Konak Meze in Harrogate

It is a very cozy place with welcoming and friendly atmosphere, nice music playing in the background and the best food served in the city. The service was amazing, all members of the staff were smiley and chatty. The food was fresh, apetising and very well cooked. We've tried everything from starters through mains and up to teas, coffees and desserts. It all tastes great! Nice lunch deals, too!

Everything on our evening was great. Thank you so much for great food and great service.

Fab place to eat. Lovely food and lovely service. Great value for the price on the lunch menu of three picks and a glass of wine. Ipek is a lovely server and provided great service.

Visited as 2 couples for an early Saturday evening meal. Prior to our visit I emailed with queries around my many dietary restrictions. These include Gluten and Dairy free as well as other allergies. As an Epipen carrier I need to be very careful. I was reassured that all my needs would be met and the booking was made. On arrival I was very impressed that we were greeted by a delightful waitress who referred to my allergies and assured me that the chef was prepared too. Each member of staff knew what I needed to avoid and even when selecting drinks I was guided. I was delighted with the vast selection of the menu that was available to me. I was also informed that dishes would be altered if there were dishes I wanted. I was able to enjoy a tremendous authentic Turkish meal. My dining companions were all delighted with their choice too. I can recommend this restaurant for anyone who has food allergies in the confidence that the staff take dietary needs serious and demonstrate their knowledge of the ingredients across their menu. Wonderful experience.

We had a voucher today. Again the food and service was impeccable. The restaurant just know how to look after people and are so consistent in food quality it is one restaurant that we will always visit. 🙂. Fantastic. Thank you. Steve B.

Everything fabulous. Service food location. We will definitely be back.

Arrived here with no reservation on a busy Friday evening, was seated immediately. The food was exquisite at a super reasonable price, our server was the most lovely smiley helpful girl. It was a pleasure to eat here and I'd highly recommend

Wanted table for 1 at 8pm, tables free. Turned away saying quiet night and I couldn't order food. I was.looking forward to something different to eat.

Had the lunchtime special. There was enough to eat and it was really tasty. Good value for money. We would definitely come again. Thank you.

What a wonderful find, food was amazing and prices good too All 6 of us enjoyed our experience after our long walk it was most welcoming

Outstanding food, amazing flavours and cooked to perfection. Really friendly staff. Quaint and comfortable environment. Highly recommend and will be going back...

A beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere! We visited as a group of three- the pricing was really good & the service was excellent The food tasted really authentic and all the meat was perfectly cooked! Would definitely recommend for a night in Harrogate!

We had the pleasure of eating at this Turkish restaurant this evening. A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, and the chef's specialty was an absolute delight. Paired with a refreshing Turkish beer, it made for a fantastic meal. As visitors to the area, we were thrilled to have found this gem. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Thank you!

Excellent restaurant really great friendly and attentive staff Food was delicious well cooked and presented The house red was also very pleasant and quality Very authentic Booking is advisable Lots of good bars around the restaurant which are worth a visit pre dining

Good food, friendly staff. Nice atmosphere, not traditional Turkish but tasteful.

Delicious food, cozy restuarant. Helpful staff.

This fabulous restaurant just gets better! The owner and his staff take a real pride in providing a genuine warm welcome from your arrival. Dining here is like going to a friends or family home; you just feel relaxed, well looked after and with menu and specials for every discerning taste. Casual, cosy, comfortable, for couples or friends. Its accolades and awards well deserved. Your staff knowledgeable, polite and so well trained - and happy too!

We came here for lunch without any booking and a young lady with lovely smile welcomed us. From beginning to end she was excellent and attentive. The food was great and atmosphere was very authentic. First time we've been but will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Delicious , like home cooking. Generous portions. One of the best Turkish restaurants we’ve experienced.

Fantastic food, highly recommend 👌👌

So we turned up in Harrogate after a 5 1/2 hour drive and discovered this place. No booking. We were accommodated by the owner to a lovely table. The chef showed his head and promised us he could cook. We ordered food and wine and sat back to inhale the atmosphere. The place was quite busy, but all the staff were very attentive, but not at all pushy. The tables were clean and laid out well. We chose a good wine and it went with the food very well. The owner kept checking to see if we were ok, and the banter was good. The food was delicious, superbly cooked, good portions and excellent value. After, we sat outside trying to think of something negative. There is a negative - Its 200 miles from our home!! That’s the only negative. Great place, great staff, great food. Thank you for a lovely meal.

