La Turka Bistro in Salford

Food is very disappointing but service is good!

Really good food and atmosphere. Friendly manager and staff too

A solid place to go for a drink and a bite to eat. Casual atmosphere, nice waiters and good decor.

Regulars throughout the summer, a great place to just sit on the sunny side of Monton high street and enjoy great food and wine. Visited recently with 3 generations of our family, Rebecca and the team as always looked after us, great atmosphere and the decor is wonderful. For such a large menu and busy restaurant I’m always amazed by how quickly the food arrives, but always fresh and appetising.

Had Christmas Dinner here yesterday.......Amazing, food was excellent, the only fault for me was just the huge amount! Very good value and very good service.

Definitely recommend this place, A1 service

Excellent food and service. Sea Bass excellent . Good food and service is all one can expect and La Turka delivered and the some - The restaurant went above and beyond, lost car keys, they drove me home to get spare keys !!!

Lovely Xmas meal, delicious food and lots of it. Wonderful evening complete with belly dancer!

From the moment we walked in, it was clear the staff were far more interested in their phones than the customers. We waited ages to be seated because the hostess was glued to her screen. Once at our table, getting anyone’s attention was like pulling teeth—several servers were scrolling and texting instead of looking after diners. When we finally managed to order, the service was slow, and not once did anyone check on us during the meal. Plates sat on the table long after we’d finished eating, while the staff huddled near the bar, phones in hand. It’s insulting to pay for a meal only to feel like an inconvenience to the people who are supposed to serve you. If management doesn’t address this unprofessional behavior, I won’t be coming back—and neither should anyone who values good service.

I came here for a Christmas Party with my colleagues and this was a really nice restaurant with great food choices, I liked the way they had some healthier options as well. I had sea bass as a main, and smoked salmon with asparagus as a starter which tasted great. The pink decor was gorgeous, and the live music and belly dancing addition was also pretty unique and fun. Service was standard, they accept cash as well as card. Prices are moderate. It was my first time to Monton but this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I would like to come again on a normal day and try the regular menu too.

Lovely place, very nice staff and the atmosphere was beautiful!

Came here tonight as a party of 25 to celebrate my daughters 18th and the place was amazing, the staff were helpful catered to all our needs and provided us with a lovely little area so we could celebrate ! The food was 10/10 cannot fault it whatsoever we had 3 courses and a variety of dishes and all was amazing we would definitely recommend and we will be returning. Thank you to all the staff !!

We had a very good dinner there, everything was delicious and the waiters were very friendly and attentive. Very good atmosphere too. I recommend it 100% quality/price, it is the best in the city. Greetings from your friends from Valencia, Spain!

My friend and I were looking for a brunch place in Morton last minute this morning. I had been to La Turka in the past for dinner, but never since they refurbished into Blossom Bistro. I didn't know they did brunch so that was a lovely surprise, the brunch menu had plenty of choice for both vegetarian and meat options. Food was delicious, service was really friendly and decor was gorgeous! I'll return again for brunch now that I know =)

Went for mums 80th, lovely food and great atmosphere

I have a pasta there couple of.times and grill dishes always taste amazing, highly recommend the place, staff are very friendly and helpful

We only discovered this place the other day and have been twice so far. Excellent food, good value, and friendly service

My food wasn't too good. The service was great and I liked the atmosphere.

Review having only ever day outside I cannot review on the inside of the restaurant as both visits have been seated outdoors The service was quick and drinks order was taken quickly The wine was nice and cold The food was what you would hope for. Quick, tasty and served with a smile. Happy to return

A really nice dining experience. We were a family of four and the price was under £80. 2 of our party were children. The food was delicious.

the food was delicious as always I love this place one of my favourite places to go out for a meal too x but as it was a takeout it arrived cold which was disappointing xx wouldn't put me off going in for a meal again though xx

Came here for my birthday and the birthday baklava was really good.

Great place , great food , amazing customer service, and verry good shows

First (and last time) ordering from them unfortunately. Missed one of my items, said delivery 8.45, then 9pm, then 9.20. Food was luke warm. BBQ chicken was not wings and really bland. Meatballs chewy and had lots of gristle. Popcorn chicken tiny pieces and overcooked/almost burnt. Fries drenched in oil and mushy.

A great local restaurant with a wide-ranging mediterranean menu.

It’s my second time dining here and I can tell you for a fact it’s a great spot. For food, ambience, everything!! Will be visiting again soon, I plan to taste their entire menu. Very affordable meals, gourmet style.

