La comida aquí es algo fuera de este mundo. Es una experiencia maravillosa. El restaurante está ubicado sobre un montón de diferentes niveles y los pobres los camareros tienen que subir y bajar muchas escaleras, pero el servicio es estupendo no obstante.

Its a shame as this restaurant had great potential and was needed in this town but I can see it is on its way out ,just returned from there party of 6 went there on the understanding we were getting a 50% discount with a groupon voucher it turned out that we got a 50% reduction on the food and service. It now appears to be a one man show where one man takes your order the same man cooks/prepares the food and the same man presumably the owner serves the food and the drinks .again he tried to say voucher was not valid and had run out .called up groupon in front of him to show that it states voucher valid for thirty days after purchase .it was purchased today .the portions although minuscule was good but lacked meat and was supposed to have 12 different varieties 8 of them was only dips ..anyway suffice to say will not be going back .. and definitely not recommended ..

After purchasing a discount voucher from itison we went for food. When asking the waiter about the deal he had no idea so then called for the owner. When faced with the manager his manner from the start was unprofessional and negative saying that there was no such deal existing during this time, even when proven wrong with the voucher details presented to him he still argued that it was itison's fault and that he could do nothing about this! After making an utter fool of himself the manager decided he would bring himself even lower by finally saying he would make the exception on this occasion as long as we have the code in printed form knowing fine that we had it on our phone.. To make this clown feel even more humiliated the waiter standing beside him interrupted and said it would be no problem to scan the code through the phone yet the manager clearly didn't want to let this get the better of him so he wrapped it up by saying there was nothing he could possibly do as he was too busy for this... Absolutely hilarious as we were the only two customers in the building at this prime time on a Friday night.

Esta es la tercera vez que hemos comido aquí y una vez más no podíamos faltar a la comida. A pesar de los esfuerzos de la camarera, aparentemente por su propia cuenta, el servicio era lento. También estaba fría, una queja que he oído de otros recientemente. Atención al cliente comodidad y servicio necesita mejorar o este restaurante no duraría. Todo lo demás de una pena que no se correspondían con la comida, el pollo Sicillian es excelente.

Had dinner here with friends on Saturday night, there were only a couple of other tables in but it was warm and Turkish music played in the background. Our drinks came quickly and we ordered a mixed mezze platter to share followed by our main courses. The mezze platter was served about 15 minutes later - lots of dips and pickles as well as halloumi, chicken wings, 2 types of filled filo pastry and bread, everything was delicious and plentiful. Our main courses came after a short break and were substantial! One veggie moussaka, 2 different kebabs and lamb chops. Really lovely food and all served by friendly smiley staff. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Booked a groupon mezzo for 6 for my birthday then received less than 12 hours notice that I had to use it as the offer finished that day even tho I explained that my voucher was valid for another two weeks rushed around to get everyone available for that night The mezze was tasty but way too liittle in amount , it cost us as much again for the sweets to fill us up a bit and we had to ask for the wine which came when we were almost finished the mezzeAll in all I'm glad we didn't pay full price for said mezze as hubby said it was just like a slightly bigger starter, will have to think hard before we go again

My friend booked a meal for us here after having been there a few weeks before. It was my first visit, but she tells me it was not nearly as good as before. It was extremely quiet considering it was a Saturday night, only another three tables in whilst we were there.They have done a lovely job with the décor, much nicer than it was in it's previous life. Sadly we had a waitress working her first shift so she couldn't give us any advice at all. Not her fault, she was apologetic but not sure of anything. Because of this I decided to stick with what I know and ordered quesedillas, when they came they were perfectly alright, quite tasty, but not what I'm used to. They were served with chips and salad, best bit was the chips to be honest. My friend had recommended the cocktails and we were looking forward to them, however we were informed they didn't have any, Again this was the new waitress, upon mentioning it to the other waitress she told us there were limited cocktails available and brought the menu. I asked for a black Russian and was told they didn't have the ingredients??? Vodka, Kahlua and coke, really, not exactly exotic. What they did have I didn't fancy, so water it was. For dessert there was, and I quote 3 bits of raspberry cheesecake, I bit of vanilla or baklava. I opted for the baklava, sadly I think that had seen a microwave. Though it was tasty I couldn't get my spoon through the bottom of it as it was so hard. We finished with coffee and the bill. It had taken two hours to have our two courses. The waiting staff were pleasant, all two of them, but there was just no atmosphere and we all had the feeling the place was getting ready to shut down. Sad because it is a lovely comfortable place to sit, just a pity there was so much lacking

