Konak Meze Turkish Restaurant (HORSFORTH) in Leeds

Thank you very much Konak Meze Harrogate for being part of my surprise xxx🥰 We were so happy to spend the time there, atmosphere was incredible, the food delicious and staff absolutely amazing xxx Highly recommend 👍

As always, very friendly service, delicious food (especially the slow cooked lamb with apricots) and great pricing.

Had an excellent meal Sunday evening with my family. The food was beautifully presented, delicious, and lovely service thank you.

Tasty food and great quality. However this is not an authentic turkish place, I would call it an English restaurant with Turkish food catered to European taste buds. As a turk, i have noticed a lack of Turkish atmosphere: music, customer service, hospitality all were very dry/ non- existent. We did not feel welcome or looked after, although nothing negative happened as per se. It was just a lack of interest in guests and a bare minumum service of waiters. Great and cosy place but not a Turkish experience.

Lovely decor, great staff, fabulous service. Bland tasteless food. There seemed to be bowls of tasty sauces missing. Relatively dry plate of food with a lack of seasoning. I thought that I must be coming down with a cold. When I got home after leaving much of my meal, and had to fill up with soup and bread, it was like a taste explosion. So it wasn't me, it was the bland underseasoned lacking in sauce boring food.

This is the nicest food I have had in ages!! Honestly, the nicest. The service was impeccable, such friendly staff. We will be back, thank you and special mention to Tristan who is so polite, lovely and interesting

Beautiful place, nice people and food

Not very Turkish. The two vegetarian main dishes tasted the same. Both had the same ratatouille stew. We would have expected something better but not a lot of choice for vegetarians. Starters were acceptable. Would not rush to go back as there are plenty of alternatives nearby

Went Saturday lunchtime sat outside under cover was warm and sunny Had the lunchtime special mezze 3 dishes hot or cold simply delicious we also had Turkish spicy sausage and hallumi sandwhich 2 drinks inc in price great value and wonderful food , staff brilliant as well added to the experience

First time visiting the restaurant for over a year, the first we went for the lunchtime deal which was impressive but this time we experienced food from the main menu and we were blown away by the amazing quality and taste of each dish. The organisation of all the staff was brilliant, they were all friendly and smiling and despite being busy, still very polite to one another. Special mention to Anna who was fab as our waitress! Lovely setting whether dining as friends, family or a couple - this place is perfect for anyone!

We've been meaning to try this place for quite a while and now my only regret is not having been sooner. The food was so delicious and the service was spot on. Will definitely be back for more

Service is good, but expected food to be better. Bread with starters was hard and small, the sides that came with the meals were a little bland but the main food was better.

Although the food is amazing, which I knew already,the service is lagging little bit. You could do better cause the place is quite nice.

Very Turkish experience. Was asked to come in at a random time to help stagger the tables however come the time we originally wanted the restaurant was empty but other than that it was great.

Wonderful Turkish restaurant, food choice excellent and good quality. Staff very friendly and helpful

We often come here for lunch on a Friday. The lunch specials are great and very cost effective. Service is always super quick which is convenient for us since we only get an hour for lunch. Drink orders are taken straight away and the food is always great.

Great place amazing service Consistent I have never had a bad meal. Atmosphere relaxed and professional. Great place any time of the day .

No nonsense review here: greeted with friendly waiters, bossman is a legend👌, fast service time for drinks so there’s no waiting time to get wonky🤪 same goes for the food orders, never had a problem with waiting too long for food to arrive. I’ll back this place to the ground👍

After a number of visits here i have never had a bad one! Amazing service and amazing food Thanks so much guys

The food was amazing. (Paticularly the prawns 🤤)...service was faultless. The restraunt was clean and well presented. Perfect for any occasion. Nothing was too much to request..... will defiantly be a frequent visitor and recommending to my friends snd family.

I've had lunch at this Turkish restaurant several times, and each visit has been a wonderful experience. Every dish I've ordered has been delicious, closely capturing the authentic flavors of Turkish cuisine despite being in a foreign country. Additionally, the waitstaff are nicely dressed and clean, enhancing the overall dining experience. Our waiter, Tekin, was extremely kind and provided excellent service. I definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a genuine taste of Turkey.

We went on Saturday. It was not very busy when arrive at 6 after 1hr it was full. Food was good. And our grill platter came little late compare to other’s order. Over all 7/10

Simply outstanding….. can’t recommend highly enough… all brilliant. Service and food off of the …love the place.

Good food in an attractive setting. Service was attentive Would happily go back.

