Tipoo in Nottingham

This review should be taking maturely food is average, not spectacular, but the thing to worry about is staff attitude, no interpersonal skills, nor they know a way of dealing with people, hoovering near customers and serving people behind, and level they talk to customer is steert trash, food is arguably NOT fresh & is challenge anyone who try to prove this wrong The chef who i'd give it 5/10 no more sorry guys 27th Oct repky--- sorry your response is not even grammatically correct English, not trying to judge anyone on personal level , it's a work related thing, I tell you what if i notice something changed next time I'm happy to change this , but till then this is something you'dneed todo from your end

Good restaurant, good service. Seating is a bit cramped. Price is also not bad.

Have dined here several times, this is an absolutely amazing place with delicious food!! Strongly recommend the Tipoo Mix Platter if you don’t know what to order. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can ask to take away the food that you didn’t finish at the end, very environmentally friendly.

Mashallah, this is not just a restaurant; it is truly a house of hospitality and generosity

Nice... value for money. Free starter, which is delicious. It used to be very cheap... now the sharing platter for £48 is just appropriate for 3-4 adults

Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Highly recommend!

This is the best mixed grill in Nottingham. Come here regularly and always enjoy it. Service is decent too. Fresh Lemonade is my tip for drinks.

Love this place, food is amazing every time as well as the portions being very generous and not too expensive. Highly recommend!

Always top notch and not overly expensive.

We visited here today on a whim whilst in Nottingham and my word, we were not disappointed. The place was really busy, even at 3pm and the food was spot on. We all really enjoyed it and the price was fab. £49 for the 4 of us and we didn't leave hungry. Will definitely be back next time we're in Nottingham.

The best place in Nottingham! My friend from far away and she likes the food after a long haul flight. The restaurant is always full with queues at late night. Strongly recommended.

The food is good. Tried their meat platter and it has good quality and quantity. I enjoyed the ambience and the customer service was top quality.

A Turkish restaurant in downtown Nottingham offers high-quality Turkish cuisine with tea and baklava with an Istanbul taste. Friendly staff and top notch service

Food a little cold waitress was very accommodating

We traveled from London to Tipoos If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience, this Turkish restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel like family. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The food is Simply outstanding! Every dish is a burst of authentic flavors, from perfectly grilled kebabs to the freshest mezes. The lamb was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, while the rich hummus and fresh bread were the perfect start. The service is impeccable; the staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make your experience exceptional. Whether you’re new to Turkish cuisine or a long-time fan, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Turkish food with top-notch service! A very special thank you to the manager Cuneyt for an enjoyable evening. Will be back soon

Fantastic food and lovely service and the menu is great.

I recently dined at Tippoo Turkish Restaurant in Nottingham, and it was a fantastic experience. We started with a mixed starter platter, which was a delightful array of flavors and textures. The bread served was absolutely amazing—fresh, warm, and perfectly complemented the starters. For the main course, we shared a platter that was both generous and delicious, showcasing a variety of traditional Turkish dishes. The quality of the food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made for a memorable meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine!

This was a random selection from our search for a halal restaurant on a recent visit to Nottingham. What a great choice we made. The place was buzzing with happy looking families, the atmosphere was generally happy and the staff, although busy and rushed off their feet, were smiling and helpful . We chose to share a mixed platter for 2, which came with good quantities of lamb and chicken shawarma, lamb and chicken kebab and succulent lamb shish kebab. There was also a basket of lovely, warm bread served with humous and chilly sauce to nibble on whilst we waited and salad was served with the main course. Although really full, we managed to share a portion of freshly made kunefe, followed by my favourite Turkish tea. Overall a lovely, tasty meal and we might even consider a 200+ mile round trip to sample another meal there!

Good food and service, value to what you pay for

Stopped here after work after popping up on google. Very nice food eveything was beautifully cooked and served. Would definitely return.

