Elif in Liverpool

Great plates, very well cooked with a very cozy atmosphere

Awful staff made us feel unwelcome got kicked out for no reason

I would recommend this just for the lunch time menu alone v good value we try to get there once a month. Just to walk along Lark lane

Went for a last minute meal. We were not booked. Food was excellent service a little slow but they were very busy. Good job well done

Beautiful food and friendly staff.

Belter food with a nice welcoming atmosphere

Been to Elif a few times over the years, always had a great experience. Staff great, polite and attentive, menu is varied, the food always fresh and tasty. This place is very popular so it's best to book in advance, especially at the weekend. We'll be back soon.

Amazing food I would highly recommend great service

This is a really great restaurant food amazing service excellent never eaten food so good 👍

¡Una verdadera joya! La comida es muy sabrosa y auténtica. Ofrecen los clásicos de la cocina turca con un toque moderno. Definitivamente deberías probar los mezes y kebabs. Tanto la calidad de la comida como el tamaño de la porción son absolutamente satisfactorios. Muy recomendable para una gran experiencia gastronómica! "

One of my favourite and go-to dining places in Liverpool. Elif never fails (for me). Meats are so flavourful, absolutely delicious especially eaten with their butter rice — so good. Always a satisfying visit. Whenever I have visitors to Liverpool I would take them there and my visitors are always impressed. They love it so much.

The best turkish restaurant Ive been..like for real!!!! Their kebabs is a must.. lamb chops were sooooo heaven.. chef kiss million times!!!👌🏻 Their salad starter was paradise!!!

We've never been to Elif before and I can highly recommend it. The service was exceptional as was the food. We will definitely be visiting again.

14,95 two courses meal absolute no brainer. Great stuff

Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Went with a few mates and got Karisik for 3 people.. Loved it and will definitely go back 💯

Always incredible food. Food is always perfect and really consistent with great service. Highly recommend.

Aquí con un amigo para el almuerzo del domingo después de un agradable paseo por Sevvy Park. He estado antes, no por algún tiempo, pero fue mi primera visita de amigos. Casualmente, llegamos justo después de la hora de apertura, y el lugar estaba vacío... Dicho esto, recomendaría reservar ya que dentro de unos 20 minutos de estar sentados, el lugar estaba lleno. Tienen un gran menú a la hora del almuerzo, un montón de opciones, y solo £ 14. 95 por 2 platos. Fui por la salchicha turca para empezar, servida con ensalada de hojas frescas, y pan. También hay chapuzones de acompañamiento, y un plato de verduras ligeramente encurtidas traído a la mesa, para compartir. Para la comida principal, tuve el cordero kofta, con una salsa de tomate picante, arroz y ensalada. La verdura encurtida fue particularmente bien con esto. Teniendo un diente dulce, no podía dejarlo allí, así que opté por baklava para mi postre, y un café turco (fuerte). El baklava vino con ambos batidos, y helado. La comida era deliciosa y el servicio era excelente. No estoy seguro de por qué me había dejado tanto tiempo para volver, y mi amiga dijo que definitivamente volvería. En general, un almuerzo encantador, y no tendría ningún reparo en recomendar este lugar a nadie.

Been here a few times, as I really enjoy the food they do. The aroma hits you before you get to see the meal. The lunchtime 2 course offer is well worth investing in.

He estado en Elif tanto aquí en Lark Lane como en Bold Street numerosas veces y siempre he estado muy contento con la comida y el servicio, tristemente no puedo decir que sobre la visita de hoy, nunca había visto una comida tan mal presentada, mucho pollo, arroz soso y medio tomate pequeño, patatas fritas eran extra

Gran servicio y excelente comida. El salmón era delicioso y el servicio era muy eficiente. Una recomendación definitiva ya sea cenando solo o con otros

Lleva años viniendo pero la comida ha cambiado -el pan es como el pan estándar- nada del sabor a carbón que solía tener. La moussaka de verduras era muy sosa y las patatas grises y muschosas. El pollo berenjena - berenjena estaba empapado y tibio. Decepcionante.

Another visit to Elif, and yet again superb service with a smile, yummy food (and plenty of it) all at a great price. Highly recommended.

WoW! Come hungry! Have the meat platter. You will be happy!

Productos de calidad simple bien cocinados. Tuve kebab de cordero, mi esposa tuvo kebab de pollo. El servicio era razonable. El equipo resultó bien. Cocina limpia y ordenada. Volveremos.

