Taksim Restaurant in Coventry

Very bad service & bad attitude In complementary bread basket 80% dark burned bread slices, notified twice but no improvement

Nice & clean staff is really friendly and helpful..food is really tasty 😋

I went there with my whole family this place has turkish food atmosphere is very nice they make really nice kunafe

Very nice hospitality. Food was amazing. I will go again. Must try their chops.

very nice place to have a lovely meal. wether you want a chill dinner or more of a party setting they’ve got it all. highly recommended

As someone who rarely leaves bad reviews this is one: Taksim is a big restaurant but not very busy, it is mostly empty, this can be explained by the very expensive food, which is practically completely bland and flavourless. I wouldn’t recommend as the food isn’t good value for money. The staff are not good with their service either. Don’t go here when there’s much better options all around Coventry

I had an incredible dining experience at Taksim Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, with a menu that offers a great variety of flavors for every palate. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The ingredients were fresh, and you could really taste the quality in each bite. The staff deserves special praise as well. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. They were attentive without being intrusive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Their recommendations were spot-on, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. Overall, a fantastic place to dine, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend for both the food and the friendly, professional staff.

One of the best places for Turkish kebabs. Excellent ambience, very professional service, and of course delicious foods.

Very very very good! I recommend this restaurant. Thank you for everything. (They have very delicious food. It's a decent, quiet environment. The waitresses are clean, neat, and good. It's a family atmosphere. I definitely recommend it. This is our first time, we are cooking iskender, lentil soup, cigarette boregi, etc. with my wife, all of them are good. Come and enjoy yourself easily)

Great place to eat with yummy food and reasonible prices . This is my go to place in coventry

Good atmosphere outstanding spaces

Today, I spent fifty pounds in this restaurant, they give sauce for two people, the same sauce for three people, the same chips, the food is very bad, also the mixed kebab for two people and three people, only rice was added. It was my last time here.

Toilets need improvement All amazing The staff super polite specially Gagandeep . She have amazing customer service. Food is great and portion size is great value for money

The food is excellent the staff go above and beyond to help. Lovely place

Rubbish I ordered food over the phone for them to tell me an hour and a half after that they won’t be delivering it since it is Eid. Rubbish

It was our first visit family of 4.we ordered a mix kebab and chicken shwarma with mint mojito. The seating was fine deco was of course turkish style lol.music nice melo turkish.the service was fine and we were happy with this the lady lovpreet was very helpfull and kind. Now at first we were given the complementary bread and sauce and olive they that was nice. To order the sauce again there is a extra £1 charge per pot.... thats was a strange one any how chilli sauce and ketchup free and food overall was nice just chicken shwarma was slightly dry in between. But rest the wings and kebab was lovely taste salad rice all good.

I come to this restaurant often, they always accommodate with kindess, great service and amazing food . All the staff are so friendly and very welcoming. This place is always are go too. Highly recommended this place.

Food was really good and customer service top notch

First time at Taksim and it was lovely. We went early evening and only 2 of us for a catch up and it was ideal. There were mainly families in, kids have their own space to play inside but free to wonder around and enjoy. Nice family atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helped us with what would be good to order. We enjoyed the starter of bread, dips and olives. For main we had a mix grill for 3 so we had plenty andil it was lovely. Really well cooked, the rice and couscous was well flavoured. There was a good mix in the grill of lamb, chicken, wings, kebab and ribs. We didn't have dessert but the menu looked okay, there were a few different options. Finished with a nice Turkish tea. There is a little parking space to the rear of the restaurant and you can walk in the back door. Definitely going back. Thank you to the friendly staff.

Love Preet is very sweet , attentive , lovely and it very nice , we had a great time thank you

great for family and very kid friendly, loved the interior

The food was delicious. We came as a group of 10 people and we were all satisfied. Thank you to the friendly staff.

Lovely food and service was great! Really handy that there is a space for kids - just needs a few more toys but was great for the kids to run around in.

I had bad experience with the services who serviced my order. I have left massage online so they can represent my order online as I ordered for gifts. My order was baklava and others. whoever was picked and packed my order they cheated on my baklava as they cut it one baklava in two pieces in pack so the pack get full. I couldn’t believe what they did. I will not buy from them any more.

