I’ve visited a few Turkish restaurants before, but Spark Kitchen and Bar in Hoddesdon is by far the best. The food is absolutely sumptuous, full of authentic flavour and beautifully presented. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and make you feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is warm and accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

The food’s really filling that I couldn’t finish it and I feel bad about not being able to, yet it’s very tasty. The atmosphere is welcoming, even if it doesn’t seem so on the outside. When you can’t finish everything, they let you pack it on your own. Which is pretty clever, because then you can decide how much of each food you want to pack. the staff are all friendly :3

We visited the 'Spark bar abs kitchen' for the first time and it was a great experience. The gentleman that served us, Dennis, was a brilliant host. He made us feel welcomed and had us laughing throughout our time. Even surprised me with a slice of cake for my birthday and I even got a lollipop. The food was amazing, full of flavour and plentiful. We left feeling full and had leftovers too. I had a frozen cocktail which was brilliant, the fruit inside was not soggy, stayed solid, so nice. The prices are reasonable here too. Music in the background, gave it a nice atmosphere. The service on the whole was 10/10, especially for our first time here. We'll definitely come back and we'll bring the rest of the family. Definitely worth a visit.

I had dinner at Spark and honestly, the food was incredible. I ordered the Lambshish and it was cooked perfectly—flavorful, fresh, and just the right portion size. The seasoning was spot on, and you could tell they use quality ingredients. I also tried the spicy beef sausage which was just as good—crispy, and not greasy at all. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail in the flavors. Everything tasted balanced, not too salty or overpowering, just really well done. If you’re a fan of Turkish this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for sure!

Went to Spark with some friends last night, I haven’t been for a year or so and was shocked at the changes in portions. I ordered the mixed grill and was given 2 small cubes of lamb and 2 small cubes of chicken along with the normal skewer length of Kofte. 2 small cubes of chicken and lamb on a mixed grill for £23! Even the rice portion has halved and was no bigger than 2 tablespoons. The plate was loaded with salad to bulk it out but definitely not worth the money.

Be sure to finish off your meal with a rich Turkish coffee and the decadent chocolate brownie—such a sweet ending to a wonderful meal. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had our staff Xmas do here and it was very busy. However, despite that, the food was excellent and served with it's own unique flair. Even the bread with the meze dips was different and very tasty. I honestly don't know how the staff coped. The only thing that spoiled it a tiny bit was the live music that was too loud for my liking and pretty much killed all conversation for people over a certain age! But that's not unique to this location and lots of people like that. But having said that, I'm really impressed and I'd definitely recommend it as a venue. I'm guessing that out of the holiday season it's going to be quieter. Parking is also easy. It's not obvious but there is a public car park just a very short walk through the pedestrianised centre which has free parking after 6.30.

I have been going to sparks ever since it opened. But tonite has been the worst service ever. My partner doesn't eat rice so we have always changed rice for chips. Tonite we were told we can't do it no more so had to pay for chips. We waited so long to have our orders taken tables came in after us eat and left before we got our food. Wasn't told that you now pay for the breads you get. I can't drink alcohol so asked for some water got given a small glass of water warm not even any ice. The waitress wasn't that pleasant either. Sad to say I won't be going back again or even recommend it to any one has I have in the past

Booked The Highland restaurant for Mother’s Day and was a complete disappointment as our whole family (table of 20) left after 2 hours without even all being served our starters. Waited 30 minutes for a menu and for our drinks order to be taken and another 30 minutes until we got them with half missing. After a painful 2 hour wait, we decided to leave as everyone was hungry and still no sign of all our starters arriving. The owner called on the following Monday to apologise and to offer our family a meal on the house to make up for it and after spending £160 on the deposit and leaving hungry. We have left several messages and sent 2 emails to book a table and our calls and emails have been ignored! I don’t personally like to leave bad reviews, but they have left us with no other option. On booking it for Mother’s Day, we were promised a small gift for every mum and a delicious 3 course meal. There was no gifts and most importantly, we left with no food. The lack of poor service is due to greed and booking in more people than they can accommodate. If booking for a special occasion, I would avoid at all costs.

Ordered three kebabs through just eat. Cost around £45. They didn't even send any sauces. In fact, they wanted another £6 for sauces. An absolute rip off. The portions were small and cold. I will never eat from this place again.
