The Nazar Lounge in Bedford

Beautiful atmosphere and nicely decorated. We would definitely go back there again.

Food and cocktails were delicious!! Definitely my new favorite Turkish restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.

We went last night and it was very busy . The food was amazing and so were the staff. There was even someone to open the door for us ! We had a great meal and there was also a singer ! Lovely evening .

The food was nice, a little pricey. Ozzie was more interested in giving the place a good review, and wanted himself in the pictures we took. If the food speaks for itself, then the reviews will come in.

A bit pricey,but the food was exquisite well worth the money the staff were very helpful and considerate I find its worth paying more for good food than buying cheap and then being disappointed Definitely will be dining there again

It was really nice. Food portion was big and made 2 servings.

Tonight, we were here and had a truly delicious meal – one of the best dishes you could ever taste in the world. As an Iranian who loves kebab, tonight I felt like I was in an amazing restaurant right in my own home. The staff and management were incredibly kind and took the time to explain how to source high-quality meat. Their friendliness went above and beyond. This is the only place I am confident about choosing every single time!

A very impressive meal. The service was exceptional, the food delicious. Grilled meats are obviously cooked on charcoal with a smoky flavour, the bread cooked to order and was the absolute best flatbread I've tasted. It's not the cheapest restaurant to dine in but is certainly a level above 95% of Turkish restaurants!

The food was amazing and I would recommend it but do not take American Express... Shame!

Great food and service as usual. Ozzy our waiter has a great, bubbly personality and was very attentive throughout. A nice touch was the female singer in the background. I would certainly recommend this as a venue for a large party group as we were or even a cozy meal for two.

Very tasty food, brilliant service and great atmosphere ☺️

Thought we would try the lunchtime menu for a change and wasn't disappointed. Great menu choices reasonable prices fantastic fresh food and the service was as always 1st class nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend Nazar lounge if you want a tasty authentic Turkish meal in Bedford at any time of day A +++++++

Service was not good. Staff got our order wrong and didn't know the cocktail menu.

Just been for a lunchtime deal. What amazing value recommend to anyone. £11 for starter and main course and it was very good food. I had lamb steak skewered and my wife lamb shank. Delicious 😋

Visited here a couple of times for lunch, each time the service was excellent and a great atmosphere. The lunch menu is not as extensive as the full evening menu, but it has a good choice and the price is very reasonable. I look forward to my next visit

Always great service and great food! Turkish go to in bedford

Nazar is a lovely lounge in the usually lively High Street area and it does impress you with a fine interior decor and the ambience. But what's interesting is the authentic Turkish menu and if you haven't yet tried much of it, picking a dish can be quite tricky. We ordered a family platter and got a lot of items in it, including starters which were lovely, and something new for the tastebuds. The main course in the platter you get is really tasty and quite heavy as well ; more than five people can eat it easily. The food is flavorful, making it tastier with each bite. Note that it is one of those fine lounges so it is a little bit pricey.

We love this restaurant, The owner is a great host. Food is always fresh and exceptional.

The price for a mixed grill and chips was daylight robbery. £25 for 7 pieces of meat and some (admittedly flavoursome) rice, then £5 for a small foil container of soggy chips - won’t bother again

Forgot the rice and naan for the whole order :(

The best Turkish restaurant in Bedford. Ozzy and his team are amazing and food it top quality. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A very poor takeaway experience. Pictures says it all. Edit: Nazar kitchen, I appreciate your reply. However it is concerning and upsetting to hear that the portion sizes shown are correct. The Lamb Humus dish, had perhaps one tablespoon of humus, and the salad, along with being a very small portion, was missing the pomegranate dressing. It is a great shame as I have eaten in and had takeaway from you many times in the past. If you stand by that these are the new portion sizes, then perhaps I'll be headed somewhere else in town next time.

What a wonderful night! The food was everything and more! Saucy, grilled and delicious. Hits all the tastebuds! Such friendly staff and beautiful decor. Will defo be coming back :)

Chips under cooked. I believe all restaurants are cutting corners to get the food on time rather than cook it properly.

received my order to find a tray of 'humus kavurma' with absolutely no humus, just oil and lamb. the 'nazar salad' had no dressing on it at all. Hiked prices since the last time I ordered from Nazar, sad to see the quality no longer matches the price.

Myself and my friends have been regular customers of Nazar for over a year now and I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough! The staff at Nazar are great, particularly Ozzy. He always makes us feel welcome and his customer service skills are great! The food is always excellent and I think the lad doing the card tricks is an excellent edition to an already great dining experience!

