Mavi Ruya Turkish Bar & Grill in Sheffield

He comido aquí bastantes veces y siempre disfruté mucho de la comida, hasta la última ocasión en que la comida fue una verdadera decepción para mí. El pan turco de cortesía y los dips eran, como siempre, muy sabrosos, pero mi principal de adana mixta (brocheta de pollo picada y brocheta de cordero picada, a la parrilla sobre carbón) , servido con arroz y ensalada, estaba muy seco y no tan sabroso como había tenido antes. Sin embargo, mi amiga dijo que sus chuletas de cordero estaban deliciosas. Ambos tuvimos un postre y, aunque a mi amiga le encantó su pegajoso pudín de toffee, me decepcionó totalmente mi elección. Pedí el sütlaç, que se describe como un “pudín de arroz turco casero hecho con arroz tierno, leche entera y un toque de canela” que sonaba delicioso. Me encanta el pudín de arroz, pero me sorprendió descubrir que se trataba de un pudín de arroz refrigerado; simplemente había asumido que estaría caliente, ya que no había mención en el menú de que estuviera frío y no lo habría pedido si hubiera sabido que era un pudín refrigerado. Aunque le dije al camarero que no esperaba que el arroz con pudín estuviera frío, ¡solo se ofreció a llevarlo de vuelta a la cocina y calentarlo! No es la respuesta que esperaba. En general, no disfruté de mi almuerzo y, con una factura que llegó a más de £ 101 para nosotros dos, incluyendo bebidas y un 12. 5% de cargo por servicio, estaba lejos de ser barato. No estoy seguro de si volveré.

Vine aquí con trabajo, 25 de nosotros en total. Pre pedido nuestra comida y pagado nuestro depósito. El proceso fue realmente fácil y profesional. Llegó y el restaurante estaba lleno, sentado enseguida. Nos cuidaron todo el personal, incluyendo Fatih. La comida estaba recién cocinada y deliciosa, auténtica comida turca.

Me encanta ir de nuevo. el servicio al cliente era fantástico. es lo mejor para el valor y amante del pollo es un lugar para ir.

Great experience went for my birthday meal

Beautiful food amazing service can't wait to come back.

The space, the service, and the food consistently impress. Excellent all around. It was so good that we left a 25% tip. Wed probably have to go to Izmir for the same quality.

The food was beautiful and lucky was the perfect waiter. I will definitely be back

What a fantastic place and fantastic food. The staff work so hard they just can't do enough for you. A special shout out to Leo who just made the evening even more special explaining the different food options as this was our first visit....it will definitely not be our last we can't wait to return.

Really polite welcoming staff, decor and atmosphere is really good, the service is outstanding. No waiting around for food; speaking of which, the food did taste fresh, however just didn’t have the wow factor, ive had Turkish and similar cuisine in many places all over the globe, and unfortunately the food here just isn’t to the standard in other places, the desserts were also satisfactory. I’d deffo visit again and maybe try something different than what we ordered.

Amazing food and fantastic staff 👏👏👏

When I say turkey disappointed me in terms of trying to make their food too touristy by adding chips and salad to everything I meant it! This Turkish restaurant has the most authentic, proper grilled Turkish food! The service was incrediable and the atmosphere was booming. The staff were so attentive and kind, Leo is great and the food is the best I've ever had it, finished off with my favourite Turkish tea and free Pistascio Turk delight! Can't wait to return

I ate here with my best friend tonight and had an amazing time. This is the most amazing restaurant I've been to in Sheffield. The decoration, atmosphere, food, and even the passion and knowledge, as well as the service, of the staff is so traditionally wonderful. The food was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. I had the Kleftiko and it was the first time since 2004 that I'd had this meal. I couldn't remember how it tasted but i certainly wasn't disappointed. The staff have an amazing sense of humour and their knowledge of where the food comes from in Turkey, how they prepare it depending on which region they're in is outstanding. Worth every penny and cannot wait. If I could give 1000 stars on this review, believe me, I wouldn't hesitate to give 1000 stars. I've never had such a perfect meal in my life. Teşekkürler to you all. 😊

We were a group of 14 here to have lunch. Ordered starters, drinks and platters Food was great and satisfying for everyone, service from host was also great as response was quick Only few cons I noticed were no change tables in toilet for babies...also went to a similar restaurant in London and was surprised this was pricier being in Sheffield Overall a good restaurant to eat