12 of us booked for a party, the staff where amazing, from the waitress that made us an item off the menu from 2 years ago to the guy (I think the manager) that sang and danced party birthday at the table. Amazing place

The most delicious food we’ve had in a long time. 10 out of 10 👌

We loved our first visit Staff friendly and polite Nice chilled atmosphere Clean tables and space Food choices good we ate from lunch menu served till 6pm Very tasty extra touches hot bread dips The meals where delicious served with rice salads Definitely recommend definitely visit again Prices are very reasonable for tasty delicious food

Food, service, value for money first class. Starter of meat balls and kebab main course were tasty and full of chargrill flavour. Would recommend and will return

The food here is outstanding. Very friendly atmosphere and great for family meals. Book in advance as it gets quite busy.

The food is very good, good service from the staff. Always reserve in advance. I give the staff 5 stars for their hospitality and professionalism. Also very delicious food and everything very clean.

We had a great selection of starters to kick off the meal. The Veggie kebab really hot the spot! and the service was welcoming and friendly

We ordered the meat plate for two, and the portions were generous—definitely a plus! The prices were reasonable, making it great value for the quality and quantity of food. I really liked the food and will definitely come back again. However, the service could use some improvement. While some of the staff were very attentive, others seemed less engaged. I hope they can find a better balance, as it would really enhance the overall experience.

Friendly, fully professional service, clean, excellent affordable food. A brilliant evening. Can’t wait to go again!

Very pleasant lunch in relaxed surroundings

All round great place to visit. Portion sizes were massive. Everything really tasty. Went before 6pm, so the starters were free!

It was really nice but the service was abit slow but they where really nice people and the food was lovely 😍

Excellent, the food is very good and the staff are great Thank you very much

Usually love this place. Not been in a while until today and the food wasn’t good ☹️ quite bland and rice was better before

Fab food, great service and very good prices!

Great food. Meat is really tender & cocktails are awesome. Been a couple of times & it does not disappoint. Big portions.

Staff very attentive as always. Gets really busy so we book. Food is locwly and portions are huge!

had lunch with a friend. two courses very reasonably priced. food good and staff good too worth a visit good restraunt enjoy

Extremely delicious food. Big portions. Better to book in advance

Bit utilitarian bience but outstanding food at a good menu price.

Great place to eat and good food

Me and my family have been coming here since it opened and I can honestly say we have never had a bad meal . The staff are exceptional they are more than friendly and accommodating . The food is fantastic .

Love Elif! My partner and I tend to have lunch there at least once a month.

What a gem of a restaurant!! Lovely atmosphere, the staff could not be more helpful or polite and the food is outstanding! We particularly love the mixed meat platter for 4.. delicious! Our new favourite spot- thank you!

Nice atmosphere, good food, decent prices.

I’ve been refused coffee and dessert. I was told to order main meal first. Apparently coffee with dessert don’t get served without main meal.

Elif never disappoints been going for years and years

Friendly staff very clean I got the salmon it was beautiful deffo going back.

Staff were amazing and the food was fantastic 100% recommend!

Went for the 1st time today with Daughter & BF, he's been before, so recommended at order the sharing platter for 3, the food was fab, really well seasoned, there was plenty of food, even the rice was lovely, well cooked, the service was great too. Before and after photos posted below! 😂

Food absolutely fantastic and good value for money.Service was polite, friendly and efficient. Not for people with a tiny appetite

Great food and friendly staff. Their lunch deal is great!!

I didn’t regret going to Elif restaurant. It is good to take your family and eat Halal food there. Anyone wants to enjoy a tasty, soft and delicious grill, just eat there. It is little bit more expensive than the other Halal food in Liverpool I know but it is really worth it because they add extra grill meat and chicken on the dish.

Amazing food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Extensive menu. Good place for families with children. Especially afternoon/early evening. Will definitely go back.

Lovely meal and very reasonable

I highly recommend this restaurant. Murat, who served me, was very friendly and welcoming. I was also very happy to have the gluten-free bread option alongside the sucuk. The food was very tasty and affordable. Teşekkür ederim!

Food was on point as always, the staff where very helpful, nothing was too much for them. 5 stars isn’t enough. We even got a couple of pieces of cake for our children on the house as it was too late by the time desert came around. All in all an amazing evening topped Off by the singing of happy birthday by the staff. 10/10

Our table of 3 people ordered chips, to which we were told that they would not be able to serve us if we did not order the main course first. OK, an extra £20, we ordered one, but the waiter said he wasn't sure we could order only one main course, maybe we needed a few, but of course he would check with the manager now! Turkish tea was not real Turkish tea, it looked more like it was brewed a second time.. Disappointed. For the sake of fairness, it should be said that the lamb was perfectly roasted. But never again after such greed, too many impressions for one meal!

Great and high quality food. Do not forget to book beforehand, especially at the weekends.

