Niwan Turkish Restaurant in Wellingborough

What a lovely, tasty, satisfying meal with great service with it. The consistent quality and quantity is second to none, with the staff very helpful as usual. We don't think of having Chinese, Indian, or Pizza anymore:) Thank you for coming to Wellingborough.

Niwan restaurant has absolutely fantastic authentic food cooked in full view of patrons by the owner family. The atmosphere is brilliant ..... warm friendly and very attentive. The portions are extremely generous and great value for money. Children are very welcome and fussed over. Excellent venue for both intimate and family events. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely Turkish restaurant, great food and they looked after me. Definitely recommend 👌

I've been here a few times already and food was always great. Really friendly service

Amazing cold mezze, pide (with egg) and vegetarian main with rice, salad and sides. Great vegetarian options - you might want to tell them if you are veggie if you don't want taramasalata. Order on their website rather than just eat and get it cheaper. Delivered on time, delicious and nutritious. Thank you 😊

Super family run restaurant, open kitchen . Great food, freshly cooked . A worthwhile experience...I'd recommend a visit ! Efficient service with a smile ! Great Turkish wines too ! The complimentary bread is out of this world!

Absolutely fantastic food, cooked in a traditional way and served by the very friendly staff...

The food is excellent and the welcome is great. The staff is attentive, helpful and particularly pleasant. I highly recommend !

Amazing find. I highly recommend. The fact that there was so much on the menu for me, being gluten intolerant, was mind blowing! The staff were more than happy to help with checking of ingredients etc. Big portions, and delicious. I think I've found my new favourite place 😍

Been several times last time for my 60th , 18 people all the food was delicious and came out together ❤️ staff are friendly and can't do enough for you . Fabulous restaurant would highly recommend 👌

Staff mixed up a booking for two party celebrations, staff need to learn how to deal with customer service, they were extremely rude ! To customers for the problem that the staff caused! Chef cooked great food but people in our party will not be returning to see rest of the staff behaviour so rude deliberate banging into customers cheers whilst eating their food, we didn't stop to have dessert. Just paid the bill in full They didn't even say thank you for coming! The chef was the only one who kept apologizing shame on the rest of the staff!

We booked online, to be told on our arrival that there were no tables, the reason given was that it was our fault for booking to late! They should not of taken the booking then surely... very disappointing and not good customer service at all.

Very good Turkish restaurant. Nice atmospher with delicious food.

Visited with my partner had a lovely meal service and food excellent it’s a little pricey but well worth it ! The lady who served us was lovely recommended food and drink when we wasn’t sure a really lovely visit definitely be back soon

So so good. The food here is delicious the staff are super friendly we really love going to this restaurant. It's not the cheapest but it is definitely worth it.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Wellingborough.

Very nice and delicious place, would recommend to anyone to visit this place and try their food.

Here for a party and we were so well looked after. The food is always so good as well.

100 I recommend this place. Food brilliant.

Excellent service and the menu had a good variety. Good quality fresh food was served in reasonable time. Excellent choice for the family or even just a gathering.

Lovely little restaurant before our smash room! nice atmosphere and very full. food came out in a reasonable time and everything was very tasty, thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Iskander is is absolutely beautiful. Exceptional food and will definitely be going back regularly. Genuinely amazing food!

Good well presented food. Some things on the menu weren't available.

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. I loved the fact that we could see the food being cooked. Everything was spotless, food and atmosphere were wonderful. We will definitely be returning again soon.

Really nice. Fantastic food, amazing staff and decor is very well done. Would absolutely recommend.

Great service, really, really great food and colleagues who are polite and very helpful. Highly recommended

Had a great meal, food was plentiful and tasty, the wine was very good, service was top class

Genuine, fresh and with very large portions. Good to share one between two.

Very good food, pleasant staff. Sadly coffee took forever

Better than expected. Service was good.

Good food to share. Free fresh flat bread, served hot. Good service but the music a little too loud .

Great food. Great service, very friendly staff

If you like dill then this is the place for you but sadly not for me

Amazing food. Really great service. Good atmosphere. Highly recommended

Love this place the food is amazing. Has to be the best place to eat in town. Went there with our two kids and it was fantastic.

Great find. Food is very good!!! Staff works hard and makes every effort to give you the best experience possible.

Went on a weekday for an anniversary dinner. Food was great, the service was okay but we didn't leave a tip so we didn't receive a thank you and goodbye. We spent over £120 dining with them so we thought it was rude. Perhaps we should have tipped but I was under the impression it was optional.

Wonderful meal not precooked. Booked again for tomorrow evening .