My wife and I were looking for something different on Friday evening so we looked about and came up with this restaurant in Arbroath and to say it was good was an understatement. The service was fantastic and the food was great. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and couldn't do enough for us, the restaurant was decorated to a very high standard, very clean and warm, great atmosphere. The menu was extensive and everything was available. The food was in our opinion five star and didn't cost a fortune. Well done to all you guys and thanks for a wonderful evening.

This was our first time here and we were truly astounded at the high level of quality of the dishes. Each one of our party of 9 was in full agreement - unusual I must say as there always seems to be one or 2 members of a larger party who isn't so happy any other time we've been out as a group. The meals were all superb in presentation, taste and quantity. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back. Sent from my iPhone

we visited this place on a Sunday evening,we had a Itison Voucher which gave 10 meze and a drink each. They came quickly but a description from the waitress would have been nice. The cold ones all looked very mushy and 2 pieces of bread not exactly enough to soak up these. We ordered more and offered to pay for it..The hot ones arrived with 4 on the plate, one was a chicken wing not exactly turkish!! A SPRING ROLL LOOKED CHINESE, AND SOMETHING I DONT RECOGNISE.my son opted for the chicken and lamb kebab it was ok nothing special, wouldnt say worth 13 pounds. Coffee watery awful and maybe a little turkish delight would be nice for £2.40, will I go back have to really think about that one. PLACE LACKS ATMOSPHERE, AND IMAGINATION.

We love turkish food so thought we would give it a try. Despite some negative reviews we found the food to be excellent, the service and staff also. Good atmosphere and nice background music as well. Would have been 5 stars but they need to get new coffee supplier and chill the bottles of Efes longer. Great place we will be back.

Never having visited a Turkish restaurant in the past we were happy to accept an invitation from our friends to share an evening here. Situated in the old "Corn exchange" there are three floors and the four of us were escorted to the mezzanine which was otherwise unoccupied. That pleased us as we were able to hold a conversation without intrusion or shouting. The menu was reasonably extensive with something for all tastes. I did feel that a lot of the items would also have been available in any Greek restaurant but that's okay with me. The service was not particularly good but that wasn't surprising considering where we were in relation to the kitchen. No wonder that the waiters are fit and slim!!! All the food was very tasty and reasonably well presented. Hope you like Kofte in one form or another as there are plenty of choices but there are several varieties of chicken dishes along with spicy lamb chops.

There were four adults in my party and we had a table booked for 6:15pm on a Saturday night. We all had a starter and a main course each and didn't finish until 9pm as the service was exceptionally slow. The food itself was good and as the restaurant was not particularly busy they need to look at their staffing. We had to ask for cutlery to use for the main course, as did the other diners nearby. Needless to say we did not bother with a dessert. We won't be back.

We took advantage of an Itison promotion which offered 10 Turkish Mezes plus a glass of wine for £10 for 2 people. You are never too sure what to expect with this type of promotion but, on this occasion, the Turkish Grill exceeded our expectations. The food was tasty and plentiful and service was friendly and efficient. We stay 15 miles from Arbroath and If it hadn't been for the promotion we would never have heard of the Turkish Grill. It was well worth the journey and would have no hesitation in recommending it to potential customers.

Thought we would try something different last weekend. This restaurant has been decorated beautifully from its former pub/ club. I had a turkish sausage to start. It was delicious with a fresh salad. I then had the mixed shish kebab. This was also lovely. The crispy potatoes, Cous Cous, with salad set it off beautifully. Very tasty. The staff were friendly and happy to chat and interact with my four year old. The only down side was the service was extremely slow. Just need to try and make service a bit faster. It is hard trying to keep a four year old occupied for that long length of time. Overall will definitely be back. Was good seeing a different type of food in Arbroath.

