Mavi Ruya Turkish Bar & Grill in Sheffield

Amazing food, fantastic hospitality and very friendly staff. I have visited here with my husband on a few occasions and it is 100% fantastic each time!

The food and presentations are really great 😻 I liked it very much, especially Mr. DENİZ, thank you very much, his interest and care was great. The best Turkish restaurant in Shefeld

My goodness what a wonderful place! I’m so sad I didn’t try it sooner!!! Firstly the warm welcome by the guy at the door who checked our reservation then the wonderful food! The platter for 2 was wonderful, the food was full of flavours and the service was impeccable! All the staff are very engaging! I would definitely recommend this place especially for special occasions as they have such as good atmosphere for celebrations ❤️

Great food, outstanding service from Leo and Mary. Leo’s enthusiasm particularly wowed me and my partner.

Great food, great service! Because it’s such a popular spot, it’s always packed in here therefore it is a little hard to hear the people in your own party sat right opposite you. The staff are always really welcoming and are very happy to celebrate any birthdays/occasions with you! The food, drink, and service is always on point. Beautiful Baba Ghanoush too!

Lovely meal and very happy atmosphere

Kuzu Beyti tastes nothing but smoke no spice or anything, Mavj Rüya special was very entertaining and delicious. Prices are too high for seemingly no reason. Return would be very unlikely.

Spot on.Group of 9 of us.No complaints from anyone. We tried the 2 platters to share between us.Plenty to go around and top quality food.

Very relaxed and friendly place. Great little find baklava was the highlight

A lovely long lunch with grate food and wine. Traditional Turkish fare. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

Went here on the spur of the moment last night. What a fantastic decision! Great atmosphere, superbly looked after by the staff from the moment of welcome till saying good-bye, and really, really nice food (and plenty of it too!). Simply wonderful.

Lovely atmosphere,very clean restaurant and staff nice and kind.We definitely recommend

All in all exceptional.. food, customer service, atmosphere. The place is family run and they do everything to make you feel comfortable and more like family within the cozy atmosphere they have created. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and service mavi rüya :)

Loved the food, big portions and full of flavour. Also, warm friendly service throughout & a great range of delicious mocktails if you’re alcohol free 👌🏾

It began as a charming eatery in Sheffield, known for its quality and inviting atmosphere. However, over time, I’ve noticed a decline, likely due to an increased focus on commercialism and a diminishing sense of customer care. The experience now feels rushed—you're seated, place your order, the food is served, and before you've had a chance to fully enjoy your meal, the plates are swiftly cleared, sending the clear message that it’s time to leave. Unfortunately, the personal touch and class that once made it special seem to have faded.

This was our first visit as we came from Doncaster, I can highly recommend this restaurant the food was outstanding, the best lamb chops we've ever tried, three of us went and we will return, the staff showed us around the restaurant, even took us upstairs to there other bar and seating area, I can only praise the staff for their hospitality and professionalism .

Absolutely Fabulous place, the food is divine. I’ve eaten around the world and if I could chose somewhere to eat authentic Turkish food this would be the place I would come every time. Quality deserves merit and this place doesn’t disappoint with the electric atmosphere and friendly staff. I hear they are expanding too and no doubt this will be a future franchise!!

Our second visit to Mavi Ruta and it didn't disappoint again. We shared the larger platter between 4 and it was a great feed. The meat is incredibly tasty and well cooked, with a beautiful charcoal flavour. Honestly the only thing I would change is adding a few local craft beers on tap.

Fantastic food, fantastic service.!

Very nice and professional staff, so delicious Turkish cuisine, and lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend to anybody who enjoys property food.

Amazing service even when very busy! We managed to get a table without a booking but do recommend booking in advance because we arrived quite early and it got very busy later on. Mocktails were very tasty!

A lovely place, calming atmosphere, helpful waiters and delicious authentic food. Will 100% recommend the Belgian chocolate pudding as desert!

Peaceful atmosphere, clean, enough car park, smiley staff, I recommend to try it.

Superb food - great service - you could tell all the ingredients were really fresh - the service was prompt without being rushed - the staff were very friendly - their warm baklava dessert suggestion was spot on - really tasty and the lamb shish was excellent, every ingredient fresh and tasty - will be our first choice when we return to Sheffield next time

Great food, amazing staff and a lovely atmosphere

Amazing place food and staff very professional will come back again xx

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Came to celebrate family birthdays and was not disappointed. The food was plentiful, tasty and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, the staff were helpful and polite. Would really recommend. This was a return visit and will definitely return again.

