Rude waiting staff, ask for coca cola and they bring you Pepsi, ask for lemonade and then bring you Pepsi with no apologies. Food has obviously been sat in fridges from the day before as it comes out so quickly and is very dry. No one smiles and had to wait ages to be served and pay for the bill. Lemon meringue pie was the worst I have ever had and probably been sat in the fridge for a week. Atmosphere was cold and toilets dirty. Save yourself the pain and go elsewhere. Not worth the effort or money. They didn't even care when I pointed out the poor food. Avoid

Staff are so lovely and attentive and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped through the door! We were deciding where to go for food and seen the special lunch menu they had advertised outside. It was our first time and won’t be our last! We got Tzatziki, calamari and hummus to start and it was delicious! Very fresh and quick turnaround. For our mains, I got a stuffed aubergine dish alongside some stir fried veg and my boyfriend got a stuffed bell pepper dish. All were huge portions and amazing value for money. I can’t wait to return!!

Visited Turkish Kitchen as a party of 3. First time trying this restaurant. We hadn't booked and despite the restaurant being really busy they found us a table. Food was incredible. All the staff were polite and friendly. Service was extremely quick. We had brie and calamari to start, mixed shish, beyti chicken and chicken iskender for mains. All absolutely delicious. This place is a gem and we will 100% return. Thank you.

Got myself spicy sausage and beef mousakka. The spicy sausage was so tasty I think it would be perfect if I had ordered rice to pair it with. By the time I am done, I was almost full so I didn’t get the chance to really enjoy the moussaka. Not because it’s not good but because the serving’s too huge for me! It was tasty and well seasoned. Would really love to dine in again to try their feta salad and kofte dishes! Service was quick and staff were very attentive to the guests.

Warmly welcomed at lunchtime. I had a choice of tables, but I would book ahead next time because it got busier around 1pm. I had a plentiful bowl of mixed salad and a lamb kofte which were both of excellent quality. Service was excellent, quick, and well organised. Definitely worth returning to!

It was a busy Friday night and we were just in time to get the only unreservered table - and we impressed with the food from start to finish. We shared a hummus starter with warmed pitta pieces - it was a delicious hummus, then for our mains the meat on the shish kebab was so flavoursome and cooked to perfection, and the aubergine vegetarian option was a proper meal too. Usually I find baklava too sweet but gambled as everything else was excellent - it was the best baklava I've tasted. The whole meal was just over £60 including a glass of wine. This will be on our priority list next time we come to Durham.

The staff are so friendly you feel like a member of the family. Portion sizes are overly generous, so don’t go overboard on starters and sides. Everything about the food is done to perfection; even the salad dressing is a cut above anything you’d get elsewhere. And the Yakut is as good as one would want from the top Turkish wine.

It's quite a surprise, and a pleasant one, to find a Turkish restaurant in Durham, on the steep road to the cathedral.

We had an excellent two-course lunch there. The service was quick, efficient and polite and the food was wonderful. My wife had sardines as a starter, and they tasted like they were straight from the sea. I had a vegetarian (beetroot based) starter that was full of flavour. We both had meat main courses - one beef, one lamb - which were outstanding.

The food was absolutely amazing - we went for the mixed grill. The restaurant is warm & friendly, as are most of the staff. I have unfortunately given a low score for service as 1 particular (male) waiter we found to be very unfriended, barely spoke and when he did gave 1 word answers. When we finished our meal the waiter was quick to clear the table, wiping it over making it quite obvious that he wanted us to leave. Before I had even had time to get my coat on the waiter had came & placed someone else's wine on our table & was ushering those customers to our table while I was still sitting there - this was uncomfortable for both myself and the other customers. It's a shame that a lovely meal was tarnished by poor service.

Visited Saturday 18/05/2024 Staff very pleasant and attentive, service was very quick throughout. Nice setting, clean and modern. We very much enjoyed generous starters of Turkish Sausage (£7.50), and Mussels (£8.95), served with Turkish bread. For mains I had the Mixed Grill – though tasty, this certainly wasn’t as big as I was expecting for £22.95. It consisted of a lamb cutlet, plus several chunks of kofteh / shish meat, rice and side salad. My partner had Chicken Iskender – this was a larger dish for £18.95, but was basically all the same taste and texture throughout, so he found it hard going and couldn’t finish it. The fries were just that, much like you’d get in McDonalds. As I say, good in some respects, but I don’t think an early return visit is likely.

Shockingly bad experience from both Just eat and the restaurant, courier turned up to restaurant, then left without the order didn't come back. order stuck in the app saying courier was waiting for nearly 2 hours, whilst trying to cancel the order. I was unable to cancel the order due to the phantom courier stopping the option from showing. the restaurant wouldn't cancel and asked me to contact JustEat via the partners customer service line to cancel, which as a customer I couldn't. shocking

I recently ordered takeout from Lebaneat Cafe, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The chicken I received had an unpleasant taste, almost like old meat, and there was a strong, off-putting smell. I’m concerned about the hygiene standards at this restaurant, as I believe food safety may not be a priority here. After eating, I was diagnosed with food poisoning, which I suspect is related to the quality of the food. Based on my experience, I believe a thorough health and safety inspection is urgently needed, especially considering reports of similar issues in the past. I hope the restaurant takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements to ensure the safety of its customers.
