Rokka Turkish Mediteranean Bar &grill in East Northamptonshire

Best food I have had in a very long time! The cream chicken was cooked to perfection! Slight confusion with the order but the gentleman very quickly came back out and sorted the issue much to our delight! Definitely worth ordering from here!

Lovely experience. We came here once before and the food was brilliant. The service was great and they took extra care to look and serve our little one. We will be back

This is a lovely place to dine. Lovely, superb service and great food, just all round lovely. We enjoyed our lunch. Very welcoming atmosphere. Will absolutely recommend.

Great food and service. Definitely be visiting again.

Our second time visiting as we loved it so much the first time. There seemed to be a long time between ordering and when the food came out but we weren’t too fussed as we were well attended to. Overall, love this place and we will come back again and recommend to others.

Having read all the amazing views of this restaurant we were moved to book for a group of friends to meet up and enjoy a meal. We arrived and were shown to our table. The restaurant was warm, the menu extensive. Having booked a round table and not informed that there wasn’t one was disappointing. Drinks ordered - on the expensive side! Starters and main ordered. Six of the eight starters served we had nearly finished them before the other two arrived. They were eaten on arrival as they were not ‘hot’ - luke warm. Mains arrived - the ‘kebabs’ and small mixed grill were ok but very dry some tzatziki would have been an added bonus. The lamb ribs meal was enormous, but turned out to be very fatty! An Alinazik chicken was ordered but the meal that arrived bore no resemblance to the ‘aubergine, red peppers, yogurt,herbs and garlic. It was charcoaled chicken on a bed of what looked like mashed feta in a tomato type of sauce - no peppers, aubergines etc. As the menus were cleared it was not possible to actually check what had been ordered. All main meals were barely warm and served on cold plates so went cold very quickly. Nobody came out to check how our meals were and we had to ask for more drinks - the service was certainly not attentive and definitely not worth 10% of the bill. Our waiter did no more than take the order, serve and remove plates all expected in a restaurant. We were not offered any water for the table - a basic requirement these days! We all felt badly let down by the experience and for being taken in by previous reviews - mostly written by people who have only reviewed one establishment- says it all! Don’t believe all that you read! We will not return.

We came for my mum’s 84th birthday treat. We had the mixed sharing platter which was lush. It was all well presented and the cooked beautifully. Very much value for money with this. My mother and I had a glass of Turkish red wine which was really pleasant (I’m not a bit wine drinker but my mum is so I had a glass with her!) We were too full to have the Baklava there so they kindly boxed that up for us to have at home. The staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed our meal and plan on returning soon when the rest of the family visit from Scotland. I completely forgot to take photos!

Amazing place good food and good customer service! I would highly recommend to anyone as I can’t fault a single thing about the place

Someone recommended Rokka so we booked a table with friends. The menu is extensive and there are some good varieties of Mediterranean cuisine. The drinks menu is not so good and very expensive. The portions are very generous- probably too much- although we were all disappointed with the accompanying salads. Service on this particular evening was slow and, when the meals-starters and mains- arrived they could only be described as warm. All of the groups’ plates were cold. We had to ask for a second round of drinks and also additional serviettes. There is a 10% service charge for parties of six or over- it bemused most of our party as, surely, quality of service for a group of two, four or six should be at the same level. Our service did not warrant a charge of 10% but we had to pay it. Hot food, better drinks and consistent service would be an improvement.

I ate here with my Dad on Friday night spontaneously. Luckily we got a table without reservation. Food was proper fresh and good quality, we tucked right in and unfortunately did not take pictures so you’ll have to take my word for it. We had a fish dish each for starters, a meat dish with rice for main and then mixed flavours of ice cream and sorbet for desert. One of those meals where you feel satisfied, comfortably full without bloating. We also got free Turkish bread with dipping sauce to start with and Turkish delight whilst we paid our bill. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Very nice authentic atmosphere. Best restaurant in Rushden, would highly recommend.

Nice place, people and food. We spending great time here again and again. Thanks Rokka crew 👌👍

On time, hot and very good. Definitely recommend

The food is lovely, and the staff is really nice

Excellent food and lovely service - would recommend

Had a great meal. One of few dining experiences left in town.