Went here for the first time with my husband and kids after hearing lots of good reports. There's a good choice of turkish food on the menu, but the kids menu is a very basic nuggets-and-chips type and it would have been nice to have had at least one or two more interesting dishes for the kids to try.The food itself was great, we had a mixed meze starter and really enjoyed it, then shish kebabs for mains. It was advertised as coming with Turkish cous cous, which turned out to be rice (!) Tasted good though, so not worth complaining about.The only gripe was with the time it took to get served. The orders were taken fairly quickly, but the starters took ages and then we had a long wait again for the mains to arrive. I realise this could just mean it was prepared fresh, but we did have a long wait, especially when the place wasn't busy and only had one other table filled when we were in.Having said that, the food is good so if you're not in a hurry (or don't have hungry kids in tow) then give it a try.Spotlessly clean loos too!

Mum and I visited on Sunday lunchtime. It was very quiet which was slightly surprising but I believe the additional opening is quite recent, so we had a choice of where to sit (there are three floors). Our drinks order and lunch menu arrived very quickly.I asked what a couple of items on the menu consisted of and was given a good explanation. Mum and I made our selections, purposefully choosing different meals so we could get a taste of each others food. The lunch 'special' menu (very well priced) was approx. £7.00 for two course, around £10 for 3 course.Our starters and mains were delicious. Not a massive portion but more than sufficient for the average person for a lunchtime meal. Banter with staff was great but not intrusive and when I mentioned looking at the evening menu online, was asked if it was the new one. I was then shown the updated menu which is much more extensive than the one that I had seen.Our food arrived quickly for fresh cooked food but I can see why service would appear slow when very busy. What do people expect, fast food or freshly cooked, tasty and well priced food.I can't fault the place and will most definitely be returning, there are so many choices that sound tasty.I do believe (and mentioned) that they need to advertise more to catch tourists as well as locals - it would be easy to walk past within several metres and not realise they are there.I'd also recommend booking on weekend evenings, apparently Sat night was very busy. As far as I am aware they don't do carry out at the moment but are considering it.

Having booked a table for 15 in midweek and the place being virtually empty, I was hoping the comments in other reviews regarding service wouldn't apply. Alas, my joy was as flat as the Coke they served.I always prefer to start with the good - the food was great and the prices were reasonable if not suspiciously cheap. The mixed grill that most of our party had was essentially a plate full of meat and really good. I didn't hear anyone in our party complain about the quality of the good.But the service. Whilst our drinks order was taken within a few minutes of us all being seated, it took about 15 minutes to arrive. When it did arrive, we were informed they only had two bottles of Efes. In a turkish restaurant. No idea whey they didn't tell us sooner but anyway replacement orders were made. As I was driving I just ordered coke which was both flat and with the ice cubes already melted - now either they have the smallest ice cubes (in which case I apologise for being wrong), or the drinks had sat so long on the bar that the cubes had melted away although they would have had to have sat for a few hours to get the coke that flat. Fortunately the second round provides some carbonation to the coke (not a lot, but a bit).There were 15 of us so you don't expect quick service however the place was empty and 11 of the orders were the same so why it took an hour or so to receive our food is a mystery. Fortunately as previously mentioned, the food was excellent when we did eventually receive it. I probably should mention that two of our party received their orders 5-10 minutes after the rest of us for some reason.At the end we asked if they accepted cheques which they didn't (fair enough, most people don't) so as we are a club I offered my debit card. The waiter went up the stairs and immediately came back down (suspiciously quick to be honest) to say they were having internet problems and they couldn't take a card. Now given this was a near £300 bill, it meant having to run out to the bank to get cash. Personally, I am not convinced by the internet excuse given how quickly the waiter came back downstairs and think they just didn't want to accept a debit card for a large sum - or maybe they didn't trust me which makes me pretty angry.So in essence; don't go there if you are in a hurry or if you can only pay using your card but DO visit if you are in no hurry, paying cash and want a good quality meal at very reasonable prices. The food was good so I will be trying it again but if they refuse my card again then they will have lost me as a customer. Food quality is only part of a meal out in my opinion; good service should also be an expectation.