We took the whole family including a 6 year old for evening meal. The restaurant was easy to find and has a massive car park at the rear and when we entered we hadn't realise how big it was as it stretches back. the décor is really interesting and different to the standard restaurant's in the area. the menu was brilliant and so varied. it even catered for the young members of the group. some of the group required Halal meals which the restaurant caters for. we ended up ordering a spread of meals from the menu and all sharing. to be honest none of us could pick fault with the food. it was all fantastic. the serving were large and the staff packed up some to take home. The Turkish tea is fantastic and I could not stop drinking it. the staff are really polite and helpful, they could not do enough for us even though the restaurant was quite busy. I was so impressed, we are going to take friends from the USA here and are planning to have a works event here too This is a real gem and highly recommended

A little hidden gem, great food and attentive service, friendly welcoming staff, well worth a off the beaten track visit.

Just visited this amazing restaurant. Being an owner of a restaurant I am very impressed with the service today from this lovely waitress I think her name goes by Gangan, sorry if I have misspelled it. She needs a raise in this restaurant. Exceptional service!!! Food was lovely too

Lovely pleasant place, very big restaurant with parking and kids play area. food is good halal and good big portions. Nice staff.

Very good service 👏 nice food 👌 thank you

I was a regular customer but sadly, I’m really disappointed ☹️ with the delivery service. 1 hour and 50 minutes later and after 3 phone calls, the food was almost cold. The man who came to deliver the food was not an actual employee of Taksim. From what I gathered, he was a friend giving them a favour. So why advertise if that service isn’t available.

He played such songs that I wanted to drink raki, there was no raki :) It is called a Turkish restaurant, but there are no Turks :)

Nice food with great service. They also have parking at the back and we all loved the food and staff was super friendly.

This is my first visit to the restaurant, and I can safely it’s the best Turkish restaurant in Coventry. The chicken kofta was awesome, and the chicken shish was delicious!! All freshly cooked in front of you too. The Turkish rice was the best I’ve ever tasted, and nice thick chips and salad to complimented a perfect meal!

I Just had a really bad experience at this restaurant, we were two adults and ordered a meal for £40, The kids had some chips or fries. The meats were not well cooked, the bread was too burnt. They are very expensive and charging extra, At all they have no good service and have no value for customers .

The naan bread had literal insects in it🤮 other than that the rest of the food was amazing

Fantastic friendly smiley server she made me feel comfortable and welcoming, I ordered a lamb kebab wrap and pop the kebab was the tastiest kebab I have had in ages Would recommend this place to family friends put me in a good mood

Took 20 mins to take the order Which was wrong when the food arrived asked for chilly sauce and water never turned up bad experience sorry to say not the first time at this place

The restaurant needs deep cleaning, under the tables there are gum which are stuck to the table and we had to change tables because of an insect. It needs a deep clean.

Good food and reasonably priced platters. The restaurant needs some repairs, care and attention. Kids play area helps when you have kids and want to eat peacefully.

The food is very good here. Big portions and delicious. The iskender is my favourite dish. They serve ayran here and decent Turkish chai. I've had the Turkish coffee once and it wasn't made properly so I wouldn't recommend it. The place is huge and can accommodate big parties.the waitress was lovely. They always are. Lots of parking available round the back.

I ordered a takeaway last night, it took almost 2 hours to come through. When I asked what was happening, i was told to be patient because its a busy night, that staff very arrogant. Im a regular and after that im never going back to such horrible customer service.

We have ordered a family mix grill for 4, we had to wait an hour only to be told that they don’t have rice and we will be served with out it. We said we don’t mind waiting for the rice but kept insisting on bringing the grill out with out rice. They brought out the rice eventually but they were undercooked. Disappointed!

This place is awful. The inside and atmosphere is terrible and stressful. The waitresses are kind. But the whole environment of this place is truly awful and horrible to sit in

Meat is all ways chewy not well cooked.

spacious restaurant could do with updating. Good quality food. Unfortunately staff very unprofessional. There were over 30 of us friends and family with children. Booked well in advanced so they were expecting us. It's seems they were short staffed. Only one person t Took all our orders. We waited almost 2 hours before the food and drinks came out. While waiting we did not receive any complementary nibbles, no water, not even an apology for the delay. Some of us didn't even get our drinks until the meal was almost finished. One of my friend didn't get everything he ordered. Paying the bill was very stressful we were charged for food we don't get. The staff argued with us. Hospitality, customer service and common sense lacking. I will never go there again or recommend them. It's such a shame because the food was tasty.

Staff very polite, food excellent, fresh and reasonably priced. Would recommend the lamb sheesh/cubes, very tender, well done chef 👨‍🍳 👏🏽.

