t seem to know the menu well. We asked for the food to come out as soon as it’s ready as we were in a rush but 40minutes after ordering we were still waiting for mains. The waiter did not check to make sure everything is ok with the food and he did not clear the starters even though we had finished them long before the mains arrived The food was also lacking flavour. We have been before and enjoyed it but today was disastrous on all sides

I am really sorry to write that but I won’t go anymore at this restaurant. The food and everything is very good but the prices now are really high. They charge 8/9£ for a sauce tzaziki and the mix grill for two persons it is 57£ now . Before was 37 roughly. It was my favourite restaurant but the prices are ridiculous.

Great staff. Fantastic food at a reasonable price

Went last night for my husbands birthday dinner. Was super excited to try out this place. Unfortunately they closed early due to some technical issue and we had to leave. Totally ruined the night for us

Most attentive staff, amazing food, large portions with the best prices you could find in the UK.

"The kebab was really delicious, and the Barbari bread had an incredible taste as well. However, I found the prices a bit high, especially for the side dishes. Overall, a tasty experience, but could be better with more reasonable pricing!"

Just had lunch, we would highly recommend it if in Glasgow. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

A place worth trying. The appetizers are amazing, the grills are very good, the bread is the most wonderful, the workers are excellent, the reception is very excellent, and the service is wonderful

Decide probar este restaurante en Glasgow Cross, fiesta de 3 para la cena. Bonito restaurante grande con un montón de opciones de mesa y un menú variado. Encontré los precios bastante altos para lo que era comida promedio. Mi plato principal estaba sobredescrito, pero era básicamente carne de kebab en una salsa y casi £ 20 así que me sentí sobrevalorado por lo que era

This has to be my favourite restaurant in Glasgow as I totally love the food, the ambience and the wonderful service from friendly staff. When I take friends the staff are always happy to explain what everything consists of. I must warn you though that you NEVER leave feeling hungry.

Outstanding staff and service, highly recommended

Fantastic! Had a meal here recently to celebrate my birthday with a friend. Staff were very attentive but not intrusive. We were very well looked after & were given additional starters & dessert for free which was very kind & much appreciated. The mixed meze is a great selection & really tasty. The food was delicious & filling - we were absolutely stuffed! Would highly recommend.

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.

Después de haber esperado lo que pensé que era bastante tiempo, ya que supongo que el restaurante estaba super ocupado un sábado por la noche. Me llevaron a una mesa y me preguntaron qué quería pedir. A primera vista, pensé que los precios de los alimentos eran altos, pero cuando vi la porción, entendí por qué. El pan caliente era delicioso y las salsas proporcionadas eran sabrosas. El plato principal de cordero se cocinó bien y la salsa quitó la sequedad. Al salir el gerente hizo una nota de agradecimiento y adiós que me pareció un gesto muy raro y amistoso.

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 🥰🥰🥰

Servicio amable, higiénico y de buen gusto. Cocina turca real. Gracias al chef y a todo el personal. Especialmente a la Sra. Selin por su amable y sonriente comunicación. Lugar muy recomendable👌

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 🫶

El servicio fue excelente el personal amable y servicial la comida fue morir por costillas de cordero y chuletas de cordero hermoso hummus fue excelente tuvimos una mezcla del menú del almuerzo y el al a carte precio muy razonable

Vine aquí para un almuerzo de aniversario y no fue decepcionado. La comida era deliciosa. La meza y el pan estaban tan sabrosos que podría haber comido eso, mi compañero tenía el filete que era masivo junto con todos los lados, que apenas podía terminarlo! Mi plato de cordero estaba caliente y tan sabroso. Nos dieron un contralavado de cortesía que si no estuviera tan lleno habría disfrutado inmensamente. El servicio fue impecable. Volverá Defo. Gracias por una experiencia tan encantadora.

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

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.

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!

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 ❤️

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

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

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!

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

Fresh cooked food, high quality

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.

Such a lovely experience. Food was amazing.

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

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.