Visted today with family. Food was poor and the portion size was good. The open kitchen is nice.

Why advertise you are open til 11pm on a Wednesday if you won’t take orders after 10pm ??

Great food great service great atmosphere

Dellicious food and plesant staff

Absolutely outstanding. The food was amazing, fresh and prepared in an open kitchen in the restaurant. Great friendly service from all the staff. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The food is amazing, fresh and cooked in an open kitchen in the restaurant. Great friendly service. It is not cheap, but is definitely worth it.

Such a surprise to find an excellent restaurant serving lovely vegetsrian options. Good anbiance and friendly service.

The food was simply stunning, and the service was pretty great too. We were welcomed in, and offered a choice of 2 tables, which was a nice touch. After being seated we were then given a drinks list to view and order from. After ordering the drinks we were presented with a delicious and giant puffball bread, served with what I can only guess was a form of Sumac onions, I say "guess" because the host wasn't giving away any secrets to me on this visit, however he promised to enlighten me on my return visit. Then came the main course, where every meal was cooked perfectly, and as silly as it sounds so was the rice. This was my first time having Cheesy Lamb Kas, and I will thoroughly and highly recommend it, both the guys I was with shared the same thoughts about their own meals the Mixed Grill and Cheesy Chicken Saute. See you again soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Everything was delicious. Staff is really good. We had try some cold starters and main king prawns and lamb chops really enjoy it.

Very well looked after by the staff while enjoying a lovely meal in a great atmosphere

What a great find in Wellingborough! Open late, wonderfully friendly, and absolutely delicious food. Brilliant and looking forward to going back there.

I actually felt like I was back in Turkey 🇹🇷 when I visited this magnificent restaurant in Wellingborough. Great friendly atmosphere Turkish Food is definitely ON POINT!! reasonably prices we ordered a set meal for two @ £26 pp. When the food came there was enough food to feed an extra 3 people easily 🤗. We ended up taking the rest back home with us.

Deliciously healthy food! Went with our 3 boys and each one of us loved our food - from starter to the main.. Great atmosphere and professionally friendly staff.

Amazing quality meats, lovely service

The food was excellent, the atmosphere is wonderful, the service is good.

Great food & atmosphere. Lovely staff 👍

Top place great food and a decent beer too

Food was amazing as always but never enough rice with the meals, always run out of rice way before my meal is finished. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

The food and service were both faultless

The cold Meze was low tier and mixed grill was lacking shish especially for 26£ per person. Older waiter was moody and not very welcoming but kitchen staff seemed lovely.

Amazing food as always! Fabulous service, fast and friendly.

We went here for Christmas dinner and all we can say is wow! We were fed like kings and queens! Amazing customer service and the best food we have ever had in our lives!! We walked away with very full belly’s that’s for sure! We will definitely be returning next Christmas …. If you will have us ☺️❤️

We visited this restaurant as a small family group & were seated at the rear of the restaurant which was noisy & rather less attractive than the main area of the restaurant. Staff greeting us at the door and the three serving us were not exactly welcoming or friendly & we didn't see a smile all night, just sarcasm passing as humour from an older gentleman, whose manner bordered on aggressive. The picture menu was varied. With starters £6-£8, with main courses £16- £21. We had a balloon bread & some awful redish, watery, onion relish/dip accompaniment. The food was pleasant enough but boring & not particularly aromatic or flavousome as we have experienced in many Turkish restaurants previously, The chicken was ok but other meat was not great quality & a bit rubbery & tough. It was all served with the usual salad & rice. Drinks were expensive. To be fair the restaurant was full that weekend, but the town has very few restaurant options. We all agreed that the experience, ambiance & quality of food did not meet our expectations & was expensive under the circumstances. We will stick to the more authentic Turkish restaurants we are familiar with in future & will not be returning. A smile would have been nice!!

Had an excellent meal here on 9th November. Food was excellent Service excellent We were well looked after, and the extras they gave us was amazing

Great service! Delicious food! Lovely atmosphere !

I've been in Niwan twice during last year. Lovely food and big portions. Only "problem" to fix is a reservation. I was there on a time but I waited additional 20 minutes to get a table.

Had a meal here, Saturday night, it was fantastic! Really good service, the waitress and manager were very friendly and the food was fresh and delicious.

Last minute stop pre theatre: tasty dishes - the Turkish pizza was good (mozzarella and egg). Good meal all around. Nice surprise.

Extremely large portions, to large in fact. Never order a starter. Good quality. It’s to much, main course and dessert more than enough.