Regular customers who support local businesses but will never return after today. We ordered our usual and a chicken burger for a three year old. The burger bun was burnt and inedible, we then asked for a replacement and a cold bun came out which was falling apart. There was no sauces provided with the main and no one even bothered checking how anything was. We had to ask for basics like ketchup and mayonaise and straws as the paper ones fell apart on the mojito. We went to pay and made our concerns clear and the gentleman serving started to argue about the burger and how he was going to refund as we had taken a bite. Someone from behind calmed him down and said we will refund, no apologies or anything. We still left a tip but the experience left a sour taste. I feel embarrassed as i have recommended this restaurant to many people

Food not bad. Dirty / messy place, well behind European standards.

I booked a table of 35. Unfortunately, it took close to 2 hours before we were served anything. Tables that arrived after us were receiving complimentary bread before we were even served our drinks. We were not even served tap water until after our food arrived as we were told there were a lack of glasses. I understand that with a large table there will be some delays, however, the booking was made days in advance and they clearly did not schedule in enough staff. When I made the booking, I was told that we could go up to the till to order and pay separately, however, when we got to the restaurant I was told that we can not do this, and would need to be put on a bill all together, which cased a delay in the end. Due to the lack of staff, the atmosphere was tense, and this was shown in the staffs demeanour. We could hear them having disagreements, and some being shouted at while trying to serve the food, which was not professional. There was also issues with the food. Some in our group had ordered platters for 3, while others had ordered platters for 2. There was no clear difference in either, which caused some confusion as to if we had been served the correct things. But the staff did not pay too much attention to this and just insisted that we had been served the right things. There were also some items that were ordered that were never received, yet they were still put on the bill, so we had to double check this before leaving. However the taste of the food was nice Overall the food was nice, but very much let down by the service. We did not receive the warm welcome you would expect from most Turkish restaurants. As a group, we paid well over £300 even after all the issues, and was offered no discount or freebies for the inconvenience. Its a shame, but they have lost 35 people who wont be back.

This was honestly the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever received. To begin, we booked for 35 people with a roughly a week’s notice. It took 1hr 45mins for my food to arrive, with no tap water or complimentary bread being served whilst we waited. I’ve never been to a Turkish restaurant where we wasn’t greeted with complimentary bread and dips as soon as we sat down. Me and my 34 guests were fed up and extremely hungry to say the least. To make matters worse, other tables were receiving bread whilst we waited. When we asked about where our tap water was, they stated they ran out of glasses! They also stated that they were short on staff but if you knew we had 35 booked, why didn’t you ensure you had extra staff on hand? There were also issues with wrong orders being sent to the wrong tables. When we raised our concerns, we were just told that we were wrong and they were right. This caused much confusion and some were forced for a platter for 3 when they only received a platter for 2. Also, by the end of the night, many drinks/milkshakes never arrived. We had to double check the bill to ensure they were removed, as we were still charged for them. The food tasted nice but considered the extremely poor service…I will never be returning. This was not the Turkish experience I’m used to, I will definitely be going elsewhere.

Disgusting food not cooked properly the meat is cheap food was cold also

Food was okish but the service was one of the worst I have seen in Coventry so far. Food were almost thrown on the table and while clearing the table staff asked very rudely to give forward the glasses from the middle of the table towards her!!!

The best turkish restaurant, definitely recommend!

We have been devoted clients for more than 2 years. We have always come here for a great supper or to hang out with friends. Not much room for complaint. Up to yesterday. I would give it a zero stars since I left without feeling like my concerns were taken seriously or addressed. We came over yesterday evening . We bought the three-person plate with mixed chips, rice, and four strawberry mojitos. They did let us know that the meal will be 20 to 30 minutes later than usual. which was OK to us because we were prepared to wait. An hour and twenty minutes later, the food arrived. And we quickly realised that we had received an entirely incorrect order. Given that it was merely a rice dish. Hence, there was no sign of chips . Second, there was just not enough food for three people platter because there was no meat at all. We inform waiter of the issue. And all that is said to us is, "It your platter, the chef cooks from a receipt and doesn't make mistakes." Alright, so why are we sitting with just a rice platter on the table when we specifically requested a rice and chip platter? There was no spicy chicken or chicken shawarma. I reiterate that this is not our order because we have been coming here for a long time and are familiar with the appearance of our food on the table. And it wasn't correct this time. We were never able to complete the platter of the three-person plate. with four individuals. However, it was all gone this time. Yes, we did complete it. However, the waiter became combative and impolite with me. I was turned off by this. utterly impolite and unwilling to pay attention to me She merely said, "This is what you paid for, that it," before turning to go. After that, we immediately departed. Disappointed. and heartbroken that you lost such devoted clients.

