The cold meze platter was tasty but overpriced (both meze platters are a fiver cheaper at the other branch) but the falafel and calamari from the hot platter were rock hard. The soups were nice.

Actually, I don't like commenting, but I'll make an exception today because I went to this restaurant yesterday and wasted my time and money. the food came half an hour after we ordered and the drinks hadn't arrived yet and we complained to the manager about it and he tried to explain his fault to us with some excuses and was very rude and didn't apologize. As for the food, none of us could enjoy it because the food was smell like a fat . I do not recommend this place to anyone

Called in for the first time a few weeks ago. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. Can’t fault the service either. Sadly won’t be returning due to them not selling alcohol. I do like a beer with my food and wife enjoys a glass of wine with hers. Shame as there’s not a lot of choice in Shirley if you don’t want microwave meals.

Me, my wife and my 4 months old baby went to the restaurant. The lady server was only giving me one place to sit when I needed a place to keep my baby’s pram and that place was congested. We wanted to seat somewhere else but she was reluctant to give us any other option and she was making unnecessary excuses. We had to then leave without even eating. 🤬

Great place for dining out with your loved ones, pricies are a bit on the higher side so good for special occasions. Portions are decent. Turkish tea in the end is the cherry on top! Recommended to visit if you're in Southampton and craving delicious Turkish kebabs. #Halal

We used to be regular costumers. Visiting the restaurant 3 times a week. Initially the food was amazing and the staff were very punctual and polite. The staff has been changed and perhaps the chef. The food quality has dropped massively and the attitude of the staff changed to the worse unfortunately. I would give a solid one star for the bad experience we have had in the last 3 visits.

The ambiance was nice. But we came for the food, as an Asian who lived half of my life in the Middle East I always crave for a scrumptious meal, specially after a good 3hrs hike, waited to go home to visit the restaurant. We had Lamb shish and Adana kebab. It was okay, but we expected more with the price. The lamb shish was quite chewy and not juicy. The Adana kebab was a bit dry and salty, with herbs missing. I had Queen Berries that had a lot of mint that I needed to scoop out coz with every sip I needed to blow the straw so I can have a drink. It was also so sweet that even after waiting for the ice to melt it was still sweet. The complimentary food (salad,bread&hummus) that was served before our meal was nice though, the bread was freshly baked. Hummus was tasty but needed a bit of olive oil. The salad was fine too. Service was great from the Moroccan waiter who served us. Didn't get his name. Sorry. Husband paid £49 for this meal.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mevlana Turkish Kitchen restaurant and it was an outstanding experience! The flavors of the traditional Turkish dishes were authentic and absolutely delicious. The lamb soup was perfect. The warm, inviting atmosphere and the friendly, attentive staff made the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true taste of Turkey. They don't serve alcoholic drinks which is a big bonus 👏

This is one of those places that deserves six stars if it were possible. It's the best Turkish restaurant I've been to in the UK, and I want to go back to Southampton just to eat here.

A restaurant is always a balance. Price - extremely expensive, I live in London but these prices shook me. £20 per meal which you could buy for £10 in London. Got a meal for 3/4 for £70 which was a decent size but didn’t feel I had any other choice considering the price of the items on the menu. Taste wise it’s decent, nothing mind blowing and definitely not worth the price. If you have no other options then fair play.

We were three friends who shared a meal at the restaurant. They offer NHS discounts and we all are NHS workers. My friend went to pay with showing his NHS card, the guy refused to accept that and he came physically to check the card of each and every one of us. He checked NHS ID and Blue light card. This was very disrespectful and unprofessional from the staff. The food was good though.

Ate at this place with young family of 4. The restaurant was quiet when we went in on a Tuesday and then it got quite busy. The food we got was mediocre. The platter we got was for 3-4 people which was too much for us but they didn’t have a smaller platter and the single meals were expensive even the kids meal for £10. It was quite cold in the restaurant too as they had the aircon on which spoilt experience for me and the food got cold quite quick. The salad was small portion and so was the bread. The platter was a reasonable size. The staff weren’t that friendly as we left they didn’t even acknowledge us, not a single one said bye. Would we go back there. No

Ordered the Mix grill platter for 2 , Lamb chop, Kunafe with Ice cream and Hummus. Food was nice and delectable. To begin with, our food was given to the table opposite ours waitress didn’t even apologise to us. In fact,, she apologised to the other table. She should apologised to both of us. However, I am disappointed with the Lamb Chop servings. In the menu it showed 4 pieces of lamb. However, only 3 came. Pointed out to the waiter but was told it was because the meat was thicker and bigger. It wasn’t in the menu that the lamb are sold by weight. Oh by the way, the lamb chop wasn’t even that big and thick to begin with. It is per normal. I think they saw how disappointed we were with their reply and so, they came later and told us that they will give us another 1 lamb chop. Oh how insulted we felt when it came. It was just 1/4 meat of the usual lamb chop. Never again here. We did not beg for food. We paid. Utter disappointed.

