Rakki Rakkas in Nottingham

We were seated within seconds, our orders were taken soon as we were ready. Food was served in a timely manner, with a smile. Staff are friendly, polite and ensure you have a nice time being there. Food was delicious, and doggy bags provided for what we couldn't eat, very generous portion sizes.

Came in for a meal last night and the service really wasn’t up to scratch. It was a very busy evening, and the staff were not stood doing nothing by any means but the service needs polishing. We waited a long time for drinks and when we asked where they were we were asked who took the order. I don’t see how it’s relevant and time spent asking could be spent finding out where our drinks were. We got them eventually after another wait. Salad and bread came but had to ask for plates. The mixed shish was absolutely tiny for the money. The pieces of meat were minuscule and we were shocked. It did taste nice but the amount was not acceptable in my opinion. We had another person join us and he ordered food and more bread and salad came. We weren’t told this was for him and so we were confused. Fair enough we should have realised but the poor girl bringing food seemed new and just as confused as to why we said no to it. No one helped her or offered an explanation. No one checked back on our food and no extra drinks were offered. A bottle of soft drink is tiny so we had to ration them to last as no one came to see if we’d like more. The servers were pleasant, but it was disappointing that the service was barely there. I feel all issues can be rectified with a strong managerial presence around. I hope this feedback is constructive and can helped address any issues in the future.

Absolutely love this place, it has such a warm friendly atmosphere, the staff are attentive, the restaurant is beautiful and the food is so fresh and delicious, highly recommended

The food is good however for a take-out the portion of meat in a £16 meal was not worth it. Considering I bought three meals it was very much overpriced. The rice portion you will receive will be a full container whereas the meat portion container will only be half full. For the price consider going else where.

Great food at very reasonable prices. I've been a number of times and look forward to retuning

This is the second time I have eaten here and it has been great both times, first time we booked,last night we just popped in on the off chance. They did manage to squeeze us in however I would recommend booking just in case. It always seems to be busy, buzzing with a great atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, even down to the ingredients in each dish . The complementary bread and dips is a great touch , last night we have the kebab plater for two, delicious 😋 would 💯 recommend and 💯 be going back, beautiful food, with an extensive menu, something for all tastes.

Such a fabulous restaurant. The happy vibe is always present. The staff work their socks off.

I think this is the finest Turkish cuisine you can find in Nottingham! Having lived in Turkey for a decade, I feel this comes closest to the authentic flavors of Turkish food. Staff are super nice and service is great!

Worst Turkish in Nottingham. If you like gentrified, over priced, tiny portions then this is for you. £10 lamb shish wrap - with no lamb. Tiny diced shreds of lamb trimmings, and to top it off £2 for a bottle of water - rip off. Go too Nergiz Bakery or Rotana for real food. Please contact me too sort this I’ve been coming for years - but this afternoon was a complete rip off, I’d of took it back if I hadn’t driven home to eat it on my lunch break!

very delicious and fresh food. I have been all over Nottingham restaurants Rakki Rakkas is the best.

Such a lovely place to eat. The food and service was excellent, really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back soon.

1st time and it was lovely... Lots of the Menu was Gluten free which was great..

Food was delicious. Whilst all the staff bar 1, were lovely, we felt forgotten. Our empty plates were left far too long before being cleared, we had to ask for cutlery and the dessert menu. It was a long wait to take the orders too.

Enjoyable last minute visit on a Saturday night. Very good food and service.

Amazing place with very nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Food was lovely. But unhappy 2b charged £9 for 2 sodas( was an extra £1 each for the lime) i no u pay more in a restaurant for drinks. But i think this is a lot for 2 small soda & limes

brilliant food served here, eat in or takeaway is fantastic

I would normally wait until after I left a place to review, but this is so delicious I'm writing whilst eating. Absolutely amazing food, would pay double.

Great food and friendly and very helpful staff. The starters particularly are fantastic. Excellent choices for vegetarians too.

Thoroughly enjoyed our girls night out. Excellent menu full of choice. We ordered some starters to share The restaurant then brought out a selection of dips, bread and salad on the house. I opted for the Yogurtlu Adana which was lovely.

Very happening, lively place.Excellent food tasty and obviously fresh, good value. Got a bit loud so that we couldnt hear ourselves..maybe need some soft furnishings to dampen the noise but dont let this stop you from trying Rakki Rakkas its fab!! 👍🏻😊

Wonderful food , staff were great. The atmosphere was amazing. Myself and my friends loved it , will be back .

