Laila Turkish Cuisine in Aberdeen City

Great Halal restaurant… very friendly staff, food was well presented, tasted amazing and everything was fresh… a little pricey but delicious meals (mixed grill & pide)…

Wonderful food served by people who are obviously passionate about providing the best in both food and service. Thank you!

Excellent atmosphere, hospitality and food.

It was great to find a friendly face and a pleasant conversation while abroad. It was also nice to drink a coffee that will be remembered for forty years.

Very good food and quick service just a pity they had run out of Baklava for dessert!

Fantastic food ,every dish was packed full of flavour and taste .bring your own alcoholic drinks ( small corkage fee). Will definitely return

Wonderful atmosphere and genuinely fantastic food! Portions were perfect and reasonably priced. Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful, ensuring that we had the best experience possible. I would highly recommend popping in for some baklavas, absolute masterpiece. Perfect place for a date

Went here for lunch and had the best Turkish meal we have ever had (outside of Turkey)! Everything was delicious and authentic and the staff were friendly and helpful too. My favourite items were the lahmacun (hot starter) and the pide! However I would recommend trying as much as you can as it's all delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

I didn't really like my main course, however the mezze was delicious as well as the homemade bread!! However, it remains excessively expensive for the quality of the meal!! The team was very warm and attentive!

We had a take out from here last night and it was the worst Turkish food we ever had, we both ordered Adna kebab, the quality was so bad, the meat was so hard as if it was cooked earlier in the week and they just warmed it up last night, the portion was so small that I don’t understand how they justify that against the prices that is so higher compare to other places in town, never ever!

Excellent food. I had Lamb kebab, and it was just perfect! So tender. Great service as well. Definitely coming back next time I am looking for some real Turkish food.

One of the best restaurants in Aberdeen. Always friendly staff making it a special experience. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. Great that you can BYOB with a cheap cover charge. Lucky to be local to such a great option in the city.

This is such a lovely restaurant with excellent service and delicious freshly cooked turkish food. There is the also the added bonus that you can bring your own bottle !! Will be back

Very enjoyable food and nice service. I'll definitely return when next time in Aberdeen.

Firstly the staff and owner were very good and attentive. However the food lacked any resemblance of true Turkish authenticity in terms of taste and presentation. The starters were OK but very small and lacked any ‘mezze’ feel that is the signature of any Turkish restaurant in any town or village in Turkey or indeed Nargile in Aberdeen. Why?? The mains, which we didn’t order until we had the small starters half finished due to other reviews saying that they arrive too quickly, were truly terrible with two of us leaving most of what was tasteless mush. To make matters worse there were none of the fish dishes available and then no ice cream and we had grandkids with us. No explanation and very disappointing. None of us can understand the many 5* reviews here and unfortunately won’t be going back and spending the best part of £200 for 4.

Absolutely first class food and service. Also BYO booze so that is a huge positive for overpriced drinks in many other restaurants. Please please please support local restaurants as opposed to overpriced and poor value chains there is no comparison and the food is out of this world. Recommend it all however the feta parcels, hummus and bread were very moreish!

Noisier than a children's playground First two choices of starters we were told unavailable 5pm Waitresses didn't know what was in the dishes when asked Ordered three starters half way through them waitress slams down our main meals without asking if we are ready etc Terrible service and noisy Not worth the price and the couple behind us didn't eat their dishes and thought the service and food were terrible when we bumped into them later on in the evening Save your money go buy a Turkish kebab at a takeaway as will taste better and better cheaper .one off if not the worst meal and experience I've had in many off a year in Aberdeen

Great food. The reasonable corkerage fee saves $$ too. We had a few kabob platters. Everything was delicious. Friendly service. A bit loud in the restaurant is only complaint.

Lovely place and amazing food - mixed grill was amazing, and with the mezze we definitely didn’t leave hungry!

This restaurant was an incredible experience! The interior atmosphere was beautifully modern, and the food was phenomenal! 10/10 recommend!

Absolutely fantastic Turkish breakfast . Everything super fresh and really tasty . Extremely generous portions too, Cannot recommend enough .