Our server, Christina, was excellent. The food was great. 10/10

I ordered a mixed kebab which is £33.50, please see the picture attached of the menu. As shown, it pluralises ribs, wings and chops. I was appalled at what I was served, as the dish did not match the description provided, please see picture attached of plate. The fact that the restaurant think this price of £33.50 is acceptable for this portion size is disgraceful. Furthermore, the dish had been falsely advertised and missold, as the difference between what the menu describes (plurals of food) and what is served (singular pieces of meat) is shocking. As demonstrated there is 1 lamb chop, 1 kebab and 3 pieces of chicken, accompanied with rice and salad. I have eaten at multiple restaurants where this portion would be priced around £12-£19. Being a family owned restaurant does not make it acceptable to rip people off. If you only care for aesthetics, enjoy a bustling atmosphere and dining to very loud music, then this is the place for you. However, if you want good value for money and honest service, then please do not come to Mavi Ruya.

Can’t recommend enough! All staff are amazing, foods are delicious and reflect the real Turkish cusine and service is excellent. The best in the North West ever.

Mavi Ruya was a recommendation, and we weren’t disappointed. Arriving on a Tuesday evening for a birthday meal, we were pleasantly surprised by how busy it was, service was prompt, the selection of dishes were great. We chose the sharing platter with mezze. The desserts were very good, especially the baklava. Everything was so tasty, and very reasonably priced, we have already recommended to other friends. We will definitely be returning.

Great place to be enjoyed their platter meat.

The girls serving were so lovely and really made us feel special. The food was sensational and we will definitely be returning! A perfect date night spot 🩷

Work sponsored dinner event. Brilliant venue and excellent food. Service was great. Teşekkürler Leo. 5* Blue dream lives on

Absolutely lovely staff who explained all about the food and drinks to enjoy the whole experience, will be back. Thank you

I've visited this restaurant several times, and it's simply the best. The decoration is lovely, the ambience is cozy, and the food is amazing and delicious, complemented by friendly and fast service.

Great atmosphere, excellent customer service, and excellent food. Staff are very helpful and attentive.

Overpriced place. Low value for money. Felt like they trying to charge for the building of this fancy place, not the food.

My favourite restaurant Food is consistently excellent Staff are lovely

I looooove it, so delicious and authentic

Good night out, although rather loud upstairs vs downstairs. Loverly food and service.

The food portion is amazing. Worth the money along with great atmosphere

Went for 1st time recently for anniversary meal!. The good we had heard was not wrong, food was amazing and priced as expected & reasonably!. Atmosphere was great with a very busy restaurant filled woth happy diners, staff were very attentive without bothering you, so couldn't really fault it!. By far the best turkish/med style food we've had around sheffield!.

This place has gone down hill but increased the prices !! The food and service were both so below par it was unreal

Thanks Leo, good service, professional manner, and a good team work makes the good meal taste more pleasant.

First time here for my birthday..beautiful food fantastic service....we will definitely go again

Been to this place so many Times! We've always loved the food, loved the service and the atmosphere….. especially when its someones birthday. So we recommended some friends and we got the birthday shoutout dance and cake. However the portions including bread and dips were minimal for 4 adults, 4 kids. They used to give you so much. Then theres the prices now which are ludacris. We were under the impression the cake was on the house as we were not asked. Nope it came at an extra cost of £9.10…. 2 rose spritzers were £25. For x 3 chicken nuggets and chips. A sharer meal a couple of beers our bill was £328 and that was after we asked them to remove the extra service charge. So if you are a regular please check the prices as we didnt because weve been so many times. They have become greedy in a time where they have competition so for that reason… we will not be returning again. I cant fault the staff or the food but they have quadrupled on price.

Service was abysmal. Some things I can ignore for example I asked for no ice in my drink but I got ice, I asked for no salad on the food and still got salad. But the service was appalling. Me and my mum went tonight and we had a male waiter who made myself rather uncomfortable but carried on. But we asked him 4 times for the bill, he walked off every time and never came back with the bill, we was asked if we wanted desert with the menus in his hand when he came back for the 4th time which we made clear we don't wish to have desert we just want the bill so we can do. We then get approached by a women with the card machine saying I've been told you need to pay on card. But we never received the bill and just told to pay which we didn't do until we saw the bill. We asked for tips and service charge to be removed as it was horrendous and they removed tips but not service charge. We finally paid but it was our first time going but never again and won't be recommending to anyone who wishes to go. I cannot understand how they have the reviews they do. I have never been anywhere with service as poor as here. Food was okay but very bland with no flavour but the service let this place down drastically.

Great service, even when busy - good to book in advance as that's what they mainly do. Portion on certain things like rice a bit small, however.

