Turkish Kitchen in Peterborough

Myself & husband both agree that the food today was outstanding . It was our first visit & was delighted . Looking forward to coming back again x

Great food, nice and friendly service. Nice time spent with family. Price-wise it doesn't look that good, it could be cheaper, but honestly we ended up £140 slimmer and a few kilos fatter. A restaurant worth recommending.

Although waiting for our table was quite long it was mothers day and so very busy however once seated and food was ordered couldn't fault it or the service given will be returning

Have been to Turkish kitchen twice now. I went in with a lot of expectation after seeing the high reviews . The most recent instance, I went at noon on a weekend. The place was quiet and I could see plenty of empty tables. The place got fuller as time passed. The service was spot on and I can see why people enjoy being here. We were not rushed and we took our time as we slowly made our orders. The mixed platter for 2 was good. Nothing more. I must say that it was very filling. In hindsight I shouldn't have ordered it. For mains I ordered a Sarma chicken betting without looking into what it was. Turns out it was little wraps on top of garlic mayo sauce and served with plenty of salad and rice as well. I couldn't finish it all. Next time I know just to order a main and expect to be well treated.

Always the best fresh ingredients used. Service is great. Fairly priced. Highly recommended

Great food but the whole experience was cheapened by techno music played loudly whenever someone's birthday cake was delivered to their table

Food really delicious, staff friendly. Fairly priced, need to book on Saturday as very busy, but don't have to wait forever. Would highly recommend. 👌

Very good food with a wide variety of choice

I can't comment on the food as unfortunately we never got a table. We booked a table (for 4 people) for 6pm arrived at 5:50pm and by 6:20 had still not been seated and were crowded by the bar with approx 15 other people who also had 6pm reservations and were unable to be seated. Not sure who confirms all the bookings but it was an absolute joke. We had tickets for a show at 7:30pm so couldn't wait any longer to get a table and had to leave. We will try visiting again as food smelt delicious and clearly it's a popular restaurant, which is generally a good sign.

Servicio absolutamente terrible Reservamos una mesa en línea para las 6 pm que fue aceptada y confirmada, apareció a las 5 : 55 , se quedó esperando 30 minutos antes de que el personal reconociera siquiera nuestra existencia, luego le dijeron que la mesa no estaba lista ya que estaban llenos. Esperé otros 15 minutos antes de que alguien volviera y dijera que estaban limpiando una mesa para nosotros ahora. Era una mesa de 4 personas, y se la dieron a otra familia que acababa de entrar ya que, de hecho, había 4 de ellos. Preguntó cuánto tiempo sería realmente nuestra mesa y se le dijo 20 - 25 minutos, lo que significaría un tiempo de espera total de más de una hora para una mesa que fue reservado y confirmado. Terminó caminando e yendo a un restaurante cercano llamado Zada en Stamford. Mucho mejor servicio y recomendaría encarecidamente. ¿Por qué permitir una reserva si no estás dispuesto a cumplirla? ¿Por qué permitir walk ins si está completamente reservado? ¿Por qué hacer promesas a clientes que no tiene intención de cumplir?

Booked table for 3 at 6pm: arrived just before to an already growing queue of people outside the door. 6.20pm a waiter came over and asked our name to check booking but nothing else. Still stood waiting 1 hour later with no communication from any team member. I complained to the so called female Manger who unfortunately had not got a clue around customer service and keeping communication fluid with waiting customers. She advised the table would be another 15-20 mins which was an absolute joke. Note to manager: 1) don’t except bookings if fully booked. 2) communication is key 3) Put “reserved” on tables that have been confirmed and not allow walk in or large parties to take priority without a booking! Customer service shocking!

