IBO'S Bar & Restaurant in North Hertfordshire

my first time here and was well impressed. Staff were lovely and friendly, great vibes with a few birthdays going on, food was delicious, will definitely be back

Absolutely Fantastic food and service, worth every penny

Service is amazing here, staff are lovely

Great food , very lovely decoration

Lovely place to eat with great staff and very nice food.

Had a team meal here, lovely service and very friendly atmosphere and attentive staff, would highly recommend

Great beer called Efes from Turkey!

Went for lunch today, food was excellent and the lunch menu is very good value for money. Staff were all amazing and the atmosphere was lovely, probably helped by the fact it was nice weather and the front was open to the outside. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful food prices good restaurant well furnished only negative was the little aggressive man greeting at the front rolled his eyes huff puff when I asked for still water with my dinner? Wouldn't detur me from coming back was nice. Please work on manners if your greeting waitress she was excellent attentive.

Food is delicious and always consistent 😋 Love it 😊

Beware of the Water Trick I was quite disappointed with the cunning water service here. They poured only half a glass from the bottle, then took it away from our table, presumably to pour for someone else. The bottle was nowhere to be seen, but I was still charged for a full bottle of water. This left a sour taste in my mouth, and not just from the overpriced water!

Really vibrant place and quite lively. Really enjoyed the food. The cold starter for two will feed 4 easily. Lamb chops were a little overdone for everything else was perfect.

Great food and incredible accommodation for someone allergic to everything under the sun! Great job folks

Had the most amazing experience at ibo’s bar & restaurant tonight my friends birthday was yesterday So we wanted to go somewhere for some late celebrations. We tried somewhere different not too far this place was amazing service was outstanding & food was amazing.the manager was a so helpful with our booking. We will see you again soon

much gratitude and respect to a lovely restaurant, friendly and attentive staff, fantastic cuisine, the lamb and chicken mix plate is the most tender in the world, highest recommendations to this lovely restaurant and its friendly staff. I wish you all the best❤️

Came here recently for a friend’s birthday. Meal was great, really big portions and tasty. My only negative with the food was the feta was quite bland and I had to put a lot of salt & pepper on it (most likely my personal taste) & the rice was a bit different to Turkish rice I’ve had before, but was still nice. I also would have loved if the music was traditional Turkish music, it was great too hear classic songs I know, but I think it would have just been that extra special something if I heard traditional music. I got the chicken shish for my main and it was super tasty and fresh. I also had a raspberry mocktail and it tasted very nice! Also good value for money. Would definitely return!

Great Place! Food is delicious.

One of our favourite places to eat in Hitchin. Great food, service and atmosphere.

This place was highly recommended, and it certainly didn't disappoint! Food was of quality standard, the chicken penne pasta was delicious, which went down lovely with a few cocktails 🍸😁 Excellent service and on hand straight away if you need anything. Will be back to visit again

Always enjoyed my food here both summer lunches outside and inside dinners during the winter. Really enjoyed the liver at my last visit.

Such lovely food as always, I’m never disappointed when ordering from here! Thank you again ibos for such a lovely dinner!

Amazing food, amazing service, great location ⭐️

Excellent customer service , ambience and lots of food and very delicious

Hands down the best restaurant service in Hitchin, food is always delicious, fresh and on time. I received free bread and hoummous with my order, such a wonderful touch. Could not recommend enough

I will back soon again. Perfect atmosphere and all food are amazing 👌👌🧿

Great decoration, amazing food. Loved that. I will definitely come back

This place is just like any other Turkish restaurant, the only point of difference is the extremely expensive price tag that comes with it, kids chicken nuggets and chips is £10, that's with no drink/dessert, most dishes are £20+, way too expensive!!!....and you can walk across the square and eat elsewhere for a lot less, the cocktail menu is great, that's about it!!!

My work colleagues and I went to Ibos in Hitchin on Friday evening and we all had a fabulous time. It is very hard to fault anything as the drinks were excellent (the cocktails were a master piece) the staff were excellent, great warm atmosphere and the food was excellent. My main course, Shrimp Casseole with extra spice was very tasty indeed. Well worth a visit at any time during the day. I am already looking forward to going back soon. Thanks IBOS.

Excellent service and great staff

Excellent Food in a very nice restaurant. Very Friendly and efficient waitress. Only one small downside. A glass of Malbec Wine at £9.50 is a bit over the top.

Great dinning experience ! We love coming here for a meal, staff always friendly and give excellent service.