Love the new decor , friendly staff ,good food and great pricing

This was perfection. What a gem. Will return for sure. We were welcomed, the food was wonderful, the child with us was very welcome also and her food was much enjoyes. How lovely!

Food delivered on time. Driver was very friendly. My chicken wings and onion rings were both gorgeous. The portion size was generous and larger than expected

Awesome place with good ambiance, service and food

Me and my wife went there on saturday for lunch and it was our first time . we were surprised by food, amazing food, fast service even in busy time. I strongly advice this place, even the price in comparison to other place ls with this quality is nothing.

We booked a large group booking of over 60 people for after our wedding ceremony. Rebecca tha Manager was fantastic from start to finish. We couldnt of asked for a better experience. So a huuuuuge thanks to all the staff for making our day extra special. Thanks again. Wayne & Donna x

Booked a table for 5pm for 8 including 2 young children. Food fabulous, best cheese and spinach parcels anywhere. Service brilliant and kids ate olives rice loving their kids deserts. Will deffo be making here a monthly family outing.

Lovely decor but I think style over substance is the order of the day here. Nachos were lovely but my halloumi fajitas main was swimming in oil and had massive chunks of soggy onion. The portion was certainly generous - so much so that the little I ate of it kept on giving me indigestion throughout the night. Staff were pleasant and attentive throughout.

Visited recently and was extremely disappointed by the rude behavior of the staff. From the moment we walked in, they seemed disinterested and were unhelpful when we asked simple questions. The server even rolled their eyes when we requested a small change to our order. It's a shame because the place itself seemed nice, but the attitude of the staff made the whole experience quite unpleasant. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

That is a good score for me i never give 5

Can not fault the food but the service needs improving, after getting our order wrong then still charging for items we didn't have then using foul language in earshot of our table complaining because she had to amend the bill for a mistake she made in the first place.

I’ve been here twice, the first time was amazing. Food, staff and the customers around made us feel so comfortable, i would’ve given it 5* then. The atmosphere was fab. We decided to go a second time as we seen it on the NeoTaste app. I showed the waitress my reservation on NeoTaste and she shut me down. She said the manager has been trying to get it off there site for a long time and stated it’s an error and they don’t use that app and refused to accept my booking. Very cold, not like the waitresses the first time. I reported this to NeoTaste and they told me the waitress was wrong! I can’t stress how lovely it was the first time, but I don’t think I’ll be in a rush to go back a 3rd time now.

Been to la turka for dinner and must say it was absolutely delicious we all thoroughly enjoyed it and will be returning without a shadow of a doubt, the chorizo Ash was incredible and my partner had steak & eggs & said same 100% recommend!

Special lunchtime menus at start of week, vary according to day. Meaty Tuesday mixed grill very reasonably priced. Turkish food is very tasty, though not elegant. Staff attentive.

First time in Monton and after a few drinks with friends went to this restaurant for some traditional Turkish food. A good atmosphere, service was efficient and the food was very good. Had a great evening.

I recently dined at Blossom Bistro and had an incredible experience. The food was amazing, unlike anything I've ever had before. Every dish was delicious and full of flavour. The menu is outstanding and well-thought-out. Thank you, Blossom Bistro, for an unforgettable meal!

It looks really great after the refurb. We went on a rather hot day, so were a bit sweltering with no air con, but I don't think this will be a problem with normal UK weather! The food was much improved from previous visits. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

This place has really upped its game from La Turka I left feeling like I had had a proper meal well done

We booked a table for 8:30pm and when we arrived our table wasn’t ready we was asked to wait by the manager Rebecca which we didn’t mind waiting at all it wasn’t a problem. Rebecca was so nice and couldn’t apologise enough for our wait which was only about 15 minutes. When a table come available Rebecca made sure it was clean ASAP and took us to our table still apologising the service was very good and food was amazing couldn’t fault it. The atmosphere was really nice ans even had live entertainment will definitely be going there again.

Such a lovely place to have a nice time out 😍🥰🥰

had a great time here with my family the other night. the lady who was serving us was amazing!! however there was a mix up with someone else’s order on the bill at the end but she quickly rectified it. food was really good however my lamb skewer was quite chewy and my dads fajitas were quite oily but on the whole really good! will be coming back again x

Very hit and miss food wise. A huge amount on the menu which can be a bit of a curse. Service was slow but there was a huge amount of clientele to be fair. Nice atmosphere, very instagrammable. Outdoor seating on the front street

dont let these reviews fool u - as someone who never leaves reviews i felt i had to, a beautiful restaurant with bad quality food with even worse expensive prices- the only good thing was the decor, very disappointing and a waste of money

Gorgeous food ,and lovely baklava for pud

Beautiful place, food was delish. Service was amazing especially Laura who made sure we were always okay and nothing was to much trouble. This is my new fav place 😁

This was our first visit to Blossom last Saturday and unfortunately I've had to score the atmosphere down due to a large party that were extremely loud and rude to staff (especially young lady serving) if you want fast food then perhaps wetherspoons or McDonald's would be more your thing. The food, freshly cooked to order was amazing we had the sharer mixed grill (after starters) and it was all gorgeous although we really didn't need to order starters but wanted to try everything our eyes bigger than our stomachs! Staff were polite and attentive despite also managing the large, loud and rude party. We would definitely recommend just hope there's no large groups in!