I have eaten at a lot of Turkish Restaurants and this is one of the lower qualities. The food gave my siblings a bad stomach and the lamb was the worst I ever had sent it all back wasn’t asked if all was ok. We were hungry in the area wouldn’t rush back. Better to have gone to a local kebab shop or fish and chips. Food was long wait despite being only table in the restaurant. No staff in sight when we left too. Wish them all the best but lots to improve on.

Food and service was great I will definitely recommend this place ,And we will definitely be back thank you

Overall an outstanding experience! The owner and his family were all very warm and friendly, greeting us all at the door. The food came out quickly, it was fresh, hot and delicious. We were ordering more food than we needed and the owner informed us of this and suggested we order a little less ensuring that if we wanted more he would have it out to us very quickly. This suggestion was accurate and saved us money. Will 100% return, probably quite often!

Really great friendly service and food is spot on every time we go here.

Five star tasty food! Thank you

The food is always incredible everytime we come! Cannot wait to come back! The service is impeccable! Overall amazing place!

Fabulous dinner at this restaurant, fresh and flavourful. Can definitely recommend the warm meze platter. The turkish delight treat at the end of the meal was gorgeous.

Everything was great, especially Chef Serhat's special sauces :)

Amazing place, food was superb and service was flawless, cant recommend this place enough

We dined here yesterday evening as a first time experience and we will certainly be coming back! A beautiful family run restaurant who put love into every dish they make. The managers warm welcome gave such a personalised touch and their service through was second to none. The son was learning the ropes and he really tried, he was funny and extremely polite. They don't rush you either. The chilli sauce is amazing, it's an absolute must! We ended up taking two pots home. 100% recommend for a great tasting food, great atmosphere and outstanding service.

I popped in last night to book a table for tomorrow and omg what fantastic service I received from the owner and staff. The restaurant had fantastic atmosphere looked and smelt beautiful inside. i can't wait to come tomorrow expecting great things and omg there Turkish delight is a treat never had anything like it before tasted amazing bring on tomorrow reservation can't wait.

We love going to Rokka. The food is always so delicious, the surroundings are authentic and the service always friendly. Hamit and Emir were very accommodating and engaging… the price reflects the quality of the food and drinks served. A lovely restaurant for a special occasion that doesn’t break the bank… we will be visiting again soon..

First time at Rokka and what a fantastic evening we all had. The food was extremely tasty and the service/host went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. We will be returning and 100% recommend! Thanks

My first time at Rokka rushden (05/10/2024), and we definitely be coming back. So ate in, and ordered some take away :). Clean, family friendly and professional customer service. Visited with my husband and our daughters, and we all enjoyed the food. Well done

First time here with 1 of my best friends. From the outset the manager & staff were so welcoming & amazing & friendly, could not do enough for you. Treated you like family. The food was a bonus, fresh & served right from the grill, stunning food & the cocktails to top it off were delicious. I felt as though I was on holiday again. Most certainly will recommend to family & friends. See you again soon Rokka 🫶🏼

Great food, great service... highly recommended 👌🏻

Excellent and attentive customer service, welcome family runned business. The food is excellent, very generous portions and amazing cocktails. Seek out this awesome eatery

We were made to feel incredibly welcome, nothing was too much trouble, the staff were incredibly helpful, polite and friendly throughout the night and the food was absolutely beautiful. The whole night was fantastic. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.

Delicious food & service. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. A lovely evening.

Absolutely brilliant! Usually go out for Chinese or Indian but thought we would change it up and try this restaurant,we had the sharing platter menu 2 with the hot Meza, it was delicious, I was blown away with every bit, it is a little bit pricey but worth every penny, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, we will definitely be going back again.

We passed by after a long days racing at Santa Pod. The service as soon as we walked through the door to leaving was absolutely spot on, going above and beyond. We all had mixed grills, 5 of us at the table all agreed the food was unbelievably good. Absolute hidden gem, highly recommended and will definitely be back

We had an amazing evening at this wonderful Turkish restaurant in Rushden! The large mixed meat platter was nothing short of phenomenal. It had everything you could ask for—grilled lamb chops, chicken wings, chicken cubes, Adana kebab, loads of fluffy rice, and some beautifully fresh side salads. Every bite was packed with flavor! My wife opted for the vegetarian mezze, and it was absolutely divine. Even our kids had a blast, with our youngest giving it a 20 out of 10 (high praise!). It's a lovely family-run spot, and the patron took such great care of us all night, making us feel right at home. To top it off, we were treated to complimentary tea and some delicious Turkish delights. It’s incredibly child-friendly too, which made the whole experience even better for us. Highly recommend—definitely a gem in Rushden!