First time trying this restaurant. Service was on top form and the food was awesome. Definitely recommend - we chose the meat platter. Loved it. Will Definitely return to try something different.

Went in on a Tuesday evening around 19.30, the staff were welcoming and friendly. We opted for the Konak Grill for 2. The food was amazing, very tasty and cooked to perfection. The portions weren’t massive, could have easily eaten more.

The food is good and the service is excellent

Had an awesome time at Konak Meze Turkish Cuisine! The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff made us feel right at home. We kicked things off with the meze platter, which was a great mix of flavors. The hummus and stuffed wine leaves were especially tasty. For the main course, I had the kuzu Sish which was super tender and delicious, while my friend loved the mixed grill (konak grill). Service was great – everyone was nice, especially one young lady waitress who was just perfect. She was super friendly.We wrapped up with some amazing baklava, which was the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. If you’re into Turkish food or just want to try something new, I highly recommend checking out Konak Meze. You won’t be disappointed!

Delicious food, except we were not able to sit outside as the group was slightly too big.

The restaurant boasts a cozy atmosphere and exceptionally friendly service. However, in terms of food flavors, it falls short of being among my top 5 Turkish restaurants in the UK. The beef and chicken skewers are disappointingly chewy, and the Turkish bread is merely average. While the ambiance is pleasant, the cuisine doesn't quite meet expectations for a standout Turkish dining experience.

Wow! What a find! Went for lunch with my sister and had the most amazing time. The service was amazing, the food was superb, very reasonably priced and the facilities were lovely and clean. The staff are more than happy to help you in any way they can and are very knowledgeable. The Turkish Delight ice cream is to die for!!! Family friendly and a quiet haven in the busy town centre. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed an authentic Turkish coffee served the Turkish way.

Brilliant food on the fixed price menu, lots of choices.

A smart and welcoming restaurant for a family reunion. Excellent, authentic Turkish cuisine with good flavour and presentation. Staff attentive and very courteous.

Has been one of the best restaurants in Harrogate for some time. The lunch Meze menu is an absolute bargain. We were very late and just missed the 4 pm cut-off point. The staff were incredibly understanding and accommodating. The food was lovely. Thank you.

Excellent lunch, lovely staff, highly recommend

Amazing food and service. If you're in Harrogate, Highly recommended.

Really fantastic dining experience last night with a group of girlfriends. The food was delicious and felt really authentic. The staff are attentive but not over-bearing and were super-friendly. Would highly recommend.

In line with the standard of Turkish food, Turkish chefs 👨🏻‍🍳 are recommended!

We loved our meal here. We sat outside, it was a lovely evening. Great food and service, Rowan gets a special mention!

This is an excellent restaurant. The food is good and the service is exemplary. Well done!

Another great meal here. My squid dish was absolutely delicious and would be happy to have it again if there weren't so many other tempting offers!

Lovely friendly family run restaurant. Quality of food was fantastic and staff very welcoming. Food was brought out fast and was delicious.

The best sharing platter I have ever had! Never really tried Turkish cuisine before and boy was this an incredible introduction. The hot sharing platter (highly recommend) included lots of different traditional foods and I thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, we shared between 4 of us but I'd have happily had it all to myself! The rest of the food was good and prices were reasonable for the quality of the food we received. Would recommend a visit.

Lovely all round…. Food, service, friendliness, atmosphere. Will definitely be back Caters for Vegetarians. Situated in a quiet area close to town. Limited on street parking, more parking 5 mins away.

We visited here on the 2nd night of our Harrogate weekend. It was Saturday night and the staff were very accommodating to squeeze us in without a reservation as the restaurant was full. The food was excellent and I recommend the slow cooked leg of lamb special. The waiting staff were very young but super-keen to please and this all added to the charm of the place. The owner was leading the hospitality and took a real interest in our experience. This is a definite visit again.

