Taste of Turkey in South Ribble

A stop 5 mins from the motorway, best decision we made over a motorway services. The food was amazing, and the staff were unbelievably warm and welcoming. They were very accommodating to our 10 month old and the chef even came out to welcome us, check the food was all good with us, and even offered to take our toddler into the kitchen and let them cook. We 100% recommend this place and will definitely call in again.

The best Turkish Restaurant in the World.

Ordered Turkish breakfast, very yummy and fresh ingredients. 👍🏼

Excellent food and service! Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. Great place to eat!

Very tasty!! very nice staff! the meat is gorgeous!!!

Lovely evening with my brother and sister, we met halfway from our homes and landed at Bamber Bridge. This restaurant was chosen from its amazing reviews and did not disappoint . Beautiful food and a gentleman for a waiter. Thank you for catering for all our wishes.Hope to visit again .Kind regards Jan

What a little hidden gem this is … from entering the service was impeccable and the man who served us very polite. The food what can I say one of the best I’ve ever tasted so surprised with how good it was. Me and my partner couldn’t believe how moist the meat was and the flavour everything about it was just a lovely experience and we will Deffinatly go back. Thank you taste of turkey 🇹🇷

Very attentive hosts and the food was incredibly good

We had a nice evening meal, celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The food was very nice and the service was amazing. They also gave my daughter a piece of cake and sang Happy bday. We’ll definetely cone back. Thank you! (We had spicy sausages and hummus and other starters, mix grill and chicken grill and baklava - amazing food)

Well what can I say , one word , fantastic. The food , the waitress and service with a lovely cosy location , if in Bamber Bridge it’s a must .

Tried the Taste of Turkey Meaty Munchie Box and Doner Durum The wings, and Adana kebab were really good chicken shish was ok, nice marinade but the meat was dry, the rice and grilled halloumi were cold The chips were soggy and the doner meat was no good, it was too thick and dry. The doner durum was no good because of the aforementioned doner, also it was tiny for the price. Wasn't keen on the sausage or the bread but that's probably down to personal taste.

Back again this time for breakfast. Brilliant once again, Turkish breakfast highly recommended

We got the Turkish breakfast and shakshuka today. The food was very delicious, brilliant service and very nice atmosphere. One of the few restaurants that knows their spices, the shakshuka in particular was one of the best I tasted.

Amazing food and friendly atmosphere 😋 👌

We always go for dinner and this time we decided to try the breakfast. Best brunch 😋👌, loved it

Had lunch here and it was excellent. Incredible value for money for such specialist cuisine. Going to go again in a few days.

Ordered lamb shanks 2 of us couldn't cut into it it was so tough had to send it back but they still made us oay for one

Brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Amazing food and the team there were all helpful.

We eat out a lot at restaurants but this place was a true 5 rating. Food authentic and tasty, small but intimate restaurant. Will definitely be back. Spencer.

Their food and the level of hospitality are remarkable! The food is absolutely superb value for money. If you love some beautifully cooked meat, especially lamb, visiting this place is a must! Gul, the lady of the house, is an amazing hostess. She will make you feel like you’re her personal guest and will treat you accordingly, with the utmost care and attentiveness. Our whole family had our Christmas lunch there last year, on the actual Christmas Day. There were no astronomical prices and no set menu with all the boring traditional Christmas dishes served in other places that are open on Christmas Day, no requirement to pre-order. Everything on their usual menu was available at the usual price they charge for the rest of the year. No fuss, no drama, just delicious food and most friendly service!

Small cozy place. Warm staff. Good food. Liked the idea of putting up common turkish words to learn. But only reason giving 1 star less is the food was slightly expensive. Over all nice place.

Recently we tried Taste Of Turkey for the first time and were very impressed! Everything was fresh, full of flavour and meat cooked perfectly😍. The owner recommended to dine in next time for the best experience and we will certainly be following his advice and returning! 🍴What we had🍴 Mixed cold mezze platter Mixed grill special for one Kuzu şiş More local reviews on my IG @niceatsuk

We eat here as often as we can, and are always made welcome. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff friendly, awalkways ansking after family, and the food is just amazing. We generally get the special mixed grill, because it’s just soooo good. And the baclava and ice cream is the perfect way to finish the meal. We can’t rate Taste of Turkey highly enough. It’s our favourite restaurant by a country mile!

Very Very good food with nice service. You can feel like in Turkey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend this restaurant Thank you . ❤️ Dziękuję PATRYCJA for super great service.