Have to say probably the best Turkish restaurant I’ve been too which have all been good but the service, the welcoming and friendly host, the presentation and quality of food was all just incredible. Would recommend to anyone and will most definitely be going back

Fantastic evening with great food and service. Everything freshly cooked and delicious.

I went to Rokka with some friends who recommended the turkish restaurant. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. I had the lamb chops, rice, and salad. The lamb chops were nicely marinated and a good size, tender, and flavorsome. The meal was adequate. A lovely decorated interior with a turkish feel. I would return to this warm-friendly restaurant.

Rokka is a hidden gem that truly shines! The place is immaculately clean and exudes a cozy atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you have a great experience. And the food—absolutely excellent! Every dish is bursting with authentic Turkish flavors, cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!

Standard of a premier level in every way and staff attentive and smiling at all times

Amazing place, amazing service and of course very delicious food , really enjoyed evening. Recommend to visit 🤩

We always have a lovely meal at Rokka. The food is tasty, the wine is good (Pinot is a good one, and properly chilled) and the staff are so friendly and efficient. It's so nice to visit a proper, family run restaurant! We will be back again soon 😊

went here for some food with mum and dad, couldnt stop throwing up the same night, same as my parents. granted this was a while ago, so it may have changed, but it was extremely horrible to get through.

What a lovely restaurant. Went with some friends from work and the food was amazing. Service was exceptional too. Will be taking hubby!

Wonderful food, so very tasty , service excellent, very reasonable prices, will certainly be back, And the baby is really cute x

Fabulous food and service. We had a wonderful evening. Loved it. Lovely Turkish music playing. Almost felt like we were on holiday in Turkey! One small criticism.... the table was quite small, esp for sharing platters. Would highly recommend.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Been greeted and welcomed by the owner that makes the whole experience more personal. Definitely will go back again!

Amazing food , great service . I will definitely return

Fantastic food service atmosphere and cannot wait to return. Thank you for a great evening and experience.

The service and the food were top notch. The bread and sauce before the meal and the Turkish and apple tea afterwards was a nice touch . Will definitely visit again.

I had the pleasure of dining at this delightful restaurant with a group of friends from work. The food was fastantic, and the service we received was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for a beautiful evening and exceptional cuisine. I can't wait to return soon.

Amazing food, thank you very much definitely will be back again

Absolutely lovely dinner for a works do! Amazing food and wonderful service, definitely recommend for all🤩👌🏻 Tasty food and very clean

Really nice intimate restaurant. Super friendly staff and the food was fresh and cooked to perfection. One of the best turkish restaurant I've visited in UK.

Beautiful meal last night, as always. As our local restaurant, we have a habit of popping into Rokka when we can't be bothered to cook and it's always superb. Prawns and Turkish bread to start, followed by succulent lamb chops (mixed shish for him!), swilled down with a bottle of Malbec and a little Turkish tea for afterwards. Simply yum! Very friendly and attentive owners, incredibly welcoming and food is always stunning.

Charming family run establishment. Great food, excellent friendly service. You must visit.

Delicious food, every mouthful was so tasty and fresh! Brilliant service , very friendly and accommodated us with our baby. Food on the pricey side but worth it. Very clean and nice decor.

Always a friendly atmosphere from everyone at Rokka, lovely food and lovely family who run the restaurant.

Excellent food and service! Definitely the best independent restaurant in the area. Also renovating their outside seating area which will look great!

Food was absolutely exquisite and so tasty. Great service and restaurant had a real family feel. Some of the best food I have had for a long time….. DEFINITELY be going again

Absolutely loved everything ❤️ ♥️

Excellent. Really nice meal with lots of vegetarian options.

Incredible food and impeccable service. So friendly and polite, could not recommend enough, we will back to try more of the delicious food very soon

The chicken iskender is delicious, the owner was very friendly and the Turkish tea was a nice touch. Would recommend

It was very expensive for what you got, won’t order from here again unfortunately

Fantastic meal - great menu. Friendly staff and all timed to perfection. No rush at all. Definitely eating here again and highly recommended.

