The Nazar Lounge in Bedford

The best restaurant in Bedford imo. Thank you Ozzy for such wonderful service and fabulous dining experience 🤩

We visited in March, have been meaning to leave a review but only just got round to it! We were looked after fantastically by Ozzy, he was very attentive and welcoming, made the experience much nicer. The food was great, both my wife’s meal and my own were great. We will definitely be back for more!

Very good service, food was on point/time. Everyone was friendly and specially Ozzy, definitely recommend it👍🏼

Food is great and service is amazing, especially Ozzy has been very helpful and welcoming. Definitely will come back again!

Thank you Ozzy for a fantastic experience. The food and service was impeccable, we will back again…and again 😊

Great food and very pleasant service. Certainly worth a visit.

Ozzy was great food was quick and good would recommend

Service by Ozzy was excellent and the food was delicious.

Phenomenal service definitely coming back again. Was served by Ozzy great buddy made the experience magical for us

Beautifully presented place, tasty food, cocktails and great service.

Wonderful meal and atmosphere with great service from Ozzy and Hakan. Food was first class!

Had an amazing birthday meal here this evening. We were a party 4 with one of our guests being a vegetarian. The surroundings were warm and inviting. The staff were lovely especially Ozzy who was our main server. Not in our faces but very attentive and friendly when needed. The food was amazing, best Turkish food I have had outside of Turkey. Would definately recommend dining here and would be back in a heartbeat, but as we had travelled especially to eat here after my son recommended it, we sadly won't make it back for a while.

I had a family Sunday lunchtime meal yesterday to celebrate my birthday,there were seven of us ages ranged from 6 - 91 and we all really enjoyed ourselves,the food was delicious and thank you Ozzy for looking after us so well.We will come back again soon.

Great Food, Great Atmosphere. Ozzie and his staff were very accommodating, would definitely visit again!

Our first time being here! Was absolutely amazing our server Ozzy was fantastic

We had lunch here today for the first time. The lunch deal is £14.99 for a 2 course meal. Ozzie was our waiter a lovely guy warm and friendly nothing was too much trouble. The menu had a lovely selection for lunch, the food was delicious large portions for lunch time. Can highly recommend it we'll be back soon thank you Lorraine.

Wow!!!! What can I say about Nazar!!!! We went this evening for my wife's 40th Birthday meal, there was 9 of us. The service was impeccable, attentive and a sense of urgency about the service. Ozzy our main waiter was amazing and friendly and did a 100% job. The food was immense. I love Lamb and the Lamb Chops and Ribs were the best I have had for a long long time. It's my 45th next month and we've already decided that we'll be back for my birthday. I think this has now become one of our favourite restaurants. Absolutely outstanding service and food, thanks guys 💯

Best food best service, couldn't of hoped for better. Ozzy was amazing!

Food was great and so tasty and there was great atmosphere and staff. Served by a staff member called Ozzy and he was fantastic and very attentive and friendly to us. Provided great service and definitely made it personable.

Best Turkish restaurant I’ve been to. Staff are lovely and attentive Food is amazing with great portions, more than you can eat. Definitely be back

Had dinner here with some amazing friends over the weekend and have to say what incredible food, service and hospitality, fantastic guys keep it going.

My first visit to Nazar. The Nazar is a great spot with super friendly staff and good service. The food recommended by staff is very delicious. Definitely worth a visit again.

Amazing food as always. Visit made extra special with Ozzy as our waiter. Top bloke. Top service…..and always with the biggest smile. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That evening, I had an argument with my boyfriend and was very upset. Since it was a special day and I was already out in town, I decided to dine on my own. I was close to the venue and went inside. A very courteous young man greeted me at the entrance and showed me my table. Although the place was quite crowded, he took his time in making sure I'm feeling comfortable and answered a few questions about my food and drinks order - all with a smile and very genteel. My drinks and food came in quite quickly, all very tasty and presented in an excellent way! I had grilled lamb, at it was fantastic! Entre and salad fresh, and tasty, drinks of a high quality, amazing service - it all smashed away my bad mood and I ended up in having a wonderful evening. Not to mention that I reconciled with my bf, given my great mood and next weekend we both had dinner there, and had same great experience. Highly recommend!

Really friendly staff. Restaurant was clean and well presented. We hadn't booked a table but it wasn't a problem. The service was really quick and the food was very good. The waiter helped with the menu and made suggestions.

Amazing staff and great food. Ozzy and his team were able to make us 40 meals for our crew and packaged everything perfectly and on time. We all loved the food. Thanks so much guys !!