I visited this awesome establishment today for lunch. We were welcomed upon arrival and sat down efficiently. We were given complimentary cold meze, nan bread and a large salad bowl. The complimentary additions were very welcomed. The food was amazing and fresh. Each table has a buzzer for customers to use, to place order, to ask for bill etc. This is an awesome idea. The place is aesthetically pleasing g and very clean. The service from the young.lady was impeccable. I definetley recommend and would visit again.

Fantastic food as always. My first time visiting since the revamp - looks beautiful from outside and is cosier than before but I miss seeing the chefs cooking on the grill etc. Food was amazing and plenty of it. Great to see that they still give complementary dips and Turkish bread and their beautiful mixed salad. A really lovely meal

Very nice place and delicious food with lovely and friendly service and staffs thanks to chief Ali

We attended a birthday celebration here. The food was nice overall although not anything outstanding they provided a nice selection of bread salad and dips for the table. It was ridiculously loud as noise from other tables echoed in the room upstairs'. The wine was hugely overpriced and really poor quality. The waitress was nice but didn’t seem to understand that if you asked for something extra like a sauce with your food she basically said no you don’t need it? Just odd service. I wouldn’t eat here again unfortunately.

The best restaurant in Nottingham 👍🥰❤️

Fab place my favourite restaurant

Gorgeous food, loads of space and we hung around after our food for quite a while, chatting etc without feeling that they wanted us out of the way.

very disappointed had a donner wrap very cold paid premium price. avoid many other shops near buy

Had birthday dinner and enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, they didn't sell Prosecco by glass.

Great as always. Consistently good simple food and plentiful. Prices feel like they are creeping up, but maybe that is just everywhere. Waitress seemed stressed and rushed. It was busy.

Rubish place One small donor £14 and old food Rip off no English as well

Very nice food! Massive portions, All fresh, nice service- pleasure to eat here ❤️

Amazing food, lovely staff, friendly atmosphere 😋

Great, tasty and well presented food at a reasonable price. Big portion sizes too.

Been coming to Rakki Rakkas since the opening. Never disappoints! Food always nice, staff are always friendly.

Portion sizes are small considering the price you are paying, rice was very dry, kebabs were very dry soup was very expensive. The only positive was salad.

Amazing dining experience, beautiful food, comfortable and clean restaurant, and great service, look forward to returning soon 5*

Food was tasty but portion sizes were below par for the prices charges. Staff were very friendly and helpful but numerous items in the order never arrived or took far too long. Sauces arrived after meals were finished! Nice vibe and atmosphere made up for it.

First of all I give you 10 stars for the cleanliness, good table setting and ,of course, for delicious food and friendly atmosphere! Thank you so much! We’ll be back!

Superb food! Friendly staff! Would go back again and again and again… 👍

A really nice Turkish restaurant with great food and service.

Heard good things about this restaurant so decided to give it a go We were in a party of nine and given the first table upstairs. I was seated at the end of the table with very little space right next to the walk way to the toilets I didn't have a place set and there was very little room on the table . Cut a long story short the fridge leaked and the whole of where I was seated was flooded enough for me to take pictures .My feet and bag was wet and so was other members of our party. By the time my meal came to the table I was standing outside in the rain whilst two members of staff were mopping the floor. When I eventually sat down my food was cold . We mentioned this to a member of staff then after our conversation he walked away and said " for f--k sake". We later complained to the manger who asked the member of staff to apologise and the manger apologised also . He then said next time you come we will sort things out for you. Needless to say we paid the bill in full and will not be returning again

Food and service is great here. Would definitely recommend.

Well me and three friends went there last night (30/09/23). It was very busy and the atmosphere seemed good. We ordered drinks and then a few minutes later, they came and asked if we were ready to order. We weren’t, so the waitress said she’d give us a couple of minutes and would come back. 10 mins later, they hadn’t come back. There is (what should be) a handy little call button on the table. We pressed it…….. 5-10 mins later……. Still waiting….. I pressed it several times and waited……. 5 mins later, still no waitress! So I had to go and find someone to come to the table. To be fair, the waitress did apologise and took our order. The food on the menu said comes with salad, fries or rice. We all picked fries and waited for the meal to come. The “salad” was a 1/4 of a chargrilled tomato and a chargrilled long chilli! I don’t know about you, but that certainly doesn’t equate to a salad in my book! When we had finished the meal, we pressed the “call” button again in order to get the bill. We waited like 10 mins and nobody came! We had to flag a waitress down to get her attention! We asked if the button thing worked, as we’d pressed it several times and had had no response. She was actually a little rude. Now it maybe that they were very busy, or she was just having a bad night, but the four of us weren’t impressed at all. I won’t be going there again as waiting 45 mins to have our food order taken was taking the piss to be honest.

We have got takeaway here for a number of years and have told many people how great it is. Really tasty food, one of the best grills around. However, since the refurb it has become very expensive (platter for 2 risen from £27 a couple of years ago to £42) and portions not as generous. I’m afraid it’s going to have to become an occasional treat.

