Roka Turkish Kitchen & Barbecue in Amber Valley

This used to be the best burger restaurant around( I live over 30 miles away). They've now altered there quizeine to specialise in kebabs. 3 of us had the mixed kebab. Don't be confused with the kebab shop round the corner, these are very special kebabs. Superb service, high standard of cleanliness & the staff are very friendly. Definitely ten out of ten. We'll be going back! Parking is free in the street after 4.00 pm I believe.

GREAT FOOD AND AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. GREAT PLACE, ABSOLUTE GEM. WILL BE BACK.

Last night I visited Rokaa for the first time with a friend. My daughter had been and recommended it. Truly fabulous food. Lamb Beyti, Lamb Kofte served with Salad and Rice. The salad was huge and so fresh the meal was presented in an attractive way. The Salad was on a separate plate and was a wheel of colour. We finished with pistachio cake - delicious. Ripley is very lucky to have such a great place to eat, catch up with friends and give a great friendly vibe.

Excellent. Large portions naked sure you are hungry. Carry out bags supplied. A good recondition.

Visited for the second time today and again the food was beautiful. Everything we ordered was perfection. Be warned though, take a good appetite 😄 there is plenty of food and you won't want to leave anything 🤣 Will look forward to our next visit.

Very good fresh food with a good menu staff are very helpful and friendly Authentic Turkish dishes with competitive prices

Amazing attentive staff....food just the best, value for money, never had a bad meal, would always highly recommend this restaurant...our favourite.

Absolutely fabulous. Amazing food, wonderful staff. Long may it continue XX

My friend and I thought we'd treat ourselves to a nice lunch and we certainly weren't disappointed. We got a friendly welcome from the guy who served us and he was very helpful in telling us about various dishes and what they consisted of. We had starters which were lovely, followed by lamb shish for me and chicken shish for my friend. It was absolutely delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. The decor is lovely, spotlessly clean and inviting and the house wine was spot on too. All in all, a superb culinary experience and we will definitely be back!

Dined here on bank hol Sunday and it left a lasting impression. The food was incredibly tender and flavorful, with each dish bursting with authentic spices and fresh ingredients. The kebabs were especially delicious, cooked to perfection, and served with fluffy rice and warm bread. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. To top it off, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions offered. This restaurant is a true gem for anyone craving delicious Turkish cuisine.

Staying in Ripley with the kids so I used trip advisor to look for a local restaurant to eat that seemed suitable - I trusted the good reviews and took a chance, booking a table for 6pm on a Saturday night - glad we booked as it was very busy! The restaurant was located on a high street with lots of closed shops so felt a bit weird as we approached, but once there it was lovely inside with a friendly, warm atmosphere, good service and I loved the plush turquoise chairs! There were a couple of other tables with kids so we didn't feel out of place. Most importantly the food was delicious, huge portions, colourful salad and succulent meat. They even do chicken nuggets and chips for my picky 6 yr old, but my 9 yr old hoovered up the chicken shish with gusto. If we're ever back in Ripley we would definitely return 😊

Happy to leave a positive review as food and service was excellent, good value food and drinks, atmosphere was great, we left feeling like we will return again in the future, thank you 👏👍

This was my second visit to Rokka, a warm welcome on both occasions. The restaurant was organised, clean and tidy. The staff were very attentive and thorough throughout, the owner came across to check that we were happy with our meals. Great choice of food and drinks all at a very good price, the food is fresh, very well presented …. five stars definitely deserved for a quality restaurant . We will certainly be going regularly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went last night with a friend ,what a amazing place to visit for lovely food ,service & atmosphere Every table was booked & the ambiance was buzzing The food was served beautifully ,the lamb was moist & tender also very tasty Salad looked & was fantastic ,along with the breads & condiments Extremely enjoyable, highly recommend Wouldnt hesitate to visit again 👍😋

Great tasty food. A very busy Friday evening waited a little longer for food to appear