Don’ t usually write any reviews about places to eat but Taste of Turkey deserves a mention having just returned from dining there this evening. I feel like we could have chosen anything from the extensive menu and it would have been all as tasty and authentic as the dishes we received. Atmosphere is lively for such a small place and the staff were friendly and helpful. No rush at all in between courses and couldn’t fault anything. A real gem in Bamber Bridge and we will be returning very soon

Had a great meal with friends for little money.

Visited for the first time & will definitely return. Arrived to a warm welcome, service was friendly and professional all evening. We were a party of 4 who ordered a selection of starters & mains but requested all came together so we could share and eat in tapas style. The manager explained it would take approx 35mins to ensure all food was prepared and ready to be served together, which was fine by us as we happily enjoyed a very nice bottle of ephesus white. Small restaurant so must book a table, you won't be disappointed

Great service and lovely tasty food. Definately come again

Food is excellent, lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere! P.S thankyou for my birthday 🎂

Wow what a little gem of a place ! Food beautiful in a intimate setting, must visit again soon

Been to this restaurant twice now and having nothing but praise for the food, service and overall quality! Absolutely amazing easy to find little spot in Bamber Bridge with nearby street parking. The staff are wonderful, the two ladies (forgot to get their names!) were a delight! We booked for 7 guests and the food was perfect for each and every one of us. Complete value for money. Definitely make a reservation as this is a place you don’t wanna miss out on. A massive thanks to the whole team at Taste of Turkey from the Shirazi family.

Fantastic food, good service, lovely atmosphere, cosy...been twice now and really like it. Nice and friendly also. a great dining experience keep up the good work and complements to the kitchen

Been tonight and the food was lovely. Didn’t feel rushed to finish and go! Staff was also lovely definitely recommend

Cosy and authentic food ,very good service and value.

Visited with 3 generations of family last night 13/1/24 and it was excellent, we had a home in Turkey for 14 yrs and this was very authentic, everything was exceptional. Will definitely visit again. Prices very fair, and food plentiful , staff friendly and pleasant. Brilliant night with family.

Amazing food, perfect for a couple or small family. Best cooked lamb chops I’ve ever had.

Food was good, clean toilet, parking can be difficult. Friendly staff. Chips were best

Loved the food and the atmosphere. All the staff friendly and efficient. As said in previous posts the chef also came out to ask if our food was to our satisfaction. Will certainly be going again. Just home from Taste of Turkey and I can say nothing has changed ! Still excellent. Had the chops with bulgar wheat and a side salad followed by a pistachio cake with ice cream. Can't wait to go again.

A really lovely restaurant with lovely staff. The food was exquisite. I can't wait to go back. As soon as you walk in you there you feel that you are in Turkey with the decor and the music. A very good find.

So lucky to have this place literally across the road .We have been a few times since they opened and every single time it has been amazing. If you haven't been why haven't you ? The food and service is absolutely 5 star

I was looking for somewhere to celebrate out wedding anniversary when BOOM! I found this gem. It's the first genuine Turkish restaurant we have found in the UK - Turkish in its welcome, its atmosphere and, especially, its food. Chef patron Hakan has cooked all over the world but it's clear his heart is still at home because his short but well-chosen menu showcases some of the best Turkish dishes, from crisp fresh sigara borek (cheese stuffed pastries) and gloriously fresh ezme to perfectly tender lamb cutlets cooked on the ocak (indoor charcoal grill) and moreish bulgur pilav. There's a decent list of Turkish wines and lovely touches like the Turkish coffee and lokum to finish the meal. While service is gentle and polite by Hakan's charming wife Gul. My husband is Turkish and my father-in-law is a Turkish chef of many years standing so believe me, we know what we are talking about. This place is a real find and we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely first class. Went tonight as a family of 6 and we all had different starters and mains and every dish was absolutely stunning. Each dish was perfect 😋 Good value on drinks prices and service was excellent, not rushed but attentive and really good value for money. Will return and recommend for sure 😁

Incredible good service and great taste of Turkish cuisine 🇹🇷 definitely recommend it to everyone. Family runs business, friendly staff and great service!

Warm place, with great owners and delicious food. I especially recommend you to try their grilled meat. The chef's marinating and tenderness of the meat are incredible. I really enjoyed all I ate.

Ate here last night with friends for a birthday. Cannot recommend it enough, the service was so welcoming and friendly..its a lovely little place with a nice atmosphere and the food was delicious! 10/10

Small restaurant pushing out big flavours, great food and friendly staff.

Really great food and the atmosphere and feel of the place is wonderful. Will definitely be returning

Amazing food. Well seasoned and moist meet. Food served hot and quickly. Bulgar pilaf and yogurt dip were Delicious. Will be back.

