Hill Ephesus Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

Much richer / saltier than I remember from when we used to eat in the restaurant a few years ago, even the rice was too salty for my tastes. May be to some people’s tastes though obviously!

Excellent food and really friendly service!

The quality of the meat wasn’t great, the food was cold and had to be reheated on arrival. There was no salad with the kebabs which I was quite surprised about, the salads are a staple with Turkish food. Just a bit lacking really for the price..

bland food will not be ordering again

It was ok, I have had better turkish food, but the owner/manager was very friendly

Update: This is my wife's favourite restaurant, both eat in and delivery. We ear here quite often, food is great but the services tops it! Yesterday we went for my nan's birthday she had a blast! Thanks, Faisal! 💪

Lovely restaurant, really friendly and caring staff. Must try!

The food was delicious, particularly the lamb kleftico. Tailoring the order ok JustEat was easy, only small downside is although we specified a time for delivery, the food arrived 20 mins early so was a little on the cool side once we were able eat

The lunch special is highly recommended. Great value for the price. Only £10.80. Service was excellent. If weather permits grab a seat outside in the courtyard.

was a pleasant surprise. very fast at delivering and the food was amazingly good. definitely will order again

Freshly cooked food packed neatly. The presentation of the meals was very apetizing. Many thanks for the quality of chef's work!

Have been many times to this restaurant but last night the service was very much below par, we ordered white bait for starters and the bbq special for main, the wait was long, then my main came I said we were waiting for our 2 white bait starters, then 5 mins later the owner tried to give us our 2 mains again, again I said no we are waiting for starters his reply was "it's on its way' I said no we want our starters 1st he actually looked shocked he then went away, another long wait to the point we nearly got up and just paid for the 2 beers we had but I said no its ok we'll wait, then we got our starters I had to ask for tartar sauce, this was good food, we then got our mains, well it was not fresh obviously been put under a hot lamp, the rice was cold and the food was barely warm, I ate what we could as I'm sorry I was bot willing to report and have to wait again for my tea. Not a good experience on this occasion.

I been ordered for lamb chops I received 4 pieces solid lamb chop and 2 piece ribs which is not good

Nice food but wasn’t very warm

Really gutted by todays experience. food arrived late and was cold. Food was below average, rice tasted like microwave rice, chips were soggy, both main dishes were tasteless. It was the first time trying this restaurant and won’t be trying again. Wish we had ordered from an alternative. Normally don’t write negative reviews but the food quality warranted.

Had a delicious meal here after hearing great things. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and make it a great evening. I was expecting more of a “show kitchen”, but it is basically like looking at a takeaway kitchen. The food is very tasty and much better quality than a takeaway kebab place. The portions are large, and some of the big platters look incredible. The food was not greasy at all and tasted very fresh and traditional. I had the mixed doner with fries. Had the baklava to finish which was lovely, but clearly just bought in boxes. Served with Turkish tea, and the hosts kindly gave out free alcohol shots while I was there. All the drinks are bottled, so don’t expect a pint. The decor is nice, the staff are lovely, but the grilled meats are the star attraction. Note: There is a 10% tip automatically added to your bill, which I’m not a fan of.

Incredible taste and portion of food is very satisfying. Rice was tasty, and the meat were just amazing: i could feel the passion and love that was poured into making the best food for the customers. We ordered to share 4 dishes among 5 people. The waitress was funny and friendly, spacious and comfortable. Great value for money!!

Very impressed, would definitely order again

First time ordering from Ephesus! Ordered the Medi Platter for 2 people. THE BEST Turkish food we have eaten. So much variety and every dish was absolutely delicious. Food arrived on time (by the friendliest delivery driver!!) packaged well and the hot food was all still lovely and hot. 100% will order again!

Food is lovely, though a little expensive.

The best place in town for proper kebabs. Always fresh and very good value

Friendly service, excellent value, top quality. What more can you ask? I had the lunch deal (available till 4pm) only £10.80 for starter, main, baklava and tea.

Gorgeous food, delivered on time by a wonderfully cheerful chap.. brilliant service from beginning to end x

Having visited the restaurant on several occasions it lived up to expectations yet again. The staff are super friendly and the food is tremendous.