Excellent meal in this authentic Turkish restaurant..fab service and nice surroundings. The business owner was very nice and made us very welcome. Will definitely be back

Had dinner here Great little place didn’t book but staff still accommodated us and made us feel very welcome We tried the vegetable moussaka and the chicken shish and kofte With salad and rice All very nice food and the staff were very friendly Would recommend

Excellent Turkish food - the starters and kebabs were great - criticisms were slow service with no update on the order and over-sweet home made lemon juice

Excellent visit to Rokaa, this was our first time and I was impressed. The salad was presented wonderfully, mixed colours and full of flavour, I had a combination of both Lamb and Chicken kebab, served with rice - again everything was full of flavour, my wife had salmon which was delicate and delicious. The staff were great without being imposing, the owner was welcoming, offering a friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

7 of us went for food here last night and I can't fault it in anyway - the food was lovely and we all couldn't move after absolutely full ! there was definitely no room for dessert! Cracking Service Amazing food 10 out of 10 from all of us .

Heard many good reviews of this place, my son has been before but it was my first time. Had a lovely meal, the food is amazing so fresh and flavourful. Not overpriced either and the portions are good. Highly recommend a visit here.

Lovely meal, relaxing environment, no rush to leave tables, good portions. Homemade lemonade is lovely not too tangy. Lunch time special amazing value. Really great service.

Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend. Friendly staff beautiful atmosphere very tasty food.

Beautiful surroundings, great atmosphere and delicious food. Staff were happy to answer questions about the menu in great detail. We had the lunch menu which is extremely good value and plentiful. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends. Thank you for a great venue for a Sunday lunch catch up.

An absolute hidden gem in the middle of Ripley. The food is just fantastic, authentic and plentiful, great atmosphere and the service is slick and friendly. Just a great place

We ordered for delivery so cannot speak for the restaurant but the food we received was prompt, well packaged and delicious. Everything was wonderful, hot and it was a large portion. We will definitely be visiting the restaurant and ordering from here again.

Very Nice Restaurant Food was delicious and tasty I order Chicken Beyti 👌🏾👍🏾

What can I say other than excellent. Amazing choice on the menu, food was perfect. Friendly and attentive staff, not rushed at all. Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be returning again. Don't hesitate, just go, you won't regret it 👌🏻

Lovely food and brilliant staff 👏

Food was gorgeous and the amount was crazy . Couldn't finish it all.Was so nice Staff brilliant.Restaurant clean and tidy. Would recommend.Will go again for sure .

Always incredible and enjoyable. Friendly welcoming and excellent food.

Ripley's little gem We will be back 💛

Amazing! Worth driving over an hour for. This is proper authentic Turkish cuisine. Management and staff are so welcoming and so lovely. The food is perfect! I don't even live no where near Derby but I will definitely visit again!

Excellent food, great value for money and the service was brilliant. We had the lunch time special of cold starters and kebabs for the mains. Would definitely recommend a visit.

If you're planning to visit a Turkish restaurant, Roka is the place to go! The food is incredibly delicious, the cleanliness is impeccable, and Rasim, the owner and chef, is exceptionally attentive. His dishes are so good you'll be licking your fingers! It's a must-visit, and once you go, you'll find yourself wanting to return every time you have the chance!

Amazing restaurant for Ripley. Food tastes amazing.

If I was single I would just eat here every other day (it will take 48 hours for you to become hungry again!) Service is exceptional, little bowl of olives arrived at the table within moments of being seated, menu is full of fantastic looking stuff so we dove in, accompanying the food was a huge bowl of fantastic salad and some really nice flatbread so be aware, you will have tons to go at! The food itself was faultless, fresh and fairly healthy, the owner (I assume) personally came over to make sure we were happy which was a great touch, the value cannot be overstated, the amount of quality food presented was fabulous! See you again soon!