Mesa reservada para 3 a las 6 pm: llegó justo antes a una cola de gente ya creciente fuera de la puerta. 6 . 20 pm un camarero vino y preguntó nuestro nombre para comprobar la reserva, pero nada más. Todavía estaba esperando 1 hora después sin comunicación de ningún miembro del equipo. Me quejé con la llamada Gerente femenina, que desafortunadamente no tenía ni idea de la atención al cliente y mantener la comunicación fluida con los clientes en espera. Ella aconsejó que la mesa sería otros 15-20 minutos, lo que era una broma absoluta. Nota al gerente: 1 ) no exceptúan las reservas reservadas en su totalidad. 2 ) la comunicación es clave 3 ) Poner “reservado” en las mesas que han sido confirmadas y no permitir la entrada a pie ni que las grandes fiestas tengan prioridad sin reserva! Atención al cliente impactante!

Amazing food, atmosphere and staff.would recommend 100%

The best example of Turkish barbecue you will find. The fish is particularly good and the staff are great.

A group of us ate tonight. The service was very good. The food served quickly. I would akmost say too much to eat, but a takeaway box was provided for those who wanted to finish the meal later. Would highly recommend to all. A special thankyou to Eddie for attending to all our needs. Carolyn from U3A.

Great food, super tasty along with great service and price. Very authentic I thought, reminds me of my holidays

Fuimos aquí para una comida familiar. Situado justo debajo del Travelodge. Servi e era VG. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa. Tomamos unos entrantes y luego un plato enorme de carnes. Excelente relación calidad-precio.

Estuve dos veces en el último mes, ambos los lunes donde todavía está ocupado, pero no tanto para no sentarse de inmediato. El personal es cálido y acogedor y el lugar es inteligente y limpio. Las porciones de comida son masivas. Luchó por terminar la comida. La única queja que tengo es que las patatas fritas se hicieron un poco de más y la ensalada está por debajo de la par, su lechuga básica de una bolsa de basura. Aparte de eso, es una visita obligada

Absolutely shocking service I would never book a table here again, food was lovely but would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Absolutely disgusted by the service at this place! We waited over an hour and half for a table that we BOOKED! Then told they would cover our drinks with our meal for the delay. Like they did the other tables. Once it came to the bill they gave us 4 shots that we didn’t even want. And said they never said that they would provide drinks on the house. Lies. We was sat next the the kitchen boiling hot. They gave the table next to us a free bottle of wine for the temperature inconvenience!! No discount nothing on the meal and even charged us a service charge! Will never come here again!!!

Great food and service delivered every time, reasonably priced, but you can tell the ingredients used are good 👍

Great food and generous portion

Good atmoshpere, delicious food. Friendly staff, deffinately comming back

Food is very nice, well cooked and very tasty. This place is very busy so would recommend to book in advance

Best Turkish I’ve ever had! Perfect quality and perfect service! 100% recommend

Second visit and just as good as the first time! Beautifully cooked tasty food. JUST DELICIOUS! Great service, reasonable prices... simply put a great experience ! Can't wait for my 3rd visit

Can’t give less than 5 for my experience tonight. Place was packed and really lively, with a big birthday party on the long table. But it was still chill. Staff are impeccable which sets the mood for your meal. Their meat is grilled over charcoal in an exposed kitchen, and the grill chefs known their shit. We had a mix of meats chicken, lamb and kebabs and every one was perfectly cooked, moist still and not dry. I could go on, but I won’t. If this was in Christchurch where I live? I’d be there every week.

Very nice restaurant in Peterborough , delicious food and desserts !

Everything was so good. I suggest lamb Iskender. Adana Kebab had two skewers with salad and rice.Prices are a bit expensive.