Love tipoo for the food and staff Celebrated my birthday with family here and was welcomed even though we aren't the usual type of customer

Went there with friends and family everything cooked fresh very nice and all at the right price apparently there's no owners and boy does it show enjoyed every mouthful and so did the kids

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! SUCH GREAT FOOD!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS REALLY GOOD!!

Amazing venue! Such a lovely staff, competitive prices. Hint: try to avoid busy hours to get full flavour.

Very disturbing how they treat their staff. Constantly shouting at them. Food was very fatty and their cheese smells like sucks. The tea was nice tho

Great spot with very helpful friendly and 'Hollywood' looks staff, the food comes you way sooner than you have expected. Can't ask for more!

Visited recently for a family meal and it was lovely, the service was amazing and super lovely with any questions we had. The food is well worth the money you spend :)

The food is absolutely amazing. Would come here everyday if i could. Food is fresh, hot and delicious

Genuinely my favourite restaurant in Nottingham overall (to date!) as a forever Nottingham local. Myself and my partner visit regularly, particularly for the unbeatable platters, shawarmas and grilled meats. Service is brilliant and wait times are perfectly within reason. The tea is fantastic also. Visiting tonight so I thought I’d bless them up with a worthy review after years of visits. A must-visit Turkish restaurant for sure.

Tipoo is mine and my partners favourite place to eat in nottingham. I have been coming here since i was young and it has never failed to impress! I would recommend the mix donner shawarma, the ribs and the lahmachun!

Absolutely fabulous place to eat. Great food

Still THE TOP place to eat. Really enjoyed it the food (the head chef Mokhar he does magic with his hands the food he prepared its taste amazing ) service is good as always. It's always good to be back here and never be disappointed. I highly recommended 👌 👍 10 out of 10 !!! 🙌👌👌

The whole experience was fab, from the atmosphere to kind servers to complimentary bread and tips to the food, then tea after eating Very lively for family and friends outing, also great for date outing Next time, I'm definitely trying out the ribs

My favourite place, staff are incredible and the food is great !!

Excellent restaurant, something for everyone, meat eaters and vegans! Thank you for a fast, friendly and professional service!

The food was absolutely outstanding. Despite the place being packed, the quality and value of the dishes really stood out. The menu offers fantastic value for money, and the portion sizes were generous. The complimentary extras, like the tea, bread, and dips, were a delightful touch that added to the overall experience. Even with the bustling atmosphere, the food truly shone and made it a memorable visit. Couldn’t rate Tipoo higher—definitely a top spot for delicious, well-priced food.

Food and service was 10* the staff was so friendly and welcoming, the food was the best me and my son have had from a restaurant cooked and prepped in front of you, the owner very pleasant highly recommended going thanks guys at tipoo Please don't judge on the other 1* reviews go try it's amazing 😍

Awesome, delicious and halal food

We ordered a platter, Amazing food ever and vibe location

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! THEY WANTED TO STAB CUSTOMERS my little sister went in this restaurant yesterday and a family were eating near them. They over charged them over the food and the family enquired why the amount was so high in comparison to the menu they were looking at, they refused to pay so the staff and owner proceeded by telling them that they are not allowed to leave. The family tried to leave and a staff member ordered the other staff to go get Knives in order to stop them from leaving. The family mortified as one of the staff even started pulling on the mothers arm. I'm not going to go in more details you can find it on the news,you should all be ashamed but then again I'm not surprised you do the same things in your country. Your fellow greek, never put my family in danger.👋🏼

Such a pathetic service they have and the food wasn't. Even that good

Really pathetic service Have to call on waiters 20 times before they bring you what you need. No courtesy whatsoever Food was just average. Would definitely not go again.

No restaurant near by comes close to the taste, quality and value of Tipoo. It's nearly always busy for a reason.