Amazing food, we had the veg moussaka with chips, and mixed grill and the food was lovely! All well cooked and hot when served. Complimentary bread and dips was also a nice touch. Our host Natalie was attentive and provided excellent customer service

We went here for the lunch menu, the service was brilliant as the staff was very helpful and served with a smile, the portions was a very good size and the price was very reasonable for the level of quality, very flavourful and cooked to a very high standard, the restaurant it’s self is a high class interior and a very comfortable and welcoming feel, I would most definitely eat here again and would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who visits or lives in the local area 5 star from us

Best Turkish restaurant in Hitchin! Terrific value for money and amazing food

Great place and great food & service

The food was delicious and generous portions. The staff is lovely and welcoming. I recommend any day every day

My friend and I went there for dinner last night. It’s a striking looking place. The bar looks like a cocktail bar and the decor is like onyx making it feel expensive. We had a reservation (they were very busy) and the manager greeted us and was very welcoming. She made good recommendations for what to have and talked us through the menu. We shared bread and humous. The bread was incredible. I don’t know what flavouring they put on it but it was addictive. I wanted more and more. For a main I had the chicken kebab and my friend had the lamb. Mine was massive. Huge. I had no chance of finishing it so he helped out. His was more of a normal portion size. The food was excellent. Couldn’t fault it. The rice soft and fluffy and the chicken was cooked to perfection. They had live music on, he was decent and gave the place a bit of a lift / buzz. This place is great for groups. Not so sure I’d go for a first date though. But two lads having a meal out on a Saturday night it was perfect. Really liked it. Would go again.

Absolutely gourgeous food ! We will order again !

Food is brilliant which is a shame because the service isn't. Been twice, second time was to see if it was a one off, but sadly no. If you ask any questions you get blatant eye rolling, everything seems like a problem, even trying to order a drink 10 minutes after being seated. Was a uncomfortable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Will not be back.

Such an amazing place! Food was amazing and you get so much food! Also got some things on the house

I went to Ibos on a date and I was not disappointed! The food is 💯, the attendant were soo sweet. Even though we went late. I would definitely visit again!

Amazing service, Amazing staff and amazing food!

Always a friendly welcome, staff seem very happy and helpful. Food always good. Would definitely recommend. 😁

Best of hitchin definitely recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️

all the staff are really nice and friendly and the restaurant itself is incredibly furnished, i’m surprised it’s not as busy as i expected! the prices are good and i would really recommend

We had the best service at Ibos, really lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and best of all lovely food!! Ali was great, and the manager was really helpful and lovely! Will definitely come again and recommend!

We didn't eat but the smell of foid is divine. Staff are super sweet and friendly. Will definitely be back for Classic Marghueita and eat in next time. Great atmosphere and clean as a whistle. I fully recommend

Excellent food do themed nights too. Would go again

We had a family dinner here at the weekend the food and service was outstanding!

Amazing place to eat. Food is excellent and staff so friendly and helpful!

Just Eat failed to deliver the meal. They say it is delivered but nothing arrived. Atrocious service from Just Eat!!

The food, service and atmosphere was amazing and the manager was so lovely thankyou for an amazing night :) xx

Wow wow wow no photos as I ate my food before I put this review. Food and service was amazing.

Always a lovely meal here... Service and atmosphere great. Probably best Turkish about in my opinion ❤️

We have visited the place for first time. It was incredible how the service was within busy times . It was perfect! We had 2 course meal , everyone loved it. Staff is very polite and happy during at work Will be back in 2024 . Thank you IBOS

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. First and last time we will be paying a visit to Ibos. The service was incredibly slow and almost non existent unless you were flagging down the waiters. The food was average at best! With the meals taking over an hour to arrive. Upon raising our feedback the manager was incredibly dismissive and argumentative despite the feedback being genuine and delivered respectfully. They handled it so poorly I was prepared to walk out without paying!

Meh. Chicken shish was very very dry. Too expensive all round. Bread came after our main. Deadest chips. Service 3/10. Everything looks nice though.

Great service, food was amazing, we will definitely be back!!

Fantastic as usual, super generous with portions! Thank you again ibos

Absolutely lovely food, will definitely be ordering again. Thank you very much ibos

Booked a table for 3 people for our works Xmas party (small independent business 🙈😂) and when we turned up the restaurant was packed! However despite how busy they were the food was served quickly, it was delicious and the staff could not have been more attentive. Very impressed with their management of such a busy night. Great atmosphere and a great night. Would highly recommend.

Really welcoming even though we only wanted a light lunch and a place to chat. Food was delicious ..what a good find .Will return for sure

Food awesome! Went there last night, Again! Food and service just top notch!

I have eaten here on a few occasions and enjoyed every time. I have the lambs liver last time and that was delicious. So much so I tried to recreate it at home but didn’t come close. I need to speak with the chef and get his recipe.

Wanted to take my mum for some lunch weather was terrible found IBO'S what a hidden jem food was spectacular will be coming here more often

Food was good, and the team very nice. Some more draft beers would have been appreciated !