Monday night and the place was buzzing. Our waiter was amazing recommending food and he wasn't wrong. Lamb ribs and chops were superb

Not a happy experience we pre booked our meal for 7 pm to find the restaurant completely busy we had to que outside and when speaking to other people they were also booked in for 7 pm!! best part of it was a turkish group who was behind us was supplid with free drinks and shots from the management for the inconvenience??? And managed to push their way through to the front of a very long que to be seated no body else Was offered any kind of gesture of good will so after experiencing this we will not return this restaurant again pure bad management and greed

We had a table booked for 2 people at 6pm on a Saturday. When we arrived the restaurant was full with a queue of people out of the door. The majority of people had also booked for 6pm. No acknowledgement from staff or explanation of what was happening. Waited a short while then left to go to The Tap and Tandor, where we had great food and service (even though they were busy to). Very disappointed with the Turkish Kitchen, feel they overbook and only out for getting people to buy overpriced drinks while waiting for the table.

Very flavourful food and friendly service.

I will highly recommend this place, the food is yummy and tasty.

Very poor show, we had a table booked for 530 and was served very promptly with drinks and order taken. The restaurant was quite busy but food arrived within a good time. As we ate we became aware of the massive queue at the door reception area of people waiting to eat, we were so glad we booked. As we finished our stater ,drank our lovely wine and enjoyed our main dinner I then asked for a desert and drink menu. The table next to us had just finished a lovely desert and coffees. So we waited and waited and waited. I then asked the staff again and was then told that we couldn’t have dessert or coffee as they are too busy on Friday and Saturdays and they needed the table back , I’m confused as we are still enjoying our evening and part of that evening is to eat , you serve food so serve it. If you can’t have desert then make sure it’s on your advertisement so people can choose to go elsewhere. Its ashame as the food was amazing just let down over greed for more money .

Great lunch menu at a fantastic price.

Food is incredible and staff are very friendly. Peterborough is lucky to have this place!

Celebrated my dad's 90th birthday at the turkish kitchen I'm so glad we chose this restaurant the staff were exceptional very helpful and friendly great service The food was amazing every one enjoyed what they ordered They all sing happy birthday and make a fuss of the person celebrating there birthday which my dad throughly enjoyed Yes it was busy but that just made a good atmosphere as everyone seemed to be enjoying thereself Thankyou for making a night to remember xx

Really disappointed with my order this evening. My lamb iskender is stone cold and they haven’t included the rice I paid for. It’s ridiculous considering the price. This is the second time there have been items missing: won’t be ordering again.

Why is it that if I make a reservation in advance for 8pm, I am not sat at a table until 8:45pm? How is this so normalised at this place? Unacceptable.

What an amazing experience, fantastic food, fantastic staff and fantastic atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to Peterborough. Big thanks to the lovely lady behind the bar for convincing us to stay. 5⭐️

Went to have lunch but the way they talk to a person !!!!! So I got up and left without lunch and with a promise that I will never enter that restaurant again.

Waiting to long to get my order, then no cutlery no tissue and just bit of food and plenty of bread l feel like l order bread only Wasting time and money

Took some time to get seated but that is expected on New Year's Eve. Staff were extremely friendly and professional. Food was really tasty. Will be making another visit to try something different.

Very tasty food, service a little bit hectic, all over the place. Bare in mind it is a very loud place, especially during busy hours. If you prefer quiet cosy dining this deffo is NOT a place for you. For me food compensated for the noise as it was really good.

Discovered by accident - this beautiful Turkish restaurant is well worth a visit. The staff are attentive and friendly and the food is delicious!

Great food, possibly best in town. sometime to noisy but this is normal when you busy with customer. Food always fresh and tasty 😋

Came here for the first time for dinner. Turkish Kitchen you did not disappoint! We arrived to a bust restaurant so expected a small wait as we were a tad early. However we were seated swiftly by a very friendly member of the restaurant team. Our ordered were taken for food and drinks. Both arrived in what I think was a quick time considering it was busy. But the best is yet to come. The food itself was absolutely delicious! We had the jumbo platter for 4 and ordered the feta salad too. All the meats were well cooked and seasoned. The quality was 1st class. The Feta salad was delicious too. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Service was good to start as we arrived 5pm Friday. Food arrived quickly and was very good. However, it soon started filling up and we felt rushed to finish with servers taking plates quickly. It was difficult to leave the venue with so many people crowded at the bar waiting for their tables

The only reason for 4 stars is it's so busy we got bread, starters, mains with no break so all felt absolutely stuffed too soon!! Food was excellent. We said we'd go back & just do mains next time.