Delicious food and wonderful hospitality - we can’t wait return!

The Nazar Lounge Bedford October 2024 Very bad experience in this Turkish cuisine restaurant. Very high prices: a single dish consisting of 5 strips of chicken with a bit of mixed inastala and a spoonful of sauce cost 20 pounds each, around 25 euros! There were 6 of us at the table and out of six orders they got two wrong, one of which the waiter arrogantly claimed was right. After asking for the menu for comparison, he realized his mistake and remade the dish, making everyone who had already been served wait ten minutes. To the final bill, around 180 euros of which 6 shameful minimal dishes based on chicken strips, two beers, three cokes, two liters of water, 1 dessert and 1 coffee, they added 18 pounds for the gold tip decided without our consent . Unfortunately my friend who paid only noticed when we left. Absolutely avoid!

Can't fault anything. Restaurant beautiful. Food & drink lovely. Friendly sraff

I had a lovely meal here, it was amazing but the manager was very rude he basically took our food away with out asking if we were done,then he came over and asked us to leave the table as we were talking he came up and said you have to go,I was shocked nice food but the manners there were bad

Popped in for the lunch deal. Two courses for £10.90 was unbelievably good value and the food was amazing. Quick and friendly service and the restaurant has a great feel to it!

Fantastic delivery driver very polite. Food was hot and beautifully packaged. Just needs to plate up . Comes in individual trays so amazing for a family meal or small party. Lots of food. Great choice. Calamari were beautiful. Absolutely perfect . Order with total confidence.

food arrived hot,great portion size. was my first time I ordered from here definitely will be ordering again. highly recommend.

Wrong delivery! How can I contact them??

Delicious food, great and attentive service topped with an amazing atmosphere with friendly staff. Luckys recommendations were a treat. Will definitely be coming again.

Hubby and I absolutely love The Nazar Lounge!! The staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant was bright and elegant. We ordered the hot meza plate, mixed grill, and sarma lamb beyti. All our dishes were delicious!! We will definitely go back again before we leave.

The deliveroo prices for this place are nuts - £27 for a single 'mixed grill' which came in a tiny box. What a scam

Fantastic all round. What a super place. Went for lunch...starter and main £10. Good portions too Decor is spectacular also ..

Ordered food online and the food is overpriced for what it is. Very disappointing for the price we paid, food is nothing special

I visited the other day and they had great food and a nice interior. Waiters were also friendly and very helpful however the way they get treated is absolutely appalling by management and completely ruins the atmosphere as I do not want to be dining in this environment. It is always different employees serving me as no one wants to stay. I saw plenty of other reviews agreeing with me claiming that the establishment values money over their customers and own employees and how the boss is ill-mannered and greedy. It is such a shame as it is a nice place. I will return when they learn how to treat people fairly and with basic respect !!!

Good tasty food, reasonable prices and great service from our waiter Lucky

First time visiting Nazar and we couldn’t have had a nicer evening! Not only was the food delicious and very reasonably priced for the portion size but the service was excellent, our waiter was exceptional. My 11 year old loved his dessert suggestion!! Thank you ☺️

Was in Bedford for the day with my daughter and we was looking for somewhere nice to eat and I'm so glad I came across nazar lounge amazing service amazing food me and my daughter loved everything. Amazing accomdating staff. Amazing decor 10/10 highly recommend

The best Turkish I've ever had, everything in the mixed grill tasted fantastic, amazing service and great vibes with an in house singer!

Amazing meal! Fabulous service. Will be going back.

Love a bit of Turkish food and it has to be the best food I've had in a long time. The service was again best I've had in a very very long time. I'm booking again for my birthday as it really was a perfect evening great food and great service 👌

Fantastic service team, warm welcome from the moment we entered. This makes our experience all the more special when small touches like opening the door and immediate smiles are readily provided. The decor is special, gorgeous setting. And wow, the food was just incredibly tasty - grill meats are served tender and juicy, and they also served the best Ali Nazak I’ve ever had! Perfect for date nights, family get togethers etc - service is efficient and they’ll serve at your pace. Reading other reviews - we were not rushed at all. If you need more time, just ask. A perfect experience, thank you Team Nazar.