Everytine i ordered stuff there was something missing, and when i rang them i always been told “oh next time ring us directly and we will give us something complimentary” they never offer you anything as good will or if you ordered consistently like over 100£ you get nothing as extra as complimentary and the portions are rather small some of them. I ordered because they have good food but there always seems to be something wrong with the order or something missing.

Could not star this it all it was a big let done after having pre ordered the food we still had none after an hour x the staff and management were very rude and un apologetic x when the starters came they were not pleasant with their service in the end we left without having had our mains . Would not return here

Really disappointed with this restaurant and staff. We were a hen party of 17 and had pre booked and pre ordered food 2 months prior to attending. We arrived at 6.30pm and were politely greeted and seated at our table (no complaints at this point it was really pleasant). 7.30pm came and there was still no sign of food. When questioned, staff said they were sorry but the restaurant was really busy. We understood, however, could not understand how we hadn’t even been served starters considering we had all pre ordered off a set menu. Complimentary Prosecco was given out which again was a lovely gesture, however at 7.45pm starters only just started arriving. They came out so few and far between that I had finished before some had even got theirs. One of our party then asked for some parmesan cheese to which a staff member replied you didn’t f**k**g order any. Everyone was really shocked by this response from a member of staff. The bride got upset as she wanted her hen party to perfect as any bride would want. We made the decision to get up and leave at this point as we were not going to be spoken to like that. Such a shame because as I say I was one of the lucky ones to get a starter and my food was delicious when it arrived. It may have been down to the sheer volume of custom in the restaurant or maybe staff shortage. Who knows, however as a hen party of 17 who had all paid deposits and pre booked 2 months prior, Id of expected to be a little more prioritised. My advice would be to attend this restaurant in small numbers or not at all if you don’t want members of staff swearing at you.

Wonderful experience, food was amazing and a great atmosphere. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Looking forward to coming back here.

I first visited at the end of last year when it was La Turka and was highly impressed with both the service, food and the entertainment. The food and atmosphere were exceptional and I vowed to return. I went again last night with friends now it has become Blossom Bistro by La Turka and have to say it was very disappointing. The restaurant has lost its authenticity and charm and the menu is now a mish mash of Mediterranean, Turkish and Italian food. The decor is borderline tacky but perfect if you’re one of those Instagram ‘influencers’. The food wasn’t particularly memorable and the service was poor. We were there over two hours and didn’t even have a starter. The live singer was singing depressing songs which made me want to go to sleep or do worse. I don’t know why they have transformed it- why mess with something that wasn’t broken? Such a shame. Will not be returning.

Visited for Fathers Day. Good was hot and very tasty. Plenty of choice on the menu.

Good food, service and atmosphere, would definitely come back again 👌

It was our first time visiting Blossom and we where blown away. The service was incredible, every detail was seen to from wine recommendations to refilling our empty glasses as the waitresses passed us. Thanks so much for a wonderful date night. We will be back soon!

Saturday morning brunch and was such a lovely place and decor beautiful..... Breakfast was only just warm but tasted amazing. Good price at £11 but would have been better to have a hot drink included.... £3.50 for a coffee was a little pricey I thought. I'd certainly go again and just ask for food to be hot when I order.

Absolutely wonderful experience and fabulous food and drink excellent friendly staff would highly recommend

Food was fantastic had the mix grill, service was great brilliant night had

Stunning location on the High St in Monton The coffee is excellent, made with coffee beans from the local roastary … 👍☕️☕️ The background music was, in my opinion, the wrong genre for the time of day (11.00) … having coffee and or brunch should be a relaxing experience not a rave 😉 I’ve been back a second time and was able to sit outside … not sure I’d go back inside unless the music calms down. The gentleman barrister was very helpful and accommodating 👍 Definitely give this place a try 👍👍👍 #cotsaward @cotsaward

Had a family meal tonight for my granddaughter Baileys 17th birthday. 3 adults 2 teenagers a child and a baby . Staff were so welcoming and led us to a table where we could be seated with the babies pram . Lovely attentive staff. Food was amazing thank you chefs and the place itself is so beautiful. Felt like I was on holiday.Night was made even more special when they brought her a birthday brownie out with a candle and a sparkler and sang happy birthday much to her embarrassment haha . Was a fabulous few hours would definitely recommend as they are so nice in there . So thank you la turka for a wonderful night keep up the good work xxx peace and love to you all xxx

Really delicious breakfast, highly recommend the Shakshuka and chorizo eggs. Sourdough was delicious!