Our third visit and this was the quietest the staff are always fantastic as is the food and today they went over an above with our 18 month year old who was even given his own chefs hat as he was fascinated either the kitchen the staff were so engaging and chatty with him and us thank you the food was just amazing. We have been before and there can be a queue all i can say is go with the flow its worth it

Brilliant place for a meal, highly recommend

Again a lovely Christmas dinner in one of the best places to please you palate in Peterborough

Been twice now and both times were brilliant. Quick service, waiting staff very attentive. Food was amazing. Both times with a big group and all the food was faultless.

The best place to eat in Peterborough

Came for food with my family and was great. Quick service, great food, would definately reccomend. We had the jumbo platter and also some hummus, also some of the flat bread with meat

Booked a table for 8 people for 8 o'clock. No table available until 8.45 and it was utter chaos. Food eventually arrived but they were in such a hurry to get clear the table some of us were still eating. It seems they take every booking and hope for the best. Never again.

Really delicious food! We both had the mixed shish, the chicken and lamb was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The staff were very knowledgeable when it came to gluten free and coeliac advice, very friendly!

Best meat I ever eat. You really have to try this place!

It was our first visit to this restaurant and it won't be the last. We were looked after from the time we entered until the time we left. The service was absolutely first class. The food was very well presented and tasted delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was superb and everyone seemed to get along together. A truly wonderful evening to remember. Customer service top class. Thank you.

Very reasonably price with authentic food

Absolutely delicious food. Always fresh and cooked to perfection. I would say however, that if you go out for a meal with friends and want to stay longer and chitchat, bear in mind you might get asked to leave your table as they are soooo busy (doesn’t matter which day of the week, they’re always packed). 2 hrs max stay but cannot fault the food nor the service.

Like meat Like Turkish Kitchen

We came as a couple to celebrate my partner's birthday. Although the whole of Peterborough was in there at the same time, and the restaurant was heaving, we could not fault the food or service. Despite being rushed off their feet all of our food and drink arrived quickly and was delicious. Staff greeted us with smiles and jokes and we felt under no pressure despite the madness around us! The staff deserve serious kudos for how they handled the restaurant being completely full. Extremely impressive.

we had a table for 8 booked for xmas works party, despite being so busy, the bar staff was IMPECCABLE cocktails are amazing! bar staff entertaining as food was to die for i had the lab shish it melted in my mouth, thank you to becky and kira x

Food is 5 star but very crowded. Sometimes you may have to wait to get a table. I will suggest you book online before visiting

I have been to many Turkish restaurants but Food here was just okay, not upto the mark. Service wasnt good either. they made us sit at the back of pillar , extreme corner , even though they have many better tables to tuck us in. We ordered around 5 plates, and because they made us sit on a small table of 2, there wasnt enough room and had to arrange it, the irony was that the person who was serving instead of letting me arrange or doing it himself politely, he managed to kick one plate on the table with other in his hand, that was rough and rude. Every single time We had to wait for long to order, to get water, to be served with food, for drinks. Never going back again

Overprice. Food was good. Added service charge without asking if you are agree with. Meal and drinks price already expensive. Service not very well. Seat us next to kitchen window where was very loudly. Waiters all the time walking and talking next to our back. Definitly not place for date

Very tasty and fast. I was very hungry) but the meat was above all praise, very tasty marinated and cooked. It's rare to find something so delicious. Thank you

Nice , well cooked food and really nice service.

At first i left a bad review but now il changing it. I had a bad first hand experience but other than that it’s great. What you expect from a traditional Turkish place. 4 stars

Unreal chicken kebab wrap, all freshly cooked. Fresh salad and amazing chilli sauce. Lovely service.