We've been here a few times and the sharing platter is perfect for groups. Really good food and service 👌

The food was superb , so tasty and plenty of it. The staff were very attentive and our waiter made us feel welcome and looked after ☺️ the restaurant decor is lovely, I almost forgot I was in Sheffield!

Highly recommend, extremely good and the best in its class for Turkish food in Sheffield. Very freshly prepared and can't go wrong really especially at this price point.

1st time going and won't be the last wonderful. Went with family as a belated birthday, had the platter 2, was so good can't wait too go again 😊 Went for lunch with a great friend yesterday, sat outside around back. Again great food, service, sun was shining and the cocktails were flowing 😁 will b back again soon Went yesterday with my friend again had the Mavi ruya special which was absolutely amazing can't wait to go again 😋

First time we have been. We went lunchtime about 13:30. We had food off the Lunchtime menu. Very good choices in starters mains and sweets. Everything was spot on very tasty. The lady said portions were a bit smaller as being pensioners. Well we all left bloated and wouldn't have wanted anymore. My Son in Law who has hollow legs 😆 was also bloated so portions are not small.The staff were very friendly and professional. Excellent place would recommend it 💯 %

Came here on Tuesday... Loved the atmosphere Friendly staffs Turkish vibes Delicious food Thanks to the team and most of all the service we got from (Fatih) was perfect. Can't wait to come back again and try something different 🔥

Not recommended to anyone, food quality is not the best compared with the price,,,mix grill for 1 person £33,99 not enough to feet baby absolutely ripped the customer off

Mario was our server for today and he was exceptional! He was very lovely and helpful and made our experience spectacular with his amazing service. If you go, make sure you ask for him

Absolutely fantastic evening. Everything about it was amazing. The food 1st class service was the best . Honestly, I can't rate it high enough. I can't wait to return. Fab surprise for my sons birthday too .love the music they play for celebrations 🍾

Went today a treat from my granddaughter.A very pleasant surprise, food. d'ecor, service ,second to none !. Well worth a return 👌

Really tasty food in a beautifully decorated building. Would just say it was a little loud for us. We were sat near the bar where they were making cocktails.

This restaurant has a nice ambiance to it. The decor is very nice and stylish. The staff are very friendly and happy which helps to create a pleasant event. But, beware! The food is at best average! And the prices all round are very extortionate. To rub salt into to wound, they then add a 12.5% service charge to your bill for serving you with food and drink at already over inflated prices. Sorry! Wouldn’t recommend. £290 for a family of four, then that service charge if 12.5%, REALLY!

Just back from an amazing meal. The food was delicious and the portions generous. The staff were very efficient and extremely friendly. We were given complimentary Turkish delight after the meal, which I typically don’t like, however this was so good and I could have happily eaten more. Highly recommend and will absolutely be returning.

Portions were perfect, meze dips were fab. Meat was exquisite. We will definitely be back.

Been back to this amazing restaurant again , been here for family and friends birthdays and general evening meals with friends. The quality of the food is amazing and taste out of this world. Which is made even better with the happy and relaxed atmosphere, made by the amazing staff , which are so helpful. Can't wait until my next visit

We went on a Saturday with no booking, they fit us in without issue. Seated upstairs. Very attentive staff and the food was quick. £100 inc auto 12.5% tip for a small meze, extra bread, 3 soft drinks, chips, a mixed grill and a veggie main. So a little on the pricy side but as the food and staff were nice I dont mind. I would go again.

Delicious food, Excellent Service. We went to have dinner with group of 12 peaples. Everyone Enjoyed their Food and Great atmosphere. We will be Returning. Fingers crossed 🤞

A fabulous evening! Thank you so much for your warm welcome, your delicious food and your relaxing but fun atmosphere 😀

Everything about this place was amazing and I would highly recommend for any occasion, whether it be a small gathering or an event for a large group, there are plenty of facilities on offer.

I review as a wheelie, access in the downstairs area was very good. Staff were very attentive. The food was fab and the staff were fab too. Will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Came for my birthday, the food is delicious, never tried Turkish before, way beyond the typical “kebab’ , very family friendly. The staff are very attentive & personable. Wished me happy birthday, along with restaurant participation, would 100% recommend. Well done & thankyou.

Had a fabulous meal last night here.. definitely a must food and atmosphere was great.. we will be returning.

This restaurant serves amazing Turkish food, huge portions and the service was fantastic. Very authentic Turkish cuisine experience.

