On a wet Sunday evening in Woking this proved an excellent choice for the four of us. The restaurant was quiet, but quite busy with takeaways, but that suited us. The background music was at the ideal level to allow conversation at the table. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was really excellent. Hot and ample. The manager helped us out by calling a taxi as the one we had used had no vehicles available, so a big thanks for that too. Certainly recommend.

Superb friendly service and great to see that the chef from the previous Turkish restaurant is now the owner and chef here. I had the Lamb Kofte and my cousin chose the mixed Shish and Lamb Adana. Both were tender and has just the right amount of spice. Good choice of drinks and we had some pitta bread and dips as a starter to go with our drinks. Will definitely be back again when I am next in Woking.

Restaurant was empty and only 2 small tables in use yet when we walked in they wanted to place us in the worst position near the door and right in the Isle in the way. We asked not to sit there as it seemed an odd choice but I guess looking from the outside would help make the Restaurant look fuller. One seated the waitress didn't give us long before asking what we wanted, just seemed very persistent and rushed although it was only 8pm. I had a vegetarian burger and chips.. my friend had the calamari.. both were adequate. How've the off putting part was the whole thing tasted so oiley especially the vegetarian burger.. I'm used to it being grilled but this was certainly fried. When it came to paying the bill the waitress hovered over us whilst we were trying to work it out ( my friend had alcohol so it wasn't fair that I'd have to pay for that) she didn't leave us to work it out but just stood there adding pressure. She seemed nice enough but we felt very rushed and not relaxed. Service charge was added and that to me summed it up. I find when they are going to add service charge they aren't as attentive enough as they know they will get the tip.i was in two minds to dispute it just out of principle. I've never been shy of giving a good tip but depending on the service. I doubt I'll go again as it was okay but there are much better Restaurants in my area.

Visited here with friends on a Saturday evening, having visited only once before where we received a rushed service, but food was so good we thought we would give it a second go. Once again our food was fantastic, really tasty, cannot fault. However the service was once again rushed (an understatement). After ordering we received our hot starters & all was well - until our mains were brought to us when we were only 1/2 way through our starters. We asked politely if we could have the mains after had finished starters, & so the hot food taken away. Moments later a different waitress returned & tried to take our starter plates from us whilst we were still eating - again we explained we were still eating. Then literally seconds after we all finished starters our plates were taken & our luke warm mains were delivered. It is important so say the restaurant was not full so clearly there was no need to turn the covers quickly. Again the food is great but their desire to rush diners through their meals does not make for a relaxed environment. This is a real shame as we like the food, but after 2 rushed experiences will probably not consider coming back here is we are looking for a relaxed meal ! I’m sure many will report a great service here & maybe we have been unlucky twice…

Beauty of the place attracted me in. Me and my friend went in for a late meal. The place was clean and pleasant. We were service by Anna. She was so friendly and welcoming and had a beautiful smile. Love her! The starters and the main dishes were cooked to perfection. OMG! This was my first visit and I will be there again. Wicked place.

We stumbled across this Restaurant in a side street in Woking. It stood out with a very slick shop front and we decided to give it a try. A pavement board offered a Mezze + Main course for £12.99 but it turned out this is a Monday - Thursday offer and this was a Saturday. We stayed anyway and ordered a couple of lamb dishes, sharing a tomato, mozzarella & avocado salad. and each having a Becks alcohol-free beer. This came with complementary bread & dips, water and Turkish tea and came to £50. The food was well-cooked and the staff very attentive. WSe woulkd definitely go ahead - maybe on a week-day...

I visited this lovely restaurant with my daughter and granddaughter and we were all very pleased with the warm service we were given along with the delicious food. We had calamari starter/vine leaves and babaganoush…. All very delicious. Followed by a plate full of thick, juicy lamb chops that were soooo tender and these were accompanied with rice and a fresh dressed salad . I would recommend everyone to try the delicious food on offer here along with a friendly warm service.

Wow! The food here is so good, tasty and authentic coupled with the lovely staff it made a wonderful night out. Ana, our waitress was so helpful with helping us pick our dishes and she look after us so well. You must try the baklava for pudding, the best I've ever had! Well done Ihlara, we will be back!

First time visit but so please we have it a try Tasty food & friendly service didn’t disappoint. Only minor issue was our starters & mains arrived more or less at the same time to get ahead of a big group which I can understand but also was a bit overwhelming with so much food at once ! What we couldn’t eat we too home !

If your are craving for a Turkish takeaway I recommend you try the ILHara Turkish restaurant in woking. The customer service is good and their food was nice. Me and my friend had enjoyed the food.

I chose grilled salmon which came with a lovely salad, and a good portion of fried new potatoes. It was hot. Good value at £18.95 My friend chose a lamb casserole which came with rice topped with burger wheat. Her portion of lamb was quite ‘mean’, and her rice was cold. £18.95. So not good. The food arrived in a timely manner, A Turkish restaurant

We arrived at 6.00 ish on Saturday evening and already the Ilhara was busy. For the next hour there was a constant flow of families coming in to eat. The tables were clean, the menus were clean and fresh and the welcome was warm. The menu selection is good but prices are high??? We ordered are meals and then had to wait quite a long time for even a cold starter of tarama to arrive. The portion was not even that large but nice quality. Our main courses also took an age to arrive but although the meat was well cooked and succulent it was only warm and had that not recently cooked look. On the subject of delays a couple of people walked out as they were kept waiting too long. Not good. Ilhara needs to focus on these points and then it will have a first rate restaurant. We will return in a few months to try it again. So as a conclusion, if you are in no rush go and enjoy the Ilhara.

Excellent place with the added bonus that you can bring your own drink in to the restaurant. The food is excellent with a variety of exceptional flavours. Lovely simple ingredients served well. The service seemed a tad slow when we were there and I detected and saw a slight conflict of emotion between two of the service staff but this did not deter from enjoying the food. Overall,great value for money.

The food here is amazing. The meat dishes were so well cooked and nicely seasoned. Portion sizes are also good. Staff were helpful too. We were here for a birthday meal and this was a really nice treat. On a side note, I also really liked the decor.

I’m so happy that I’ve found this little gem. The food was absolutely delicious and packed in boxes rather than plastic containers. My son who’s a bit of a fussy eater had the jerk chicken, rice, plantain and ate the whole thing. The oxtail curry was cooked to perfection and literally fell off the bone. The whole family enjoyed their meal and we’ll definitely be ordering again.