Visited on Saturday night with my friends. They were seated before I arrived & told we would need to be done by 8.15. Which wasn’t mentioned when booking but never mind. After that we had some cocktails & food. Once we had eaten the food, plates were cleared one of the party had another cocktail. When we opted to not have desert we were reminded again we had to be gone by 8.15. We paid the bill & one of the group used the toilet we waited at the table, still only 8pm to which one of the waitresses walked past looking at her watch whilst implying we were holding them up. Such a shame this happened. I wouldn’t return based on this experience however good the food was.

We went there for my Daughter's 1st Birthday on Tuesday as our usual was close. Didn't know what to expect but the food was delicious and the atmosphere and service was excellent. I will definitely go back, this is my favourite restaurant in town now. Loved the ice-cream and candle at the end of our meal for my little one, I wasn't expecting it and it was very touching.

What a great experience. Great atmosphere with live music and the service is brilliant. We definitely be back

Great place, great staff 👍 Highly recommended 🔝💛

Such great service! Food is delicious and portions are so big, also the cocktails are amazing! Staff is very profesional and lovely. Definetly recomend ⭐️

Best turkish food fron Hitchin !!! Sper you soon again !

Best restaurant in town, nice atmosphere, great staff and the food it’s amazing!

I recently had dinner in this restaurant, the staff was very kind, the order came faster than we expected, the quality-price ratio was very good, and the food was very delicious and very nicely presented. I recommend ! we will come back soon!

Good food and pleasant service. Few people in the restaurant when we were there, so we had to create the atmosphere ourselves.

A place of true natural beauty. They let dogs on the beach on leads as well.

The best place ever !! Unreal food and atmosphere will be going back again and again . Absolutely love !!!!

Best Turkish restaurant around. Exceptional service and food! Will not be disappointed!

Ibos always deliver excellent food. It's always really hot and fresh. And they always go the extra mile by giving lots of their fresh delicious bread! Definitely a worthwhile takeaway.

Words almost fail me the food is that good. Everything is fresh, hot and so very tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

amazing experience, lovely cocktails food and atmosphere x

Amazing food, amazing staff overall amazing experience thanks Ibos 🥰

Best restaurant in hitchin! Food is unreal and the service is incredible, highly recommend!

It was the first time at this restaurant. The service was excellent. Food was yummy and the atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend and we'll certainly go back again. Prices were very reasonable too.

Look I’m from the Caribbean and you know we islanders love our flavors and this restaurant is banging the food is smashing it’s too good I promise…I’ll definitely be coming back

Starters and mains were amazing!

Took my family for birthday meal and i haven't had good experience today. It wasn't good service at all today had to ask them for plates, cutlery then one of us food didn't came he didn't took ordered properly. The man was working there he wasn't looking happy at all today with us. So ruiened the day. Not happy at all.

First time eating here. Friendly attentive staff and great food 😋

The chicken had feathers. This is the first rime I have seen this.. I was disappointed I gave it to my dog. My husbands was fine.

The food is always amazing - the meat is especially well cooked. Worth the money.

lovely staff, and a great way to spend a friday night. definitely will be back for another drink soon

We were passing through Hitchin on the A505 and needed somewhere to eat. We took a chance on Ibo's and boy were we impressed! Friendly, efficient service and super tasty food. The flatbread and dips were so good we almost didn't leave enough room for our amazing shish kebab mains! My wife had the chicken and I had the lamb, both of which were really tender. Really easy to park around the corner after 6pm - which was lucky as we were so full we needed to waddle to the car!

Such a wonderful place! Best Lamb shish - so succulent and tasty! Great cocktails and super flaming saganaki starter. They found out it was my Dad’s birthday and gave us some wine and an ice cream dessert with a candle in it and sang him happy birthday! He was made up. Treated like royalty!!! Thanks so much will be back again!

Great place to eat attentive staff and friendly too .

Food and service was amazing. Wine prices were absolutely extortionate! Shame, would defiantly go again more regularly but the wine prices are a put off!

Cian was the best waiter I’ve ever had, best service in Hitchin, and for a good price too, food was brilliant!

We had a wonderful experience at Ibos this evening. The owner served us personally, and all the staff have a great sense of humour. The overall ambiance, service, and food were outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning again and again! Thank you Ibos and your team.

The atmosphere and food is amazing, very tasty BUT not good for gluten free. They have a gluten free menu- which says that dishes are served with rice and salad (standard for a Turkish restaurant). However their rice isn't gluten free. I don't know what they do to it to make a naturally gluten free food not gluten free. Chips aren't gluten free either and they are no alternatives. So meat arrives with just a salad whilst everyone around has rice/chips etc. They could easily offer plain rice to go with their amazing meat.

Absolutely outstanding. I am a keen cook and the food was faultless, yet again. I can’t recommend Ibos highly enough. Utterly delicious food, and each of the 8 dishes were perfectly cooked. The portion size was very generous, and even the salad side dishes were perfectly dressed. Don’t go anywhere else for food, either in-house or takeaway!

Good food, a little over priced. But the cocktails are great..