We visit here 2nd time. Me n my wife with our family of 4. Our son took us here for our 33 years anniversary since we first met.. The food is absolutely delicious. Lovely staff.. Will definitely go back soon.. Thank you..

Went with family food and service was excellent. Ordered a jumbo plater and was more than enough for us. Quality was great.

Excellent food and service. No more words

Great service , food excellent plenty of choice and large portions. Watch out for service charge added automatically. But food and atmosphere was brilliant.

The staff were top class, very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Aysha's team looked after our party with friendly and helpful professionalism making the whole evening a great experience.

It is very nice service and food ,the all things is so brilliant.The server (Aysha) with her team are so friendly and nice ,my family are appreciate to them all about what the celebrating that they did to us in our 42 nd engagment anniversary ..thanks and regards .

We were so impressed with this place. The staff were really helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes, giving lots of info on the restaurant itself which was interesting. The food was exquisite, really professional (Michelin Star worthy I'd say) and delivered to the table really quickly. Loads of vegetarian options with a gorgeous vegan & gluten free main which I had. Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!

I could not recommend this restaurant more! The great service started even before we arrived - I called earlier to ask if they had a quieter table if possible as one of my family is hard of hearing. When we arrived, the manager gave us tables to choose from. The service throughout the night was friendly and attentive, even though it was a busy Friday evening. The food was excellent - Meze platter to start with great flavours. Mains of lamb, chicken, pide and Adana - all tasted fantastic and full of flavour. The best Adana we had had in the UK! Deserts were again incredible - the warm baklava and cheesecake both tasted amazing. Portions were generous too. Wine was lovely and all for £200 for four of us. Will definitely be back here, such a lovely evening and memorable food

This place is a gorgeous and I wouldn't be surprised if awards follow. We went for our first anniversary and were taken care of and had a brilliant time. The food was fresh and tasty, very authentic food, beautiful atmosphere and I almost divorced my wife to marry the baklava. We had a Turkish white wine which was lovely, a really nice change. Will definitely be back. Special shout out to Leo who took care of us, knew every dish inside out and taught us some Turkish pronunciation!

Good food,the waiter advised me what to have as I didn't want a plate piled with food even though it was probably the cheapest on menu,but it was delicious.

Loved it.. only new lemon cake needs replacing

Really great food everything from the kebabs to the mezze was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place!

Everything was perfect, best restaurant in Sheffield by far!

It's a lovely building and a cool place for a special occasion. We had chicken shish, veg musakka and creamy halloumi chicken. All were decent. The shish cost £20.50 which is a bit steep for something rather basic, in my view. A nice evening, good food and service.

1st visit, very clean, friendly staff. Expensive meal for what it is, service charge added to bill for a table of 4, only noticed after we left. Food was OK, freshly prepared but just average.

What a fabulous night we had. Visited for a friend birthday tonight. The place just amazing! The atmosphere is incredible, soon as you enter the building you been looked after. We all had starters which was all fantastic especially the oven baked mushroom, all the mains were tasty, hot and well seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and delivered just right and on time! The staff is always very attentive and chatty. All dressed smart and tidy. Really nice to see a place where plenty of staff around and all of them working comfortably and not rushed off their feet. Thank you for making our night special.

I had never heard of this place so didn't know what to expect but upon entering, I was impressed. I was greeted by a very well groomed and well presented host, (physically and verbally) who showed me to my table. The decor was modern but with a turkish vibe and was beautifully executed. The seating and tables were very comfortable and the tableware was was lovely. I was very impressed how they seemed to effortlessly cater for everyones needs. There were older people, young children and babies in the restaurant, but the atmosphere was celebratory and joyful. The music was ambient and the birthday celebration ritual was jubilant. The food itself did not disappoint. All the food was freshly prepared and looked beautiful on the plate and they didn't skimp on portions. The plates were big and very worth their pricetag and the taste was absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit, if you can get in. It was very busy, but Excellent!!!

