Ezo Turkish Restaurant in Bristol, City of

Came here for lunch. Food very tasty and not expensive. Service was a bit slow, could be a bit more attentive . Would happily go back.

It was the worst experience in a restaurant ever. Went there with 5 other friends expecting a full Turkish breakfast as a deal. but They were very cheeky in pricing the breakfast, which didn't include main fried eggs nor Turkish tea and had to order them separately. Not only that, but they gave very small pieces of bread which wasn't enough to finish the breakfast, so we asked for more, they added bread charge on the breakfast and instead of paying £7.90 each for breakfast deal we paid £15.50 each.

What a great place to have Turkish food. Great servise and pleasant atmosphere. Great selection of food and desserts.

It was our first time coming here although I live locally and had never been before! So glad we did. We had a couple of mezze dishes which came quickly and were delicious! The ezme tomato salsa was so different and fresh tasting. Just what we needed. The panini's were also great and very good value for money. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu, which has loads of vegetarian and vegan options. Staff were friendly and super helpful, thanks very much for a lovely lunch :)

This restaurant has to be the worst we have ever visited. We wanted authentic Turkish food, particularly shish kebabs cooked on an open fire grill. Forget it! - this restaurant does not have any such grill. The portions are tiny, the flavours not authentic and the meat incredibly full of gristle and fat. The seating and the floors were absolutely filthy. We paid £16 for two cocktails and could not taste any alcohol in either. The wine list is pathetic just house white, red, rose and then a Shiraz. When I asked what the house wine was it was the same Shiraz - so on the menu for two different prices but the same bottle. When it arrived it was Hardy's Shiraz - cheap supermarket rubbish. The starter of Calamari was a cheap catering frozen weird substitute - not real calamari rings but mushed up pulp in a batter ring. We complained to the waitress who really didn't care if we ate it or not and after sending it back 90% left we were charged the full amount. This place really is a take on and I want to warn anyone looking for a Turkish meal to avoid it at all cost. We spent £70 and then went on to another restaurant to get a proper meal we could eat. I would honestly say this is the worst restaurant I have been in for many many years. There are some good reviews but I would be really cautious if these are genuine because EVERY aspect of our experience, ambience, service, staff, management (or lack of), food, drink, hygiene were at best absolutely appalling. Surprising to say we were the only diners. Save your money and go elsewhere - anywhere!!!

Amazing place with good peaceful authentic setting. Great food with authentic teas. Nice relaxing outdoor terrace seating area. Perfect with my family.

Really delicious and very reasonably priced lunch, the waitress was so friendly and explained some of the dishes for us. Look forward to returning to try the Meze

What a surprise very friendly helped guys Proper Turkish tea Follow with a fantastic pipe Very fresh made to order food Try the Ezo grill Lamb shish chicken wings chicken shish lamb kofte served with rice Amazing

Muy molesto por el servicio que prestaron. Llegué con mi familia antes de otros 3 clientes y ordené antes que ellos, pero su shisha se sirvió en 5 minutos y la nuestra se sirvió después de esperar 30 minutos. Cuando planteamos este problema al personal, dijeron que los otros clientes habían venido antes, pero eso no era cierto. Luego vi al chico con el pelo afro corto ir detrás del mostrador y quejarse de nosotros al jefe. Me hizo sentir muy incómodo mientras señalaba nuestra mesa.

The owners don't give their waiters tips and treat them really bad. Also used to pay cash in hand (maybe still do, I don't know) with no social security.

Just had an apple tea but it was nice to sit there on a dreary day and was redolent of Turkey. Nicely decorated and lovely staff.

I had dinner today after almost one year since my last visit and it`s still delicious and cheap, exactly as I remembered. To help his bussines, the owner transformed the little restaurant into a take away but it still has class and fresh food, tables outside where you can enjoy your meal or have a drink while waiting to be prepared. I totally recommend eating or ordering food there, 5 stars.

Well, this is just an average Turkish joint but the food is much better than average. This was my once-a-week vegetarian day so I had five veggie mezze - humus, ezme, grilled halloumi, falafel and borek - plus free pitta bread but no water. All very tasty. That plus a glass of red came to £13.65 plus tip. I'll be back.