Just returning from Istanbul and finding out the prices are same & didn't find that great breakfast place there so Laila has amazing Turkish breakfast compared to any in Turkey I've been to. More food & better quality for £20/pp. You won't be disappointed. Only thing I wish they would offer is apple tea haha

Absolutely delicious, attentive but not intrusive service, a delight and I hope to be back!

Fresh and tasty meal. Friendly service. Flatbread was delicious. Lots of options for starters and mains. Olives were amazing.

Average turkish restaurant. The food is good and looks authentic, but its spiced a bit meh and the meat is overcooked. Drink choices are scarce. Atmosphere and service are a bit antiseptic in my opinion.

The best Turkish food I've ever had! We got complementary starter bread with 4 sides and we ordered the gavurdag salata, cheese and kavurma pide, grilled chicken iskender, lamb kofte iskender and mix kebab platter. I saw a review that said the portion size was really small, so we ended up ordering a lot. However, the portion size is really big. Had to get the rest packed. If you had to get only one thing off the menu I'd recommend the cheese and kavurma pide (10/10). Also, the owner Mr. Reza was incredibly attentive and kept checking in to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable.

The food was delicious so was the service. The owner was nice enough as to turn off the music when I started praying there and was very nice. It was the first time I had food that really tasted GOOD in Scotland.

Really great food, welcoming and polite staff.

Great food and amazing atmosphere, I can really recommend this place 😊

Nice service,but like Turkish food it was average,we have been eating much better

Perfect location in middle of the city. Good food that nourishes. Courteous staff.

Legit everything was so flavourful. And that complimentary starter bread is so amazing. I don't particularly like chicken breast, and I took it with me to have the next day. It was so succulent even the next day after being microwaved

This is a modern restaurant in the heart of Aberdeen. This was my first visit and I look forward to returning very soon. The manager made me feel very welcome and the service was friendly and not rushed. The food was fantastic and all the dishes I had were well presented, fresh and very tasty. Prices are reasonable and I was £30 for two courses and a shift drink. I am happy to recommend this restaurant to other diners.

Very good service and friendly.

Had amazing Turkish breakfast (and since we’re Turkish we’re familiar with what authentic breakfast entails)! Service was great, and staff friendly. Plenty of options for vegetarians as well :D

Lovely spot, currently BYOB. We are serious Nargile lovers, but this place has some of the tastiest Turkish food we have had in Aberdeen. Fresh , flavourful and fast. Keep up the good work please and we 💯 will be back!!

Great food and great service in a lovely atmosphere. The breakfast is a feast👍. If you don't try this place you will never know what you are missing - highly recommended.

Fabulous dinner , been a long time since I've had such a tasty flavourful meal, service very good ,look forward to coming back

The food here is unreal So so flavourful and one of the best meals I’ve had in Aberdeen The chicken and lamb kebap is fantastic and the beef so tender Staff friendly and welcoming Will definitely be back here!!!

We been to turkey, wonderful food experience. At Laila, pathetic food very very low quantity. Heavily priced. Laila Turkish cuisine needs to improve the food quality, put reasonable quantity of food and price accordingly. Very bad experience with family. Will not visit again. Guys think twice before visiting this overpriced restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant. The staff were so welcoming and kind. We were there for breakfast and they brought hot tea and then many little delicious dishes, breads, dips. They explained each plate and offered more of anything we would like. Everything was wonderful and beautifully seasoned.

This place is amazing. The food was fantastic (so tasty), the staff were incredibly attentive throughout and as they charge a corkage fee, we could enjoy some great wine without paying a fortune. They even helped me with my poor attempts to thank them in Turkish. A brilliant place to eat and enjoy. We will definitely be back very soon.

Delicious food with tremendous service. Good main portion sizes and lots of good hold and cold Meze dishes to choose from

Raw chicken! Visited 'Laila Turkish Cuisine' for the first time during Aberdeen Restaurant Week. The staff were polite and welcoming as we came in. It was busy and the atmosphere was good. All main courses were £15. I had the 'Chicken Kebap (Tavuk Sis) which is usually £21 - the portions are quite small for the price. I was enjoying my dish until I realised that a piece of the chicken was completely raw once I cut it open! I wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't cut that piece to share it. That put me off the rest of the dish. The rice and turkish salad part of it was nice but the raw chicken just put me off. Sadly, I won't be returning.