Came this evening for my son’s 19th birthday celebrations. Absolutely fantastic staff and gorgeous food. Even sang him happy birthday what he enjoyed! Today was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Can’t wait to come back soon

I ordered 2 mains and a side via the just eat app. Got confirmation that the order had been accepted at around 8.30pm. got a message stating I should expect delivery at 9.50pm. Then at 9.40 received a cancellation notice that the restaurant couldn't fulfil my order! Why wait over an hour to tell me that? Was left hangry and frustrated, it seems the restaurant may be fine, but don't bother ordering a takeaway.

Visited this place as the menu looked good and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent as was the service. The owner was very enthusiastic and pleasant. Good food, beer and wine . Highly recommended.

The chickens are not juicy at all, the lamb is not tasty at all and the rice is poorly spiced, will not order from the restaurant again

This is the most outstanding restaurant I have visited in the area. Faysal and Iwana provided outstanding service and the quality of the food was also excellent. Best Turkish Restaurant I have been to and one of my favourites

Food is always great but the kofte is amazing

Good service , good food, fair price. Will come back

Delivery time longer than originally quoted on app and not kept updated on when food was on the way. Although food then arrived before they estimated it was all cold and therefore not enjoyable.

Food was really nice, looking forward to trying something different next time. Main was pretty large too. Delivery was fast and friendly driver

Brilliantly delivery but rice wasnt very nice at all

The best restaurant ❤️❤️❤️ 5⭐️ isn’t enough

I found Hill Ephesus on GoogleMaps and I’m so glad I did. If you’re craving Turkish or simply Middle Eastern, this is the perfect spot. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and portioned generously. There’s an outdoor seating area in the back of the restaurant that is bright and open - even includes a beautiful tomato garden with a TV adjacent. Perfect spot for a party, gathering or a group watching football. The restaurant owner is incredibly warm and generous, along with his team. Great experience - so glad I found this place!

We came in last night for a meal with friends. We were served but a very overdramatised waiter. Our starters was like it was cooked twice. Definitely over cooked was not gd. Then the mains appeared………. Well the chicken was so dry and could have killed some the Donna meat was hard and looked like it was from breakfast box and was tuff as old boots We didn’t. Stay for pudding we could Only think what they would be like. So this was our 1st and will definitely be a last time. We did complain to the waiter and he did say anything we said we could even eat 3 out of 4 meals that we had could eat! Disappointed is an understatement!

I'm hoping we just visited on a bad day…food was dry and some bits were inedible 😔 The only good part was the beer as they didn't make that!

Whilst the meat and rice was flavoursome, bread was not fresh which came with our kebabs. It’s an average quality food and not worth the >1hour wait.

The food was lovely,and well worth the price,the gentleman was lovely.the reason I only gave it a 3, was because a lady server was sitting and chatting with her family/friends,not aware of what was going on around her,more interested in her family/ friends.she passed my table twice,I had finished my main meal ,she didn't even acknowledge that I had finished my meal,her family and friends had come into the restaurant after me,while I was waiting for my pudding they had finished their meal,she then brought out the pudding for her family/friends.I had to ask her for my pudding in the end.when it came to pay it had a service charge on it,I told her to take it off,which she did.i wasn't going to pay a service charge ,as the service from her wasn't good. I will go back again,as I said the gentleman was lovely and the food was good and reasonably priced ( it was a lunch time).

Family-friendly restaurant with very good food. The garden behind was sheltered and the wooden benches more comfortable than I expected. The waitres was friendly and helped me decide what to order. It was quiet enough that I could read my book, though I think as I went quite early, it might pick up later. I look forward to coming back and trying something else. The portions are huge.

Very nice lunch , I had the lamb ribs and my friend had the lamb stew , good friendly service and relaxing atmosphere

What a fantastic find totally brilliant food,staff and service greatValue. Had a set menu for two and couldn't possibly of eaten it. Totally not to be missed will return well done 👍 👏 xx

Advise not to order delivery from this restaurant! We were given an estimated hour and a half wait for delivery which is slow, but food did not arrive for 3 hours and was cold. App delivery update request was inaccurate. When I called the restaurant the person was rude, spoke over me, was not helpful and did not listen to me. A request for a refund via the app has been ignored. Will not use them again - really awful experience ruined what should have been a pleasant birthday treat!