A party of 7 of us visited this afternoon for my Mum's 86th birthday. It was our first visit and I had booked a table in advance. We arrived and were warmly welcomed. My Mum uses a walker and the staff pointed her in the right direction and made sure she room to get to the table. Then they helped her get in her seat. We had a large meze between 5 of us and 2 had their own starters of halloumi and bread with halloumi. Really tasty. Good selection of dips and bread was great. The main courses were huge. Mum had seabass and loved it. Beautifully presented. Three of us had vegetarian moussaka which was incredible! Another had salmon fillet and I think the others had pork chops and chicken. Huge portions and everyone loved their food. No room for dessert. We also had a bottle of wine which was lovely. The service was brilliant. All the staff were friendly and professional. So pleased we discovered this place. Already talking about returning. Thank you!

So consistent and so good. Impressive place, food, staff and atmosphere spot on!

What a great place. Really warm welcome, on point service, and amazing food. A lively restaurant.

Beautiful lamb! Melt in the mouth 😁 very friendly and helpful staff

The restaurant was classy and beautiful. The food was healthy, light, affordable and tasty. The service was outstanding, simply the best in my Tina Turner voice as we were served by Mr "501" Levis, he is just excellently brilliant. The embodiment of great customer service as he was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the restaurant and we will come back again and again and again for Mr 501 Levis service🤗😊👏👍!!!! Top tip: on a sunny day ask to be sat outside and order the Ruya lamb dish and Ruya Mocktail just lush 💕❤️😋😍!

WOW!! This was our very first visit today & we will definitely be back! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by a very welcoming beautiful, smiley, warm lady named Mary. She was very attentive throughout our meal too, even when the restaurant got super busy. The customer service she gave to us was top notch which unfortunately you don’t often find anymore. This lady is an absolute asset to your restaurant! Thank you Mary for making us feel so comfortable, keep smiling & being you 😀 P.S, Next time we will dress to impress 😉😂 I also have to mention how beautiful the exterior & interior design is, what great effort you all went to here, I couldn’t stop looking around! Everything was just perfect & the restaurant was so clean & comfortable too. All the staff seemed very professional, calm, very smart & the atmosphere was perfect, not too loud or quiet. I honestly can’t believe how quick our food arrived at our table, we ordered a huge meal & it all tasted fresh & was delicious! Thank you to the hardworking super chefs! We definitely ate way too much but then Mary gave a box to take out..although we aren’t sure we will eat for at least a week now! Please don’t judge us, it was only for 2 people & definitely eyes bigger than the belly tonight 🙈😂 Prices are great too for both food & drinks. A lot of restaurants really overcharge too much for drinks but I think you have it just right! The only recommendation I have is to please let staff take direct tips. We were happy to pay the service charge to everyone but we would have also loved to give extra directly to Mary also for all her own direct efforts & incredible service! Thank you all for having us & we will be back & will recommend to anyone 💗

Some of the best food and service EVER! Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or just a midweek treat 10/10

Nice place, delicious halal food, very friendly staff.

2 different taxi drivers pointed out this smart-looking restaurant as we passed, so we booked for Sunday evening. Their website states "we pride ourselves in offering the finest Anatolian cuisine. With over 20 years of experience creating mouth-watering dishes and seasonal specials, we have something to suit every palate. " The restaurant is very smart and beautifully presented. We received a very warm greeting at the door, and you pass a wonderful display of meats and an extremely long charcoal grill as you are shown in. The menu was pretty extensive with a great choice of really interesting dishes - it was quite difficult to choose! Our table of 6 all chose different main courses and they were all very different but equally delicious - we all cleared our plates. To start, we chose, to share: - Large Mixed Meze served with excellent, warm bread: Cacik, Soslu Patlican, Hummus, Zeytinyagli Fasulye, Barbunya Plaki, Babaganoush - Lahmacun: Very thin Authentic Turkish Flatbread with a Savoury Blend of Finely Seasoned Minced Lamb, Aromatic Onions, Tomatoes, Fragrant Parsley, and Red Peppers We cleared the plates! Then for my main I chose: - Mavi Rüya Special: Marinated Lamb Meat, Roasted to Perfection with a Medley of Tomato, Onion, Aubergine, Mushroom, and Garlic. Prepared in an earthen clay pot and cooked in a Wood-Burning Oven, Crowned with Cheese and Elegantly Covered with Balloon Bread, served with rice This was a spectacularly served dish, brought to the table with the "balloon bread" beautifully raised, then opened up by the waiter to reveal beautiful aromas and the glorious lamb. We were all in agreement that this was an excellent meal in a really good restaurant. Loved it! (Also posted to my food blog on Instagram @AbbeyKing16)

Really good food with excellent friendly service. Highly recommended and we will return again.