Ate here and i was very disappointed.. On entering the place it was busy which is always promising however, we were greeted by a man in jeans and a t shirt who did take our order pretty quickly... however proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the meal, then take himself off to eat & drink behind us. Our starter came after about 20 minutes of ordering they were OK. Our empty plates sat for a while before they were taking away we had to ask for more drinks and after waiting near an hour for fajitas we had to ask where they were! when they arrived they were bland & not very appetising. I do wish in hindsight i had ordered something turkish for my main meal. The other staff were more attentive and seemed pretty embarrassed by the fact we had just been left after being shown to our seats. The Turkish waiter was lovely and i felt sorry for him as he was trying very hard. Anyway won't be back.

Before booking I read mixed reviews but as the food was rated well I decided to book for my son's 21st birthday meal. On arrival the lower floor level appeared quite full & our table was waiting for us. I was glad we didn't have to climb the stairs to another level as we had 2 older (but not elderly) members in our party of 6 & would have been worried about my mum getting back down the stairs after a glass of wine! (only kidding) The menu had just about the right amount of choices on it, all reasonably priced. The steaks were well priced too & were the cuts they were meant to be unlike another eatery I have been to in Arbroath recently. The staff were pleasant and although not over attentive we were happy enough with the service up until almost the end of our meal. From there on the service was non existent! Some of the more thirsty in our party had been sitting with empty glasses for 10-15 minutes & at no time did a waiter ask if we would like more drinks. The restaurant had emptied by this time and apart from the voices of the 2/3 staff upstairs we thought we were the only ones left in the building. A waiter eventually appeared resetting one of the tables opposite, so I managed to attract his attention & order 2 more drinks. It was at least another 10 minutes before we got the drinks! When we had all finished we sat for another 20 minutes waiting on a member of staff appearing so we could request the bill. To be honest I felt like walking out but I stood at the bottom of the stairs & had to shout up & ask for our bill. We climbed the stairs to get the bill while the rest of our party waited with their coats on downstairs. We were never offered a dessert or coffee/tea, it was really a matter of if you wanted anything else you had to try & find a member of staff & ask them!Lack of a manager to oversee things seemed to be what was lacking, nobody appeared to be in charge. Such a shame because I enjoyed the food but good service is everything!

Decided to go and try out this new restaurant in Arbroath. They have created a nice place with a good atmosphere however, the builidng does not lend itself to a restaurant as its on many different levels meaning staff are running up and down stairs carrying food and drink. It took over half an hour for our food order to be taken and we had to prompt them that we also had not ordered drinks. We sat down at 7pm and left after 10pm, main course did not arrive until after 930pm! At one point I had to go to the loo during the time we were waiting for our main course, and as we were on the top level this was down 3 flights of stairs! where I met the waitress coming up the same stairs from the kitchen with food. I noticed while down there that the fire exit was propped open with the fire extinguisher and the smoke doors were open despite having a notice saying keep closed! I think this is to keep the cooking smell in this staircase to minimum.Toilets are clean but lacked toilet roll and hand towells but there was an air dryer.Despite that the food was good and piping hot. We had the mixed mezze for 2 as a starter this came around 8pm and I had the mixed grill as a main course which was delicious.I think overall the premises are not suited to the purpose and the staff lack guidance from the owner who seems to go around smiling a lot and not really doing anything.Total bill for starter and main plus drinks (2 wines and a coke) was £44 which is good value and probably about what Arbroath can sustain.However, we wont be back in a hurry unless they can improve the service.Note the entrance is steep stairs too so overall not good for older or disabled people. I wonder how this got through the planning process with the council?????

The staff were very welcoming and the restaurant was at a lovely temperature. We enjoyed our meal - especially the mixed starter.

First visit to recently opened premises. Fast, efficient service from polite and helpful staff. Varied menu from traditional Turkish food to fillet steak, all at very reasonable prices. Only negative comment was the rather restricted range of soft drinks. Please note that customers with mobility difficulties should enquire about disabled access as there are a lot of stairs, both inside and out. Will definitely return.