Amazing food , amazing service, really good approach from Chef I loved the place and stylish dishes I would definitely come back and I will if I be there around again. ❤️

Went for an early evening meal with my wife and kids. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially friendly and patient with the children. The food was delicious with generous portions. We had a great time, ate excellent foor and left with full bellies. We will be going back!

Service and food was great. Oriana was a lovely hostess.

Last night I took my 3 guests who came to visit us from Cambridge. We had wonderfully enjoyable experiences. Kebabs were amazing. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. Everything was perfect for us to come back again. We greatly appreciated the owner Ali's knowledge of the business, his modesty and hospitality. Thank you again for everything. It is a place with a wonderful sense of responsibility that will always be preferred to host my guests. Best regards Birgül Gietzelt

Is my 3rd time here. Food always amazing and fresh 🤩 Staff very polite and helpful Highly recommend 😍

The staff are very attentive and the food was amazing. Loved the bread started and the main courses we had were very delicious. All around a great evening out

First time visiting and was impressed. Food was lovely and very quick Service was great Cocktail was brilliant No complaints at all

We visited Nirwan for the first time last night and had a lovely meal. From the moment we walked in we were made very welcome with the staff being very attentive. From the complimentary balloon bread thru the mixed meze starter to the mains, all of the food was very tasty, well presented and very tasty. Thanks for a lovely evening and we will definitely return.

Placed order at 6:15pm and was told 45 minutes for delivery. 7:30pm still no food, phoned and was told it would be another 30 minutes, as they only had 1 chef and they were busy, so why tell me 45 minutes for delivery then?? Eventually got my food at 8:15pm. Was not happy at all

The food was lovely and plenty of it. But restaurant was far to hot they had air con units but it was still too hot.

Amazing place with amazing people and delicious food.

A group of six ate here tonight for hubbys birthday and as ever it was a superb meal again. Fabulous food, great hospitality, lovely friendly atmosphere. If we want a celebratory meal, we always eat here. Thoroughly recommend it to all my family and friends

The only issue that upset me was that when two people in our party didn't turn up because of COVID issues the maitre d was not impressed and was not believing me. Otherwise they would of got a 5 stars.

Chicken Beyti was very nice. Also the bread and dilled onions that come as standard to the table was very good

Went out with friends and chose the Niwan as had seen good reviews. Food was fantastic, service couldn't be faulted, great atmosphere so I highly recommend give them a try and enjoy a great experience.

Start to finish amazing! The food was amazing, my daughter loved the “puffy” fresh cooked bread! All the food is fresh and plentiful, the side salad was just gorgeous. The staff were really lovely came and chatted and just wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Lovely...

It was simply the best experience in a restaurant in a very long time. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out it was just perfect. We went for a family dinner and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The...

Visited for the first time. Food was excellent. Great choice and very reasonable. Service was very attentive. It was incredibly hot on the restaurant however did not detract from a great meal.

Absolutely Fabulous food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning again.

Having had a busy Sunday we ordered a takeaway for convenience, what a fantastic experience! Food was ready in 20 minutes Upon arrival the staff gave us a warm welcome, thanked for our order and made it clear that they would welcome an opportunity to...

Excellent Turkish food and a great restaurant for families 👪.

Friendly atmosphere, big portions

The service from the time we arrived to when we departed was exemplary. The selection of dishes was extraordinary, so it took time to choose. However, the food was served quickly and it was not only simply delicious but extremely filling. Loved the whole experience...

Totally lovely evening. All the food was wonderful. Will be returning soon!

Amazing takeaway, arrived hot and fresh and sooooo yummy. First time we have used your place and will be regulars now Can’t wait to come to the restaurant for a meal

Very good place for a family meal. Excellent food with good portions.

Very good food, grill items and salad are amazing, but abit pricey.

Really nice food and big portions. The staff are really nice it makes a nice change to experience a really uplifting and positive customer service. Our waitress was fantastic. Food was great, we kept it simple and had the Mix Grill meal which comes with a selection of all the starters and a selection of all the mains. With a desert and coffee at the end. Great restaurant overall and really nice decor. I really enjoyed it with the Mrs! Will come back for sure!

Friendly service and fabulous food.

Great atmosphere and a fantastic meal. A perfect place for lunch for the whole family or for a romantic dinner for two.

The food was amazing and really fresh, the staff were very friendly, it’s nicely decorated and the facilities were very clean. I recommend going there if you want to try new cuisines. 10/10, nothing less.

Excellent food Excellent service Excellent atmosphere

Very good service, my chicken kebab was on the dry side and the rice ,if you can call it that was not nice at all. 3 small pieces of Baghlava at £5 was not good value for money.
