Merhaba Restaurant in Cambridge

Visited here with friends on Saturday evening. Ordered mains and starter, though the starters ere forgotten about, our mains were brought out and at that point had to remind where are the starters? Halloumi was feeling nice though and bread and salad brought out. We were rushed to finish our starter with plates taken away as soon as we each finished, and asked before one us finished are we ready now for msin course. Main came out I had the chicken beating asked for chips but hot rice, they brought out chips on asking. Again we were rushed to finish despite restaurant only being half full. They tried to take my friends plate although he hadn't finished it. The mixed grill he had was nice though with the description and price £20 would have expected more meat. Overall food was good, but so cheeky to add the service charge onto the bill. Especially given service was so poor. I would have contested it but my friend didn't want a scene. Shame really as if it was not for that would go back.

I went randomly to this place ordered mixed grill and baklava I really liked it very tasty food friendly staff, been very helpful as well many thanks

Delicious food with a perfect environment. The staff is really nice and warming. Cannot fault a thing, definately the place to go everytime in Cambridge.

Last minute booking and so glad we did. Authentic atmosphere and food. Big shout out to Sue who looked after us very well indeed.

Empty when we arrived mid week.Service excellent food superb 100% recommend .This is the closest I’m going to get to Turkey this year 😆

This was the nearest I am going to get to Turkey this year and did not disappoint. Food was really good and a bit different to what we have had before. Charcoal grill right by the door as you walk in. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Husband's 80th birthday 16 of us. Super food, polite, friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Wonderful evening had by all.

The worst takeaway I've ever had the displeasure of ordering. Pizza soooo greasy and the wraps were awful. Seriously do not recommend any kind of takeaway from this place

Delicious food & excellent service. The service is really fast. We ordered set menu and there were plenty of food. We came out very full and highly recommend this restaurant for any one in Cambridge

The food was excellent and the staff very generous. Also, despite staying until late and being the last table, we were not rushed to leave. The social distancing measures were also better than other restaurants I've been to in Cambridge.

Ordered through Deliveroo, we expected the food to be very good quality as the restaurant is expensive, £14.95 for a mixed grill, total bill was almost £50 for 2 mixed grills and 2 sides. The food arrived cold, the calamari tasted horrible and was a strange grey colour, the sauce was also had a sour taste possibly had gone off. The mixed grill was cold I had to microwave mine for 2 minutes and after trying it I was not impressed, very greasy and poor quality, a couple of mouthfuls and no more!! The mixed grill also came with oven cooked chips from a supermarket! The other mixed starter was almost £9 and hardly anything in it, again very poor quality! And I couldn’t believe it when I opened up one of the salads there was a dead FLY in it!!! Absolutely disgusting and shocking, Messaged the restaurant and have had no response, Deliveroo have apologised but said they would not offer a refund, so now almost £50 out of pocket for food to go in the bin!

genuine turkish place with charcoal food. best iskender ever tasted nice sauces and all overall combo of what they give you salad nice and fresh

Great restaurant with accommodating customer service - great service. Food is fabulous and always has me coming back.

I enjoyed the taste and quality of the food and the type of service, nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Restaurant renovated recently and showcases a more modern and traditional style now. Food and service are exceptional. Definitely try a full set of Turkish breakfast, with a chicken beyti for main and kunefe for desert.

Qué restaurante increíble, la comida era fabulosa, teníamos el menú fijo con una buena relación calidad-precio. Aleyna nos sirvió, fue genial, muy amable y atenta, incluso trajeron un pequeño pastel con una vela para el cumpleaños de mi amiga y todos cantaron un ambiente brillante y un servicio increíble. Muchas gracias Aleyna por hacer nuestra visita tan especial que no podemos esperar para Vuelve.

Normalmente no escribo comentarios sobre la comida. Primero recibí un doner kabab para llevar que costó 11. 50 que me sorprendió porque era caro. Me fui y la bolsa para llevar era pesada, lo cual fue un buen presagio. Llegué a casa y comencé a comerlo, tengo que decir que fue sinceramente el mejor doner kabab que he tenido en mi vida y he tenido muchos. La carne era increíble, venía con mucha carne en una cama, un arroz encantador. También había dos grandes trozos de pan que también eran geniales. Había una ensalada y dos tazas de salsa. De repente, el alto precio tuvo sentido y me encantó. Volveré otra vez como un regalo, pero no con demasiada frecuencia.