4 diners, all had different dishes and all were delighted with their choice, well priced food and wine. The 4* for atmosphere was given only because we dined at a quiet time.

Konak Meze has a warm and welcoming atmosphere to it. The food is very good and the service we received was top notch. Last night I visited it for the first time though it won't be the last! Well recommend for all occasions!

Top service very polite staff food was delicious Highly recommend

The service was lovely. The place accommodated about twenty of us, there is a good food option, it all looked lovely. However, I was the only person who ordered prawns, and I felt a lack of satisfaction with that meal, as it was not as tasty and the serving was too little.

We went in for a quick snack and had a mezzo. Which was very nice. Next time we are up that way we will definitely go again.

Fantastic lunch at Konak Meze - excellent food, service spot-on and decent value. The Konak is a bit different to your usual dining options but defo worth giving it a go, we were super impressed and will return. Mixed starters were good, everyone enjoyed their mains, but the lamb was exceptionally tender and tasty.

Three of us had a lovely meal at Konak, the building is very well presented and in a good location with a few other bars/pubs nearby. Our meal was very tasty, we had the sharing platter which had plenty on for us. Drinks & Wine menu was great 👍 The staff were attentive and friendly Reasonably priced, on a par with other restaurants in Horsforth.

Great menu. Excellent food. Nice vibe. We'll be back. Good location for a meal with friends and family in Horsforth. Warm and welcoming. Well informed staff

We enjoyed a delicious two course meal and drinks. We were warmly welcomed by the manager and seated promptly, and all the staff were friendly and professional. The menu has a fabulous selection of succulent and mouthwatering dishes and the bar has favourable drinks to suit many pallets. We have visited Konak Meze many times and it has become our favourite restaurant in Leeds!

Fantastic meal and service as always. The young servers have been well trained and the kitchen must be equally as well run. No matter what our choice we have never been disappointed.

Excellent food and friendly staff, who proactively went out of their way to make us feel welcome with our two toddlers in tow.

We were taking my step father out for lunch on a Saturday and wondering down town street to find somewhere. Turkish maze sounded different so we gave it a try. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and explained the varied menu. The 3 of us made different choices for our individual maze and we all loved it and left empty plates. Very satisfied with the food, service and atmosphere and we will be back.

We use to visit here quite regularly but on our last visit we were left very disappointed. The mixed grill was very undercooked. We did recommend to some friends which were also served undercooked food so we did feel embarrassed for having recommending this restaurant. Not sure if the chef has changed as we have never had a problem with our food here before. Unfortunately we will not be visiting again as for the price you pay, for it then to served uncooked is not acceptable. The staff are polite & friendly and is a fab little restaurant it just the let down of the food being served undercooked.

We dined here one Saturday night with my mum who came to visit. Was a very quiet Saturday night in November, the portions were tiny and very experience for the portion we got, including the price of a Diet Coke. We came away hungry!

Really big fan of this place. Been a few times now and always the same experience. Food is excellent, service is really friendly and welcoming and overall it's great value. Would highly recommend.

Always enjoy our evenings here and this occasion was no exception. Arriving at our requested time, shown to our table by the as always very friendly and welcoming young waiting staff, we perused the familiar menu whilst we ordered a bottle of Cybele Dry White Wine. Starters of Mitete Koftesi (chicken meatballs) and Kremali Mantar (creamy garlic mushrooms) to be followed by Somon (salmon with pomegranate sauce) and Coban Kavurma (marinated lamb) were duly requested. After a pleasant short wait the starters were presented to the table. Piping hot, the chicken meatballs were smothered in rich sauce were very tasty. The garlic mushrooms too were very good, using the lovely bread to mop up the excess both dishes were returned to the kitchen without a morsel remaining. When brought to the table the mains too were very well presented, Sue’s salmon fillets laid on top of a mound of new potatoes and vegetables, I was assured it was very good as it was polished off with relish. My lamb was also very good, steaming hot and packed with meat and vegetables – as is the norm every last piece was devoured and every mouthful enjoyed immensely. As on every occasion we have been here, we again enjoyed dining here very much. Very nice food served by lovely friendly people with whom we enjoyed chatting too throughout the evening. Remains one of our favourites. Visited 9 Dec 2023

Excellent. Good food. Good service. Good value.

Most enjoyable evening in a friendly establishment. Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food.

Loved everything about it.. Amazing food, fab staff and superb ambiance of the place.. Went with my family next time will take my friends too.

I had dinner here with a friend last night. We had a starter and main course and found room for a dessert. Special praise for the lambs liver starter. The service was very friendly and efficient. We were both very impressed. Great value for money too! Thank you.