I came here yesterday with a few friends and waited by the sign that said “please wait here” For 15 minutes we waited. We were extremely patient and workers kept on walking past us. At first I thought it was because it was busy but when I looked around and saw a worker who was available just look at us i immediately knew why we were not approached and greeted. Not one worker said “bare with us we will seat you shortly” they just kept walking past as if we were not there. I don’t pull the race card but whilst waiting I looked around and we did not look like everyone that was eating and so gives me more reason to believe that we simply experienced racial discrimination due to being discretely denied service on a subtle level. So we simply just left and went to a better restaurant where service was 10/10. To the owner you should be ashamed with yourself and your staff. Everyone is extremely disrespectful but what goes around does come around so not phased really.

Me and my part love Tipoo, Tipoo Restaurant always be no 1 restaurant for me and my husband our Favourite Restaurant in any occasion, we always choose Tipoo. The quality of the become more delicious by time. I can never say no when it's comes to Tipoo. The food is extremely amaziinnnggggggg delicious. We have tried every single menu in the Tipoo. We go 4 or 5 times in a year we go Tipoo every year. If we don't dine in, we will order and collect it from the restaurant. We never face any problem or missing items. Our favourite menu is Izara Platter and Jumbo platter. Not like certain restaurants, the food still tastes exactly the same even you eat at home. This is what we love about tipoo. We fall in love with the food. They serve the HIGH QUALITY FOOD. Every menu omg so delicious. The meat is so fresh you can tell by the colour of the meat the taste of the meat its freeesshhhhhhh. Congratulations to the staff for their friendliness and to the chef for his superb cooking. I wish you guys continue success in the future because you earned it. Also, thank you to all your staff for the cleanliness, We highly appreciate it with much respect. The best thing is we don't have to go to Turkey, to eat delicious Turkish food. Tipoo makes us feel like we are in Turkey! The portion is amazing, The price is affordable and I highly recommend Tipoo restaurant for 1 person, a couple or as a family. Thank you so much, Tipoo Turkish Restaurant and all team members for amazing customer service. Even on Social media, you guys always reply to my messages. Love and respect.

You have to try this restaurant at least once

Really bad service very rude Also the food was cold and not very nice I will not recommend this place.

I always come here with family. Food and service is really nice. 10/10

Iskender was very cold I don’t like sorry

I have been yesterday with my family it’s the best Turkish restaurant I’ve ever been we went from Coventry delicious food

Been here a few times, and the service is not allways the best. But a server called Ryan was so professional and amazing!!! Food was good. Staff were stressed from the busy time. But good restaurant overall!

Best quality-price food in Nottingham. Authentic Turkish food, nice service, and pricey.

Very Nice!!!! I recommend it!!!! Spectacular fresh food, affordable flavors, affordable prices and very good service. Thank you!!!!!

Excellent service and fantastic food. We will certainly return very soon . Food prepared and cooked over a barbecue grill it was so tasty and fresh.

The food was great. Had the platter for 2 which basically feeds 4. The staff were amazing and gave great customer service and the atmosphere was family friendly.

At the new management for restaurant of their meat changed, we eat there three times and got sick, and they not serving halal meat. They bring the smelly Iyran I told them this is lik fish tank smell they said because you drink some of that you must pay for it They said because you try to get discounts for £4 for ayran and I said the problem is not £4 and paid them £60 for ther bill wich was £54 and left them back one portion food wich I was paid them in full the staff was unprofessional and so rude

Nice atmosphere, quality food, Enjoy with family.

We went there on the basis of reviews and it was so amazing. Enjoyed the food alot, prices are very reasonable. We ordered jumbo platter and it was more than enough for 6 people we even took some food away with us. Buklava was just OK but Kunefe was so delicious and tempting.

We are in the city for a Reunion of Royal Nzvy Chefs, and we found this restaurant by chance, and what a wonderful experience, the Food was colorful Fresh and very tasty, and well worth it, a great atmosphere with all ages enjoying the evening, the staff were very attentative to people's needs, and at no point did I see any of them checking their phones. Highly Recomended by a chef.