I became a regular customer it is one of the best restaurants in Cambridge simple delicious food and friendly staff and good prices

Anoche fuimos a barbacoa mediterránea y fue el mejor kebap que he comido aquí. Los chefs son muy profesionales y la comida era muy grande y deliciosa. Creo que el precio es muy decente en comparación con otros restaurantes. El servicio también era genial, la camarera era muy amable. Definitivamente sería un habitual allí después de esto. Muy recomendable a quien le guste la comida de calidad

Este lugar solía ser muy, muy bueno. Tenían buenos pinchos y carne a la parrilla.Recientemente cambiaron su nombre y menú y, cuando estuve allí por última vez, la calidad fue menor y mis invitados no quedaron tan impresionados.Todavía es un buen lugar para llevar comida para llevar, pero ya no lo recomendaría como un "restaurante" para llevar invitados.

Fui al restaurante como nunca antes. La comida era deliciosa y buenas raciones y recibió un postre gratis al final, sin embargo, el servicio se sintió un poco apresurado y los camareros fueron groseros al no esperar hasta que los entrantes hubieran terminado antes de limpiar la mesa y traer el plato principal.

We went here last night (2 people). We can't get over how great the food was. We were recommended the Chicken Beyti and we were not disappointed the best turkish food I have had int he U.K. The Turkish sausage is also very good.

Overall, food was overpriced for the size and taste; chicken kofte dish is £12 which is way more than average. Ordered some baklava as well and that did not taste fresh. Nevertheless , it was still a pleasant dinner.

With our eldest Daughter over from Canada, we all met at this Turkish restaurant here in Cambridge. The food was great but the service was lacking when it came to clearing the table.

12 es ridículamente caro para un muy pequeño kofte para llevar. Es cierto que excelente pan recién horneado.

Tomó el consejo de otras críticas y no me decepcionó. Fantástico personal amable y servicial. Grandes porciones, tuvimos la pizza tradicional turca y el kebab Iskander. Al final de nuestro tiempo aquí nos dieron postre y café turco. Vale la pena una visita

Merhaba was such a nice restaurant. Now the menu as changed and old favourites / famous dishes are not on the menu anymore. The quality and quantity also changed and not for the best. Too bad, we loved to go there !

Fui a almorzar con mi esposa. Teníamos Adana main y la sopa de la casa que era lenteja. Panes y salsas dados eran deliciosos. No tengo ninguna queja sobre la comida. El nombre ha cambiado pero la propiedad es la misma. El personal de servicio debe ser más atractivo con los clientes. Deben ser proactivos, lo que ha sido una característica típica a lo largo de los años. Siempre volveré.

Merque la pena visitar el Merhaba si busca comida turca de buena calidad en Cambridge. El menú es amplio, la primera clase meze, las porciones abundantes y el servicio realmente excelente. Este es un restaurante donde los comensales realmente se sienten bienvenidos y la atmósfera lo refleja. Nada es demasiado problema y no hay problemas con una silla de ruedas. Muy recomendable.

Lovely and kind stuff. Delicious food in authentic atmosphere. Reasonable price for quitr big portions. We jave tried ribs and falafel! They were sooo delicious.

Este restaurante es de visita obligada. El ambiente era genial para un almuerzo de domingo. Había unas pocas familias con niños. La comida y el servicio eran fantásticos. Escogimos el conjunto Meze. Esta elección tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio 21. 95 por cabeza. Éramos 4, pero pedimos 3 porque las raciones son bastante grandes. Tienes entrantes fríos y calientes, luego las carnes mixtas con arroz y ensalada. Vale la pena una visita.

Acabamos de regresar de unas vacaciones en Turquía que queríamos más comida turca, y esto no me decepcionó. La selección de laberinto frío era excelente, con mucha variedad y todo encantador. El pollo shashlik y cordero kofte también fueron excelentes. El servicio era muy funcional, aunque sólo tomó el pedido y trajo la comida. Después de experimentar la amabilidad de los restaurantes en Turquía, esto fue algo decepcionante. Sin embargo, volveremos - comida sabrosa y buena relación calidad-precio

Boxing day dinner with family. We ordered 3 mixed grill and a diner meal as mains with bread and dips as starters. Food was very tasty and fresh and quick and service prompt.

It is good that you can get the bread and dips as one usually gets in a Turkish restaurant as these are always the best bit for me but the mains were quite small and the rice had pieces of sweetcorn hidden in it which was not good for someone who hates it. It was nothing to write home about.

