You really have to wait a long time, I waited about half an hour, there is a shortage of staff, and only one person does most of the work, and their kebabs were so thick that they didn't break down, we tried five types of food, we only liked one type of food.

As a Gaziantep native and a Turk, I can easily say that the taste of the food is very, very bad. My wife and I could never finish our meals. We left the restaurant hungry. The plates are very small, everything is almost on top of each other, and the service is very bad. The only good thing was the attention of the waitresses. The loudness of the music in the venue was also very disturbing. A total disappointment

We celebrated a small family birthday at Saray Restaurant on City Road, and it was fantastic! The coal-cooked meats were juicy, lush, and delicious—making us feel like we were in Turkey. The chef's expertise shines through, and the new management creates a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. It's perfect for both kids and teens, and the value for the quality of food is exceptional. Highly recommend for any special occasion or family meal!

Excellent dining in experience, had dinner with visiting families. Succulent grilled foods. I was also pleased with availability of a masjid for prayers in the restaurant (we pray your business continued to be blessed) Clean surroundings with aesthetic pleasing decor. Toilets were clean. Tea and baklava were complimentary. Would visit again and recommend. Parking tricky, very limited street availability. No tap water for table, but you can buy a plastic bottle- environmental unfriendly option.

Lovely place with a very good vibe. Lots of seating area decor was creative with an authentic feeling. The food was nice with flavours but could have been presented hot rather than warm. The service was friendly and efficient, and I appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of a prayer area for travellers who come from outside the city.

I’ve been eating at Saray for years and it’s been one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff, that is until the recent sale of the business which has RUINED the credibility the previous owners worked so hard to build. The food is now awful. Cheap ingredients, clumpy overcooked rice, watered down sauces, fatty and tasteless meat. Had a few mouthfuls of my meal and had to leave it. Left the restaurant feeling sick. Such a shame.

We been there @ 10:10pm they said they still open but have to order quick because kitchen will be close soon so we order large plater within 2 minute. Food arrived within 8/10 minute but ribs was raw when bite chicken it was crispy overall very danger food and charging us £108.00 . Best part is 10 minute after they serve the food and they only gave another 10 minutes then kept coming to us and reminding us we are closing @ 11:00pm So we have left this Rubish place at 10:50pm

This was our second visit to Saray, and I can't say enough about this place. The portions are lovely and big, and the prices are very reasonable. Everything on our visit was cooked to perfection. The ambiance is fantastic; it's cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal It also looks like they can accommodate for large families with big tables towards the back of the restaurant. The service is exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who are very helpful about the menu and happy to make recommendations. Lisa and I had the mixed grill for two people, priced at just under £42, and it was truly enough for four people, they also offer platters for 4, 6 and 8 people. Our dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, we was offered chips or salad with the dish but we opted for having both and the portion was fantastic enough for us to take him home with us as we was unable to finish our meal . The salad and complimentary meze were also excellent, and we didn't need to order starters or desserts as the main meal was more than enough. To top it off, we enjoyed a complimentary Turkish tea with baklava at the end of our meal. If you're looking for a good, authentic Turkish meal on a budget, this is the place to go.

We had a terrible experience at the restaurant. The food was average, and while the waiters were nice, the supervisor was awful. She kept bossing the staff around. When we asked for the bill, she ordered a waiter to follow up. Upon presenting our credit card, she called us to the counter despite having a portable POS machine. She then asked us to select a tip, which was embarrassing, which is something no other restaurant in the UK has ever asked us to do. Our entire group agreed that it wasn't worth the visit.

This place was disappointing. We had recommendations but the food was average. The person serving us was reluctant to make any basic accommodations to support our dietary needs and had to call a supervisor to do so. He was immediately accommodating which we appreciated. The food was fine with delicious bread and dips but one meal came after the others were basically finished. Having to buy a large plastic bottle of water for £3 as a management "policy" refusing tap water is ridiculous, we avoid plastic for environmental reasons, let alone tap water being free which is a bonus. There's tons of other options nearby, just skip.

I would like to write this review with complete honesty and explain exactly what happened to me and my family after buying a takeaway meal last week. We ordered 4 half chicken and what they called mixed miza. Firstly , I was really shoked with the high priced meal, we had been charged £60 and I did raise my concerns with the lady who owns the restaurant, she did explain that she had many employees and that cost her money and with absolute rudeness she said the prices will go up more as she didn't like that i raised that concern with her. Anyway, after waiting for more than half an hour, I took my order home. When me and my family started to serve the meal, we noticed that the £10 mixed miza was not in the order although we have paid for it. I immediately contacted the restaurant , and a lady by the Ola, I explained to her that part of our order was missing, and that i will attend next few days to have our money back, she agreed. We started eating the meal and we noticed that there was a bad taste of the rice and we decided to eat the chicken only and we threw everything else in the bin. Couple of hours after that me and especially my other family members experienced abdominal cramp and my son started to have diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Obviously, these symptoms related to the meal we ate, especially the rice which looked and tasted very bad and we think it was a leftover or contaminated and not clean. Thankfully, our symptoms especially my son's did improve. After few days attended the restaurant and I spoke with a person on the main reception desk. I explained to him what had happened and he replied and without showing any sympathy, what you want us to do. I replied that I need a refund for the missing order and also that I hope that this could be investigated as a manager to prevent this from happening to other people. He didn't like what I said, he started to say he was very stressed . I told him that at this point I am happy to leave it here and I am not going to write any feedback about our horrible experience. Very aggressively and rudely he replied and said to me 'go and write your review and do what you like', as he's not concerned and dies not care from the bad review I am going to share with other customers . Then he came around and he accompanied me to the front door wanting me to leave the premises. I would advise anyone who is going to take a meal as takeaway from this restaurant to be very careful and to be safe and I really don't like any family to go through the same what my family been through. There are some other much nicer, cleaner and cheaper restaurants in Cardiff that you can choose from. Abdul