The food we had was tasty and fairly priced and the front of house staff were friendly... however, service was rather slow, not all menu options were available, and they don't accept card payment. We only found out that it was cash only at the end, there was no sign to let customers aware and even though they had a cash machine in there we were told it didn't work so I had to go out in the rain to a cash point 100 meters away! I wouldn't recommend anyone go there unless they sort themselves out!

2nd time we have been here now, very nice food that is cooked well with all the right flavourings - worth checking out if you haven't had this sort of Mediterranean food before. Is worth going for lunch or dinner just to try out, less so for a special occasion. P.s. Would recommend the Bream, was excellent!

I enjoyed the squid rings and the hummus with salad. Borek (little feta pies) pretty good. Staff not amazingly friendly.

Cheap n cheerful....had we not read previous trip advisor reports we would have carried on walking...so glad we stopped.. Food was very acceptable...service was good....I think the waitress was just a little shy.. Could have easily been perceived as indifference ..not the case...it is a BYO restuarant and they did not charge corkage for wine or beer..Sainsbury is a short walk down the hill.. Recommend ...

Me encantó la comida. Estaba fresco y sabroso, y había un montón de verduras, lo que es una cosa rara hoy en día. La señora que nos sirvió fue muy amable. Lugar estaba súper limpio y puede traer su propia botella de vino. Cocina abierta, así que nada que esconder y vegetales frescos están en exhibición.

Yo tenía un campo muy agradable principal de cordero sobre una cama de berenjena ahumada (no recuerdo el nombre del plato pero muy bonito!). Nos pareció que el hombre que nos sirvió para ser atractiva aunque, sin sonrisas, parecía de mal humor a tomar órdenes, etc. Una lástima, ya estábamos listos para disfrutar de una comida agradable y nos hizo duda entorno pie dentro.. creo que puede ser una cosa cultural allí aunque, o tal vez él simplemente tenía una mala noche. Nuestra entrada de hummus era servida con Pan ligeramente pasados, así que temíamos el plato, como pensando que también podría ser decepcionante, pero, fue simplemente asombroso, gran sabores y texturas, tamaños buena parte. Esta compuesto por la falta de vibraciones amable y el contratiempo pan completamente :) En general algunos para mejorar pero gran cocina!!

We love Turkish food and have spent a fair bit of time in Turkey and the middle east. Unfortunately the food here is poor, the portions are small and the service is gruff. The only real positive is the decor! Disappointing.

We were the only 2 customers but the waitress was conspicuous by her absence, she took our order, delivered the food and that was that. We ordered the meal for 2. starter of mixed hot and cold mezze, which was ok but waitress did not explain any of the dishes, same for the main platter and dessert.

If you are after a quick bite of authentic Turkish food on Gloucester road, then you should give this place go. The dishes were all pretty good (grilled halloumi, whitebait, spicy sausage-not the best-and humus with a couple of meat dishes) served in good time and was of high quality and a good price. The dish that deserves a mention was the aubergine and beef dish which was delicious. Don't forget to BYO beer or wine too.

Chicken wrap was delicious, much better than the chicken doner I have eaten in various establishments in Green Lanes, London or the Mangals in London. Sadly my daughter had the falafel wrap and that was not so good, very heavy and I feel if they made their falafels as fresh and tasty as their competitor (Eat a Pita), they could be the number 1 place to eat in Gloucester Road

Firstly their web site is misleading and needs to be updated to reflect what is currently being served e.g. they have a wine list but is in fact BYO. As for the food - dissappointing although admittedly I did only try 2 of the mezzes. One was the spinach and feta borek, which seemed more like a supermarket rendition than a genuine Turkish one. The pastry was far from the paper thin crispness that I remember from trips to Turkey or which I have had in other restaurants. .Served with the 2 mezzes was some complimentary bread - would have benefited from being served warm.

I had a great time at Ezo alongside two of my friends who joined me. We were pleased with the customer service as the waitress was very friendly. The chef done a good job providing us with a delicious meal. I recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely revisit.