Fantastic food &: service always very welcoming lots of choices by fair the best restaurant in Harrogate looking forward to next time

Second time here when visiting Harrogate as we just had to return. Quite a small restaurant but very well done. Excellent service from friendly staff but the food is outstanding. We had a meat platter to share and it was delicious. Highly recommended.

A warm welcome and the most courteous service followed by the wonderful cuisine of Harrogate’s finest Turkish chef. Always a night to remember. Thank you.

At the beginning of April we spent a long weekend in Harrogate. On Friday evening we decided to eat something out, I found Konak Meze on the Internet and without prior reservation we went to this restaurant. We managed to get a table. The food turned out to be delicious, fresh and full of flavors. The service was very nice, caring about its guests and not intrusive. A very pleasant culinary experience. The place is definitely worth recommending.

We visited this restaurant twice on this trip to Harrogate which is our favourite town in the UK. The food was great quality and really tasty and the service was excellent. We enjoyed our dinner last night so much that we returned for lunch today. I have to say the special lunch menu is very misleading as they advertise 3 Meze starters + a drink for £14.95 which sounds like a very good offer. However they dont mention that the 3 starters are sample size and only a fraction of the size of the normal starters. I think it is much better to go for the normal menu unless you want to taste their different dishes. We still enjoyed our lunch and I thoroughly recommend this place.

Had the two course lunch special. Pleasant service and very good food. Hummus was excellent, served with delicious bread. Chicken main was very good, though not very generous (maybe lunch special is smaller portion?)

A first class experience in every respect. The menu was varied and the dishes we chose were very flavoursome. The ambiance in the restaurant was high quality with knowledgable and friendly service. Linen napkins added to the quality presentation. For the quality of food and service it was excellent value. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Harrogate.

Delightful. Friendly, welcoming, warm...with superb food. Thoroughly recommend!

Welcoming, friendly and warm. Delicious meal. Mixed starter was super followed by great mains. Thank you!! Thoroughly recommend.

Had a great night out with friends. Akil was friendly, professional and an excellent waiter. The atmosphere and food were spot on. We will all definitely be returning in the near future.

We were in Harrogate for a conference. A Harrogate resident led us to this restaurant, all the way telling us how good it is. It was busy but Firat found us a table. Two of us had the lamb special, which was so tender and delicious. Another had the kofta, which was also lovely. All the staff were very helpful and efficient, especially Firat.

A really lovely restaurant. The place has a good ambience and the food and service were first rate. The starters and main courses were beautiful, with fresh herbs and bursting with flavour. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely return.

Excellent service and friendly staff

Perfect for events like birthdays, fathers Day, or Mother's Day

Such a lovely restaurant, fantastic food, great service and value for money. We had the lunch time special (3 small plates) and all 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We weren’t rushed and spent time after eating enjoying a Turkish coffee and conversation. Cannot recommend enough.

Nice experience, ordered the mixgrill ,was good amount for 2 persons, good vibes and friendly staff.

Another amazing meal, but this time bought the rest of the family with me. We all thought it was fantastic.. Amazing food and great staff. Thankyou for a lovely afternoon.

Very good. We didn't book ahead, and thankfully, they had availability on a Saturday evening. We were celebrating a birthday and only had to wait for a few minutes at the bar for a table to become available. Service was very good, but there was no complimentary drink or dessert for the celebration. However, it was well worth the visit and reasonably priced.

Once again ten out of ten! Arrived with my favourite companion in the world and even though the restaurant was full, we were still cared for by Firat and his friendly and professional team who delivered us (the best we’ve ever had) deep fried calamari, crispy salad and warm Turkish bread, followed by the juiciest and most tasty chicken and old school chunks chips. I particularly liked the seasonal table flowers and as seen in the accompanying picture, this Turkish red wine is one of the best. Thanks again for such a great experience 👏