The staff were very warm and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the prices are very reasonable compared with the portion size. It felt very authentically Turkish - the food and atmosphere. We will definitely come back here!

Wow what a meal. The food was so fresh and tasty. Service was first class. Must visit if you like good food. 5 star.

A lovely atmosphere with lovely people who welcomed and served us, the food was really nice and we will definitely go back :)

Delicious food. Lovely restaurant

You won't leave hungry! Great food and service. Eat in or takeaway.

Excellent food and service. The staff are really nice. Definitely recommend and go back again.

Amazing place. We love this resturant as its a very calm place to eat and fast service. quality food and great portion sizes

Oh my god the food was really really good. We had the mixed grill and the lamb was the most tender tasty lamb I’ve ever had!!! And he was so kind he gave us free cup of Turkish tea after on the house. The atmosphere made us feel like we were in Turkey. The food was really really exceptional. The bread … oh my goodness … and the humous so clearly all home made everything so fresh.

Lovely food ,great service, very attentive, friendly went the extra mile , Lovely decor ,nice atmosphere and clean bathroom good for small and large gatherings 😊👌

As always.. superb. Such a nice meal everytime we order from Rokka.

Amazing restaurant we came here for Mother’s Day. Food was amazing taste and price and great portion sizes. Friendly staff and beautifully decorated inside. Good beautifully presented

Great service, great food and great atmosphere

Love this place and the family that runs it. Excellently spiced and cooked meat, very polite and helpful service, and generous after dinner treats. Their Turkish delight is one of the best I have ever tried. Great place to take a date!

Very friendly and welcoming. Top service. The food is something else... Wow, delish... We love the fact it is a genuine family business. Because of that, it feels also very homely. We even had a lovely tradional cup of Turkish tea on the house after dinner. we can highly recommend this restsurant. It is something different from most in the area.

Yet another lovely dinner here last night. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious! Will definitely return again.

We frequent Rokka regularly and the food and welcome is always top notch. Menu choice is good and all food is freshly prepared and served quickly. A family run business that looks after its customers and are happy to see you back again.

Good menu, very friendly family run restaurant. A very enjoyable meal and reasonably priced too. A warm welcome and

Rokka has become our go to restaurant. Food is always great. Run by lovely people. We really enjoy eating out here.

Great family run restaurant with fabulous food & great value for money. Always like to support local family business and this is one of the best. Highly recommend

Brilliant family run restaurant, amazing food, lovely atmosphere & great value for money. Go there regularly. Service amazing and such a lovely family c

Delicious food and very welcoming and attentive staff. Highly recommend!

The food here is incredible, the flavours are unreal!! This is a family run business, they are so warm and friendly and have great service!

Unfortunately, l had to cancel a booking of 10 people in January due to ill health at short notice. This restaurant was very understanding, so l rebooked for February. I'm so glad l did, as the quality of the food and service was of an extremely high standard. Every one of my 9 other guests did not have one complaint. The restaurant layout was very good and clean. It really made my belated birthday special, and l look forward to visiting this restaurant soon

Great. Our first visit. Food exceptional. Great service and we had some advice on what to order which I'm so glad we did. We were not rushed and although I didn't have dessert we finished off with some Turkish tea. Will definitely return and bring friends with us next time.

Very nice restaurant, been there before and I’ve always been most impressed with their food and their excellent service. Really recommend their grilled sea bass if you like fish, in fact, it’s the best restaurant for grilled fish, so tasty. If you’re not keen on fish they have a vast menu to choose from other than fish. Every time I go there, they always make you feel most welcome. Give them a try, you will impressed.

What a great family business. Efficient and friendly service from the owner / manager all evening. Everything was so fresh. Exceptional food.

Amazing food, fantastic service and wonderful atmosphere! When of the best food places you will ever visit 😍

Great food very reasonable price and lovely friendly staff

We went to celebrate our anniversary. We had only had takeout food from here before but really enjoyed our experience dining in…. Wonderful food, great service and a nice atmosphere.

Awesome place, very welcoming staff, mixed shish and baklava were delicious! Turkish Coffee also a nice alternative to espresso! We will be back 🔥