Came here for my daughters 8th birthday. Food was fantastic service was a bit slow. Loved the do up of the restaurant love the table service button

Excellent food and super service. Good choice of authentic Turkish cuisine. Quite busy even at 5pm on a Friday night. Generous portions. £ reasonable £45 for 2 starters, 2 main, and drinks. Would definitely return. Slightly noisy (but it was a weekend).

Update 11/09/23 - went for the first time after their refurb and the menu prices had increased so much. A 2 person platter used to be £24 and now it's £42, which is a crazy jump. The refurb does look nice, but I think I'll be eating here less as the value for money isn't as great anymore. Shame __________________________________ 01/04/23 - My favourite place in Nottingham for Turkish food. The platters are amazing value for money. The bread they give you with you meal absolutely amazing 🤌🏼. Highly recommend this place.

Prices have steadily increased in past 2 years. Used to be £8-9 for chicken kebab, chips, bread and salad, now it's £15. Quality is still good but prices are too high now

Great food, excellent service and their new look is exceptional too!

This place is amazing …the food was well presented ..plentiful and just delicious 🤤 service was great …pleasant waiting staff who were very busy as the place was full ..always a good sign Lovely clean surroundings …loved the crockery !! Very lively vibe ..thoroughly enjoyed my evening ..definitely go here again .. Well done guys you got it just right !! 👍👍👍

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food was excellent so much flavour. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Can't say 1 bad thing about it.

mixed shish wrap is now my favourite food!!!

This is the best Turkish restaurant in Nottingham, the food is absolutely amazing, staff are friendly, plenty of seating since their refurbishment. Booking is advised at the weekend as it is always very busy! You always get complimentary bread and dips which is a lovely touch.

Tried the newly refurbished Turkish restaurant, and as we entered, it looked quite swanky. Staff are attentive and friendly. Food was nice and slightly expensive. But you do get free Turkish bread and a decent portion of delicious dips. A freshly made salad also arrived on the table for free. My seafood mixed grill was nice, and it was accompanied by rice/bulgur. The mixed shish had too many chips, but meat was spot on. Iskender shish was delicious, too, but the portion was a little smaller. Somethings on the menu are too pricey.

We went to Rakki Rakkas last night, a group of 12 of us for my friend's birthday. We arrived at 7 pm and were shown to our table. We were then ignored for 20 minutes. I got up to ask the only waiter upstairs to come to our table so we could order some drinks. He said he was busy sorting a bill but would come to us soon. He eventually came to our table at 7.30 and took our drinks order. Our drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Then at 7.50 he took our order for food, 50 minutes after we'd arrived!!. We waited a long time for our food to come. 10 plates ariived, the 11th 5 minutes later and the 12th didn't arrive. We pointed this out. 10 minutes later no word so my friend got up to find the waiter and ask were his food was. Waiter came back and said his food would be just a few minutes. His food finally arrived after the rest of us had finished eating!!! I looked around our table. All wine glasses and bottles were empty. Noone came to ask if we would like some more drinks. Crazy. We all did. Or if our food was ok. We eventually ordered 3 more bottles but only 2 turned up. UTTER SHAMBLES. This restaurant does not have enough staff to provide even a basic service. The 12 of us agreed no tip and we also agreed not to make a fuss as we didn't want to spoil our friend's birthday any further. No apology offered. THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. 12 future customers lost.

Found the food to be dry. Small portion aswell. Also the lamb was full of fat no meat.. we got food on our way home as we was still hungry.

Love this place. Food is fantastic.

Went for dinner to the new remodelled restaurant last night & what a disappointment. We have always gone regularly & been impressed with the food & service. We were sat near the door which was left open because the staff were (understandably) hot, but the new layout means we were cold. The house red which has always been of a good quality & value for money has been changed & now isn't great. Ordered the same dish I usually do - which is normally fantastic however, this time the lamb was overcooked & tasteless (as were the chops my husband had). A lot of the regular staff seem to have gone - maybe the chef too?. A real shame. We will give it another go because it used to be one of the best places to eat in Sherwood & maybe its just teething problems. Hope they sort it out.

Tuesday 15th August 7pm Sons family Birthday celebration table for 7, restaurant looking very smart & modern & since the renovations, kicked off with bread & dips 🌶 wow! Platter for 6 & halloumi kebab, foods amazing, authentic & full of flavour, finished off with birthday cake 🎂 sing song & good night had by all, total bill with drinks £155.

