Used to be the best place in Derby without a doubt. No more. Way overpriced, the quality is poor and it's really sad that this place lives on reputation. Some very questionable political opinions too, asking someone aggressively if they are Jewish? WTF? Had 100+ kebabs from here over the years, I'd rather go elsewhere

Had a big order to make as thought the food was decent. Stood there being completely ignored for about 30 minutes. The place is tiny and stuffy. Finally gave up and went straight to Istanbul restaurant. Will not be coming back, non existent customer service. If not able to handle all orders, hire more staff. Very dissappointing.

My McTurks (McFarts) story is never ending. I ate here in December of last year with my sister, we had different things and she was fine - I was not fine and felt awful for weeks, bearing in mind I don’t get ill. I called daily at all hours over the span of a few weeks to make a complaint and for advice. They told me call back when the manager was there the next day. My tummy was hurting so badly and I couldn’t stop farting, they laughed at me and said “you’re disgusting that sounded like a rippydippy”?? They then told me to drink water. So I’d call back the next day (and the next) while on the toilet audibly farting, and the man on the other end was so rude. He didn’t even acknowledge my pain, or my farts, and just told me to call back in a few days. This has never been resolved but I’ve recovered and I’m staying strong (I do still call them sometimes though).

Mc Turks are a long established kebab house. They also do burgers, curries etc I have been eating kebabs for over forty years throughout Derbyshire and beyond. I believe Mc Turks to be the best and most consistent I have had anywhere. Every Kebab comes with a freshly cooked Nan at no extra cost and is always excellent. The prices are cheaper than most other Kebab shops and the quality is second to no none. keep up the good work. Mac.

I have seen alot of changes in Derby over the last 30 odd yrs but one thing that does not change is the Quality of Mc Turks kebabs. The same family who run it are the same family who started the Buisseness all those yrs ago. 30 odd yrs is a long time and long may this little gem of Derby continue. Mr Hussain had a vision.

I have used mcturks for over 30 years now but will not be using them again i will use the kebab house next door to them. If they run out of mint sauce they should tell you not just serve the kebab without it they just want your money same with the salad.

Visited on a Sunday night for a kebab. We were pleasantly surprised that the hygiene rating was 5 out-of 5 excellent, which is good because many kebab places in Derby town are not.We ordered the McTurk special which is donner, chicken tikka and shish mix with garlic mayo. Also we ordered a garlic and cheese naan.The naan was absolutely delicious and fresh however we couldn't really taste the garlic. The kebab was okay, tasty but a bit dry because they put hardly any sauce on. For £10 you can't really complain.Good friendly service and good prices.

If you want the best Kebab in Derby go to McTurks but make sure you dont go off peak as the quality drops. McTurks Kebabs are renowned as the best in Derby situated opposite the main courts they have been part of my life for years usually at the end of a good night out ive even woken up in bed with one (which i microwaved and eat and it was still brill). the only disappointment i had was when i visited out of normal clubbing hours and the meat was well past done and the nan was not eatable apart from that episode McTurks is brilliant.

Mc Turks used to be my regular takeaway when I lived in Derby some years back.It consistently delivers great doner and shish kebabs (they aren't really famed for their sheesh kebabs, the ones made with lamb mince).Great chilli sauce that is cooked in house, tastes almost like a curry base.