Went away to Bedford for a bank holiday weekend and was looking for some food to eat. Came across this restaurant and was blown away with the great hospitality from the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing and my guy ozzy was an excellent staff member. Me and my wife got a small platter to share (Ozzy’s recommendation) and boy was it tasty. The meat was soft and succulent. It was also tender and not over powered with salt like other Turkish restaurants. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in the area. I’ll even say to people that are reading this, I’ll drive down from London, Tottenham just to come eat here again. Keep up the great food. This restaurant has got my respect

Such a disappointment. Went in for the lunch deal. Ordered starters and mains. Before we had even finished our starters the young waitress brought our mains. We asked why are they here already and she just walked off. The food was not what was stated on the menu and the food was inedible due to them giving us food we are allergic to. They recooked one of the dishes and refused to reheat the other dinner due to it being cold. We asked for a discount due to the errors and they took 30 mins to respond with a flat out no. Never going back there again!

Delicious food and lovely service

Ate here on Thursday evening and it was amazing, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic.

Amazing atmosphere professional management, you can taste the quality, highly recommended

Lovely food, had a big group and can't believe how well they managed and timed the food and how delicious it was when it arrived. Great place!

On first impression, music playing lovely ambiance, table service so quick, but a little too quick , no time to choose drink of choice. Ordered drinks ok. Orderd starters i orderderd a cold starter that should have had grilled aubergine and yoghurt no sign of an aubergine, asked for bread to soak up yoghurt, never came as the were too busy trying to fill tables to compasity . Main course was a wait but thats fine. Lovely place , but need calm down service. Felt really rushed . But staff are amazing ...guys stop rushing people.. x

Very good . Food awesome and staff superb

Disappointing poor quality frozen food served to us which was not even heated properly in microwave and the similar experience was shared by the people sitting two tables away from us ! And shamefully they even charged for that poor quality food Worst restaurant experience!

Certainly! Here’s a sample review for the Nazar Lounge: --- **Amazing Experience at Nazar Lounge!** I recently visited Nazar Lounge, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance is both cozy and elegant, with beautiful decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax after a long day or celebrate a special occasion, Nazar Lounge is the perfect spot. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, blending traditional flavors with a modern twist. Every bite was a delight, but the [mention a standout dish or drink] was a true highlight – bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The drink selection is equally impressive, with a wide range of options to suit every taste. What really sets Nazar Lounge apart, though, is the service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and truly go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations if you’re unsure what to choose. Overall, Nazar Lounge exceeded all my expectations. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t be disappointed!

Had a great time. Waiters made the experience a million times better. They treated everyone in the restaurant with great customer service

Was such a nice experience will come again, Success !

Great food and service. Definitely the best Turkish food in Bedford. Nice ambience as well.

Nazaar lounge beautiful and calm. Ozzy and staff were all great and friendly. Food was 👌 great. Great service

Food was absolutely delicious- wonderful flavours and beautifully presented. Service was excellent, and the whole experience of dining at Nazar Lounge was a delight. I would highly recommend a visit!

We headed down to Nazar tonight to meet up with some friends. We absolutely love the atmosphere, lively and fun without being overbearing. The food is delicious traditional Turkish and full of flavour. Can't wait to head back to try the lunchtime deal.

Very plentiful tasty dishes. I highly recommend this place

Everything was good, service was good, food was good, they were generous with the bread which had the scent of the grill, mezzo was tasty, the only slight criticism I have is that I felt that £6.95 for a glass of beer was somewhat expensive. Otherwise, very good.

Came for lunch, everything was fantastic. Ozzy was amazing. This will be our go to restaurant. Absolutely love the place

Highly recommend this restaurant. Staff, atmosphere and food first class! ♡

Beware We were overcharged by the waiter Who was reluctant to give us our receipt Be carefull of the dodgy waiter Reply to establishment message My freinds have gone down to ur restaurant to speak to u face to face...u added extra items on our bills that we didn't order....

We were staying in the area last weekend and chose this restaurant close to our hotel - so glad we did!! The food was superb and service and atmosphere was excellent. All the staff looked after the 4 of us so well and we felt very welcome. Food was exceptional - we haven't stopped talking about it since!!! Genuinely one of the best meals out we have had in a very long time. If you are in the area this is a "must visit" restaurant!!

My first visit to Nazar, I was with a large group for a retirement party. We were at the back of the restaurant in a private area, perfect for a large gathering. The staff were friendly and attentive, great to see the chefs cooking in the open kitchen. The food and drinks came quickly. We had a fantastic meal, I had yoghurt chicken, absolutely delicious 😋 generous portions, Turkish tea and coffee to finish the meal. We had brought our own celebration cake. The restaurant was spotless, chairs very comfortable. Will definitely visit again ☺️

Visiting Bedford for the Silverstone Grand Prix and found this hidden gem where I had an amazing ali nazik and baklava. Highly recommend!