It doesn’t get better than this! Best Cambridge restaurant. Food and salad very fresh, portions good, prices reasonable, quick efficient service and the sauces were amazing. Really nice relaxed atmosphere and great food. Well done!

Paid £7 for Lamb shish to take away in a box with salad. Insultingly small portion. Served by a man who handled the food with his bare hands and then handled cash. No hygiene standards or careless?

A great Turkish Restaurant. The food is fantastic, cooked on a grill and smells gorgeous. Friendly staff and very helpful. We just had main courses and were given complementary bread and taster deserts. Highly recommended.

As someone who now lives in Turkey I wanted to have Turkish food when I came home to the UK for my graduation ceremony. I decided to book this restaurant because I liked the food last time. The waiter was pretty young who served us and even though he seemed to write down our orders there was a mistake with my brothers starter. The response from the waiter was 'well you ordered this'.. when in fact my brother didn't. The food was reasonable but not at the same quality you would get in Turkey. Throughout the service the two waiters were very slow to take our orders and never checked on us during the meal. They would just stand around talking to the chefs until we managed to catch them and ask for something. I know that the customer service in Turkey is pretty no-existent.. but now you're in the UK you should learn how we do/expect things here. Improving your customer service skills will help guarantee that customers return.

just now Great food and service. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will be going again soon😁.

fresh allway. they are allways busy and thats what tells me why they are good. try the kofta.The service is good and they allways offer help.

I love this place. I love the food, service and atmosphere. I always get great service when I come here. Great prices. I could count this as my local. Great place in Cambridge. Ahmed is lovely and couldn't have looked after us better :)

We stopped in here for a late lunch. The place was very quiet,we ordered starters and mains followed by teas and coffees. Everything was fantastic, huge portions and delicious. It was very reasonably priced. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely go again.

Our first time. An end-of-project dinner. We were treated so well! Such good service and friendly staff. Will definitely return! Thank you.

Food is quality but be careful what you order. We got the 4 people special and there was enough food for two people at best. When we complained about it the owner didn't seem to care much. Thought we were being unreasonable even though we were all still hungry and paid a hefty price for it.

My first time here and I was amazed by the quality and choices of genuine home msde Turkish food, great friendly staff, freebies, cleanliness, speed of service, great beers and the hapiy party atmosphere.

Easy drop in, good menu, quick service with a smile, extras on the house make a nice touch. Catered well for gluten free.

Great selection of Lebanese and Turkish dishes. I haven't had anything I didn't like. The kebabs and grilled meats are done to perfection though, so if you're on the fence about dinner that's an easy win.

Era día de compras en y encontramos este chambridge restaurante perfecto. Alimentos excepcionales, exactamente el mismo concepto como si conocido en Turquía. Ambos teníamos turco pide una con llamadas turco salchichas sucuk el otro era vegetariano. Realmente disfrutamos del ambiente, el servicio y la calidad de los alimentos. No puedo esperar a volver. Altamente recomendado

We have been there with my wife on a couple of occassions. Merhaba has a decent selection of meats, all of which are of a great quality. The waiters are also very friendly and the service is good. Give it a go if you like this kind of food.

Vamos a comer aquí una vez a la semana y la comida siempre es muy sabrosa. Siempre tenemos Adana kebab porque nos gusta mucho más un nuevo plato extra para probar.

Had chicken with salad and tasty sauces to go. Pita bread is also included. Lots of other dishes to try next time. Baklava for dessert. Can also eat in.

Great food always made very welcome and never leave here hungry. Staff are welcoming and sociable. Well worth a visit.

Nice simple halal restaurant with friendly staff. The waiter we had was extremely friendly and even gave us travel tips to morocco. :)

Really tasty food, friendly waiting staff, we have come a number of times and will be coming again! The aubergine dish and mere selection are recommended as is the grilled lamb and chicken - liked that we got a complimentary sweet at the end too!

Excellent food and friendly service as always! Fun for birthdays as well as they'll play happy bday for you over the speakers - cheesy but fun!

Fuimos para cenar el viernes por la noche con la familia y tuvimos una excelente. Fotos de Adana y mezclado Grill. Ambos estaban deliciosos y muy bien hecho. La carne era suculento y suave. Mi hijo había doner y patatas fritas comidas niños que disfrutó. Panes y pedido tzatziki eran geniales. Conseguimos un postre gratis. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

The atmosphere was lovely, the staff friendly and the food outstanding. My partner and I had the set menu and there way more food than we could eat but it really reminded us of the standard and tastes of our recent holiday in Turkey.