As a Turkish I went there to eat some nice Turkish food that I m used to. I ordered 5 cold meze , borek and iskender. We paid £40. First of all they are not accepting cards. The waitress didn't bring napkin cause I already used mine. When I asked him if meze is fresh he answered me in a rude and angry way. I didn't go there to take a life lesson. And the food was extremely bad that we just left it. They didn't even ask if there is something wrong. They didn't care that we didn't even touch the main dish. And it was way too bad version of original iskender that you can eat in Turkey. At the end I was disappointed with the food , I had to pay £40 and to pay it I had to walk to atm since they don't even have card machine. Awful!

i been there one friday night with me frends for a dinner.the food it was very tasty and very nice.we have eat startars what was amazing the cold mix is the best because u can taste 5 cold turkish startars.for main we eat the incik,ali nazi lamb and the ezo mix.the atmosfer was nice (we like the turkish music) and the service nice and very quik.we definitely come back hir for have again a nice night

This restaurant was terrible. The customer service was very poor. I went on a Friday night and there was only one waitress and one chef. There is a huge lack of staff and the food is terrible. Portions are tiny and the price is over ratted. I really do not recommend this place at all, you would be better off going to Lona which is further along the road, get double the portion of food at a cheaper price. Really disappointed with the customer service, food and price. Will definitely not be visiting again.

This was our first time getting a takeaway from Ezo since their refit. Most things we had were tasty, but the portions were somewhat stingy. The bread was dry and cold and the rest of the food was tepid. The Lamb Guvech was a tasty casserole which apparently comes with rice, but we weren't given any. It would have been nicer if we had the rice, and had it been hot. The Ezo Charcoal Grill was similarly priced at £11 and again, was tasty but stingy. We also shared a portion of Yogurtly Patlican which was £3.95 and a portion of bread (which came free with one of the other items). The Yogurtly Patlican is aubergines in yoghurt and was very nice. The bread was really poor though. The shobiyet (filo pastry in syrup) was £3.80 and perfectly pleasant. At £29 the meal really didn't feel good value, and we won't go there again. Lona is a bit further up Gloucester Road and is much better value.

I`ve been to this restaurant at least once a month in the past 2 years and it`s great every time.Excellent food and impecable staff, convenable prices and diy meals as well.They even let you bring your own drinks :)Clean and nicely refurbished recently, it brings fresh air to the Bristol`s scene.

Visited x2 over the Summer. Evening and a lunchtimeEvening was busy. Thoughtful, helpful staff. Food extremely tasty and authentic.There is a feeling of actually being in Turkey inside the restaurant. We had a variety of dishes which we all shared. Lamb, Chicken etc Hummus, charcoal veg etc. I would say that the portions should be more generous for the price. But generally we enjoyed the experience. BYO alcohol operates here. Also went with my wife at lunchtime. Good food deals, 2 for 1 operate at this time. We had a set of tasty starters then skewered Chicken. All the foods were excellent. I recommend the homemade lemonade.We will certainly be visiting again

Went here with my girlfriend on a Friday night for dinner. Restaurant is BYO which was good. Had a mixed meze to start which was the meal highlight. For main was mixed grill, only thing that let it down was portion size for the price.Overall great service and tasty food.

Been to eat here many times, never had a duff mealIts now bring your own as they got fed up with the licencing rules apparently - makes a difference on the bill!Can be quiet sometimes, but that can be the case in any restaurant, When busy we have never had to wait very longAnd now refurbished with new loos upstairs

My parents recommended Ezo to my partner and I. We were welcomed by pleasant staff who were quick to take our drinks order. I had the lamb kebab and my partner had the lamb chops, I can honestly say I've never had lamb cooked all the way through that was still juicy and tasty! It was all very reasonably priced and delicious. It was nice to go out and have a healthy meal for a change! We will definitely visit again.

Excellent in every way. I am a lactose intolerant coeliac and I can say they catered for me very well last weekend when I had lunch with a friend. We sat on the terrace and watched the word go by drinking our own wine (byo) and had 5 mezze and 2 main meals from their lunch menu and all was excellent ad extremely good value. Like I said, Excellet in every way.

Hadn't read any of the reviews when we booked this (makes a change for us) and were very pleased with our meal, the food was very aromatic, freshly cooked and delicious; with starters, mains and puds for five worked out about £17 / head, well worth it. Service was fast and efficient and you bring your own booze which is a bonus - all in all a very good experience

We enjoyed a tasty set meal here with a starter of mezzes including cold and hot specialities. Our second course was barbecued meats with rice and followed by baclava. I'd recommend the home made lemonade. Overall good quality tasty food, although a little on the heavy side. I think the mezzes were probably the best.