Excellent friendly service. Actual eye contact from staff. And they smile too! (I know that you'd be forgiven to expect this as standard but so often you go to places now and the service is appalling. But... Not here!!) . Great tasting food. Helpful and attentive team.

Food was excellent, service they couldn't do enough to please you. Atmosphere was great so friendly highly recommend 👌

I've eaten here a couple of times now. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff and owners are friendly, nothing is too much trouble and it is spotlessly clean. Will definitely be back on many more occasions

Nicest staff ever. Quality of the meat is superb.

What a lovely little restaurant. The staff are all friendly and the food is delicious. Some of the nicest grilled meats, seafood, salads and nice Turkish wine. Great value for money and generous portions. I’ll certainly be back.

Amazing food and the service was great! I went to Turkey on holiday and this meal was better than my actual meals in Turkey. I had the super mix plate for 1, gave you a nice variety and everything was very good. Been on holiday in the UK for 5 weeks now and this was one of our best meals!

First time here, won't be the last. Really enjoyed the food.

We went to dinner for my daughter's birthday.The staff was very polite and professional. Meals were delicious. Make yourself and your loved ones happy with this kebabs

We have been twice recently. Really nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Great food, full of flavour, good-sized portions, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back. It's a little gem of a place

Always good food, very friendly staff and good service.

2nd visit to this restaurant last night. Busy, great atmosphere and again good service and lovely food. Can only handle 2 courses so we opted for starters, mains followed by coffee. Oh and of course a bottle of wine!!

Really good food and nice people.

Excellent food, visited several times and it is always lovely

The best Turkish food I have ever had outside of Turkey. Really a 10/10 experience. Staff are friendly too!

Fantastic little restaurant, great food, and great service. I have been a few times now and never been disappointed.

First time , definitely not last . food was 10/10 . mix grill wow . 👌

We had our second meal from Taste of Turkey last night and enjoyed it as much as the first. Our children love trying the various meats, salads and dips. Next time I want to eat in as the restaurant has a lovely ambiance and the staff are very friendly.

Im gonna give this place 5 ⭐️ because the food was insanely delicious eventhough the service wasnt the best. The man waiter was a little rude, didnt smile once at us lol but i’m not the kind of person that will lower a rating based on service. I can get over that, maybe he had a bad day or something. I came for the food, & the food was 10/10 but some others might find him unpleasent

Food is put of this world and the Turkish coffee is lovely

Excellent meal! Nice atmosphere too. Baklava is to die for.

Super meal, delish food, you know that anything you choose from menu will be lovely. Service, really friendly and efficient. Always busy so you'll need to book 😉 Enjoy!

First time ordering food from here but based on the very positive reviews I thought I would give it a try. I ordered takeaway to collect and they were very quick with the order and it was ready when I turned up. I ordered the mixed meze hot starter and the mixed grill for one. First of all I have to say teh flavour and cooking of teh food especially the mixed grill meats was very good. Really tasty and ever mouthful. My only negative (and this is only mentioned as I hope the restaurant takes note and makes some changes) is that the period sizes were on the small side. In ordering the mixed starter (most expensive starter) and the mixed grill which again was fairly expensive I assumed that I would have plenty of food to go at. However I have to say the portion sizes were pretty small and below what I expected. One point for example is on the menu for the mixed grill it says you get lamb chops (I.e more than 1) but there was only 1 chop and it was very small. The amount of meat in total for what is a mixed grill seemed small. Even the bulgur pilaf which was very tasty but the amount was small and this is a very cheap product so I was disappointed. I did eat every last bit of the food as I said it was very tasty but the truth is I was still hungry once I had finished and has to go looking for more food in the kitchen at home! So overall well made and very tasty food but the portion sizes are quite small which means I ended up disappointed after spending almost £24.

Absolutely brilliant. All of the food came out quickly and was freshly grilled. Highly recommend anything on the menu which come with bulgar wheat or the chefs sauce. Staff were very nice and made everyone feel welcome. Overall 5/5. Highly recommend.

Amazing authentic Turkish food, cosy little restaurant with warm and friendly staff and superb value for money. I highly recommend a visit here but book in advance, it's a popular place! We'll definitely be returning. Thanks for a lovely evening and the delicious food!

An excellent meal from start to finish, the food was just delicious. Perfect portion sizes. My favourite has to be the chocolate pistachio cake! Will definitely be returning.

Our 1st & definitely not our last. Make sure you book your table. They are understandably very busy. The whole ambience of this cute little place is lovely. Well it doesn’t feel like you’re in Preston when you’re in there, that’s for sure. The food is absolutely amazing!! So tasty, so fresh, so Turkish :) The staff are super friendly and we were well looked after. I can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!!!