Todo era excelente! Comida muy sabrosa, porciones frescas y grandes. Muchas verduras y aceitunas turcas de verdad : ) ) ) Habitaciones limpias y espaciosas, personal amable.

Absolute joke we booked a table of four for 6:30 and arrived to what can only be described as chaos! Totally full and a queue out the door and when we finally got inside we were told they couldn't find our booking We think they just have a sheet of names and just take walk-ins and give booked tables away Utter mayhem and definitely not a place for a relaxing dinner out

Amazing place excellent food Party of 20 for a 18th bday meal they all went above and beyond for all of us all the staff were excellent friendly and polite 5 star 🌟

Wonderful restaurant with absolutely delicious food and excellent customer service. Our waiter Yassin was the best. Will definitely return.

Dear Turkish Kitchen Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for the exceptional service and delightful experience I had celebrating my birthday at your establishment yesterday. The attention to detail and professionalism exhibited by your team truly made the evening special for me and my guests. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with generous portions that left us thoroughly satisfied. The diverse menu catered to both adults and children, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of your facilities, including the spotless WC and the meticulous table service. It was evident that every effort was made to ensure a pleasant dining experience for all customers, from the cleanliness of the surroundings to the timely preparation of fresh cutlery between courses. Moreover, the friendly and attentive staff added a personal touch to the celebration, going above and beyond to ensure that our glasses were never empty and even surprising us with a heartfelt rendition of the Happy Birthday song accompanied by a cake. I cannot thank you enough for the fantastic time I had at Turkish Kitchen. Your team's dedication to providing top-notch service did not go unnoticed, and I will certainly be recommending your establishment to family and friends for any special occasions or dining experiences. Once again, a big thank you to the Turkish Kitchen team for making my birthday celebration truly memorable. I look forward to returning to enjoy your excellent food and hospitality in the near future. Warm regards, Viktorija + Family

Very friendly and helpful. Could not recommend enough! First time here and loved it.

Great service, great food, fantastic night tonight.

Evren is a true delight. He attended to our every needs to make sure that our food was on time and hot. The taste and quality of the food is amazing, the portions are very generous, needless to say we went home with full stomachs and at a price that does not break the bank.Thank you Evren for making my birthday a special day. We will definitely be coming back when we visit Peterborough again.

Great restaurant Lovely food It would be nice to have turkish tea at the end of the meal

Everything is perfect, have no complaints at all. The food is very tasty 😍

This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is high quality, the staff friendly and helpful. It's a great place for family (of all ages), celebrations or date night. The food portions are great, not too expensive and there's lots of choice. I recommend booking a table and enjoying the delicious food!

Food is still great, very friendly and polite staff.

Love the mixed grill platter superb grilled wings and freshly made wheat rice (bulgur wheat). The lamb ribs are always succulent and moist grilled to perfection. The staff are attentive, friendly and kind.We always come back

Meat cooked to perfection, and full of flavour, and the service was second to none. The staff were absolutely on the ball with everything. Thanks for everything staff very good and delicious well done Turkish kitchen

Me and my guests felt incredibly rushed on 18/10/24, we were given complimentary bread & dips and before we could even take a bite the maincourses were put down in front of us. There was this large sized waiter who was scruffy and had his loose shirt hanging out which looked very unprofessional but this isn’t the point I wanted to make, he was so grumpy & rude to us, his face was a face of frustration like he didn’t want to work or serve anyone, he made us feel uncomfortable, this same waiter brought us our bill and when I asked for the NON MANDATORY service charge to be removed he had the nerve to interrogate us as to why he should remove it, I explained the service was rushed and we didn’t feel comfortable with this, he continued to try to make an excuse as to why the service charge should remain at which point I had to firmly tell him we wasn’t going to pay any service charge as the service was unsatisfactory. After we paid the bill he threw the card receipt on our table and waddled off to go and back bite about us to a white female colleague, he’s rude, grumpy & unprofessional, a discredit to what was otherwise very nice food.