Had a lovely evening with various delights, great mezze, and better main courses plus the various honey/filo/pistachio based puddings. They are in cahoots with Bristanbul that has to be a good thing. I love it there and the lager is great

This was our first experience at Ezo, and it will definitely be our last. We decided to go there on an early Friday evening. Despite being the only customers the service was slow. Portions were small and on asking if my meal could be heated up as it was barely warm it came back...still only "warm". I didn't bother asking if it could be heated up again! Certainly not good value for money as portions were small and lacked flavour.

We visited this restuarant early on a Saturday Evening, myself , husband and son. We were surprised to see that we were the only customers, but this didn't put us off. The decor is lovely and you can watch as your food is cooked. I would stress it is bring your own alcohol if that is want you want although it doesn't state this on the website. The starters we had were lovely - spicy sausage, spicy sausage and humus and what looked like samosas, but they were filled with feta and spinach. For the main course myself and son had charcoaled meat which again was delicious and my husband had spicy lamb in bread which he also enjoyed.We had a try at a couple of the deserts which were also yummy. I would say the protions aren't huge, but I prefer that as I didn't feel stuffed after having 3 courses, but everything was delicious.There is a section where you can sit outside if it is warm which is nice.The service was good and I couldn't fault the experience, I would definitely return. They also do a take away service.The only fault I could find was that the bread was pitta bread rather than flat bread which I would have prefered.

Wasn't brilliant or good value for money. Portions are very small, lacked authentic turkish flavour

This turkish restaurant needs a health and hygiene check immediately. I don't know where to start food awful smelly toilets sink blocked service none there were no other customers no wonder why. If you visit this place you will see for yourself that words can't express how bad it was! Waste of money and unpleasant experience it was for our family outing.

This little place is a gem, found it whilst walking along Gloucester road. The special offer of 5 meze dishes for £10 drew us in. A wide selection of dishes to choose from and the dip choices come with a basket of bread. Lovely selection for a light lunch and very tasty too. Quick service by a friendly waitress. Highly recommend this restaurant based on our visit. Will be going back!

The restaurant looked lovely, tastefully decorated and very traditional, however that's where the positive ends unfortunately. Two of the meals were very disappointing, very over priced and bland. We were offered an alternative but were then charged for both meals! The second meal had a dead insect on the plate and the manager sent a waitress to deal with our concerns. We asked to speak to him and he blatantly refused to take on board what we said. He was downright rude and there was no apology. The young waitress was lovely and very helpful but we certainly won't be going back there or recommending it to anyone else

Ezo is a nice little restaurant on Gloucester Road in Bristol. The food here is always excellent they cook the meat to perfection. Friendly efficient service means you are not waiting too long. It so one of our favourites.

Hi my wife and i went shopping on Gloucester Rd. We came across this place and decided to try it. It is nicely decorated and the seating was comfortable. We were served straight away with drinks. The menu had a good selection of mezze (5 dishes for £9.95). We didn't wait long for our food which was plated nicely and was very fresh and tasty. A good find which we will be using agian

The food in the restaurant was very good, however the wine was off and it took a long time to get a replacement. The wine was not opened at the table, and we were not allowed to try it. The service was somewhat slow, and the staff were very inflexible.

turkish food is wonderful in turkey & they bring bread & mezes to table prompto when one arrives. here we were almost an hour before we got any food.. get your service better Ezo's & you'll have an easier time, not a good evening out..

Went here for a birthday meal (on a Thursday) evening. Was pretty quiet but got a little more lively as the evening went on. Started with the meze which was covered the usual Turkish starters and was well presented. Was a little disappointed with the oven baked sausage we ordered; I was expecting thick slices of something hearty and spicy but I'm pretty sure what we got was bog-standard catering pepperoni you'd see on a cheap pizza. Main courses were mixed grill and Iskender - both very good. Service was good, but functional. Chef welcomed us as we came in (which was a good start). Waitress was efficient but didn't really engage, and a smile wouldn't have gone amiss.Over all a nice enough meal and I'd be happy to go back, but not rushing to get there.

The food was excellent and well presented. Unfortunately, we were left to wait for 30 minutes after finishing our dinner without being offered more drinks, or the bill. When I raised this with the manager his response was 'I don't care we have lots of customers anyway.' Definitely one to avoid.

Been twice now in 2 months - once as a couple and once as a family celebration. Both times the staff have been really nice and the atmosphere is great! The food was lovely, especially the hummus - we ate far to much of it. Went for the mixed grill for main, the meat was tender and delicious. We will defiantly be going again - got to be honest - I won't be getting the house wine again though!