My wife and I returned here having visited a number of years ago. We booked because it was Valentine's night and they had reserved us a nice window seat. An excellent meal indeed at a fair price considering current high product prices. Lovely fresh Turkish bread to start with olive oil dip. My lamb kebab main was beautiful and I've eaten enough over the years for experience. Lovely soft lamb cubes, nicely flavoured and served with good quality saute potatoes and fresh salad. Attention to detail from the kitchen clearly evident here in the presentation. My wife also had lamb in a stew with rice, also delicious, no fatty portions, just lovely lean lamb. Gratis portion of Turkish delight to finish. Friendly and polite service No hesitation to recommend even for a discerning diner and we will return when in Harrogate Edward and Christine McAlpine

First time I've been to a Turkish restaurant and I have to say it was excellent food was brilliant and not that expensive I recommend you try this restaurant you won't be disappointed 👍🙂

Most amazing meal and most amazing customer service. The waiter was outstanding. Will definitely be going back as soon as possible

This is our second visit, and was the second place we booked after a Turkish Baths session. The experience is cosy, being an end-terrace it's like being in someone's home, with staff friendlier than some family members! The food is fantastic, freshly cooked and good value for money, and as for the Turkish Apple Tea...love it! The semolina cookies were not what I expected, more cake than cookie and soaked in a honey syrup, but my partner made sure they didn't go to waste. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with them, they just weren't to my taste, something to be aware of if you're expecting a crisp cookie!

My husband and I had the most amazing meal here on Saturday night. The staff were so friendly, the ambiance was perfect and OMG the food was delicious. This was the first time we have been here but we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Excellent food, and the staff are really friendly and attentive. They had time to chat to us and ask why we were visiting Harrogate. Our group holiday in Turkey, and the food here was as good as any of the restaurants we visit whilst on holiday. The prices are comparable to most restaurants in the UK, so not overly expensive. The food was piping hot and tasty and service was prompt, but we didn’t feel rushed. Will definitely visit again if in Harrogate.

Excellent service. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many gluten free dishes. Lamb dish as a special was better than the same dish in Turkey. Will try and visit again.

Amazing food. We took advantage of the meze lunchtime deal. Everything was perfect. The staff and service was spot on. Will return when we are in Harrogate again.

Went on 10th Feb for the first time..very clean.friendly and quick service even though it was busy. Very nice food. Highly recommend this place. We will be back

First time here. really busy as a conference in town. Had to book a table for a 2hr slot only, although I guess no time limit when quiet. Good quality, traditional Turkish food. Kalamar starter was perfectly cooked, Chef Special (lamb cooked on the bone stew), was great. House wine by the carafe was fine, but relatively expensive. Staff pleasant enough considering how busy they were.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly,efficient staff and gorgeous food. Excellent choice of starters,mains and sides. The restaurant was quite busy for early Sunday evening and the staff ensured everyone was made welcome

Wonderful meal - five stars for every aspect. The food was authentic, flavoursome and fresh, made with a finesse. I like that the menu isn’t too long yet offers a fantastic mix of meze starters, vegetarian, meat and fish dishes, specials and deserts. The lamb-stuffed aubergine was fantastic. Good wine menu including Turkish wines as well as European and new world, plus decent beers and ales. The restaurant is located in what used to be an old Georgian house in the centre of town, the setting gives a warm, well lit, cosy ambiance with (importantly!) good acoustics so you can enjoy a conversation. Friendly and discrete service, no charge for extras such as bread and table water. Highly recommend. Will return, including for the daytime cafe set up.

We had a fantastic meal. All our food tasted fresh and vibrant and the service was excellent. It was our first time there, we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We visited with friends and were welcomed warmly. The food was amazing and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. Many thanks to you all.

Another excellent experience at this lovely restaurant. Food and service were first class. Very welcoming and they understand how to make a meal out special with good service.

Ottoman taste of Turkish food, some dishes never tasted before. Karnıyarık was lush stuffed aubergine with lamb, nice and succulent. Generous portions, felt a bit pressurised to order more starters by the waiter which was a bit uncomfortable.

Outstanding experience this weekend. From the moment we were greeted at the door we knew we were in for a treat. The staff were polite and friendly, the venue is intimate and the food spectacular. Harrogate is worth a visit but our main motivator from now on will be Konak Meze.