Just went to Merhaba with the family. Had a fantastic and very tasty meal. Staff are brilliant , helpful and very attentive. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be visiting again.

The food was amazing, even my fussy sister found something she loved because of the wide variety of simple but gorgeous flavours. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, couldn't have asked for better service.

Very helpful service and moderate prices. The mixed grill and turkish pizza were very good. We will probably go again.

Went here for another amazing meal last night with my work colleagues to bid farewell to a friend. Once again the food was amazing and I ate the set meal. The gentleman that served me was so helpful and welcoming and even though I have...

Excellent food and great service for sit down meal! Have lived in Cambridge for 20 years and didn't know this was here......just thought it was a takeaway....

We arrived there with a nice greeting the waiter was a friendly chap , the food was excellent nice and tasty and freshly cooked , atmosphere was good ,never eaten in a Turkish restaurant but will be going back , recommend this place.

We grabbed takeaway kebabs here before the cinema one night. They were huge, hot, fresh and delicious. Perhaps the only 'hot' chilli sauce I have had on a kebab that is actually good and hot. I would definitely order another kebab.

My wife and I ate on a Sunday and Monday in cold mid January, both the food and service was excellent. We had four different Mains and starters, the food is good restaurant food, in big portions yes but subtle too and flavored naturally without...

Merhaba is one of the best dinner options in Cambridge, especially if you're hungry! The set menu is extremely generous and good value, with your table first filled with hot and cold mezze, then a mountain of extremely tasty grilled meats, and finally dessert and choice of turkish tea or coffee. You'll be stuffed. The staff is also super friendly! Couldn't recommend this place more.

The staff were very friendly and efficient - service was excellent. Most of my group had the meat set meal which was more food than we could all eat, so we were able to box the rest up and take it home. I had a starter and main from the menu. There were lots of options, even for a vegetarian. Despite me not having the set meal, they provided a dessert for me so that I wasn't left out which was a nice touch. The food tasted delicious and we will definitely be visiting again.

Booked a table for 6 when Visiting my son for the weekend , the food was very tasty and plenty of it ( we had the meze ) , the staff were brilliant and all were really friendly and accommodating , we had a pregnant lady with us and a vegetarian , both were very happy with their food . All in all deserves 5stars and we will book again

Good location, very delicious taste ,friendly staff and valuable prices...Cold & Hot meze plates and merhaba special recommended:)

Delicious food, affordable and generous portion sizes, and to top it off really friendly and happy service. Plus they gave us lots of complimentary extras too, no one missed any melon! Thanks to all at merhaba for a great meal, definitely recommend to all

We can definately recommend this Turkich restaurant in Cambridge. The food is excellent and the staff is really friendly. We have beeb there several time now. Love the food! Thanks a lot

Esta es nuestra 2ª visita a este restaurante. Uno de los mejores kebab house en Cambridge. Me gusta el sabor de la comida.

I went the first on team work event .... second time with my husband. Food was awesome..... so tasty and sssoooo tender! I will be back gain for sure. Great service, great food why not??

Pensamos de tener una tranquila cena tras un largo día de semana. Por desgracia, no sirven para una persona aunque el lugar está vacío y muchas mesas.

Tomó una visita con mi amigo a comer en este lugar, estaba sentado a la mesa de inmediato, lo cual fue una ventaja, ya que estaban bastante ocupados. El sish kebab tenía delicados sabores y era cocinado a la perfección. El tamaño de la porción es decente, sin embargo si tienes hambre puede ser necesario una porción extra de arroz o pan!

Fuimos como una familia de cinco en mi día de graduación de la universidad sobrinos hace un par de semanas. Estábamos contentos de estar sentado en una mesa redonda y eran menús dada. Esperamos un rato, pero ningún camarero regresar, así que tuvimos que buscar una salida.

Visitado por mis primos graduación Merhaba, sirven excelente comida degustación y uno de los lugares de comida halal sé en Cambridge. El servicio era educado y amable, la comida y los postres llegó a tiempo que sabían increíble. Los aperitivos estaban hummus y pan, pedimos una parrillada mixta x 2 bandejas que tienen costillas, alitas de pollo, pinchos, ensalada, arroz, que eran más que suficientes para todo el mundo, patatas fritas para los niños. Postres: Té turco, dejar enfriar y algo que parece un Gulab Jamun - ellos sabían increíble! Me encantó. Sin duda volveremos :).