Went for lunch while in Bedford for a conference. Clean and stylish decor. Delicious lamb shank ; large portion. Nice efes beer from the tap. Friendly service from Ozzy. Highly recommended.

The service was quick and had a great ambiance. Sadly the food wasn't though the portion size and presentation was good, the lamb kebab we ordered weren't fully cooked.

another amazing evening at Nazar - food was amazing, now my children are converts. Staff are great with fantastic service, Ozzy is a great host! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Thank you Nazar!

Beautiful gem of a place in a convenient location , Superb service from start to finish , attentive staff , great ambience an Food was yummy as always 😋 Highly recommended by us 👌 See u again soon . Keep up the great service 👍

Ozzy made sure everything was great for the day and thank you for the experience,

Great service and food.. Unsure what to order leave it to Ozzy he will make an excellent choice for you.

Excellent service from Ozzy, delicious Turkish food, excellent value lunch menu.

Visited for two course lunch menu. Exceptional service by Ozzy. Top tier food at an amazing price. Highly recommend!

Food was really delicious and good value for money, and the service was attentive. Nice Turkish wine too!

I was initially drawn to this restaurant based on its favorable reviews and secured a reservation in advance. However, upon arrival, I was disappointed to find that we were not seated in the main dining area as expected. The experience continued to fall short of expectations. Our starters were served cold, and although the staff assured us they would be replaced, the same dish was returned after a brief reheating rather than a proper preparation. Additionally, our main course was significantly delayed, which further impacted our dining experience. I also found that the service was lacking in attentiveness, as we had to request tap water multiple times. Overall, these issues combined to create a subpar experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on my visit.

Enjoyed a delicious meal last night

We had a great experience at The Nazar, brilliant atmosphere, outstanding food and Ozzy was an absolute gent!

Superb family meal for a birthday celebration. Awesome service by Ozzy… including a complementary desert for the birthday girl which was out of this world… yum 😌

Wonderful food, excellent service, great value for a quality meal. A fantastic experience in all respects. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant. If we ever return to Bedford, the Nazar would be a 'must revisit'. Outstanding.

was a lovely experience, ozzy was fab and bought out a lovely cake for my nans bday !

This restaurant could kill someone that has allergies. The waiters and manager were advised of two guests having food allergies. There was no regard for the customers safety, and both customers were served food with those allergens. One guest had a severe allergic reaction to nuts. We specifically asked the waiter for a cake that had no nuts, he did not even check with anyone and recommended the red velvet cake. When the cake arrived the guest ate it, only to realise that there were crushed up walnuts all over the plate and frosting of the cake! Thankfully, she had some allergy medicine present, but this could have easily taken an unfortunate customers life! We write this review, in the hopes that the management will take the allergies of their customers seriously, and realise, they could have potentially killed someone. The outrageous thing is, there was no remorse from the manager when they were alerted, they simply offered to "take the cake away" and even charged us for this cake on the bill. Its a real shame as the food was amazing, we will not be going back.

Great food great atmosphere recommended 100%

I'd heard good reviews and had to try it myself. Oh my. Fantastic food and I recommend the lamb shank!

Ozzy is a charismatic man, he was on point with his service and professional attitude. Good was fast out, especially considering fully booked out at middle of Saturday night. We'll done to the team effort. Atmosphere was difficult for acoustics, but half of that was due to a very inebriated table next to us. Apart from that the draft from the front door was a little annoying but these things are difficult to address. All in all, we'll priced, great service and good experience.

Great atmosphere, amazing food, very fast service and polite staffs, what else can I say ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you especially to Ozzy

The Nazar Lounge is a great spot with super friendly staff and really quick service. The food is delicious, and the lamb ribs were a standout—tender and packed with flavor. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

We had a coupon given to us, well worth a visit

Great food and service, very nice interior design, much recommended

We came on a Sunday as a family and had Ozzy serve us. Great food and even better service, would definitely recommend visiting!

We were served by ozzy, not the first time we’ve been here and certainly not the last he always makes us feel welcome and service is on point food is outstanding and highly recommend eating here

The food at Nazar was amazing, the service from Ozzy exceptional. This was our first visit but definitely won’t be the last, the food was quick to come out and delicious, great all round. Thanks also for supporting the blue light discount.

We had set meal for 4 people and had to say for £25 a head it wasn't to bad, the squid I think needs to be two each not one but apart from that it did fill the gap. 8/10

My review isn't a true reflection on atmosphere as we were there on opening 4 a early lunch and as expected quiet. Although it having been valentines it started filling up as we left. We had been recommended for the great value 4 money lunch time deal - but with it being valentines- cheap deals are off the menu - understandably. We ate from the main menu. 2 diners. 2 starter. 2 mains . 1 alcoholic drink . 1 coffee. 1 soft drink . Approx 65 pound. Restaurant is beautiful- looking.4ward to an evening return where I believe sometimes they have entertainment.

