Turkish Kitchen Meze And Grill in County Durham

Really delicious food, excellent friendly service and nice atmosphere.

My favourite place to eat out in Durham. The food is consistently delicious in big hearty portions with friendly service.

A nice change from the endless pizza and pub food. Best service of the week and good, interesting food at a good price. I really liked the Baklava.

We were staying the weekend in Durham and this restaurant came recommended by friends so we booked for Saturday night. Are we glad we did. Its very busy, but worth checking out. Great food, funny, friendly staff whom seem to genuinely enjoy what they are doing. Book, you wont be disappointed, all four of us would return when in Durham next. A credit to the city. Keep it up Turkish Kitchen!

Great food, polite delivery person. All good 👍

Nice restaurant lovely friendly staff just had 2 starters each Sardines very tasty cold fried aubergine nice, Whitebait lovely and Beetroot Tartare really thick and creamy. Recommend

Im sure the restaurant is lovely, the staff are and the food tastes great. But do not order via Just Eat. They do not deliver. The staff (restaurant) were very friendly and helped as much as they could but our food did not arrive and Just Eat charged for it. This unfortunately has to be my review of my experience. The restraunt should do away with them ASAP.

Food did not turn up. Restaurant said it had been collected by derives but it didn’t arrive

A very special find in Durham, the staff were. Amazing, food outstanding, can’t wait to return, defo comes with high recommendation,

I have to say this is a fantastic Turkish restaurant. Food simply amazing! Atmosphere and interiors Fantastic 5/5😃

Great service and even better food. Me and my girlfriends no 1 date night restaurant.

Llamé para almorzar, así que me alegro de haberlo hecho. El servicio encantador, la comida deliciosa, no dudaría en recomendar, no te decepcionará.

My friend was pleased with the garlic mushrooms she chose for her first course. I opted for falafel which was ok, the accompanying hummus was good. Both chose vegetarian moussaka for main course, which was excellent. Service was initially ok but marred by the waitress who took payment and spoke and behaved in a very curt, abrupt manner. Probably wouldn’t stop me from going back but I would be more keen on returning if people were well mannered

The staff were quite blunt and impatient. Honestly, the food wasn’t great, and to make matters worse, I was up half the night being sick. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Amazing food, fabulous staff and beautiful venue…..highly recommended!!!

Fantastic meal served by the very smiley and very attentive Solidia , love coming here when we visit Durham . Highly recommended

The staff were ok, she didn’t understand English very well. The waitress at the end asked if I wanted my food packed and I said yes but she didn’t pack it in the end and ended up throwing it all away which was disappointing as I had a lot of food left over. Food wasn’t the best, I wouldn’t go here again.

Food was stone cold when it arrived very late. Once reheated it was very tasty.

Falafel and hummus were as dry as the desert. Falafel was not tasty. The chicken shish was delightful. El Nazik kebab is amazing. Highly recommended. The iskander kebab was nice. The temperature is too cold and some dishes arrived cold.

Este es un restaurante realmente encantador. Comida deliciosa, servicio atento y a buen precio. Disfrutamos mucho y lo recomendaría. Muchas gracias

Terrible food not Turkish rice and not Turkish salad , overcooked meat and cold chips

The place was freezing cold even the waitress was walking around with a scarf on service was bad it felt like we wernt wanted there didn't even get eye contact from staff who served us and the food was far from great I was realy dissapointed as there is so much other good choices in the area

My experience here was super amazing beyond my expectations.

I found my favorite Turkish tea here 😋 I will definitely come again.

Great food, great service , great atmosphere. This was my first time eating here and enjoyed the entire experience especially when the bill came out and it was excellent value for money. Will visit again. Top marks.

We called in on a busy Saturday afternoon and were lucky to get the last table. Therefore, I'd advise booking in advance if you really want to eat here as it is understandably popular. The service was prompt and staff were attentive throughout the meal. We ordered starters and mains and they were fresh, hot and utterly delicious. The wine was tasty too. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the whole experience was a real treat. We will 100% be back.

An Amazing Experience at Your Turkish Restaurant! The salad was excellent and packed with a variety of fresh ingredients, especially the olives that added a delicious and unique flavor! The salmon dish was incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection, and the eggplant moussaka was outstanding—melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The food overall was authentic and beautifully reflected the Turkish vibe, and the service was quick with the meal arriving piping hot. I highly recommend this restaurant to all Turkish cuisine lovers—the food is absolutely worth trying! Thank you for the fantastic quality—I’ll definitely order from you again!

It's a very nice place, the atmosphere is great. The kitchen displays amazing dishes, very delicious and fresh. The service is friendly and attentive.

Nice food, attentive service but felt pressured to get out. We hadn't booked and arrived about 6pm. It got busy quick and the service and food came super fast. They were obviously keen to turn over covers asap, which detracts from the experience. Would definitely go again.

I visited the restaurant with my daughter last night. I had a problem that was so professionally dealt with by the lovely owner and staff that I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. The food, wine and customer service was second to none. Highly recommended

Loved it in here very relaxed with great service. Food was amazing and very good prices.

We ate here on Christmas Eve. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. The foot was absolutely delicious especially the lamb shanks. The cocktails were also well worth the money. We couldn't fault it and I am only sorry that we live so far away. Otherwise it would definitely be a firm favorite.