App says the food is delivered. Still hasn’t received my order. And restaurant hung up twice.

Absolutely delighted with the food and with the service. What a lovely restaurant and wonderful staff.

10/10 . Great food and service. Don't miss out!

Nice place and staff and a very good and tasty food

Lovely staff and the food is well prepared to satisfy my African palette

The service is excellent week after week. The manager is kind and thoughtful. The food is delicious and good value. The lunch special especially.

If they want to present themselves as a nicer restaurant, they should change a lot. The outside looks good, but the inside felt dingy. Friendly staff. The waitress wanted to engage with the guests asked us where we were from etc. Gave attention with music if you have a birthday. The food quite ok.

It said it was ordered before it was ordered so I rang and complained because I was worried it went to someone else. Your driver delivered it a few minutes after.

Good food, relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices. Mains were well presented, and the children's meals were particularly good value. Recommended, will definitely visit again.

I have ordered from this restaurant now on four occasions and three of those the food has been over 30 mins late - without a message or call to say the food is late - not sure I will give them another opportunity. Shame as the food is tasty but the service is poor

Brilliant food and ambience,their lunch special is delicious and value for money. Best Turkish restaurant in Huntingdon. Do not miss the Kurdish salad!

Excellent food, a good atmosphere and very friendly staff. We visited with a friend as he suggested he knew a place with great food in the area. It so happened and we arrived right before the kitchen closed, but the staff was more than happy to take our orders. Can't complain about anything, we had a wonderful time.

As a Turkish person myself I can tell you his food is just amazing! Authenticity is a different thing when you are out of Turkey, therefore he is pretty close!!!

Second visit and tried their mixed platter, all the meats, well seasoned and tasty. Friendly staff and good service

The food was really late so by the time it arrived it was cold. I don't think I would order again.

Not only late but food was luke warm. Ephesus! This is so unlike you. A simple curtesy phone call saying you have problems would have made such a difference.

Fantastic food and even better people. They were quality.

Fantastic food and much more the customer service

This is a super place to have a very friendly and welcoming Turkish experience! We were a family group celebrating a birthday and the staff really joined in - we felt very much at home! Food was great, service excellent and can thoroughly recommend.

Food was 45 minutes to an hour late, and it was stone cold. Basically had to throw it all in the bin. first time using these, it will definitely be my last

We tried the lunchtime special, which includes starter, main and small dessert with Turkish tea for about £11 at time of visit. I have to say it was all very tasty and well cooked and the portions are just right for lunch. The service is also very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended based on one visit.

Again a great well cook meal, as always 💎

Eating here felt like we were visiting family. We received a warm welcome and were well looked after. The food was delicious and very filling. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again.

My son and I stopped here last night for dinner, and had an excellent meal. We were welcomed personally by a very friendly lady, with whom I had spoken on the phone en route. She remembered that we had called ahead to order, as we were short of time.We had only a short wait for our food, which was freshly prepared and piping hot. I had vegetable moussaka with a lovely salad a buttered rice. My son had chicken shish also with rice and salad. I couldn't finish mine, as we had to leave to meet someone, so the kind lady put it in a container in a bag for me, along with some Turkish Delight sweets for the journey. I've just eaten the rest of my moussaka, and it was so good!! If you're in Huntingdon, go and try it.

Best food ever, love the lamb chops. I had the best Lamb kleftiko ever, cooked to perfection, well seasoned and served with beautiful Turkish rice accompanied by a gorgeous salad topped with pomegranate sauce and vinegar. My compliments to the chef!! Well done!

Food was on time, but when ordered wasn’t an hour was 2. Food was lovely and tasted great but came cold. Chips were so cold we couldn’t eat them.