Great restaurant. Prefer the one on bold street but food excellent in both

I had a very bad experience here , I went with my husband and my kids , we ordered the family mix grill for 4 persons ,the food didn’t meet my expectations, the quantity was way too small for 4 persons , first I thought they served us the wrong order so I asked the waiter if this one for 3 or 4 persons, he said it’s for 4. A waste of £ 71.00 .very disappointing dish , overpriced.

We had the early bird menu, starter and main £14.95. The food was simple but executed perfectly. The portions are generous; I have a healthy appetite and could not quite finish. The place was packed by 6pm which is an indication of it's popularity. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent great service 👏 👍 👌 lovely food great atmosphere 😀 👍 👌

Beautiful food, great service and a great atmosphere. Love the place. Great prices for some of the best food in the area. Lunchtime specials!!! The Salmon is out of this world.

Hands down the best restaurant in Liverpool! The food is so so tasty and the people are super lovely. Really recommend the hummus and the kuzu sis

Food was delicious, service was really good , price was fine considering the quality of the food I was happy to pay for it. I would recommend making a reservation to be on the safe side as it seems popular

Great food, good service ,reasonable prices

It's always really tasty ,freshly cooked food. Lovely service and atmosphere. Well done, guys.

Beautiful meal, 2 courses for £15. We had aubergine dip and feta salad, lamb shank and lamb kebab. Outstanding.

Both take away service and restaurant excellent!!! A must try

Absolutely amazing food, could not fault anything

Fabulous christmas day lunch at Elif with large family. Food and service as always was so good even though so busy. Can't thank staff enough for all their hard work. Would definately recommend any time of year.

L'un des meilleurs restaurants Turc que j'ai pu faire

Delicious, authentic food, great service

Great tasting food and amazing service. The food was very delicious.

Perfect every single time! Genuinely never had a bad meal here. Such lovely staff and the food is just perfect 👌. Great for veggies and child friendly.

Called in while visiting Liverpool, the waitresses were lovely and friendly. The place was bustling with people and the food was incredible. Well worth a visit.

I wasn’t able to get a booking in the Bond Street branch but thought we would give this a try. It was nowhere near as crammed or busy as Bond Street and was more brightly lit, I appreciated this. I also noticed the menu prices were cheaper than Bond Street and there’s no mandatory service charge. Service was fine also. Unfortunately the food didn’t meet my expectations. The mixed grill portion here is very small. We ordered a mixed grill for 4 people and this seemed the same size as a mixed grill for even 2 people in Bond Street. It came with ONE skewer of kebab to be shared amongst 4 people, this seems excessively miserly and not okay. The taste was also a bit bland and not seasoned as much as I expected. The food quality was fine and better than Turkish restaurants in Manchester but is not comparable to the Bond Street branch and I was still hungry after we had finished! Can’t recommend this place at all unfortunately considering what else is in Liverpool

Great service very tasty food call and book a head as it's very busy that says it all for me 👌

Had the 2 course offer today £14.95, 😋 👍🤤went with a group of 12, booked short notice. Food was lovely and it came really quick. Everyone enjoyed it. Service staff very friendly.

The best Turkish restaurant I have visited. Food plentiful and delicious.

Absolutely top notch lunch again ! From the starters to the salad and bread and main meal everything was absolutely delicious This is my third review of this place (I don’t normally do 3 for one place!!) Definitely the best value lunch in Liverpool

Excellent service, great staff. Food was excellent

Good meals, Friendly Staff, Good Beer as well.

Wow. Beautiful food and atmosphere

My favourite restaurant of all times.. keep it up guys 👦 👏 💪 👌

La comida a sido exquisita pero la lubina al carbon increible. El trato, el servicio y el local explendidos. Hay que volver y pronto. Una experiencia nueva para mi en Liverpool. Buen trabajo equipo.

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful cuisine, really enjoyed ty.

Always get the mixed grill platter here

Went with Fleur, lovely scran and vibe

The food is so delicious but customer service absolutely sucks.

used to like it but am now boycotting it after its sister branch in Bold St doesn't allow solo diners. Greed at its finest. Cram as many tables in as possible and don't even allow prams or wheelchairs. This is definitely not Turkish hospitality as they are family oriented people. This is pure greed. Also the male staff stare uncomfortably at females.

Masses of food...all of it delicious! Friendly service and a great atmosphere. Enjoyed and will go again!

If I could give more star ratings inbound first time here today wow amazing Me and Mt girlfriend opt for the early bird menu 2 course for £15 and wow amazing food was amazing and it's the friendliest restaurant I been in a while u felt relaxed and enjoyed to chit chats u wasn't felt like u had to hurry up and eat food was quick but the quality was amazing im deffo coming again and thank you to all staff they do amazing job friendly and always smiling

Food and service was amazing. I ordered a kebab with hummus as starter they do a two course deal for around £12 so definitely great value for money.