Wonderful food. Great staff. We went there early so not really chance to le the atmosphere build up.

I went here yesterday the food was nice but over priced don't get much for your money really.

Every time I’ve been I haven’t been disappointed, food and service are consistently good, and prices are reasonable too!!

Great food - reasonable price Specious venue

Everything was perfect staff was extremely polite great atmosphere and magnificent food

Superb food lovely staff wonderful Atmosphere 10/10

Very good restaurant. Very lovely and spacious. Entertaining Turkish music. And the Shawarma was the best I ever had in the UK! Kudos team...I'm definitely coming back here soon.

Excellent food and friendly service, recommend any time. A Prayer room too .🙏

Excellent Turkish food is served there. The place was super busy during our visit but a waiter was doing her best to serve us quickly. Highly recommended!

I was stood at the till for 5 minutes while two colleagues were talking about their life,i was asked to take a seat and given menu options,we ordered special grill for 3 which had sheesh kebabs,chicken wings,lamb and chicken cubes,half rice and half chips,the young girl with the headscarf took the order actually recommended we get half chips half rice We were given a bread basket with very tiny pots of sauces, when the food arrived and we asked for some sauces we were told these would be extra which didnt make sense so we had these anyway. Meat was very tender and salad was the best part, then we waited for sometime fr someone to come over and bring a bill. We were just left to eat and no one asked if we needed anything else or showed us a tea or desert menu so we left, also when we asked for extra sauces we were told it would cost us 4.95 which is ridiculous,but the lady managed to bring us another small tiny bowl and said it would be £1 only

In my opinion, the food is delicious and cheap.

Food is just okay. Cold maZe is fine as well, humus not good though I wouldn't say it is the best turkish I tried ! But the attending staff is lovely.

First visit today and cannot fault it. Really good food, lovely staff & service. Can't wait to go again.

The service is awful. The waiters are always too busy serving the larger groups. Food is nice however I definitely will not be returning since all of a sudden after a while of dinning here it now costs £5 for a small pot of hummus. Previously the hummus was provided with the bread. The waiter became very unhappy when I questioned her about why I am being charged £5 for hummus when all the other times it’s been free. I did ask for the hummus as this time it did not come out the with other dips and bread but I was not made aware that it now costs £5 extra to have a small pot of hummus. If that was the case I would have not had it!

Amazing grilled platter and there hot meze is to die for. Definitely going to visit again

Used to be a good place but not any more with the new staff, don’t except card payments anymore, also can put orders online

Good fresh food. Baberque lamb ribs with couscous

Excellent food, very nice staff and amazing atmosphere. Please do not let the restaurant shop front deceive you. It is absolutely massive. The food tastes great and authentic.

Brilliant Turkish food with taste.

Lovely Turkish food for dinner lunch time menu ,prices are reasonable at lunch which is until 330pm. Nice atmosphere and easy parking at the back

Their food is lovely, first class, gave it 4 stars because of location, its a nightmare finding parking there

Very nice food, I have been back a few times now. We have only had takeaways

Very good food and service clean and very reasonable prices Friendly staff definitely recommend to all

Nice and fresh food and service is very good!

The foot was fresh and tasty 5 start for food. It was our first time here and the staff was unprofessional, looking all the time upset. We asked to seat on the sofas a table of 4 and the lady said will get very busy, even though the restaurant was empty.

Had some kind of steak with my family, a nice Turkish restaurant!

This restaurant is lovely, not much from outside but, so much better on inside, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was so tasty and service was quick and perfect.

I booked this wonderful place for a charity Thank You Leaving Do. From the moment I reserved the table on the phone to the end of the meal, everything was perfect. A special thanks to Floriana for supporting us and for giving us a beautiful insight in to her own culture and nationality which fitted in well with our mixed table of nationalities too! We were always served with a smile and nothing was too much trouble for them. The waitresses definitely deserve a raise! The chefs food was also amazing and everyone enjoyed it. The decor is beautiful and took me back to Turkey. Very happy with this place and will happily be back again with others. Many thanks. Farzana

Food great selection including starters. It was early when we visited looked like staff just starting but all ok.