Very good food with a lot of taste. The dipping sauces are great. The only thing is there is not a huge amount of variety. But very good for a lunch or dinner!

I've been to a few turkish restaurants around the country. The actual BBQ food was nice, but not very much of it. The calamari was disappointing and chewy and the salad had seen better days. Maybe as I'm comparing this to marmaris BBQ in Northampton and to Lavas BBQ in cheshunt as these were exceptionally good. I must say the service was friendly even though it did take 40 minutes for the main to come out. This maybe due to it being week night to be fair. I would probably give it a second chance though!

we went on a Saturday night very busy, very friendly staff they certainty have maximised the space , service with a smile had mixed cold Meze for starter which was good well presented, I had a mixed meat main and my wife had Koffi all very nice Turkish mixed sweet for afters yummywas a bit noisy certainly not a place for a romantic evening but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will go again

We went there on a Saturday night for dinner. Cosy, little place. Food was excellent. I would recommend it and I would go back again. Only bad experience was that it was very busy and the service was really slow. nevertheless we enjoyed.

Visited for lunch with friends, a friendly welcome was recieved on entry. The service was very good with an efficient attentive waitress who timed the table visits very well.The food was well presented with sufficient helpings. Not having been to a Turkish restaurant before I was really pleased with what was on offer. I would return to this restaurant without question.

The food here was SO nice. Particularly nice veggie food. The decor was lovely but the atmosphere was lacking a bit because we were the only people in there. It was a wet Monday lunchtime so not surprising perhaps. Great food though, I'd definitely go again.

I took a couple of chums to Ezo's for a mid-week evening meal having searched for somewhere that would cater imaginatively for a carnivore, someone who won't eat anything that had a face and someone who occasionally gets hummus cravings (me). My veggie friend and I opted for the cold mixed meze platter for starters and other friend had a chicken halep. Everything was beautifully prepared, fresh and flavourful and we found that the meze was generous enough for a main course along with the lovely fresh flat-bread that came with it although other people with bigger appetites seemed capable of packing in a second course too. We were made very welcome and served attentively and the bill came to just under £40 which included plenty of sparkling water and a large glass of wine between us. I will be back to try some of the meat options from a very inviting menu which includes BBQ and oven dishes - if what little we had is any indication I'm sure it won't disappoint.

Went in for lunch on a Monday on a bit of a whim! Great deal had 5 meze dishes for £10, so we shared 10 dishes between the 2 of us which was perfect for a hearty late lunch. Highlights were the stuffed vine leaves, the Turkish sausage and the falafel. Service was friendly and we had lovely authentic Turkish coffee to finish. Go and try it - you won't be disappointed.

Just walk past and smell the grill and you'll be hooked. I love Turkish food and its difficult to reproduce at home unlike other types of 'world food'!

Visited this restaurant twice. Absolutely amazing food. Small restaurant but very friendly and exceptional service. Prices good. Would recommend this restaurant for a good meal.

We visited as a small family group of 4 on a Monday night so it was quiet, but we were all very pleased with the relaxed but freindly service. The starters and mains were all very tasty - including the veggie dishes. Its lovely to taste some differnt flavours - which seemed pretty authentic to us and good value in terms of quality and quantity.Well done Chef!

Found this lovely restaurant on here after deciding to only going by reviews and not by ranking. So glad I took the time as we weren’t disappointed.The restaurant was full, I think we took the last table, service was friendly and we didn’t find it slow considering the amount of people that were there.The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the cold mixed meze. 5 small but very tasty and satisfying portions from the meze starter menu.For mains my husband had Iskender, Spicy mince lamb served on layered bread, oriental sauce and yogurt. I had Islim Kebab, Slow oven cooked lamb wrapped in fried aubergines served with rice.Both meals we so tasty, I love my curries and I sometimes fine turkish food a little bland, but the flavours were amazing.Can’t wait to return and try more from the menu

I visited Ezo Turkish Restaurant in a small family group with my Turkish husband on a trip to Bristol. We were very impressed with the food quality. The restaurant itself had a lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. We would certainly visit again next time we are in Bristol.