My wife and I ate at this restaurant tonight. Everything about our experience was first class. The food, the service, and the ambience were all superb. I recommend the Hummus, the Fine Beans, and any of the Lamb dishes. Everything was of the highest quality. It is so refreshing to be served by staff who seem to genuinely enjoy their job. We will definitely be back.

Went to Harrogate with my family just to visit the town for several hours. I Looked up nearby restaurants and this was one of the choices that came up. The food was irresistible and the staff were extremely kind. This restaurant left my family and I with a lovely impression of Harrogate. I would 100% go here again.

Fantastic as always. This Turkish is a hidden gem and well worth a vist. The staff are so friendly and the food is fantastic.

We picked this restaurant by chance without any booking. Very welcoming and friendly service. Plenty of options to select from the menu including traditionals. We were a family of four. We had a bottle of red wine, Arnavut Ciğeri (pan fried lamb liver in a tasty sauce) for starter, Ali Nazik (lamb on aubergine sauce), Kuzu Şiş (lamb on a skewer), Konak Grill (mixed grill) as mains, Baklava with ice cream as desert and Turkish coffee (husband got double raki) although some options not in the list to select for recommendation. Everything was delicious, prompt and would definitely recommend.

Great food, staff fantastic. Brilliant as usual

The food here is fresh and delicious. Lots to choose from. Service is excellent and the staff are really helpful. Great value for money. Book in advance though because it gets very busy..... no wonder!

We had a fabulous meal with superb service. Booked at late notice and they could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant. X

My first time at Konak Meze. Very tasty. Will definitely be back!

Lovely early evening meal deal Hot delicious food

Overpriced and barely even kids portions,im not a big eater but had to go home and cook myself after a 100 bill.!Sukuk starter was 1 cocktail sausage sliced up,it did taste nice but are sausages really so expensive these days?mains were ok but just all potato and few cubes of chicken.I have eaten in other turkish resturants in harrogate and will definatly be going back to them,much better quality and bigger portions for a fraction of the price.

Homely restaurant and very friendly and attentive staff. Food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. Would highly recommend.

This place is fantastic! Lovely staff, incredible food and really knowledgeable about gluten free options. I could pretty much have everything and they had gf bread to accompany starters. The mixed grill was BRILLIANT. If you eat one at one place in Harrogate then make it this one! Cannot recommend this place enough. Will absolutely come again next time we are in Harrogate.

Excellent meal, excellent service.

Great restaurant, food and service was lovely. Good atmosphere. Very clean Very authentic flavours and enjoyed eating there. Would definitely return if I visit Harrogate again

We are always very happy with the delicious food and superb service Excellent value 2 course dinner. Have been a few times and My Mum and I live this place

Had a lovely meal here last night. Made welcome, great service and most of all food superb. Flavorsome, fresh and well presented.Asked for wine recommendation and didn't try to upsell us. We had the house red and delicious, will try more Turkish wine! Appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and service both from experienced staff and new younger staff. Already recommended to family and we will revisit when next in Harrogate.Thanks.

My wife and I had a meal here and we could not have had a nicer experience. The service was excellent, the food the same, in a great atmosphere. My wife is dairy, gluten, and egg free and that did not create any issues so thank you!

Felt compelled to write a review after what was an utterly delicious meal. Every single bit of everything we ate was quite simply outstanding. The selection of cold meze we started with all had a wonderful depth of flavour and a real sense of freshness; the best I can remember ever having. The main courses were amazing; my partner raved over the Imam Bayildi that she had while I was lucky enough to try the lamb special of the day. Slow cooked lamb in a lovely rich sauce with veg and potatoes. The lamb was beautifully tender and incredibly flavoursome. The whole dish was fantastic, even down to the small pieces of carrot that were among the accompanying veg. I’ve been eating carrots for over 50 years and I genuinely can’t remember eating carrot that was cooked and flavoured so perfectly! A small detail, but we found that every detail of the food, small and large was simply amazing. Needless to say that the next time we are back in Harrogate we will be beating a path straight back to this wonderful restaurant.

Very warm welcome and very good service. Very nice card. As for the dishes, simply excellent. A great surprise.