Went to Roka barbecue in Ripley yesterday on a friend's recommendation, we were not at all disappointed the food was lovely with all the flavours. We ordered the mixed kebabs sharer which comes with a really nice salad in a big bowl also rice and a couple of dips which were quite tasty. We also got a dish of olives while I'm not a big fan of them, the wife loved them. This place ticks almost all the boxes my only qualm was the drinks were a bit pricey.

Not really sure what to write.So i'm just going to write.... Excellent!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food, service and atmosphere x

Second time we've been, took some friends with us to see what they thought Excellent again , great tasting fresh salad and delicious skewers, the flavours are very authentic. Our friends want to go back for their son's birthday. Very good staff and spotlessly clean. Congratulations to them, this is a winner.

Food...top notch Staff...extremely attentive Overall...excellent

Love this place. Only found it a few months ago but have been back several times since. AMAZING food. Staff are super friendly. You get a massive complimentary salad after ordering. Even got a complimentary Baklava on our last visit. Highly recommended.

Excellent message service, Excellent food and service, recommend highly

Absolutely outstanding! The flavours, the variety, the fact that you don't feel gross after eating your own bodyweight in food - just absolute 10/10! We have eaten in and had takeaway from Rokaa and we're so impressed with how well it travels as a takeaway. The containers are brilliant and good for re-useing, and there's no compromise on flavour when you order it for takeaway. It's hands down the best, most flavoursome, most delicious meal every time we have it!

The food was super yummy and the service was utterly brilliant. Tyra (I think was her name) was so friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We went on a recommendation and we will pass it on to others. Will definitely be back.

We have just been to Roka for the first time after recommendations from people. We shared a Roka mixed grill which comes with either chips or rice and salad and a choice of two cold sides. I can honestly say everything was amazing and there was enough for 4 people never mind 2. The restaurant was full at 7.00 on a Thursday evening so that says something for how good it is. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we got olives , bread and dips and Turkish tea thrown in. We don't live in Ripley but it was definitely worth the drive over there. I would definitely recommend Roka to anyone who enjoys Turkish food and the prices compared to Derby are very reasonable. Booking is recommended due to popularity. We will be booking again soon.

The only thing I’ve can say that negative is that the online prices aren’t up to date to the menu, other than that the food was very good, very good service, nice, friendly and efficient. Food was very fresh from the starters to the main and the homemade lemonade was very nice too.

Starters are pretty large so hope you have big appetites. Food as a whole was fantastic and the service was timely and friendly. Great value for money!

Had a nice meal here. Good service & very tasty food.

Our first time eating here and we had a lovely experience! Our server Tyra was brilliant! And I think he may have been the owner was also brilliant! We asked them to choose our food as we had never eaten in a Turkish restaurant before. And they didn’t disappoint! You get so much food! And it’s very reasonably priced too. We had chicken and lamb over hummus and rice, can’t remember the name of it but it was delicious 🤤 highly recommend! We will be back! Thank you Rokaa

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and it was a delightful experience. The menu offers a diverse range of dishes that cater to various tastes. The highlight of my meal was the chicken shish, lamb shish, lamb kofte, chicken kofte and chicken wings served with rice and salad which was cooked to my satisfaction.

Been 3xs now , Absolutely Amazing dishes, Fantastic Value for money, Staff are brill , go out their way to make you feel welcome, 100% Recommend A++++++

Had a fantastic evening here, nothing was too much trouble and the food was amazing. The service was spot on and accommodating especially for those with changes to the dishes. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back.