I stopped here for lunch with my mother in-law and sister in-law and the babies.The staff were so accommodating and allowed us to take over a corner of the restaurant to make room for the pushchairs.The service was a little slow to start with when taking the orders, but the food came out quickly after then and it was definitely worth the wait.We had a selection of foods between us and it was all very tasty. The menu is a little basic and slightly pricey but I would go back.

I sometimes go to this restaurant, which is one of the best turkish restaurants in Bristol. The last time I went there was in February this year with my girlfirend, and we were happy about it.They cook the food in front of you, in a big oven and a coal grill, so you know what you are going to eat, and the service is usually good.The mezze starters are very good, the grilled meat is very well cooked and the oven dishes I tried are very nice too: I would recommend the islim kebab and the char-grilled meat.I can't give it 5 stars because it's not a magnificent restaurant, and one day that the restaurant was busy the service was slow and not very friendly, but it was just one of the times I was there: all the other times the staff was very polite and friendly and the food has always been very well cooked for a decent price.

this little local Turkish restaurant is a gem. Simple, superb food cooked in front of you on a giant copper grill. Cosy atmosphere on these chilly damp nights. Try the charcoal lamb and a bottle of Yakut- fantastic

We called in here for dinner to excite us ready for our holiday to Turkey. The food was good, basic Turkish menu, I thought it was a little expensive bearing in mind the basic menu and surroundings but tasty neverthless. Friendly service.

Have eaten here about 4 times in the past year and each time we have enjoyed a very nice meal. The service is good and the food is well prepared and nicely presented. The mezedes are plentiful and delicious and the mains, particularly the grilled meats are excellent. The lovely fresh bread they serve is made at the the local Turkish patisserie/bakery (Bristambul) just further up Gloucester Road. Well worth a visit.

Ate here on a Saturday night in a group. Have eaten here a couple of times and the food is always excellent. Love the open charcoal fire they use and the place is always busy. Prices are very reasonable. Only issue was for a Saturday night only one person really working the tables. The pace was slow but it suited the atmosphere of the restaurant. Would recommend anyone to give this a go !

Amazing food, large portions too. We ordered the slow cooked lamb wrapped in aubergine and the minced chicken kebab wraps. The meal took a while - because they were so busy but they told us it would be a wait. So no probs. The beer list could be more extensive. However if your on the wine/spirits they've got you covered.We paid £40 for 2 main meals a shared starter and 2 drinks each- great value! Highly reccomend

If you want a good meal this is a place to go to - I have been several times and have had the veggie mousaka each time - it varies with whoever cooks it (it isn't a run of the mill frozen meal microwaved like you get in a number of places)

Had a reasonable meal with wine service was ok. Probably would go back,but had better.

I have been going here since it opened. The food and service were once really good but both are now firmly in decline which is a real shame as this place could really deliver on both. My most recent visit in April 2012 saw really slow service - 30 mins to take a drink order. An hour for food to arrive. Mains were lacklustre and tepid by the time they hit the table. I'd think twice before coming back again - given the new competition on the Gloucester Road.

Food quality was good. Very disappointed that waiter lost our order and was not very apologetic about it. We had to ask for some more olives whilst we patiently waited. When we wanted to order deserts we had to chase again. Good atmosphere but let down by poor service.

Our first visit to Ezo was a pleasure - the staff allowed us to concoct our own meze platter off menu, and we got to try lots of lovely little bits of Turkish food. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, and helped us choose different things to try.We would definitely come back here for a full meal after the warm and accommodating atmosphere the staff presented to us. The portions looked giant, and the cost very reasonable. A definite must-visit!

I have a slight obsession with Turkish food so for my birthday my boyfriend and I thought we'd check this place out as we walked past it pretty much every day and it always looked rather nice and busy. We got there around 7ish maybe later (had a few drinks first) and it was nicely busy. We had to start of with a mixed Meze and my only criticism is that there was not an immense amount on the plate; however what was there was tasty - especially with the complimentary bread (absolutely delicious). The mains however were really good size portions. My boyfriend went for a charcoal meat selection with vegetables, the meat was cooked perfectly and there was lots of it. I'm a sucker for seafood so I got the seafood casserole and it was quite delicious and again, the portion was big, and unlike some restaurants which give you about two mussels there was loads of prawns, mussels and salmon. The whole thing was garlicky and good but after finishing most of it i was dying of dehydration - it was a little salty even for my tastes. However, washed down with the red wine (I have no idea what wine it was) it all went down very well! To conclude it was a really good meal, good wine, and good atmosphere. The waitress was lovely very friendly and I must say I had a thoroughly good time. I would definitely recommend and I would come here again for sure if I still lived in Bristol!