Great food, generous portions, friendly staff. It was my first visit after finding a voucher on Groupon and I was very impressed

Lovely welcome lovely decor a real hidden gem. With a lot of shish restaurants and takeaways it's very hard for these restaurants to really stand out from the rest. The Nazar Lounge really does stand out. Lovely decor and my partner and myself had a very warm welcome. It was quiet and the service was great perfect for a Sunday lunch. The lamb shish is the best lamb I've had melt in the mouth stuff

My second visit, and I was not disappointed thank you for a lovely evening

Wow, by chance, we walked into Nazar Lounge a few weeks ago on a Sunday. It was our first time in a Turkish restaurant and we were thoroughly impressed with our evening. The food was excellent quality, well presented, tasty and plentiful. The staff and management were very helpful and friendly, Ozzy was a charm!! The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, plenty of space between tables so you didnt feel crowded.the complimentary schnapps was a bonus, so thank you.Next time we're in Bedford we will certainly visit again.

Perfect food every order. Best Turkish in the area

Fantastic Came here for the lunch menu. Lovely food and because they had a big party the night before they had a little bit of hoovering to do and because we had a baby with us they gave us a drink each on the house for noise! which we wasn't phased by it was a very nice gesture! we cannot wait to return ! thank you

Always great experience with ordering with Nazar. The best Turkish restaurant in Bedford

Nazar is our new go to restaurant for date night. It's a stylish restaurant and the atmosphere is great. The food is so lovely and the cocktails are to die for !

Was well looked after by a waiter named Lucky. Food was delicious 😋

Ozzy is fantastic, he has a great knowledge of the menu and looks after your needs throughout the dinning experience. I’ve really enjoyed my lunches at Nazar Lounge and will continue to enjoy spending time at this amazing restaurant.

Although it appeared the delivery was made early, the expected time for delivery kept changing (becoming delayed) after the order. In the end it was not as delayed as indicated and the food was good.

Family dinner for Father's day. Excellent 👍🏿

Cannot fault anything. The food was delicious and the service was excellent

Amazing food fantastic service and the atmosphere first class try this restaurant you won't regret it

The welcome we experienced at the Nazar lounge was exceptional, providing us with an absolutely brilliant Sunday evening meal. We enjoyed trying foods that are new to us, along with dishes with which we're more familiar. The lamb and chicken were gently spiced and tender, the lamb's liver starter an inventive take on an old favourite, the salads were freshly prepared rather than dished out of a packet and the portion size generous. The staff are to be commended on their helpful, friendly approach - their pace of work was discreetly purposeful and it was clear their aim was to make sure our evening was the best it can be. I'm so jealous of people who live nearby - for us this was a first visit but we hope to be back. Congratulations to all, behind the scenes and front of house.

I have to say this is by far the best place to eat healthy ,fresh ,tasty food in Bedford great value and if your lucky enough to be looked after by Ozzie you will love. Thanks for a great meal

Superb Turkish restaurant, amazing and tasty food along with friendly staff. Next level unlocked, food was something else. Thank you guys for the excellent service and special attention received. Coming back for sure. The sharing platter is a must!

The best restaurant in Bedford!

Fast and friendly service nice and clean surroundings, some of the best garlic and chilli prawns and the kleftiko was fab but only one criticism it came with mash and carrots and was expecting Mediterranean vegetables ie pepper and onions tomatoes I will definitely be back and recommend

Authentic, fresh and tasty food.

The meals and appetizers were both very diverse and delicious. Me and my wife have a gourmet palate and this place offered us an oasis from heaven ❤️ This will be the only place we will go to when we come to Bedford every week. (I think it should get a Michelin star) the food is great, the ambience of the place is great and we would also like to thank the staff, they were very attentive, especially Ozzy, he made us feel like at home. Our son gave an arrow 👍👍

This is the Best restaurant we have ever been. Everything was so delicious. Staff are also really friendly. I can absolutely recommend this restaurant. There is nothing we didn't like.10/10

Overpriced. Nothing to write home about. Baba ganoush was laden with yogurt and extra bread was outrageously charged.

Food was delicious & plentiful, lovely decor & extremely friendly & courteous staff. Best Turkish Restaurant in town!

Food always 10/10 and staff always going the extra mile. Perfect dining experience and for sure best Turkish in town

Very good food and service ..expensive because quality comes with cost

Excellent service, food was amazing and it came quickly, hot and ready. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is serene, and the staff is incredibly kind. I would highly recommend it. 👌

Seafood salad was amazing, best wishes to the chef!!! Service is brilliant. A+++ restaurant!