Went with my 1year old we made alittle mess with the rice and chicken but was made to feel so welcome and the atmosphere was amazing baby was dancing to the wonderful music in the background and staff was so friendly hand helpful its family friendly and will be taking the whole family back there food was nom nom as my 1year old says

Food was cooked to perfection, great service 👌 definitely one of the best places around here for food, highly recommended

Excellent service and beautiful food. Very friendly and attended staff

Absolutely amazing. Restaurant beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Friendly and attentive service. Food outstanding. Highly recommend. Portions are huge and very reasonably priced. 5 stars

Always amazing 🙏 Fresh food, friendly staff, just a great atmosphere x

The food was brilliant. Good size portions and tasted fantastic. The service was attentive and efficient. The staff were very helpful and well mannered whilst dealing with our order. The atmosphere was great, we dined around 5.15 and it was busy. I would suggest booking ahead. It's great to see a restaurant doing so well in the town centre. Overall, great food and service. We will definitely be returning

Went for the first time recently and it won't be the last, the food is amazing and you do get quite alot ,the service is excellent the atmosphere with the open kitchen is spot on even had the head chef coming out to see if everyone was ok which you don't get often. Not one bad word to say. But you need to book because it was rammed .

Can't fault it,good food great service and good value.

This is a real gem! The food is superb, the service is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive. It's such a treat to have a Turkish restaurant in the centre of Ripley.

I was here at Roka on a Sunday evening, with family members who live in Belper and love Roka. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, cheery and efficient, the atmosphere excellent.

Excellent service and food. Highly recommend

Brilliant, lovely food excellent service, definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic meal there today to celebrate our anniversary. The service was very friendly and prompt. We both had the mixed kebab which came with rice, salad, complimentary olives and flat bread. Being greedy we ordered chips to share. The food was delicious and plentiful. Overly full stomachs all round. We were even given a take home box for leftovers. If you are in Ripley please go to this delightful restaurant. You won't regret it!

Visited Roka now on a couple of occasions with friends and have been really impressed. The meats on offer always taste great. A great addition to Ripley and will visit regularly. We were given tea on our first visit but not 2nd, not sure if this is standard or not.

Amazing. Highly recommended. The food was wonderful. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Popped in for a business lunch and was recommended the lunchtime menu by the very fabulous FOH. Two mezze starters and a choice of kebabs for main. Also came with olives, bread, dips and a huge salad. All very tasty and excellent value. Highly recommend.

Lovely food great service an amazing value for money I'd definitely go back

Food Great. Nice portions. What let's this place down was the wait between starters and mains. Well over an hour. I think the issue is booking management and Take away management. Several large tables all came in at same time and lots of Takeaways too. They need stagger start times and slow down on accepting Takeaways when busy.

Ordered a take away for the family. Food was delicious and probably the best take-away we've ever had! We had 4 meals (with a couple of specific dietary requirement changes) and everything was cooked to perfection. Was ready very quickly too.

Best meal I’ve had at a restaurant for a long long time. The staff were fantastic & the food tasty & plentiful. Amazing to see the place busy on a Tuesday night. Thanks to everyone who made our experience fantastic.

Oh wow oh wow! This place is absolutely phenomenal, I cannot believe how juicy & tender the meat was? Massively recommend for meat lovers. Can’t fault the food or service, just beautiful. Massive portions sizes too, freshly made to order and all round top notch meal.

Have already eaten in the restaurant several times and really enjoyed our meal. Decided to try a takeaway delivery on Sunday night and wasn’t disappointed. Food arrived very hot, well packaged and very generous portions. Enjoyed by all 3 of us. Will definitely be ordering again and have recommended to friends. Sorry no photographs, didn’t think about it until it had all gone.

Our first visit whilst visiting friends in the area and I only wish that we lived closer. From walking in the place shouts "quality" and we were not disappointed. Friendly staff, a great clean and open restaurant with all of the cooking area open for viewing. We had six different main courses and they all came at the same time with an accompaniment of flat breads, salad and sauces. Everything was great quality, flavoursome and well presented and the portion sizes were humongous. Absolutely great lunch and I hope to go again in the near future.