Absolutely incredible place. Our family was passing through and decided to pop in for dinner at short notice. We were dressed comfortably as had a long drive so we were feeling under dressed but we still received absolutely impeccable service and made to feel very welcome. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant was warm and had a great atmosphere- each time someone ordered a desert on their birthday a song was played and everyone clapped their hands. The food was outstanding - I am not often blown away when eating out but tonight I was. The only down side is it’s 4 hours away from my home… but I am still considering a night away in future so I can eat here again. Thank you so much x

Fantastic fresh grilled options which are both healthy and tasty. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and great for celebrating occasions.

Good food, good prices, nice staff but very busy and big chaos.

Great NYE dinner. Very busy but didn’t impact quality in any way. Service was excellent and food was as it always is. It’s good simple quality fresh food. It seems to cater for all party sizes and everyone seemed to be having a great night. The belly dancer was a plus point and made the NYE’s visit memorable

The food lacked any semblance of flavour and the restaurant was also extremely loud and felt like a canteen, which made it difficult to hold a conversation. One of the cold starters tasted like an ashtray. All in all, a very disappointing culinary experience and overpriced food.

What a fantastic dining experience. We ate here today as a family of 5 for the first time. Very nice decor- tables which aren't squashed too closely and comfy seating. All the staff from front of house to table service were really pleasant and very efficient. The food we ate without exception was outstanding- compliments to the chefs. We will definitely be returning customers. Thank you.

It was excellent, both food and service.

Amazing restaurant! Really delicious food! One of the best Turkish restaurants I ever been in the UK. Would definitely recommend! Unforgettable atmosphere! Incredible service!

The best Turkish cuisine in the UK, offering exceptional service and a welcoming, friendly staff.

*Poor service received *Food is not all that. May look nice,but no flavour or tast. *Overpriced

Really enjoyed the time spent at this Turkish restaurant and the food was so delicious .

Booked our Christmas Party here and opted for the set Christmas Menu. What can I say. The whole experience was brilliant. All of the staff were absolutely amazing; helpful and informative. Considering the restaurant was full and we had 13 people in our party, everything ran smoothly and the food came out hot and was just so tasty. Highly recommend the Mavi Ruya Special...what a treat for the eyes and the belly! I will definitely be returning and all of my staff said the same! Well done Mavi Ruya for making our Christmas Party special.

Great Turkish food in pleasant surroundings with attentive and friendly waiting staff. Thank you

First time dining here and we’ll definitely be back. Service was second to none, food was very tasty and really generous portion sizes - thanks for a lovely evening!

I was recommended this place from a friend so I decided to book for last night as it was my birthday. On arrival we was made to feel welcome and seated straight away. The service was fantastic and was recommended to try the sharer platter for 2 people which we did. The food was amazing 👏 and would definitely be coming back soon 😋. Thanks again (for the birthday candle and song lol)

Just had another meal, it was fantastic as usual, thanks again, Linda and Carl 👍👍👍

Good service, nice food, fairly priced.well worth it. Excellent dessert menu. Can't complain

Lovely customer service. Ambience was warm and nice. Friendly staff. Food came fast after we ordered. Also, kid friendly layout

What a lovely evening we just had, the food was wonderful, the staff so friendly and professional, I loved this place and would recommend it. The vegetarian dishes were great too. Ellerine sağlık!

Nice place,the lamb was delicious

Amazing Restaurant Love The food amazing staff everyone needs to come John

Amazing food, amazing place, amazing attentive service, thank you for making me feeling so welcome! 🥰 And best Turkish tea 🫖 ofc

We'd heard reports that this place was good; it's fantastic. The whole atmosphere of the place on both floors and outside makes you feel welcome and wanted immediately you enter. The service is fast, friendly and very informative and the food is excellent. There's a great variety and you find yourself looking at all the dishes being served around you, often with envy. Great beer, I recommend the Tuborg Gold and a good choice of wines. All in all, a great dining and social experience. One tip, book well in advance. Update: went again on Saturday 16th November- again, FANTASTIC.

So busy. But we know why. Hard to beat food. Lunch menu is worth trying.

Lovely, cozy and warm atmosphere. Excellent customer service and great food.

Amazing food, fantastic staff and an incredible atmosphere

Leo was the best server ever, made my group feel comfortable and had an amazing time will definitely come again. Food was 10/10

Amazing staff, so lovely and attentive. Food is great - fresh, good quality and good value for money.

A mid week visit and the atmosphere was vibrant. The food was excellent and plentiful. The service we received was warm and friendly with a special reference for Leo who was charming and helpful. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant but advise you book in advance as it is very busy. You won’t be disappointed.

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 :)