What a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the service very attending and the ambiente very nice. We definitely will come back again. Although it is a bit on the higher price side for a Turkish Restaurant, the quality of the food made it absolutely worth it.

I've visited the restaurant a few times now, and every time; the meal has been beautiful, the service is excellent, and the restaurant has a lovely and cosy ambience to it. The restaurant is in a great location, it's well lit up and very welcoming.

First time here & definitely won't be our last, my seafood dish was outstanding & a must to try, loved it..xx

Visiting Leeds and came here with some family that recommended. Really loved the food and the service was impeccable. Really went out their way to make our evening special. Very good if you are Gluten free/Coeliac! Thank you!

Food was lovely but not value for money

Yemekler çok lezzetli çalışanlar ilgili ve yardımseverler. Herşey mükemmeldi teşekkürler.

Wonderful and welcoming service. Delicious food on every visit. It’s a favourite for fresh, tasty food with myself and my husband!

Nice and cosy.tuked away with its own little garden feel right in the middle of horsforth Town centre. Food is amazing. Would definitively go again

Really good food great service, we'll be back 😀😋

Eat here quite often food always very good service excellent. Highly recommend!

I would have given 0 star if I had the choice. Rude staff, very disrespectful, and food was everything but authentic Turkish cuisine, very poor quality and certainly not value for money.

A lovely place to eat great food good service, we will return! It was a please to have an authentic Turkish meal.

Brilliant experience here on my first visit to the restaurant. The food was perfect, brilliant quality. The team couldn't do enough to ensure everyone was happy, really top notch service. Very attentive and friendly! Looking forward to visiting again soon!

First time visiting and will definitely be coming back. The food was delicious and the outdoor seating is really nice, only problem is when the sun came out it felt like a greenhouse!

Amazing sandwiches and lovely staff.

What a treat! Found this place by complete chance and had the lunch menu there, we got 6 mezes with red wine and we were so pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and authentic, I can't really remember the names but the falafel, smoked aubergine, spinach borek and the soup were DIVINE, the best food I had in Leeds in a loooooooontime.

Despite it being a Tuesday evening the restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere. Our meal was served quickly and all the staff were friendly and attentive. The food itself was great, with generous portions!

Service was excellent. Well done to Jacob who serve us took his time and explain the menu very well and had a very warm and charming personality. Lovely atmosphere, friendly workers all round.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Open till late.

Wonderful meal! We got a voucher and decided one Saturday to turn up as a walk in. The team kindly accommodated us. Fantastic food, really authentic. Great choice of drinks and brilliant service. Will be back!

A nice place, kind staff, but the specifics of the dishes are not entirely Turkish, they are adapted very much in the English style.... I would say 15% Turkish and the rest everything adapted in the English style.... It is not a bad thing if the majority customers are English, but when you're looking for a Turkish dinner, it's not really the best place

Food was good but overpriced for a portion you get.

Fabulous food and service. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Food is decent, but the incredibly friendly service makes it well worth a visit.

Went yesterday for birthday lunch. Friendly and welcoming service and a relaxing atmosphere. Food was prompt and delicious and we will certainly come back again.

Went here for lunch, lovely menu with lots of nice choices, food was amazing, and service was great. Would definitely recommend.

Oh wow, a chance find I was back in my birth county for some personal stuff had a trip to Horsforth where I found this delightful restaurant, I was in two minds curry or something similar. I drove passed Konak found a rare parking space. I was seated outside offered the heating on I declined, I ordered the hot meze platter it arrived looking oh so good with warm fresh pide bread Oh it was all delicious very fresh beautifully prepared and presented the taste was so good it reminded me of a great restaurant I often attended in Bodrum, thank you to everyone at this splendid restaurant Konak

As usual the meal here was first class

Dört kişi hepimiz farklı yemekler yedik . Hepside tek kelimeyle harikaydı. Mezeler türk mutfağını yansıtıyor ve damak zevki çok yakın. Çoban salata tam bildiğimiz gibi harika. Mekan ingilterede gördüklerinizden farklı olarak güzel ve şık. Servis ve sunum gayet başarılı. Yönlendirici,açıklayıcı ve misafirperverler. Bilal beye teşekkür ederiz

Great food, great sevice. Two of us carnivores shared the very tasty mixed grill, our vegetarian friend was very happy with his meal and the feta filo parcels went down well, as did the bread and hummus. And a couple of spicy sausages. A very pleasant house wine from Turkey was a perfect accompaniment. Even with the road a few metres away sitting outside it felt relaxed and friendly, almost like being on holiday.

