Turkish Chef Restaurant & Wine Bar in Amber Valley

So pleased we found this restaurant! Food was delicious, we especially loved a selection of the starters and may well just order more of those next time we go - we will be back! Kseniya the Sommelier is brilliant, friendly and very knowledgeable. And our waiter was lovely - recommending the houmous topped with lamb which was a definite winner!! Highly recommend.

Great food and service. The atmosphere and venue is relaxing and a pleasant place to eat. The food was if the highest standard

Food was absolutely stunning and the service couldn’t be faulted at all very attentive extremely knowledgeable and catered well for my wife who’s gluten free. We will definitely be going back and forth absolute gem of a place.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with a lot of options for food and drinks. The food was amazingly fresh and flavoursome, and the service was friendly and excellent. We'll definitely be going back again.

We had been travelling all day and couldn't find any restaurants open after 9pm, luckily hit on this place and had a wonderful experience. Lovely food in such nice surroundings. Staff are so friendly, we will be back next time we are in the area.

Such a wonderful restaurant and wine bar! Love this place great food, great wine, great atmosphere - great place to go for food and drink!

Nice people trying hard & deserve to win. Good wine & good food & well worth a look in. We stopped on route to Wooler & glad we did. They made us welcome & looked after us. Thanks

We had such a lovely evening here from start to finish! Complimentary breads and dips, all three courses were incredible and great portion sizes. The lady helped with wine suggestions and despite being the only member of staff serving a number of tablets the service was excellent! Would highly recommend, the atmosphere is really lovely and nice to have somewhere locally that is a bit more special than the usual pub grub. We will definitely be back!

We met friends who had previously dined here and had recommended we try it too. The restaurant itself is very nice, chef & waitress are really friendly and really know how to welcome you. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and service was great. We tried a honey cake and it was exceptional. We will definitely return.

Lovely food and a nice atmosphere. We had vegetarian moussaka, kebab beghi and starters. Service was great. Will definitely go again to this gem in heanor

Food was brilliant and the service was very good Piano was a nice touch for background music We all Will be going back Parking out side made it easy access

Lovely meal for four people. Good portions nicely cooked. New business. Hopefully will do well. Very friendly staff. Well done

The interior is just lovely. Very inviting and cosy. The food was lovely and the portion sizes where really large which was great due to the fact it felt a little over priced, but the portion size made up for it! My only one issue - I love stuffed vine leaves and they are always my go to dish. I would of expected freshly made vine leaves from a restaurant, not from a tin! But overall it was lovely, the wine was great also, massively reccomend the Turkish red and the wine glasses where beautiful.

A lovely place nicely decorated with little turkish touches. We were directed to a table towards the back of the restaurant and were brought warm breads and olives with some dips. All was delicious. I chose mousaka while others in the group had mixed kebab. All the dishes were extremely nice . All in all the service and food were great. Its a lovely little place

Ate there as a party of 13. We had complimentary bread dips and olives which was a lovely start to the meal and plentiful. We had preordered our meals, and these came out promptly. The food was very tasty and again plentiful. The staff were very helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. One small niggle is it can be a little chilly in the restaurant, but we dressed warmly after reading other reviews so weren’t too affected by this. We had a pleasant evening and will be back.

We go to a pub/restaurant once a week with friends. We decided to try this one and we're pleased with the result. The staff were young and slightly inexperienced but did their best and we had no problems or complaints. The food was very good and those who gave a bad review must have been unlucky, as we had a pleasant evening there. I would have given 5 stars, but the baclava was a bit on the small side. Should have gone for the carrot cake.

Terrible service and food. Would definitely avoid. Chips were still uncooked in the middle and ran out of beer at 8pm. There is no beer on tap and some how ran out of beer on a Saturday night when there was only 10 people sitting in the restaurant.

It was a shame the restaurant was cold. The food was really nice but could of been hotter Will definitely be going again even with these concerns .

Went with a party of 13 and they couldn’t have been more accommodating, service was very friendly & the food was just amazing, would highly recommend.