Me and my friend love turkish/Greek food so were delighted to see this new addition.My friend booked a table for 7pm but when we turned up there was no record of our booking at all. It wasn't busy so not too much of a problem but if it had been we would have been scuppered!Drinks order taken promptly, ordered a bottle of wine. It arrived in a container to keep it chilled but it contained water and ice so left a bit of a mess with water everywhere. I asked for a can of sprite too but was served a small glass of draft lemonade instead. Slight language barrier I think! Starters received quickly- Calamari and turkish sausage- both excellent. Mains were served promptly, my friend had iskenderoni? I think it was and I had chicken skewers with rice and pitta bread. Both excellent but my food could really have benefitted from some sauce.They only had a couple of desserts left so we didn't bother. We had cocktails instead which were nice. Whole order came to £42 which was great. There are a few teething problems which is always going to be the case with a new establishment but I think in a few months this could be truly excellent.

We visited the Turkish Grill tonight for the first time and it's fair to say there are a few teething problems. The staff are great, good fun and pleasant. The food was fine although not as hot as id liked. We unfortunately had a speaker fall off the wall and nearly knock out one of our party but I doubt that happens a lot. We did wait a wee while but were chatting so it was fine. The prices are very reasonable and menu lots of variety. I think In a few months this restaurant will be brilliant but unfortunately it wasn't for this visit.

We had to wait over an hour for our meal, they kept saying it would be a couple of minutes when we asked about it. We had fajitas only got one wrap each and had to ask for plates, we got side plates! Then when we told them at the end they didn't seem bothered even charged one of us £1 for using the card machine as it was under £20! Was not happy at all, will not be back, wasn't worth the money

We had dinner at this recently opened restaurant on Friday night, first impression - lots of stairs! The main dining room was on first floor but our table was in the gallery at the top of the building and was quite a trek to the toilets - its a good job the waiting staff were young and fit! The starters were served quickly and were very tasty - hummous with pitta bread and spicy Turkish sausage. Main courses were served about 20 minutes after starter plates were cleared away - I had chicken kebabs served with rice, salad, pitta bread and a dip and my hubby had the lamb shank which came with roasted vegetables including potatoes and rice. Both meals were substantial portions and were delicious. We were too full to have any dessert! The total cost including 2 beers and a cocktail was just over 32 pounds which was excellent value. Service was very good and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be returning.

I decided to book for myself and 3 friends as I love to try new places, we weren't disappointed. Friendly staff food was beautiful! We ordered a few starters and all had mains with no complaints, when the bill arrived we were very happy at the price! Fillet steak £12.95 can't go wrong, would defo recommend and can't wait to return

After seeing a banner advertising this new restaurant we decided to give it a try. Once home we went online to get a contact phone number for the restaurant. The only one that came up was for a mobile phone, strange ! Each time we phoned we got a recorded message saying that the phone was switched off. So we turned up at the restaurant on spec looking for a table on a Saturday night. After climbing two sets of steep steps we arrived at the bar area. High above us was a seating area which would result in another climb. When I told the woman behind the bar that their phone was switched off she said it was the phone of the boss & he switched it off when working in the kitchen. She handed us a business card with the correct phone number. We were then taken back downstairs to the lower seating area. After handing us the menu the server said she would come back to take our drinks order. Twenty minutes later they finally returned. I had to repeat my order several times to them & then they asked if it was on the drinks menu. I showed them it & off they went again. They returned to say we had to choose again as our first choice was out of stock. We were told they would return to take our food order. After 40 minutes we had to ask to seperate servers if they would take our order. Finally one took our order. The staff obviously do not know what is on their menu as they had to lean across us to see how to spell our choices. Another 30 minutes passed & the first server returned to apologise as the three chefs had mixed up all the orders, so there would be a further delay. I had ordered calamari as a starter & when it finally arrived it was haloumi cheese instead. I sent it back & minutes later the server brought it back saying that it was calamari. On tasting it I realised that it was in fact cheese. What kind of chef doesn`t know the difference between squid & cheese ? At the bottom of the menu there is a note about food allergy. What would have happened if I was allergic to dairy products ? At this stage we left after having wasted our evening waiting to be fed. As we like Turkish food we will give them another chance. Hopefully they will get their act together soon.