We really enjoyed the food in the restaurant and it was an amazing time.

Husband n I came for a romantic dinner 💕 When we first arrived the young man who greeted us and directed us to our table was very welcoming and friendly. Food came quickly not much waiting time at all . The rice was amazing and of course the hummus (which I love 😍) the chicken was not the best but I think it might had just been my chicken that I didn't like maybe the flavour or something I'm not too sure however my husband chicken and mix platter was amazing 😍 We don't have any complaints other than my chicken but I pretty sure I just wasn't sure about the flavour of my chicken . Orange juice was fantastic aswell . We would definitely recommend:)

Amazing restaurant. Came for my mother’s birthday and the wonderful Ozzy brought us a cake with a sparkler. 5 star treatment all night. Incredible food (as usual). Highly recommend.

Popped in for a quick lunch and was treated so well by ozzy and his team . food was delicious , on time and well attended to . Will be returning back .

Amazing food, amazing portions 🤩

Found this great little gem Amazing food Service was great We was served by a guy called Ozzy, he was so welcoming and friendly and the portion sizes are HUGE Recommended the chicken bethyi it was very tasty and the falafel for starters was also good Would definitely come back again for another visit

Excellent venue Excellent food Excellent staff , Ozzy gave some great food recommendations 👌🏻

Food was good. Would be better if all the dips were homemade. Big portions and amazing desserts.

Nice place with tasty Turkish food.

Lovely place. Great food. Had the best gauva cocktail

Amazing food! Spot on service!!! 100% recommend

A great place and the food was amazing. There were 20 of us and everything went smoothly.

The best lamb chops in Bedfordshire!

Enjoyed NYE. Everything was good and the waiter (sorry forgot name) he was wonderful and made us laugh all the time. Everyone else was as nice. Thanks for having us.

Great Turkish food, reasonable portions & decent prices. We were looked after by our waiter, Hakan. I would definitely recommend if yr in Bedford & fancy some quality Turkish food!

I’ve been to the Nazar lounge on several occasions with family, friends and work colleagues (for work-do’s). I cannot recommend the Nazar lounge enough. The food here is amazing, there are plenty of options to choose from on their menu at reasonable prices. The food is delicious, I often go for the wings. I don’t normally like salad but at Nazar lounge, their salad is the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. My plate is always empty when I come to eat here. Because of this, I am always eager to bring people here that have not been here before! On top of that the service here is always amazing, staff are kind and attentive. They always make sure that we have what we need and check if we are enjoying our food. I appreciate how genuine and hard working they all are to make sure our experience there is a good one. In addition, the Nazar Lounge has a great aesthetic and is perfect for hosting celebrations and dining in big groups (they have a separate section to host for bigger groups), as well as catering for smaller groups. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious and was still hot upon arrival.

Everything says classy from the service to the food! Amazing place for great food and ambiance.

1st time dinning here and wish I had been here a long time ago. By far the best Turkish food I have had in Bedfordshire and I could not recommend this place enough.! Excellent service by Ozzy, with no rush or push to get you in and out! Wine served with great care and expertise. The flavours I can’t describe, you need to try the food for yourself to understand what I experience. Well done Nazar, keep it up and you will definitely be seeing me again.!

Staff were very kind and helpful from the moment we entered, food was great and served quickly, there was an amazing live singer and the atmosphere generally was really good.

Please avoid this please. We recently had a Christmas dinner and they have charged an extra 5£ service charge per person and still asked for more money from my manager saying that not everyone paid for their drinks. Very bad organised and trying to take as much as they could from our pockets, rip off literally… so disappointing when you go to have fun and you get this kind of treatment back.

food was amazing so now we have to visit for a meal.

Amazing food and friendly staff like it a lot

Thenkyou lervene amazing food specially done for us as we can't have meat on Xmas eve the array of fish was so tasty dfinetly will be back every Xmas eve oh and the mussels in the sauce if only I had that recepy I'd sell it to Gordon ramsey for millions

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.

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.

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 .

Over 2 hours I waited for my food which didn't arrive. My delivery time kept being pushed back. I rang the restaurant which they said it was out their hands and it was just eats problem. They took zero responsibility and just passed blame. Joke!

Food was exceptionally dry. Almost inedible.

Absolutely delicious, warm, prompt delivery, good value for a lovely meal.

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.

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

Forgot the rice and naan for the whole order :(