We went with friend to enjoy today evening. We order tippy player things for 2 person they haven’t got rice at all and food was incomplete according to food menu. Even they are not deserve 1 star . Food was very bad had very bad experience . I would Attched picture to check where is rice and food was not complete according to food menu. Left over they serve us. Talk to business owner he said we don’t care about food and review .

We enjoyed a family meal here. Food was tasty and came out promptly. Complimentary bread and meze served for starters. Main meal was very tasty with good size portions. Will be coming back soon for sure.

Very comfortable restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. The Turkish coffee and baklava is highly recommend.

after a long uphill walk from near Nottingham train station i was pleased to reach here and was pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant was crowded suggesting good food and was not disappointed when i ordered Tipoo 1 i think it was called, appropriately cooked meat not burnt and juicy enough to make walk well worth it.

Outstanding food best I have tasted for a while. Great value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service is very good 👍. Will return must try the lamb chops next time they look beautiful. Food very healthy.

The lamb chops are ace.... Cheers pide also very nice...all good.

Lovely Turkish restaurant , great value for money , the food was delicious . Highly recommend the vegetarian option of moussaka .

Horrible service I had to literally wait for 30 min for my food to arrive and with hungry kids who haven’t had lunch imagine… the staff there wasn’t even minding us. I had an issue with one of my order and I had to speak to 3 different people to get it sorted. Food not worth the hype I have had better food in different restaurants like Kervan sofrasi. I wouldn’t be coming again

Regular visits here. Fantastic food with great service, so tasty! The portion sizes are good and the variety of food is great too. Very good service, very clean restaurant.

we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at Tipoo Turkish Restaurant. The delicious food, cosy atmosphere, and friendly service make it a great place to try authentic Turkish cuisine in Nottingham.

I walk past this place very often and every single time I see it packed - even on a Monday at 3pm its still busy. So we wanted to see what the hype was about and it definitely lived up to it. Our bill came to £46 for 3 people, including a drink and starter and massive plates of food that left us feeling stuffed - we had to take some away! We couldn't believe how affordable it was. The menu had a large selection and all of our meals were delicious. The houmous also came alongside tzatziki, salsa, an aubergine dish and a big basket of bread which was a very pleasant surprise and was very yummy - thoroughly enjoyed. Service was also very quick and staff were very friendly. The only thing worth noting is that it's quite bright inside and doesn't have nice mood lighting like most restaurants which some people may find off putting and it was very loud in there as there were a lot of families and children. But overall, we loved it and will be coming back.

Hop in for break my fasting. Nice staffs. Delicious ribs. I dont like the yogurt 😂. We bought the platter for 3-4, they forgot our salads 🤣.

If you like Turkish food it doesn’t disappoint.

quality food with nice waitroses but not a bit weak management, i guessway to improve but if you are hungry it's worth trying .

First time visiting this place. Upon arrival with it being Ramadhan it was very busy. We were given well aged kajoor (dates) which appeared like theh had been kept in the cellar for a few years. Didn't take long to be seated. Had the lamachun as a starter which was nice. For the main had the Jumbo platter which was disappointing the chops were flavourless chewy and cold. The ribs barley had anything on them. The staff were very rude and the little fat chap with the hat on who must have been the boss was very arrogant and disrespectful. Avoid and go elsewhere

Lovely food. Lovely service. Clean toilets. Can't fault it, happy to recommend

Service was good, staff were nice and polite 👍. I enjoyed my evening there and would love to visit again

No customer management skills. We’ve been waiting for 30 mins and people who came after us got tables before us.

Excellent food and service always

Really good turkish food at very reasonable prices. The staff sll seem friendly and helpful. Very popular place so expect a small wait at busy times. Street parking available

Very bad service. Rude personnel. I am coming here for years now. Very disappointed. No trace of hospitality. Only the new personnel, they are doing their best unfortunately they are replaced. The old supervisors and old people personnel still rude, still no customer service, still bad attitude displayed. A change in old personnel must be considered. Many, many times I eat in this restaurant and many times my ayran is forgotten. No sauce is offered, the food portions are smaller and smaller. The feta salad is tiny now. The shawarma plate is reduced. What is happening with Turkish Hospitality? Please make the place as it used to be.