Cannot describe how good it was top tier place

Wow! Very busy, buzzing restaurant & no wonder as they offer great portions & value for money. Very fresh, smells & tastes amazing...you can tell it's all prepared & made with care, beautifully presented too. Complimentary bowl of olives when you arrive & rose Turkish delight with the bill (perfect with a Turkish coffee!)😊 The food can't compare at all with other places as it wins hands down! 🤗 Staff are great, warm, smiley, friendly & welcome, despite being busy nothing is a problem & they are attentive even in a full restaurant. Restaurant decor is modern, clean & a relaxing place to dine with some nice authentic details well thought out in it's design & atmosphere. Best book your table well in advance if you need a particular time of evening at the weekend, I've tried for last 2 Saturday nights & managed to squeeze in at 5.30pm only but weren't made to feel rushed at all. Shall definitely be eating here again. Thank you Roka guys & gals 🤩🫶🤩

Ordered our takeaway for collection it was all ready for collection,we had the Iskender chicken,chicken shish we also ordered a hot starter of mushrooms eith houllmi it was amazing very tasty the salad was so fresh got to say you get loads absolutely recommend will definitely be ordering again 😋

First time getting takeaway from roka this friday. Ordered sharing platters for 2. Absolutely gorgeous food . Fed us both fully and enough left overs for us both to have a good lunch on Saturday... Absolutely top class and will definitely go again

Fantastic afternoon, food ,service and ambience was lovely

I had an amazing meal last night, fantastic food, great staff and competitively priced! Definitely worth visiting if you like good quality tasty food. Thank you Roma

We’ve visited Roka twice now and we have booked again! So refreshing to have a restaurant other than curry in Ripley! Roka is a very well presented restaurant that has a lively atmosphere. Staff are attentive - especially the lady who is front of house. Can’t fault her. The food is excellent. We haven’t been too adventurous yet but intend to rectify that this week! The kebabs we’ve had so far were amazing! In the current climate really good value for money too.

Fantastic warm and very welcoming. Food was excellent. Staff service quality and quantity first class.

Visited Roka in Ripley in February 2024 with family, lovely restaurant, casual dining, huge choice, very friendly staff, great food, huge portions, highly recommend. We will return soon for sure.

Amazing food and great service definitely will visit again with friends.

We have only recently discovered Roka & we are so pleased we did! We've not eaten in the restaurant (yet), we had a delivery on the recommendation from a friend. There is so much food which is amazing, freshly cooked & delivered within timeframe indicated. We enjoyed the food so much the first time that we had another delivery a couple of days later! I suspect this will become a firm favourite with us & will most definitely be visiting the restaurant soon.

Absolutely delicious 😋 Amazing staff.

Fantastic food and staff. Had a meal while on Holiday from Canada. Very accommodating for our group of 8 including a toddler.

Excellent food and great service. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. If you like Turkish cuisine you'll love this restaurant. Great value for money which is a rarity these days.

Amazing food and great hospitality. The best Turkish food I’ve eaten in UK for a long time. Lovely friendly atmosphere . Keep up the good work.

Really good food and very friendly service.

Visited here last night for dinner. What a Turkish delight! Absolutely fantastic flavours, great atmosphere and lovely service. If you've not tried it yet, get yourselves booked in at Roka in Ripley. #food #Turkish #turkishdelight #visitderbyshire

We made an order and collected from the restaurant on a Saturday night, the ordering process was easy and the food was ready and waiting for my husband when he arrived. We were so impressed with the quality of everything that we ordered, it was packaged well and tasted absolutely delicious. It’s clear that Roka take great care in every aspect of the food they serve as it really was the best Turkish food any of us had eaten. We will absolutely be back!

Once again Food Fantastic, and the place was just buzzing with great energies... good service, good food, great people ...what's not to love!!

Lovely evening in Roka. As usual, the food was great. Very busy, but food and service are 5 star

Tucked away on the main shopping street is this surprising Turkish restaurant. I went for lunch when there is a lunchtime special from a limited menu - £11 for 2 starters and a main, plus salad and bread or you can choose a la carte from the main menu for a wider choice. Food cooked to order and plentiful. Staff are welcoming and friendly. There is a choice of desserts for an extra price and a range of drinks including Turkish tea.