The food and portion was good. The restaurant was appealing. The guy that served us was helpful and polite. The only thing my friend I didn’t like and couldn’t understand was we both don’t have a big appetite. She suggested we share 1 breakfast between us and if needs be we order some other items. When we told the waiter this he said we can’t do this. Either we order 2 breakfast or order 1 breakfast and something else as it’s not fair on the restaurant. He went on to explain some people order one breakfast and have 3 or 4 eating it. I understand in that situation it will be unfair but since there 2 of us and both women with little appetite. We couldn’t understand this when we were both happy to share and if we wanted more then we would order accordingly. He said he will let it go/allow on this occasion but not in future. Made us feel awkward and not welcoming. We couldn’t finish this and had to take some home as we anticipated. Anyway, in the end we both decided we won’t be coming here again for breakfast after this treatment/awkwardness.

We ate Iskender kebab, and it was excessively greasy. The tomato sauce had a sweet taste, and the meat was overly spiced, so we couldn't taste the meat itself. Unfortunately, even though we were hungry, we couldn't finish our plates. When we mentioned that we didn't like it, they just said it was supposed to be that way and suggested we try something else next time. I don't think we'll be going back. Honestly, it was a disappointment for us.

First time we'd been in a while. Lovely new furniture and the place looked good. The complimentary bread and salad was superb, and the mains pretty good. The kleftiko was nice but not much served with it and it looked a bit anaemic, and the Lamb Halep was very tasty and the meat really nice. The only negative was that the "outside" area is actually part of the restaurant with open windows and the smell of cigarette smoke was strong and unpleasant - sadly we wouldn't go back because of that.

Great food taste, Always found very good hygiene. Previously they used to have blue card discounts, But for some reason they were initially very reluctantly applying it, then not accepting it on bank holidays and now discounts are completely taken off. Most of the staff don’t speak English or find it hard to understand. Waiters within the Restaurant are very hospitable and will treat you exceptionally well, they also offer free turkish tea, Great taste but couldn’t sleep that night.

Ok, so I'm not one to leave a bad review unless it was a really bad experience. The staff and the atmosphere were good. On the other hand, we ordered a variety of different meats and a 1/4 pounder with chips (and dessert). My partner didn't eat the 1/4 pounder, she just had the meats, rice, bread etc. I had the 1/4 pounder and about 3.5 hours later, I had a bad stomach ache and I spewed it all out. Not sure if it was food poisoning, old patties, I dunno but it definitely was caused by the burger as that was all I had to eat that day Maybe just dont order their burgers lol

We were a table of four - took our order- I had a kleftico for something different- my family had chicken shish and ribs etc. their food came out and I said for them to start as I didn’t want their food to be cold- they clearly forgot mine - once I pointed this out it came within 6/7 minutes- my family had basically finished their food. I had to ask to speak to the manager as my order was obviously been put in the microwave- the top was nice and hot however the base including the terrible mash potatoes were freezing cold. They then had 2/4 people not knowing what they were doing trying to clear our table offering tea etc. They said sorry in a sort of way and charged me for my inconvenience. Will not be going back

I ordered a kyimali pide, which is supposed to be a Turkish bread filled with mince, well the whole of the pastry was black, non edible, the chefs special which clearly states that comes with rice and salad, came with no rice and salad was just olives and lemons… unsure what you can eat those with. Over £40 order. Phoned to complain and asked for at least half of refund and for them to have their food back, but refused and told me to place a new order and they will resend the other food too….

Good quality platter. Though the chops had more fat than actual meat on them and the lamb was chewy and not tender and we were charged £3 for just some extra sauce which is not ideal. Also the Turkish pizza was £6.50 we found it be under cooked not as crispy as it should be with less mice meat and more sauce. No Turkish tea was offered and the manager or senior staff said that they have had not complaint about the chops but I did mention it the last time we were there.

Good service but the quality has gone down hill pretty massively. I've tried twice since the take over and both times I've had really wet, limp and cold chips with either fish with very wet better and a sausage that just didn't taste right. It's pretty dire