Came for lunch menu, arrived at 3.55pm and no problem (lunch menu finishes at 4pm). Lots of choice, 3 courses for £10.80 and vegetarian options available. Lovely staff, very friendly and hospitable. Lovely man from Marmaris served us. Fresh, flavoursome, filling food. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back soon.

Very dedicated staff, n humble service. Food amazing. Lots of food , tastes. Will suggest and will go again.

Amazing meal for 6 people with loads of food left over. Really authentic food. Thanks

My meal was nearly cold by the time is dished It up was stone cold And chips were undercooked and some still cold x very disappointed had to put everything in my oven to heat up not what you should do with takeaway xx

Quality food! have ordered from them before and will again!! Definitely worth the money! ( we all agree, it's worthy of being a member of the clean plate club as we enjoyed the food!! )

Really good lunch menu had a good three courses staff were really good and couldn't do enough to make it a experience

Food was excellent. Cooked to perfection!

Food was really nice and tasty, chips were cold but wasn’t an issue, very enjoyable meal

The meat was lovely and so was the bread but received no roasted vegetables or rice so had to cook our own rice up.

Always a lovely meal with great friendly service. Always made to feel welcome.

I ordered tempura prawns for starters and sea bass with rice for mains. Prawns were good but the grilled sea bass absolutely amazing. The order was delivered earlier and the portion was generous….5*

I had very Bad experience the service was awful. The food was burn. I have asked a chicken Beyti but they brought chicken Durum we did ‘t eat half and left the restaurant. I wont go again

Excellent service. The manager couldn't do enough. The food was excellent as well.

The lamb and sauce had excellent flavour. The advertised vegetables consisted of 2 half mushroom and a slice of pepper which was disappointing quantity. The order was delivered without rice. The roast pepper starter was very tasty. The order was too cool.

FRIENDLY SERVICE AND VERY GOOD FOOD

Lovely food as always thank you

Perfect for a tasty authentic Turkish lunch. It's the 2nd time we have been and the quality is as good as it was the first time. Efficient and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Really good food. Lovely service. Was a little chilly in the restaurant.. But apart from that, everything was great

The margarita pizza had a meat sausage round the edge which wasn’t mentioned in the menu and meant half was wasted as we don’t eat meat. Very long wait for food.

My eyes rolled back into the back of my skull!! It was AMAZING 😍 10/10

So I can't rate this place enough, it was quiet but I prefer that and I do believe from the amount of phonecalls and people coming in and out most of there business is through takeaways, if you are local to huntingdon justeat and food hub, or go in! The food was fresh and not a single complaint to be had, delicious through and through, and very quick service also, will be returning many time's

Waited an hour and 30 minutes for COLD FOOD!!!! Phoned to chase 3 times and the staff didn't care at all and rudely put the phone down on me!!! I will not be ordering from here again.such a disappointment for a first customer experience!!!

Lovely food and excellent service as always. We were a group of 7 who always meet here and we will definitely return. Highly recommend

I don’t know why this place gets good reviews. I’ve tried it three times now and it’s always the same, poor quality, bland and overpriced food. £30 minimum delivery fee is ridiculous! I just spent £40 on two meals, that’s restaurant prices, which would be fine except what arrived was poor takeaway kebab house in quality. It’s such a shame because the menu looks and sounds amazing, I’ve kept going back hoping I’ve been unlucky. It’s the only place of its type on Just Eat for the area. Disappointing

Very disappointed with the service

I order delivery from this restaurant all the time, and it's always amazing food. They have great portion sizes and everything always tastes fresh! My only complaint would be that they no longer serve the anatolian soup, at least on delivery apps. That was one of my favourites!

Our family frequents this place and they always welcoming. Tonight myself and my partner went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and I am so glad we chose to go here. I can't praise the staff enough. They were really lovely and the chefs made the food taste amazing. We'll definitely be going back again!

Delicious food and plenty of it. unfortunately a little cool when delivered.

Very nice lunch took by chance to pass a few hours waiting for car repair , all food was well cooked and authentic , great friendly service , would definitely return and recommend .

What a fantastic place. The food was amazing..and the staff were lovely. Just wish we had tried it sooner.