Love this place! Relaxed, great food, service and ambiance and drinks too!

Amazing staff Amazing food Amazing atmosphere

Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

Highly recommended, best place in Sheffield

This place is always a 10/10, atmosphere, quality and vibe is never in doubt. The portions I believe have reduced in size but the prices haven’t. That would be my only gripe.

Food was delicious and served promptly Staff were attentive to begin with but then dropped off towards the end of our meal One staff member in particular was a little intrusive and kept coming over for a over excited conversation which was a little annoying Great for groups as it's a little on the loud side

Very delicious food 😋 outdoor seats with beautiful views 😍 professional staff, very friendly and welcoming

Everything in the restaurant is beautiful, from its cleanliness to the service to the atmosphere of the food...but the prices are relatively high.

I absolutely love this place. The staff are great, the food is delightful and the atmosphere and music is just perfect. I 100% would recommend this place for anyone. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant!

First visit this afternoon. Beautiful. Limited parking but we were lucky and got a space. Staff very polite and attentative. Felt welcome and respected on arrival and leaving. Omg the food.....amazing and huge size. Unfortunately too mu h for me and i felt so bad leaving some. My boyfriend and I got mixed kebab. Delicious!!!! Really enjoyed and will definitely go back. Has to be the best turkish restaurant I. Sheffield. Beautiful place. And good value for money. I try home cook turkish food but never the same and this place BRILLIANT. I'd give more stars if I could. Thankyou to the owners staff and the amazing chefs made my day.im still full. X

Great place! Wonderful caring staff, delicious food & cozy atmosphere. Thank you!

Very nice place ,professional staff,food is nice ,always get there mix grill large one,spot on

Great quality food, and amazing service. Thanks to Cristina our waitress too, very attentive. Thanks for a fabulous all round evening.

First time, Saturday afternoon. Starters, mains, service and atmosphere- fabulous, can’t wait to go again. Hummus and berecks excellent, breads are tasty hot and plentiful. Adanan kebabs are fantastic, very tasty salad and rice. The platters look spectacular. This is one of the best restaurants in Sheffield if not the best.

It’s a great place to visit. I recommend to visit it. Thanks a lot for everything the service is fast and professional . And especially miss cristina .🌹

Delicious food, and excellent service. My partner and I had a wonderful visit!

Amazing service nice food I recommend it

Great atmosphere great service wonderful food.

Was recommended this place and it didn't fail. Fantastic service, very friendly and explained dishes well, food was spot on, large portions and very tasty. Very very busy but there was no wait on food it all ran smoothly. Partner had salmon and I chose the lamb chops. I watched other dishes go out and would 100% order a platter next time.

Came to Mavi Ruya to celebrate my birthday after hearing such good things, and it did not disappoint 🤗 the food was incredible, we shared the platter between 4 and there was more than enough! The meat was so tender and the sides were tasty too. The staff were lovely and friendly, can't wait to visit again😊

Great food especially outstanding service from tara, very talkative and helpful for food choice

The food was sensational. Thank you 😊

I recently visited Maui Ruya and had an incredible experience! The hospitality was top-notch, the workers were so kind and caring, and the service was beyond amazing. The Turkish people there were lovely and the food was delicious. I felt truly loved on my birthday as they surprised me with a mini celebration and made everyone aware it was my special day. The hospitality, kindness of the workers, and the amazing service really made my visit special. The fact that they made my birthday memorable with a mini celebration shows how much they care about their customers. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It was a 10/10 experience!

Just had a wonderful meal at Mavi Ruya. The food was delicious, staff were amazing and in particular, Christina and Lucki who clearly understood about catering for coeliac diners. (We were even given gluten free flatbread to enjoy with the meze, in addition to carrot and cucumber sticks). The non coeliac diners in our group enjoyed their food just as much. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service is friendly and attentive. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking for a delicious and exotic dining experience, I highly recommend Mavi Ruya. The staff at the restaurant embody Turkish hospitality, but a special shout out goes to Leo! He's not just attentive and knowledgeable, but also a genuinely kind person who goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is wonderful.