The food and the hosts were the best. We just returned from Turkey but the food here was better than the amazing food we had there

Get together catch enjoying the vibes and good food clean well looked after establishment great choice of meals

Booked for an evening meal with my wife for 8pm. Turned up exactly on time and was immediately shown to our table which had been duly reserved. It was my wife's suggestion to try out this restaurant, which is still less than a month old. We were offered a drinks menu and a food menu, and within 10 mins our drink order had been taken, with our food order being taken as the drinks arrived. We both ordered the Calamari for starter and I ordered Kofte Beyti for main, my wife ordered Spinach Feta Chicken. Within a few minutes of ordering food, we received bread and dips on the table. The garlic and chive dip was particularly nice, there was also a tomato based dip and a small selection of Olives/Mushrooms. The starters followed shortly after, and the Calamari was as expected - not a particularly adventurous starter for either of us! The mains soon followed, there was under 40 mins between entering the restaurant and receiving our mains. Both of our mains were exceptional, the Kofte Beyti that I ate was nicely presented with a sufficient amount of rich/think sauce covering the tortilla wrapped kofte kebab. The herbs and pepper in the kebab were a really good flavour. My wife commented on the sauce accompanying her Feta Chicken, wanting to be able to recreate it at home. Portion sizes were ample, there was no need for any dessert. The proprietors were very welcoming, a husband and wife team, with the husband in the kitchen and the wife looking after the reception and bar. The sole waiter did seem a little lost at times, but did a great job. We shall certainly be revisiting to sample more of the menu.

It was brilliant. Amazing food, that came out quickly and hot. lovely friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be going again.

Went here for our 64th wedding anniversary. Did not disappoint. We were looked after from the moment we walked in. Excellent service and food tasty and plentiful. We were given a small complimentary sweet because it was our Anniversary. Very friendly owners. Would go back.

We were a party of ten, excellent attentive service from the moment we walked in, drinks and food were served within 20 minutes of ordering, all food was nice and hot and very tasty, Was a lovely evening and experience at this newly opened restaurant, wishing them all the best in the future, will definitely be back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We went for a family meal, we all really enjoyed it and loved the food, staff friendly and service good, they worked so hard even when restaurant got busy , highly recommend and will be coming back

Well what can I say about our visit to this restaurant last night, the restaurant hasn’t been open very long and although I understand that there could be some teething problems to start it was diabolical!! We had booked as a party of 15 people to try out this new Turkish restaurant, we had been advised from them to PRE ORDER our food so they could be prepared for us coming, we arrived for our booking for 7.30pm, we were left sitting for 45 minutes before they even came to serve us our drinks, when the drinks finally arrived the order was wrong and they then told us they had ran out of the drinks we had already ordered from them so they couldn’t fulfil the order. After an hour passed, we asked them where our food was as we had all pre ordered our meals and they couldn’t give us an answer. Safe to say this hasn’t left a good impression for us returning there.

Went to Turkish chef for family gathering as birthday meal. Staff were rude and abrupt, food took a long time to come out - was cold and undercooked on arrival. Asked for the chicken to be redone and the chef didn’t seem please as said it was cooked (was jelly like and pink). However childrens portion was larger than expected - pretty similar size to adult portion. No condiments offered with meal. Staff seemed in a rush to get people in and out as quick as possible. Very loud atmosphere where couldn’t hold a conversation.

Very friendly staff but too eager to clear away the plates No prawns so had to change my order Ordered hummus and another dip but no bread with it Main courses arrived Not that great and the hummus we left would have made the meal more edible Two of us had finished our meal so they took away our plates while my other friend was still eating No offer of desert or another drink Felt like they wanted to get rid of us Service absolutely awful Over priced

We had a lovely evening. Friendly service. Good portion sized food plus complementary Turkish bread and dips. We all tried something different and we all enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back

Can’t believe what they are charging for poor standard food ! Service abysmal ! Tried to warm my husbands prawns up ! No bread with hummus had to eat with a spoon ! Chicken fry and overcooked was told sorry we are short staffed ! Awful experience , please don’t waste your money ! Overpriced rubbish !

Thought we’d try the new restaurant in Heanor and all I can say is it didn’t disappoint. The ambience was lovely the food was amazing with us trying calamari, halloumi and the special hot meze. Then we had mixed kebab, chicken shish and the Anatolian...