Absolutely delicious food and great service!! Will definitely be going again! 😃

Visited twice since it opened. What a beautiful place. Definitely a ladies who lunch place. Lovely staff/food/cleanliness. Best Caesar salad I’ve had in a long time! We will be back.

haven't been here since the restaurant turned to Blossom, it's definitely been a great change as the food was amazing. The halloumi fajitas were incredible, starters were so fresh and delicious, amazing cocktails and the staff were wonderful. We sat outside as we had the dog, so it was perfect. Really chill vibes, lovely place

Been today (Sun 12th May) - first time since the revamp. Looks really lovely. Main meal was really good and a decent portion size; the sticky toffee pudding was really disappointing - dry and glaggy in the mouth. Had far superior from the supermarket. The service was the most disappointing - ordered drinks before even looking at the food menu (soft drink) and it still hadn’t arrived by the time the food was served. Had to ask. Quick to dive and remove an empty plate even though my friend was still eating and a few minutes later they removed her plate even though she was still eating her chips (they were in their own receptacle but I found it rude nevertheless). Then sat waiting for ages to order more drinks and dessert. Had to call someone over eventually and the same happened again; one drink brought over and after waiting for ages had to ask for the other. First dessert that came out for my friend was wrong and had to be sent back. Just found the staff disinterested and really lacking in customer service so suffice to say the service charge was removed. I very very rarely do that but come on La Turka, your environment may have blossomed but your staff certainly have not.

The mixed grill has always been my go-to, but today left much to be desired, like more than just 2 chunks of chicken. Last time, I was given 2 fillets of chicken, but oh well, and the cookie dough sadly came out with a chunk of burnt crust. We were made aware it'd take 8 minutes to make, but come on lads get it right for crying out loud. Kudos for the single origin hot chocolates by the way and lastly, please watch the volume on your happy birthday music because where we were sat was like nightclub levels until the song ended.

Took the Grandkids for lunch today. Huge choice on the kids menu, pizzas were massive! Prices were really reasonable considering the portion sizes. Staff were lovely! Would definitely recommend!

Decided to try this place again after at least 5 years and glad we did Service, food and atmosphere lovely Not the cheapest and don't like the service charge on the bill

Perfect brunch spot on Monton high street.

Lovely evening spent in here. Great food and decent prices!

1st timer and wouldnt hesitate to recommend, lovely decor, good staff and the food is fantastic and fairly priced, so much nicer than similarly priced pubs rests etc very freshly made too

From the greeting at the door to our exit, I couldn't fault anything. The serving staff were attentive and courteous, the food excellent. My friend has various culinary needs, which are always met. That's why we always return. Nothing is too much trouble.

Delicious food, friendly helpful staff and lovely cocktails. Have really good entertainment on too. Can’t wait to come back ☺️

Had a great night in here. It had a really lovely atmosphere and great food. The cocktails were amazing. Really enjoyed it. We will be back! Perfect for a girly get together.

As a regular for over 5 years , absolutely loving the new decor . Great to see some new additions on the menu to . Stil the same great food staff always . Came for my birthday LOVED it as always !! Nothing is ever to much trouble , are go to restaurant. Rebecca and her team are fantastic with the kids to and to our family and extended family as we have lots of family gatherings here . We will be back in soon 🩷thank you for looking after us on my birthday x

Visited for breakfast/brunch on a Sunday morning. It was really busy! Brilliant service, beautiful food, I can see why it's such a popular place. Love the new re-design and new menu. I've already booked again, this time for a Saturday night!

Omg! We had the most amazing evening at blossom last weekend! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. They were incredibly accommodating and friendly The food was stunning! The live music also added some a special atmosphere to our evening. Can’t wait to go back!