Perfect food, very fast service and affordable. Mojitos are excellent and probably the best I've ever had.

Came here with a friend from Birmingham. I always come here for the platters. On this occasion we ordered a platter for 3. The platter was small, looked like it was a platter for 2. Food was good, it always is.... On finishing we asked for the bill, we waited 15 mins no bill arrived. Decided to go to counter still had to wait 5 mins before being served.

Best Passionfruit Mojito by Selina @ Taksim

2nd visit to this place now and the food was just as good as before, always enjoy the free hot fresh bread that's served before the main as it lovely with the dips provided, also the food is always plentiful and I once again ended up taking the rest home to have later as the portion sizes are very good, would easily reccomend to anyone

I don’t recommend this place because they are changing their mind every a few times. This is not professional for business. They don’t deserve customer loyalty from my point of view.

In the last 2 weeks they increased the price 45 % for mixed grill platters On top of that they cut off from portion Absolutely discusting I used to like this place but now they ripp off the people So be careful there are better prices in town

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taksim Restaurant in Coventry, and I must say it was an absolute delight for the senses. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and the tantalizing aromas of authentic Turkish cuisine. Taksim Restaurant is a hidden gem that truly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant's decor effortlessly combines traditional Turkish elements with a modern touch, creating a comfortable and stylish ambiance. The menu at Taksim Restaurant is a treasure trove of Turkish delights. From classic mezze platters to succulent kebabs, flavorful rice dishes, and indulgent desserts, every dish is prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The service at Taksim Restaurant deserves special praise. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to offer recommendations and catered to dietary preferences or allergies with ease. Another highlight of Taksim Restaurant is the generous portion sizes. The dishes were not only delicious but also satisfyingly filling. The value for money is exceptional, considering the quality of the food and the generous portions served.

Lovely quiet ambience, not crowded even on weekends. Food was great kebabs were juicy and flavourful. Small play area for kids although not well maintained.

If you like excellent Turkish shawarma and kebab visit this place. The service was mediocre the atmosphere was subjective. The Live kitchen grill will have you salivating. Plenty of free parking round the back with an entrance there too. We had the lamb and chicken shawarma, chicken wings and mixed kebab with lamb ribs, wings, adana kebab all with chips. I wouldn't go for the hot mezze again though. Succulent and well seasoned meat.

Szybko, sprawnie i o tak później porze. Taaaki tłum ludzi. Mistrzostwo dla nich że ogarniają to :)

Delicious food I have ever had, really good food and friendly staff. Best place to have family or friends dinner. 10/10 love it and will recommend. 👍🏻

I recommended this place to my friends for our last iftari before eid as I came before and enjoyed the food, this time it was completely different, we ordered our food at 7:40pm for it to be served at 8:15 which is the time to break our fast, instead it arrived at 8:40 by which we were really frustrated & not happy, 1 hour wait on food, once it’d arrived it wasn’t that great, they forgot my child’s chicken burger and she had to wait 15-20 minutes more from the time our mains arrived, once it arrived it was a shocking frozen chicken steak burger that looks like big nuggets, for £8 you can go to any takeaway and restaurant in Coventry & get a proper chicken breast burger from the kids menu, this was very poor, to top it off it had big chunks of cucumber & pickled cabbage inside, I don’t know what planet the chef was from to put that inside a child’s burger. What also ruined our experience was the lack of attentive service, it was poor, lazy & simply lacking, we had to order our drinks twice & my child’s food twice before it arrived. The value for money here isn’t great, we were charged £3.99 for a pot of chilli sauce for our maincourses, every other Turkish restaurant I’ve been to provides this complimentary. Service 3/10 Food standard 5/10 Value for money 5/10 Overall I wouldn’t think twice to come back, we’ll just go to the other Turkish restaurants in Coventry who provide great service, great food & great value for money.

Ordered food at 8.30pm hadn't come at 10.50pm do not go to the restaurant its so bad and now they won't pick up there phone so I have lost £26 and have nothing to show except a empty tummy. This is the 3rd time I have ordered and its late will not order again and will tell others not to order as its so bad such a shame but don't order if you actually want to eat.

Food has never disappointed here. Always get quality right. Nice atmosphere and plenty of space for dining inside. Can accommodate larger groups easily. Service can be hit and miss depending on who you get and how busy it is but on general is good on most occasions.
