Marmaris Meze Barbecue in Oadby and Wigston

Our group has eaten at this restaurant a few times this year when it was named Marmaris and also when it was supposedly under new management and had enjoyable experiences. This occasion was different, service was slow, staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing and were poorly supervised! After ordering, our Mains arrive. Well actually not all of them, one was MISSING!! This eventually turned up 10-15 minutes later and the communication from staff during that time was abysmal. The other diners didn’t know whether to start their meals or not. Member of our party was doing all the chasing. No real apology when meal did arrive. This spoilt our evening! Have subsequently contacted Management via Messenger and they are blaming new staff giving the meal to another table but again no APOLOGY. Sorry either you supervise new staff correctly or you take responsibility for their mistakes which the restaurant has so far FAILED to do!!

It was our first visit. We both ordered moussaka and it arrived looked lovely but found it was cold. We informed the waitress, and our plates was taken back to the kitchen. The chef returned our plates apologising and said he had reheated the moussaka. We found it was slightly warmer but still cold in the middle. We did feel like reporting it again as we did not want to be a difficult customer. We were surprised they still charged us full price even after the inconvenience we experienced. The restaurant is lovely but shame about the food quality.

Further to my February visit, another Birthday celebration visit, just the 4 of us this time. The restaurant has been renamed Antalya but everything else was as excellent as our previous visit. All the members of staff including the Chefs came out with the Birthday Cake to sing Happy Birthday

Best grill I’ve ever had worth a try would definitely recommend. Super friendly staff the lady with blonde hair was absolutely amazing, great knowledge of the food and beautiful atmosphere will definitely be back soon.

Adana kebab, meant to be 'minced lamb with fresh herbs and spices' . No! grissle, fat and connective tissue. The worst kebab I've had, won't be coming back here again. Rice was ok, salad ok.

The best Turkish restaurant I’ve tried yet! The atmosphere and food was absolutely amazing would come back again without a doubt!! Lovely service :)))

What a shame. Been customers for years. The prices have gone up and the service has gone down …. Online order took over an 1 1/2 hrs to arrive … wrong order, cold and dry meat. Very disappointed

Very disappointed with how this place has gone down hill. It used to serve lovely food. I called in for a takeaway this week and the food was very poor and barely warm. The handful of chips were pale and soft, made worse by putting the lamb doner on top of them in the tray. The lamb itself was not very well seasoned and was a cheap cut with lots of sinew. The bread hadn't even been heated. Such a shame as it was a great place previously.

First visit under new Management and very impressed. We were a table of 9 for a birthday celebration. The BYOB works well and saves a lot on restaurant wine prices. Waitresss, Chefs and all staff very attentive and friendly.

Previously my favourite Restaurant in wigston. Got a take away tonight chips were cold salad was tiny and Pointless bread wasnt even warm and the bread was my children's favourite food. So gutted not a patch on what it was. Gutted

Had takeaway this evening, have been loyal customers for years. - Cost £22 more and food was cold. -Food was unlabelled (allergy reasons) - Lady on the phone seemed to have no knowledge of the menu, initially said they don’t do chips then we were offered chips with every meal. -One meal which was meant to come with chips, came with Turkish bulgar - Had address written down wrongly as well so had delivery delayed -Very disappointed, won’t be spending money there again.

Absolutely shocking food !!!!!!!! I’ve been going to this restaurant for years,it’s recently got new owners & I wouldn’t waste your money ,we were both very disappointed , I couldn’t eat mine as it was so fatty & was swimming in grease . Very over priced we paid £10 more than before..never stepping my foot in there again only if they bring back the old owners..

Just the best around. Good food. Good value . Nice present stuff. Just try it . You will love it. We took some friends here and they loved it so we had to promise to take them back again next time

mmm mixed review here... Starter a little cold but let that one slide.. Main course , couldn't fault it !! Payment Cash only ???!!! Well I expect it would be busier if they realised that nobody wants to carry cash these days and moved withe times but hey... Will only go back if I dont have to worry about carrying enough cash to pay for the meal ....

My wife and I had a very conflicting experience here, the food definitely tasted good so no complaints there. Our issue was that we both ordered the Beyti dishes, I ordered lamb beyti and my wife order chicken beyti, bearing in mind that both are priced at £12.50 so you surely would expect the same portion size, well upon receiving our dishes, I had 2 lamb beyti’s and my wife only had 1 chicken beyti, we raised this with the waitress and she confirmed that this is normal. Effectively you pay the same amount but if you go for the chicken, you only get 1 beyti which we found extremely unusual. This isn’t clear on the menu either. Just before paying we did give some feedback to our waitress who was apologetic but apart from that there was nothing else she could do and we were still charged full price for the poor experience. Will not be visiting here again especially when there are other Turkish restaurants that offer better value for money and equal portions.

This review is based on a take out order. We have been ordering from Here since the opening. Food has been amazing to date. 14/05 Ordered £46 food which was delivered. Salt content was very high in the meat and when I called was handed to a male who said we were the first ones to complain re the high salt content and this has never happened before in the 6 years he has prepared food. Quite defensive which is totally understandable however today you have made an error which clearly happens and when a customer provides feedback take that on board. I was advised to bring the food back and on doing so I asked the guy in charge he was free to try the food ( ok to pick Out) to which he declined. Quite rude to his staff too. Made a new order and again on returning home the salt content was high. ( same batch) Wasted time, money and dinner. As stated at the start this place does amazing food but they didn’t take feedback very well.

Came here to celebrate my son's birthday. Ordered the family platter. Excellent. The bread was fresh and warm. The lamb was cooked to perfection - nice and juicy. The decor with the sky decorated ceiling is awesome. Staff gave my son a cake and sang happy birthday.

Had driven 150 miles to see family and we decided to eat here. What a good decision! Each of us had different dishes but agreed the food was cooked perfectly and was very tasty The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was second to none. Well worth the journey and will definitely return

Great meal at Marmaris tonight. Lovely restaurant, amazing food and outstanding service from Huseyin and his staff. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Excellent, authentic Turkish fare. Spent a lot of time in Turkey on business and pleasure. Love the country and its food. The Marmaris food brings it all back. Damn good value as well.

Food freshly cooked and really tasty, service great, good value for money. Would highly recommend. 👍👍

We have had take-away twice from this newish place. They deliver very quickly (well, we do live quite nearby). The rice is cooked to perfection, and the salad has a good dressing. Turkish bread is also provided, and a nice mayo-type dip. The last dish...

Good tasty food. Good value for money and service is excellent. Just recently refurbished and was formerly called Istanbul. Only gripe is that it can be cold in the restaurant at times.