Food is absolutely exceptional and the staff are so friendly and always on hand whenever you need them. The atmosphere is already amazing as well, such a beautiful restaurant all round

Absolutely love this place, the new decor is stunning. The food is as its always been, excellent, served quickly, hot and tasty. Cocktail menu is second to none! and the staff well what can I say friendly, attentive and so welcoming...I for one will definitely be vising again ...and again

The Brunch is always a winner here. Eggs any which way, and always served with a smile. A lovely relaxed space to sit and pull the laptop out. The new speciality coffee is delicious, too! 😍

Been coming here on and off for years and always had good experience. Price increase noted and the 10% service charge already added to the bill - not keen on this, I do tip but think it should be choice rather than pushed on you..... Service was poor, food arrived before the drinks - had to remind them of the drinks, asked for mayonnaise and didn't get any. Staff looked fed up and barely smiled. Shame as the food was good if a little over priced.

My husband and I love the food in this restaurant. The decor is lovely and every member of staff is so friendly and welcoming

Went in on Sunday and the service was so poor, left waiting 30 minutes for 2 hot drinks, brought the wrong food to the table multiple times and they still put the service charge on the bill. The food itself was quite nice but theyve got the waiting service all wrong.

Quite a few of us paid from £40 to £60 per person. On entering seated straight away but had to ask after 10 mins of waiting, for a drink. Looks really nice inside. Music was too loud at one point, the waiter turned it down. We didn't think much of the singer, some depressing songs. The belly dancer was fabulous. Nachos: only had a top layer of cheese & the salsa was far too spicy. Lamb fajitas: lots of lamb but it was very tough & chewy. Capreze salad: was definitely not worth £5.95 Sea bass was very nice & well cooked. Waiters were very friendly & polite. However, service was very slow & we constantly had to keep asking. Service charge was put on the bill which we asked for them to take off.

Our table was booked for 2 of us but. We asked to get moved has it was. Very tiny space A lady called Natalie looked after us all thru our evening, there was a mix up with our main food order, but Natalie came over over & explained what had happened & offered a free bottle of wine, which I snapped the hand of for 🤣🤣, The only thing I feel bad bowt is we cdnt give Natalie a tip has we didn’t have cash on us Thankyou for good customer service Xx

Very disappointed that online menu is outdated, no 2 course lunch available as offered online Very little Turkish food

We have been to La Turka many times and the food is always good though the popcorn chicked tasted rubbery and micowaved all other courses very nice esp the Mezze and Garlic Chili Prawns. Before we ate after ordering drinks the waitress who was very friendly asked what we though of the decor that has been recently changed,my first thought was "It's like Barbie exploded in here". It's not that the decor is ugly or cheap,we felt the theme of the restaurant is a bit lost,for a place selling mostly turkish style food how does the menu link up with the decor and become La Turka's brand. Our friends who have never been before said from outside it looks like an ice cream parlour or a dessert shop,the identity has become a little lost,We didn't understand what Blosson meant either,if it was to tie it in to a new menu i'd undertsand but the menu is virtually the same. Also and this has been a problem for us previously,the music whilst entertaining is louder than it needed to be,we did have to shout out our coversations all the way through eating,the girl who sang had a good voice and a good selection of songs but it was just a bit too loud esp as we were sat near to some speakers which we weren't told when we were being seated. Good Food,Questionable Glow Up,We would come again though.

Never been so disappointed as local coming with my wife for at least 3 times a month for 4 years. The restaurant has seen investment but apart from a slightly more ‘Boujee’ look the restaurant has clearly forgotten its roots. Menu 15/20% price increase which you can appreciate given the times, but when some of the past favourites have been taken off the menu (lamb, chicken skewer tapas) and quantity downgraded then it’s hard to support. Example Feta triangles are low close to £1 more per portion and you now get 2 rather than 3 and the chicken wings for £7 (I don’t even need to go in to detail, just see the pictures…. There is more meat on a vegetable). Never been so disappointed for a local eatery that has been so so good and consistent go down the route of money over quantity, quality and even experience. The tables are now so close together you have to apologise to tables walking past… I really hope it’s a one off and the clearly less quantity more expensive food in a cramped new restaurant is a teething error since the re opening.

Great place for a lunch with friends

Food was tasty and good value for money, service was mixed..bit pushy to take orders even though it was quiet. Some staff smiled, some didn't 😕. On the whole, it was fine with nice light fittings 😃

Good food, really nice friendly waitress

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor was gorgeous! The staff were incredibly lovely! The pizzas were good just needed more flavour perhaps but was still very good! Would definitely reccomend and go again ☆

Gorgeous setting, beautiful food, amazing service! Lord of the grill sharer (feeds 2 people, possibly 3!) 48 quid...bargain...we added spicy fries on the side. Desserts were unreal, an Ultimate Chocolate Sundae, and a delicious Creme Brulee 😋 Definitely will not be my last time coming here ⭐️