We've had a wonderful evening here both times we've been. Gorgeous food; waiters, waitresses and chef all a really friendly bunch and very attentive. They made a birthday meal a very enjoyable one.

Our first visit early on Saturday evening and it won't be our last. The staff were lovely and friendly. The place was very clean and the food was freshly prepared, very tasty and really delicious. We had the house red Turkish wine and that too was excellent. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Nice little place good service we went with the kids they helped entertain them which helps Thanks

An absolutely superb restaurant, food is just like in Turkey ,staff are polite prices are acceptable it's a fantastic place ! We were really happy there and definetly will come back soon. Highly recommended for everyone . I give 5 + 1star . Thank you.

Brilliant. Really well priced. Great service. I had a mixed grill. Was cooked to perfection. My daughter had a steak / the other daughter had a lamb kebab - both were lovely - i tried a bit of both :), and my wife had an aubergine and minced lamb dish - again it was lovely. Would highly recommend.

Never left a review for anywhere food wise. This place truly deserves my first. Some of the greatest food I’ve had for years. Attended tonight with my partner, and so glad we did. Having had 2 starters, and a special mix platter mains to share. Honestly don’t have the words for how impressed we was with this little gem of a find. The staff, the drinks and everything about our experience was spot on. Don’t hesitate to give it a try; I’ll refund your bill myself if you don’t love it 😂

Small place with excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend!!

We had a superb night here. Lovely warm atmosphere and welcoming staff. Food was amazing and enjoyed every morsel. Definitely recommend and the owners should be proud of themselves. Will be back. Update. Visited again on 15/02 and not disappointed. Great food and a warm welcome. This place is a gem in Bamber Bridge...wish I could give it 6 stars

I didn't have a booking but was fitted in. Food was authentic and delicious and the atmosphere was really good. Lovely little place. Totally recommend.

Beautiful food. The cold and hot mixed starters were delicious. The kebabs were amazing, so juicy and the best. The desserts were delish too. Service is lovely and we felt very welcome. Thank you for a lovely meal 😊

Food cooked beautifully. Very good value for money. Could see the chef cooking the food. Enjoyed it all. Would definitely recommend it.

Absolutely lovely food great service and atmosphere.. Keep up the good work. We will be back

What a fantastic venue. My son booked for a large party for my 60 th birthday. The owners opened early to accommodate us. Small but beautiful. Owners are so friendly. Was like visiting old friends. Food was absolutely delicious !!! Freshly cooked. Unexpected touches like slice of cake with candle, birthday sparkler and plum lacquer wow. Highly recommend this venue. Will definitely be a return customer. 🍰🎂🥳🙂

What a delicious mixed grill! One of the best, up there with Jaffa and Ottoman 👌

Called in late evening without a reservation and we were welcomed with open arms. The food was excellent and the service matched the food. We had hummus starter followed by a mix grill for 2. We will be back for more. Thank you for a fantastic meal and being made to feel very welcome. P.S. Thank you for the chocolates. Dean & Julie

What an outstanding gem of a restaurant! The food is spectacular and the hosts are the friendliest. The Adana Kebap is the best I have ever eaten, better than the ones I ate in Istanbul. The starters are top notch. If you want authentic Turkish food, this is the place to choose. I would go back 100%.

They are a lovely restaurant and friendly 😊

Recently visited with family for the first time. Food all freshly cooked. Authentic Turkish dishes. Specialities also on offer. Menu catered for vegetarians and gluten free although choice was limited. Waiter was friendly and helpful, recommending dishes according to our taste. The surroundings were clean and tidy, and with a cosy atmosphere. Car parking is either in close by side roads or restricted areas of the main road. No car park available. Catering for disabled people would be a challenge, due to the size of the restaurant internally. The entrance is a standard size opening. A variety of alcohol and non alcoholic drink options available. Turkish lager is recommended! On average we each spent approx £25 for a 3 course meal, Inc drinks. I would recommend trying A Taste of Turkey if you have not yet been.

The food is fantadtic! Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

I really love this little restaurant. We are delighted that they moved to Bamber Bridge.

Ate here last night. Just fabulous. Great good quality food. Staff very welcoming Lovely place. Lovely atmosphere. Will go again for sure.

Excellent food and service. Tried different dishes in there. No complaints, just good quality.

Food was delicious and service was fantastic

Very friendly & welcoming staff & excellent Turkish wine!

Had an amazing meal at the Taste of Turkey in Bamber Bridge. We got a mixed mezze starter, and for our main meal a mixed grill for 2, so we could get a taste of a variety of flavours. And wow what an amazing meal. Every part of it was tasty and fresh. What a little gem of a place. We will definitely be going back.