The food is absolutely amazing!! Very tasty and nice portions!! Great value for money!!

Good food with great price. Need more staff. It’s was busy Saturday nights we had our dinner served without plates!

Asalamulakum really nice restaurant. Hospitality staff food decorations everything is brilliant.

Excellent food and fantastic service. The portions are huge and such good value. Best Turkish restaurant in Nottingham

Really enjoyed the kunafa, one of the best I’ve had. Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of sweetness.

A great Turkish restaurant (HALAL FOOD) Never get disappointed with my favourite food The best dishes in my opinion: chicken shish taouk lahm bi ajeen Mix rice (white and bulgur) During baby-lamb season, lamb chop dish is a must The green salad if you are a fan of vegetable The dip: Cacik (Yogurt and Cucumber Dip) EZME dip Fresh Turkish bread Make space for the Kunafah (a cheese filling) Great and friendly staff Enjoy the tasty "free" Turkish tea

Best Turkish food out there, you won't be disappointed

It’s not my first time at Tipo and all time the staff is amazing. I have an issue with my son who broke a plate there and the staff was really very nice and helpful and tried their best to calm my son. Jasmine and Sophia are really cheerful , nice & so kind. The food is amazing as usual and very delicious, we had platter for 4, burger and Kunafa and all are amazing. Highly recommended.

I went for lunch today at 12. Ordered a platter for two. The barbecue chicken and lamb was definitely reheated from yesterday. The portion of meat was also on the stingy side for two people. The rice served was for 5 people. It was more of a platter of boiled rice with bbq on the side. Was really looking forward to a fresh meal but unfortunately have an upset tummy now.

I am a regular customer at Tipoo’s , I visit this restaurant with my family at least once a week in the morning. I am truly disappointed, today I came around 1pm There is black hair Turkish lady who continued to touch her hair and pick at her face which is fairly not hygienic at all. I asked for my bill from the same lady and she bought my bill and I asked to pay my card and she then left my bill on the table and didn’t bring the machine to pay. I tried to get her attention which she ignored while stood near the doorway. I will no longer be attending here as I didn’t feel welcome At All! I didn’t ask for tea as I was expected to be ignored again It’s unfortunate

I waited 15 minutes to pay the bill and I was the only one, there was no queue, And the cashier is speeding at me, he is very distracted, I think he should renew it. Even though my take way package was ready, he waited until I asked 🤔🤔

Food: Ordered Lamb shish, chicken tikka, ayran and Kunafeh. The meat was well seasoned but little dry. Fries crisp and well made. Kunafeh was not what a kunafeh should be. Too much syrup. Very less cheese and over baked. Ended up leaving most of it. Service and atmosphere: Had to queue to be seated. You have to stand as no places to sit while waiting. But was seated fairly quickly. A bit too much noise from the staff, feels like sitting in a street side cafe. The loud "TING" from the chef when food was ready to be served was very annoying. Overall 6/10 everything considered. EDIT: editing my review as gave it a second go. ordered 2 person platter. was told we can change stuff in it, took our order but then came to told us no we cant. 2 person plater had 4 small pieces of lamb and chicken and small kofte ,the rest filled to brim with tasteless daal and rice? why call it platter. very small portion. meat was not tender again. will avoid next time. Overall 4/10.

It is a completely disgraceful place, a business that is so helpless that it cannot serve cooked tomatoes and peppers with a portion of kebab. Don't advise anyone!!!!

Tipoo is Number 1 in Nottingham.

This restaurant serves Turkish dishes, mainly kebabs. The food and the atmosphere is top notch.

1. Tea was too sweet. 2. Non smiling faces of staff. Need customer service training

Always great food and quick service.

Very nice food , good quality and value for money. Service is good but not perfect, needs improvement, less talking more serving.

Their services is fine both food is good. I will take my friends back to their place again.