A very nice evening we had here. Service was good and on time. Food was excellent, we had the platter for 4, more than enough for us all. Nice modern surroundings and the place was full (a good sign). Reasonably priced too. And I must say the toilets were very blingy but nice 😊

Food was good just seemed expensive for what you received drinks very expensive

Food is delicious however they has become very stingy with the bread and salad since reopening. Also a big let down when they forgot one of our meals and then brought it out 40 mins later with no apology.

Must go place to eat in Sherwood, Nottingham. With the new renovations completed, the decor and style was amazing with first class service. Ignore the below review, contradictory with food prices. Menus available as you walk in to view before, Plenty of staff, ready to serve. Call bell on each of the tables. Food has alway been of good quality. Price I had noticed have gone up a little. I.e sharing platter used to be £38, now £42. Authentic Turkish foods, wide choice for everyone. We booked a table for 2, 3 days in advance. 5pm Saturday. I had the chicken shesh with two types of rice, salad. Spiced rum and diet coke. Also creamy chicken pasta dish, Barcadi and coke. Jug of water. All presented with 3 dips, nan bread. £46.00. My only issue, and I've always had this, is they leave the front door open too often which brings the cold in. I've often had to wear thicker clothing when I come here. Im always cold here, no matter where I sit.. Don't sit at the back adjacent to the door. Me just nesh. Parking available near by off street car parks. Enjoy.

We decided to go to Rakki Rakkas this evening after seeing the new refurbishment that has been undertaken. On arrival the restaurant was very clean, modern and stylish. A long way from what use to feel like dining in a kebab shop. The table we had was brilliant with plenty of room. Food was delicious but was let down with long wait times. I did feel that some food was slightly pricey for what it is but quality was good. Overall I give a 3 star.

Your taste buds will thank you, simply the best salad and shish in town.

Just giving a visit having soup … it was lovely , the service absolutely outstanding this guys know how to treat customers .. always smiling for Customer get in minutes what the customer wants , lovely music .. lovely atmosphere I’ll be back no more Tippos in Nottingham. Thank u guys ;)

Loved it! Went today was fantastic.

Great little place Fairly priced Beer about £5 for 500ml Kebabs come with a choice or rice or chips Table gets served a nice salad, dips and fresh bread 3 of us went there had a kebab each and 3 beers came to £55 so decently priced Would 100% recommend and will go again

Best turkish food in nottingham

The food was nice. An average turkish grill. Rice were a bit blend.

Excellent quality highly recommended

Awesome experience. All the way. The best cuisine in the town.

One of my favourite places to eat in Nottingham! We have been dining in or getting a take away from here for a few years and it never disappoints. Delicious tasting fresh food every time!

Been eating here for years. The food is always perfect and I know no other turkish retaurant in nottingham that compares.

Friendly staff wonderful food and amazing value for money.

Very nice Turkish cuisine. Lots of various meal options catering for all customer generations. Really nice staff, exceptionally polite. Hence the reason why we have been a few times. Usually you can just walk in and you should get a seat relatively quickly. Clean, vibrant environment with reasonable prices. Cannot fault the place at all. Would have given 5/5 , ended up 4/5 due to parking restrictions on Mansfield road.

Best Turkish in Notts by far. First time, definitely won’t be the last!

Excellent food, full of flavour and satisfying portions. The extras which came with the food really set everything off. Would highly recommend.

lovely staff, lovely food every time. nottingham institution.

Delicious food , staff are very friendly and accommodating

Easily the best kebab in Nottingham possibly best I’ve had in whole country!

I have tried a number of Turkish restaurants both in Turkey and across Europe and this is easily one of the best. On top of the food being really tasty and the staff being friendly it’s a really clean place. If you’re in Nottingham and looking to try good Turkish food then this is the place for you.

Excellent place to eat in or takeaway - the food is to die for - really healthy & fresh. Great atmosphere, lovely team. Always consistent & busy!

Consistently reliable service. Food always delicious.

Fantastic food and super friendly people.

Favourite food place in Nottingham.

The stars say it all first Time here definitely be back

Amazing food and wonderful service, possibly the best Turkish food I have ever had and while that might not mean a lot, I would definitely recommend!

Love the place always go when I can with the people I love.

The food is not cooked to my expectations

Food was very fresh beautifully made and very very tasty and delicious. Staff very friendly. Great value for money. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food with draught beer whats not to like Oh and pleasant friendly staff as well

Food very nice but staff not attentive or welcoming. They did not smile or seem as though they were happy to be serving anyone at all - will not return for dine in.

Great food. Good service. Smart but welcoming.

A simple but comfortable place. Huge portions, well cooked. Friendly staff. We will visit again.

Brilliant food! Will be back for sure!

My food was absolutely amazing. Dined in a couple of times and the food to take out was just as delicious . Would highly recommend