Met some friiends for lunch, staff were excellent and the food was anazing. We will definately be back.

Nosotros y nuestros amigos hemos estado deseando comer un sábado por la noche en este restaurante. Reservamos una mesa que fue reconocida, llegamos al restaurante 7. 55 pm y la escena fue un caos total. Había gente haciendo cola por la puerta, llegamos adentro, no había anfitrión para saludar o incluso explicar lo que estaba pasando. Llegamos a 8. 20 Nadie vino y nos puso al tanto de la situación. Nos fuimos y encontramos otro lugar para comer. Realmente decepcionante, ya que he perdido toda la confianza de reservar de nuevo

Ate here on a Saturday afternoon. Impressed by the attentive, but not obsequious, service. Food was promptly served and very tasty. Will definitely be eating here again.

Buena comida, realmente no podría fallar. No dudaría en volver de nuevo. Es un lugar muy concurrido por lo que las reservas son muy recomendables. Estás bastante apretado y era bastante ruidoso, así que si eso es un problema para ti, quizás esto no sea para ti. Pero si quieres buena comida, en un buen ambiente entonces no creo que debas dejar pasar la oportunidad de probar este lugar.

¡Vaya! Tuvimos una ventana de 50 minutos para comer antes de ver un espectáculo en el Teatro, lo encontramos justo al pie de Travelodge. Estaba lleno ya que llegamos a solo 6 pm y nos preguntamos si nos podían servir en ese momento. Servicio increíble, comida fantástica, gran atención al detalle y nos hicieron sentir tan especiales a pesar de estar muy ocupados. Hermoso restaurante, decoración, y volverá. Gracias por una gran comida.

It is so sad to say this because we have always had such great food and service BUT! On Saturday 5th of October we ordered a full platter for collection, they were very busy and advised us it would be ready in 45 minutes (which was fine) I arrived and it was indeed absolutely heaving but they brought my bag out after a short wait. Seeing they were so busy I gave them £60 cash for the meal and told them to keep the change. After getting in the car I realised there was no bread or rice pudding so we went back, I politely asked a gentleman to resolve this and he said "you know we are out of bread" I was a little miffed but headed home without the bread. We got home and I opened the container to find no rice just the meat. I called and explained this to the manager on saturday who wanted to have the rice and bread sent out but I explained it would be too late as we had to eat now but I understand they are very busy so I will call back on Monday to come to an accessible resolution. On Monday I spoke with a gentleman who initially offered a free desert on my next order. I was not prepared to accept this as my £60 meal was ruined on saturday so he agreed to provide me with the same order again free of charge when I next ordered. Today I called and was told "I'm not giving you the whole meal when only the rice was missing" So there will be no more anniversary dinners family meals or takeaway from Turkish Kitchen, Peterborough in the future and I would urge others to do the same. Such a terrible shame. Additional info after the reply: So the plot thickens and now you are prepared to lie in order to cover yourselves. I have never ever requested chips as an alternative to the normal full platter accompaniments but i also never received any chips. Quite frankly I am disgusted by this out right deception in an attempt to discredit my honest review.

The food is great, the Ali Nazik is unbelievable, I couldn't recommend it more. The service is always good.

Delicious grilled meat - perfectly cooked. Great service.

Food is very good - generous portions. Can be a bit noisy when the place is full. Staff where helpful but difficult sometimes to get their attention as the place is usually very busy.

Delicious food and just the right level of attention and welcome from the team. Best cigars boeci ever. Great atmosphere too. Who knew a wet Monday in Peterborough would be so enjoyable.

Beautiful food Beautiful people

Best to make a reservation as it's quite busy (visited Friday night).The food was fresh and delicious, the wait staff were knowledgeable and efficient. A bit rowdy as there were 3 birthday dinners when we visited; everyone joined in to sing the birthday song. Overall a great experience; would visit again. Recommended for a visit. 10/10