Great food cooked fresh, on demand and the staff were absolutely lovely. Worth every penny.

First visit to this eatery and really happy. Service and hospitality was great and real family feel. Excellent menu and flavours. Pleasantly buzzing with a.wide range of clientele. Could be a bit warmer, but the choice of making it a BYOB is very smart for regular returners

One of the decent places to eat in Aberdeen.

Such amazing Turkish food! Last minute booking my friend got for new years eve- such great service to call her back and let her know there was a spot.

Both food and service were superb! Perhaps some of the best hospitality I’ve had in a while in Aberdeen in a while. Had a vegetarian with us as well, plenty of options for her too. Highly recommend!

one of the best Turkish food I've ever had. Friendly stuff and amazing food.

Excellent food, great service. Really enjoyed the starters and main course. Service was attentive and discreet. Worth a repeat visit. I heard their breakfast is amazing.

"An exquisite dining experience at this Turkish restaurant tonight! The flavors were a symphony for the taste buds – from the succulent kebabs to the aromatic pilaf, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The ambiance was charming, and the staff's attention to detail enhanced the overall enjoyment. A delightful journey through Turkish cuisine that left us with smiles and satisfied palates. Highly recommend for a memorable dinner!"

Fab food, great service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent service with a great atmosphere 👌

Went here for my birthday meal at the weekend and had the most amazing time! Service, food and vibe was epic. I'll be back! Thank you so much! Can't recommend them enough!

Delicious food and lovely staff!

Laila, we love you! Went after hearing some many good reviews and we were not disappointed, food and service were fantastic. I usually live in Sydney where you can get any type of great food at any time and I have to say Laila was up there with the best. What made the night, and it was a special celebration night was the owner/manager/host. I should have got his name because he was fantastic. So attentive, funny, accommodating and welcoming. He made my 81 year old Dad feel great and really special. Thoroughly recommend but don't take my word for it, try it!!

Get the breakfast, it's amazing. Service is lovely

Brilliant food, amazing service. 5 stars

Amazing food, have been twice in 2 weeks and everyone has loved their menu choice. Very relaxed atmosphere and service brilliant too 😊😊

Really good food, better than looks and expected! Definitely worth the money 💰

My third visit in the last few weeks to this fantastic new addition to the Aberdeen restaurant scene. A lovely cosy atmosphere on a cold rainy evening, a warm friendly welcome and superb service. The food is outstanding, we shared four hot starters, had a main course each and followed the recommendation to round off the meal with two traditional Turkish desserts to share. The numerous extras were much appreciated too. Huge thanks to Riza and his team for making this a special evening to remember - it’s six stars all round from me.

Fantastic place. The food was delicious and authentic and the service was great.

Best Turkish Cousine in the town, nice atmosphere, great service, feels like home

A must visit while in Aberdeen, Mr Riza was most friendly & hospitable with good suggestions, Mud of heaven is a must try dessert 🍨 we came bk 3 nights in row for it....

Went there for a dinner. Food was served cold. Bland taste with no flavours. Items were missing from the order and came late when told about the missing items. Their Turkish breakfast is good as there are not many cooked items in their breakfast. Seems like they don't have prior restaurant or cooking experience. It was a waste of time for me and my family.

Very welcoming energy. Great staff and food. I have been coming very often, really love it ! It is a must in Aberdeen.

A wonderful experience with amazing food and a very friendly and gracious host. Mr riza was very hospitable and the dessert ‘mud of heaven’ was heavenly!

Service 0 Food 0 meats very hard to eat I.have to pay £60 for 2 person

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM THROUGH DELIVEROO. FOOD DELIVERED FROM LAILA IS NOT AS ADVERTISED AS THEIR RESTAURANT. DISHES ARE SMALL AT HIGH PRICE AND COOKED DIFFERENTLY. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CUSTOMERS AND GIVEN SUBPAR FOOD THROUGH TAKEOUT. FALSE ADVERTISING ON DELIVEROO AND RIPOFF.

This place is fantastic! The food is delicious, the service is attentive and generous, and the prices are very reasonable.