Excellent service food was brilliant 👏

Loved this place, it’s on my list to go back to. The food was great, some of the best Turkish cuisine I have had, very tasty. The waiter was great, explaining the dishes and language. I’d really recommend this as a good place for a meal.

Lovely Turkish food. Nice menu. Lamb chops are fab. Nice hot meze selection. Excellent service. We’ve been several times.

5/5 more than expected! Will recommend 👌

Fantastic food , staff , cocktails 🍹. Christina our waitress was so lovely . Such lovely atmosphere . Staff are so lovely . Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had my birthday dinner with family. The food was very impressive with reasonable price. The restaurant decorated beautifully and luxuriously but fullfilled by people. Even though they have a big space, they accepted too many customers at the time making the asmosphere was so noisy, hot, and unbreathable. Staff moved difficultly between narrow way cause of saving space of tables and chairs. Anyway, I love food here and will be back with friends, hope I will spend a better experience this time.

We are going to 4 people here it is food is rubbish and so expensive We are spending money £140 we are giving to £160 Give it to him£10 tip they give me back £10 it is fake this place is rubbish don’t go anyone

5 star restaurant 🌟 friendly, welcoming, and top quality customer service 👌🏽 beautiful décor and food too 👍🏽

Great food and great service, food was fantastic and after reading some of the reviews I thought we were going to come away feeling ripped off. Instead we found the atmosphere great, there were a good selection of affordable meals and the portions were big, they even provided a couple of dips with some flat bread as appetisers on the house ( I must admit I was worried they were going to add it on to the bill but it wasn't 😉) I would definitely come back here. I had the lamb with potatoes and carrots which was a massive lamb shank served with a side portion of rice, the rice came out a little late but only a few minutes, the staff were very friendly and nice to talk too. My wife had a creamy pesto chicken which she enjoyed, there was a little too much for her to finish.

Really nice Turkish food with super friendly staff.

Love this place, staff are really friendly and informative, thank you.

First time there and what a wonderful place! Proper old school service, brilliant food and a great atmosphere. Was served by the brilliant Lucky, what a nice man. We’ll definitely be back. 5 stars ++++

5* dining, beautifully decorated venue, great table service. Welcoming atmosphere. Value for money. One of my top 3 Turkish eateries in Sheffield.

My girlfriend & I had an absolutely amazing experience at Mavi Ruya! It was our anniversary and first proper Turkish restaurant experience. The leg of lamb was delicious, perfectly falling off the bone, and the chicken was to die for!! All the staff were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing & the owner makes a killer cocktail! 👍🏻 We are already planning to go back in future.

Absolutely stunning anniversary meal. We went on a Thursday evening and the place was bustling. Such a lovely, lively atmosphere. The staff were warm and friendly, and the food and cocktails were delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and was beautifully presented. We’d driven past lots of times and finally booked a table - so glad we did. Thank you for an excellent evening, we can’t wait to come back!

Very nice food and excellent service! Good portions too

We had heard good things about the restaurant. We were not disappointed. It was our wedding anniversary night out so we wanted to try something different. We had the sharing for 2 options. It had a lovely mixture of meza. In fact they asked if we would to swap anything from the cold selection. No need Great selection. Now the best bit the meat cooked to perfection. The staff were always on standby for extra drinks and clearing used plates etc. definitely enough food even for a fat lad from Sheffield. To top it off they sang a happy birthday song to my wife. We are going back and recommend you give it a try to.

I have never eaten such a delicious kebab even in Turkey. The environment is very decent and the service and management are top notch. 🧿

Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food looked and tasted incredible and the whole atmosphere was great. Was a nice, unexpected touch when we ordered a dessert and they made a fuss about it being a birthday. All in all a great place.

The food was absolutely gorgeous and the waiter were kind all over a 5 star experience however the prices are very expensive but so worth it

A group of eight of us (family and friends) came for an amazing meal on a warm Saturday night. I’ve previously been here before but some of our friends hadn’t and they were blown away. Unsure what to order, we ended up getting two of the Jumbo Platters. The food was to die for. So flavourful and the perfect amount for us all. Service was fast, friendly and personal with a couple of jokes thrown in. Leo, Mary and Aysha served us and all were fantastic. We’ll definitely be back soon! 10/10