Given the location, and the other great cheap restaurants around here, this place could do a lot better. The food was mediocre, nowhere near as vibrant as it should be. I had a lamb dish with babaganoush which had a hint of spice but was underseasoned and had a truckload of sickly yoghurt on it. It just needed some more texture and stronger flavours. The service was pretty friendly but too relaxed, the tables outside didn't get cleared for ages, on a sunny Sunday when every beer garden and cafe terrace should be heaving! It's a shame that they don't realise how much better this place could be.

I went to Ezo with my boyfriend for his birthday meal. We had looked at various restuarants on Gloucester Road and settled on this one; we definitely weren't disappointed. The place was quite quiet but it was only 6pm so still fairly early; a few more people arrived towards the end of our meal. There was a good choice of drinks and we chose a bottle of Turkish red wine, which went really well with our food. There was also loads to choose from on the menu - it took me ages to decide what to have, it all sounded so yummy! I settled on a starter of dolma - stuffed vine leaves - which were stuffed full and very flavoursome. My boyfriend chose the spicy garlic sausages which we really enjoyed - I also tried some and it was yummy. For my main I had the chicken adana - minced chicken kofta with herbs and chilli, served with rice, which I really recommend - amazing! My boyfriend also enjoyed his chicken and spinach dish. The portions were plentiful but we still had a bit of room for dessert! I had the kafayif and my boyfriend had the baklava, both delicious. We were very kindly given some Turkish liquor on the house to finish our meal - gorgeous! Two starters, mains and desserts and a bottle of wine came to just over £50. I will definitely be returning to sample some more of the lovely food on offer. If you're looking for somewhere to go for a birthday or other special occasion, I recommend Ezo. They have tables to accommodate larger groups as well as couples.

The food was good (but not great), service generally friendly but the place was quite quiet so lacked a bit of atmosphere

We arrived to a lovely warm welcome, which extended throughout our entire visit.The food was full of fantastic flavours, it was my first experience in a Turkish restaurant and if they are all like this, then I don't understand why there aren't more. Perhaps it was just beginners luck. I'm looking forward to returning and working my way through the attractive menu.

We had a similar experience to navyeye, it took two hours for our mains to come out and when they did they were at different times and Luke warm, also they got our drinks wrong. No apology offered at all. Usually this is a great restaurant, we have had great experiences at lunch time and the food and decor is great, but I'm not sure they can handle groups above 4-5 during dinner service

Myself and friends visited this restaurant in May for my birthday. From the momnet we arrived we were made to feel welcome and right at home. The service was excellent and they went out of their way to help. The food is typically Turkish, well cooked, well tasty and nicely priced. Highly recommended!!!!

This place really is wonderful - the food is amazing and I've been going there for 5 years and have never had or been with anyone who has had anything but a 10/10 experience. The actual place is lovely, very authentic with a warm atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly. This is the place I choose to go to for birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasion ! I generally eat out at least 2 or 3 times a week and I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite restaurants in Bristol ! So don't delay, go today !!

I entered the restaurant at 8pm. I and the 10 others at my table were ready to order at 8.20. by 8.45 someone had taken our order. 9.20 we had our starters and at 10.10pm, over 2 hours later, our mains arrived half of which were luke warm and one of which was totally forgotten.We had to ask for our plates to be cleared away between courses. We had to ask for cutlery to eat our mains. Not once were we asked if we needed more drinks and neither were we asked if everything was ok; no apology was made for the delay between courses so I can only assume this is service is normal.When the bill came at 10.50pm, there were £47 worth of items that did not belong to our table. A second bill was arranged, that one had £12 of items that did not belong to our table. The third bill arrived at 11.20pm and the restaurant had the bare faced cheek to add a £30 compulsory service charge.The food was ok (7/10), but completely ruined by the staff and service.

Tried it at lunchtime - evenings looks a lot busier. Very good kebabs & meze with free drink thrown in. Really tasty, quite good value too - surprised not to have appeared on Tripadvisor already. Currently the only Turkish restaurant in the area, although another one is about to open on Cheltenham Road (near the Arches) - curious to see how the competition shapes up!