We came across this restaurant when walking around Aberdeen. What a find. The food was excellent the baklava was fresh and amazing. We were made to feel so welcome. You would be crazy not to try this gem in Aberdeen

Had a lovely lunch here today. Very tasty, fresh, authentic food. Great service and good prices 👍

Up there with some of the best Turkish food I've ever had. The iskender was phenomenal and the pide was gorgeous. Cannot recommend enough

We shared several hot starters and tried the kofta lamb. Everything was flavour full and excellent. The service was impeccable, very friendly staff and the place looks great!! Very fair price for a lovely evening! Highly recommend!!

Excellent service, good food, and overall clean and welcoming restaurant.

Best service on the earth if your looking for good food and service this is it

Bravo Laila!! Fantastic food, super fresh and tasty! Great service, friendly and knowledgeable! Very nice restaurant, modern and clean as a whistle. We will be back to try the breakfast soon. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food and breakfast staff very friendly and kind definitely a place to try in aberdeen

Great cuisine, delicious dishes and very nice and friendly service

I've been to a few Turkish restaurants this one is there at the very top off them If you get a chance book a table you won't regret it 5 star all day next time I'm back in Aberdeen I'll be back top marks

Literally, there is nothing to complain about. Food is incredible delicious, every single bite. Well done Laila ! And thank you.

أصبح المطعم مجلسنا الاكل لذيذ والموظفين لطيفين جدا والجو تشعر وكأنك في منزلك .. نذهب إليه دائما ونطلب منهم شبه يومي

Great place with a great team and fantastic food. Truly a delight. Also, it is not unusual to see less customers in shops or restaurants in Aberdeen and around, so please don't feel deterred if you find the place empty. We were the first customers of their lunch service, but we received the best service from the owner and I can't say it enough, the food was amazing. We'll be back!

This is my first visit to Aberdeen. I think it is fortunate that I started with Laila Restaurant. Everything is very tasty , and their stuff is extremely nice .. I highly recommend this restaurant .. Thank you 💖

Amazing. So glad we came. Service was excellent, food amazing, can’t wait to come back. The restaurant is also spotlessly clean. This was the best meal we have had in aberdeen in a long long time.

Really nice food and great service

Turkish breakfast was fantastic. If I could give 6 stars for service I would. Like being at a favorite family members house.

Best dinner out in Aberdeen that I’ve had in a long time. Service was fantastic. They really made you feel so welcome and it was a great atmosphere. The food was phenomenal as well. I will definitely be back!!

Amazing food and staff are very friendly and welcoming!

My friends and I came here for one of their graduation dinners as it’s a relatively new restaurant we’ve been meaning to try. The food was absolutely phenomenal! They started us off with complimentary bread and dips which we all loved. Then, instead of mains we decided to get 6 of the hot starters and a couple or the cold ones alongside the mozzarella and cheddar pide. All dishes were absolutely stunning - my favourite was sigara boregi (although the hummus was also amazing) Despite thinking we were all full, we couldn’t resist ordering all the desserts to share - which were once again amazing. Which they gave us some tea too for the desserts. The staff were lovely and made us feel super welcome the whole time. The corkage fee was super affordable and the whole meal was very reasonably priced for the amount we got and were given. Will definitely have to go back to try more!

Visited at the start of June. The food portions were BIG, a friend and I shared a platter. We had so many leftovers they took a box home for lunch next day. Lots of tea, and the dips were especially great and bread was warm. The staff were very friendly, and clearly this was a local family type restaurant with attentive staff. For a Sunday it was especially busy at night with lots of big tables. It was about £30 per head not including alcohol. But for the portions sizes and amount of leftovers worth it!

Can I give six stars please? Visited today with three friends and can guarantee each of us will recommend and return. Looking for a multi chain generic welcome? Probably not the place for you. Personalised service, friendly and welcoming. Delicious food that you can linger over. People that make you feel welcome to do so. Would not hesitate to book again and recommend to others.

Best food I've had in a long time. Service was excellent - speedy and friendly.

Had a great experience at lunch today. The hummus was amazing and felt entirely homemade (It’s noticable from how the texture is not too fine!). The mixed grilled that we had also was packed with flavours. And the end with Turkish coffee and Baklawa was perfection. I struggle to find places with baklawa that are not too soaked in syrup and Laila’s gave me that crispy buttery texture without being overly sweet. Most of all, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!