Very tasty food freshly cooked in front of you and reasonable prices. Staff seem friendly enough too.

Mocking costumers in front of them speaking another language doesn't mean the customer doesn't understand what is being said. I don't care how good the food is if the staff are unprofessional and tactless.

I love Merhaba. I used to work on East Road, so we went there for work dos, or just general dinner after work. Staff are always welcoming and kind. Really really love the set menu you can get - it's great value and you get sooo much food. Mixed meze starter is especially tasty. My mum is a vegetarian and they catered well for her as well.

We had a great evening here but the food is nothing to shout about. Some bits are cold and the lamb was all fatty.

Sehr gute türkisches Küche, schneller und freundlicher Service, alles sehr sauber. Im Eingangsbereich wird auf Holzkohle gegrillt, es wird entsprechend alles frisch zubereitet. Die Preise bewegen sich im normalen Bereich, allerdings werden jedwede Beilagen zusätzlich berechnet. Unflexibel fanden wir, dass einem Veränderungswunsch beim Hauptgericht – anstatt Reis Chips nur insofern nachgekommen wurde, dass die Chips dann extra bezahlt werden sollten.

This place is amazing. The staff are always efficient and courteous. The food is mouth watering with every morsel. We were permit to share a meal - perfect as it hit the spot for both of us. Good selection on menu so even vegetarians can have good choice. Worth finding. They also do takeaway.

We have been here few times. The waiters are friendly and welcoming. We always like the food. They always bring free stuff to try. They could inprove the decore though.We have had take aways as well. Service was quick and promptly.

Me and my wife called here for a meal on a visit to cambridge. It was some of the best food we have had anywhere. I don't care what any other reviews say the food was stunning. The service was excellent. It was so good we went back the very next night and it was just as good. Seriously you should all eat here BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

Used to go there every now and then. Staff became increasingly rude over time! Almost always mess up my order, brought less than what was advertised and get very angry when pointed out their mistake. that happened almost at every visit.

A real hidden gem that we found purely due to TripAdvisor. Service was swift and every dish that we ordered was gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Just had a take away mixed kebab and it was delicious, fresh, hot and very tasty, will definately return for a sit down meal when back in Cambridge

The foud we had was delicious and there was lots of it. The service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant was very good with lots of light. Definitely one to recommend.

Came here after a long day in Cambridge: bit of a walk from the center but worth it.Got here early on a staurday evening so was still quiet.Had two of the mixed grill and all the food was delicious and tasty. Could have ate more but wouldn't have survived the walk back.can someone tell me how these guys spice their meat: heaven!!

I would recommend this restaurant for groups. Delicious affordable food and good customer service. Food arrives quickly and usually there is a dessert on the house. However, the atmosphere is not too cosy or intimate and therefore I would skip this place for a date night.

I was here with my husband for lunch and we both enjoyed our delicious food. The staff is very polite and nice, the place is very airy and clean, the service is fast, and the food is very delicious. You get great value for the prices compared to the average in Cambridge. I'd definitely go back, and I've already recommended this place to my friends who live in Cambridge.

As a young British Muslim, it is often difficult to find a place to eat that serves quality halal meat. Merhaba is this, and beyond.I first visited it after recommendation from a friend; so I took my family out to lunch on Saturday 1st April and, I must say, I was blown away. The staff were kind and helpful, the environment was calm and accepting and the food was amazing. As a child, I grew up in istanbul and this food brought back memories of my childhood.

I went to this restaurant last week and still can't forget about my visit, honestly this restaurant is one of the best I've been to in my life. It's food is amazing, it's clean and the staff are friendly and warm. I have to say me and my Friends ordered a set menu and at first I wasn't sure,but once it came we didn't regret at all. I'd say apart from the service and food being good that the enthusiasm of the workers made my day. Every one was positive and I'd defiantly recommend set menu.

if you're looking for a great meal with amazing service this is the place for you, the food was delicious, i personally took the mix grill which really brought out the Turkish culture and cuisine, the food was well cooked and deserves a solid 4.5 stars at the bare minimum, the staff were also very kind and always ready for assistance, ever when the restaurant was full packed. Half was into the meal i also used the toilet and i have to say it was very clean compared to other restaurants that i have visited, you can tell that they really take care of it regularly. other than that the resturant was great and i highly recommend it to anyone who really want to get a bang for their buck.