Great service and gorgeous/beautiful meals ... thankyou so much 🥰

Took my partner for his birthday on a beautiful warm summer evening. Staff were lovely and made us feel so welcome. Food was really good and the atmosphere was happy and very relaxed. Our first time at a Turkish restaurant but not our last. We will definitely be back. Thsnks guys!!

I came here for an evening meal with my friend Suttie. We had originally planned to go for a curry, but stumbled upon this place and decided to take a risk. Well, didn't that risk pay off. We sat outside in the sunshine, and were treated to wonderful service throughout the evening. We got the hot sharing platter, with (admittedly unadventurous) sides of bread and chips, washed down with some elderflower. The platter was wonderful, lots of meats and cheeses to try, and it was definitely more than enough for us. What a great place.

Had a delicious dining experience here. Food was beautifully cooked, presented and flavoursome. Staff and service friendly and helpful. Very tasteful decor and a pleasure to dine in and catch up with friends.

Booked an outdoor table, as it was the first warm weekend of the year. Very friendly and helpful staff. Service was prompt. We had a mixed cold meze platter, with some additional falafel and feta parcels for starters. For mains, we tried aubergine stuffed with minced lamb and tomatoes, a chicken cooked in tomato/garlic sauce in a pancake basket with cheese topping and a stuffed aubergine dish. Couldn't fault any dish, all very flavoursome and well presented. Liked the atmosphere sat outside on the pavement. Will definitely return.

Tasty Turkish food with excellent service. We were looked after by a young man called Marvin who was brilliant.

We recently moved to the area and have been here twice now. Both times the food and service has been excellent. Fantastic atmosphere adds to the experience. We will definitely return!

First time we've eaten here and we loved it. Great staff, lovely choice of starters and mains. Food was very good and reasonably priced. We would definitely eat here again if we were in Horsforth. The bathroom is also worth a mention - those black and red sinks are gorgeous.

We picked 5 dishes off the mezze starters as our main meal (all delicious) plus a very tasty summer pud for dessert which perfectly rounded off a great sharing meal.

Fantastic food, great ambience and wonderful staff. Will definitely go back there.Authentic Turkish food.loved it

Lovely meal. Good selection of food all had starters and mains. Pleasant staff attentive. Went on a Sunday so had the offer really good value.

Had a mix of starters for brunch and it was worst I ever tried. Low quality and not value for money.

A nice place to visit in the centre of Horsforth. A very full menu with plenty of choice for everyone. The shared starter had lots of everything on it and it was good to have a try of all sorts. The mains were okay and the whole meal was very filling. Our only disappointment was that the meal deal wasn't on and this wasn't explained to us until we came to order.

Regular. Birthdays, celebrations. Just go eat. Billy and staff top of their game. Never failed, my 75th soon that's where we will be. Had birthday, group dozen friends, faultless. Thank u again to Billy and his amazing team. Esp. Anna. And the amazing tenik?. Mike

Very enjoyable meal, had 3 courses in the end.

Always a great meal at Konak. Consistent quality. Recommended!

A group of six of us went to the Konak for Mother's Day. Although the restaurant was extremely busy the food was really good and freshly cooked. The chef even altered one order to exclude garlic and herbs. The service was great and we all felt well looked after. I would definitely recommend and will certainly visit to be Knack Meze restaurant again.

Always consistent, take friends know will be looked after and choice to suit. Billy a charmer, listens all staff aware attentive. Chefs brilliant. Ifvu into lamb try special.

Absolutely delicious food, attentive staff, and competitive pricing. Excellent atmosphere and presentation.

Excellent food, friendly staff, not costing the Earth. We spent a lovely family celebration evening (birthday, gcse mocks, get together) on a cool March evening. We all had Turkish hot mese starters or spicy prawns; both excellent. Traditional Turkish lamb and chicken Tavuk have not...

Always enjoy the food and usually not too busy. Staff all great, chatty and attentive.

From the other reviews I expected so much, however felt disappointed. Houmous for starter was very average served with tiny chunks of bread. Chardonnay wine tasteless. The main course again disappointing vegetables coated in herbs and butter.

Recommended by people who lived in Horsforth. Very welcoming host. Food really tasty. Good house red. Had a great evening

We went at a funny time really, in the middle of lunch and dinner very quiet but still the service and food was excellent. A nice little treat from our favorite country and second home. Lovely restaurant welcoming staff.

Wow what a find . Food was delicious. A slightly smaller portion for the Ali Nazek. But service was excellent

Such a lovely time in this place with a best food