Had a meal there on the 03,01,25 me and the wife never booked a table just walk in staff very helpful food spot on wife had mussels and I had garlic mushrooms for starters, then we had the sharing platter which was delicious and plenty for both of us,I had cheesecake after,this was our first time there and we be back,very clean very good and staff very friendly lovely little place

What a gem! Absolutely gorgeous food and service. Beautiful building too

We ordered the Beetroot Tarator, Baba Ganoush, the Chicken and Lamb spicy pots with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The food came quickly, all the dishes were good quality, generous portions and very tasty. Beetroot Tarator was a new experience, Beetroot mixed with yoghurt and tahini. Both starters went exceptionally well with the wine which was reasonably priced and very cold (a good thing!). Service was friendly and efficient.

Lovely food, fast service and the staff are very accommodating. Definitely would return.

Amazing food. Lovely staff. Thoroughly recommend

Great place with a warm atmosphere, Burcu was lovely and recommended some truly delicious dishes!

Stone cold, over an hour late and not much food. Would probably have been tasty when us was fresh and hot though.

Fab food, excellent service from Solidija, 3rd visit always great

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!!

Great food, warm and welcoming if a little noisy, good service. Portions are large. The baklava was particularly good.

Absolutely amazing food, had the sharing grill for two, very very tasty , lovely place and wonderful service. Looking forward to our desert.

Amazing tasty food, juicy cuts and really friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, great service and nice setting

Wonderful lunchtime menu. Lovely staff great value. Just great

Beef moussaka for us on a lunchtime. Really good value and above all very tasty. Restaurant was very nice and the waitresses were exceptional. Very speed service. Loved it

Primera vez aquí y definitivamente no nuestra última comida era deliciosa y el servicio era fantástico restaurante encantador con un buen ambiente 😃

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.

The atmosphere was really good and food was exceptional. Would highly recommend

Highly recommend this restaurant, excellent service, food and atmosphere. We have dined here several times and always received good quality food

Nice staff good food All vegetables in side dishes were very fresh. We had Turkish feta salad and a mixed grill dish + fries which was more than enough for two. We recommend it

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!

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.

Very nice food. One of the waitress, Lidia was very kind and friendly to us xx

El ambiente es cómodo y relajado diseñado para apoyar la cocina. Este fue un almuerzo de aniversario en este restaurante, queríamos algo discreto y absolutamente entregado. Compartimos una variedad de mezclas, seguido de helado de pistacho - helado y un expreso. La comida era deliciosa y generosa. El personal de espera es atento y amable. Recomendamos este restaurante, ya que proporciona una relación calidad-precio.

Si te gusta sentarte prácticamente encima de la mesa de al lado este es el lugar para ti. Mi comida consistía en pollo procesado y una salsa cuajada que era como tibia. Primera vez que visito y definitivamente no volveré

Gran experiencia Visité temprano un lunes por la noche servicio y el personal era todo fantástico Fue a la parrilla mixta para 2 , que estaba magníficamente cocinado fresco y reventado de sabor.

The biggest Türkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

Location, good convenient as expected (city centre). Staff, efficient and friendly. Ambience, nice. Food, good portion and tasty. Thoroughly recommended. October 2024

Excellent food and fab service 👌

Went on 24th September with my son for my Birthday and been several times previously. Food amazing, staff amazing and atmosphere excellent 👍👌 Honestly it's the best Restaurant arround 🙏

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.

Absolutely beautiful food, amazing staff and lovely atmosphere! Will definitely be back!

Fabulous food: Mum had grilled salmon, me spicy lamb stew. Both delicious. Two glasses of red, one Shiraz one Merlot both tasty. Friendly, helpful staff and warm atmosphere.

Had a great evening meal here over August bank holiday weekend. Restaurant was full and had a great vibe, felt authentic. Staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Our meals were delicious but be warned, portion sizes are big, be prepared! Highly recommend.

Really lovely atmosphere. Great, welcome on arrival. Made to feel very welcome with no rush at all. Great options for vegan and gluten free Pricing very competitive compared to the midlands. Highly recommend.

Wow…the food, drinks and ambience are all fantastic. Lovely service from the staff and beautiful Turkish food at a great price. We left full and contented and can’t wait to go back.

Lovely meal and very reasonably priced. Particularly impressed with the vegetarian mousakka!

Great place, comfortable and great atmosphere, professional friendly service, food awesome.. had chicken kofte and kleftico.. kofte was flavourful and cooked well, kleftico lamb fell from the bone, the mash was creamy and with the sauce was perfect…. very tasty.

Absolutely fantastic! Not the first time we’ve been but absolutely loved it again! Chilled atmosphere, lovely staff, beautiful food and gorgeous drinks/cocktails. Dessert are lush! Salmon and feta salad are lovely 🥰

Never been before, but will definitely go again, very tasty food, great atmosphere and staff are very friendly. Date night for me and my husband. Recommend to all.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere and the people who work here were all so kind and genuine, really impressed and thoroughly recommended!

What a little gem, absolutely delicious lamb and chicken kebabs and the calamari starter was superb! Excellent service. Can't recommend enough 10/10

Great food and excellent service

The food was very flavourful and arrived quick however the prices are high and the size of the portions don’t match the price. The employees were kind and understanding. And the atmosphere is great. Overall if the prices and portions were better this place would definitely deserve 5 stars.

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.

Visited today for lunch, food and staff were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

An excellent meal in great surroundings Lots of vegetarian choices in a wide menu. Great cocktails and desserts too. Friendly attentive staff. 5 stars all round except table clearing can be a bit keen and my cocktail was removed still a quarter full.

First visit and it was a lovely experience, the food was great, and the service was fast. Cocktails 🍸 are great

Excellent food in a lovely environment with lots of vegetarian options.

Very good experience, special mention for the rice

Popular with a wide range of customers. Hard to narrow down choices on the menu, so we need to go back. Generous portions and great quality food.

Outstanding food and very friendly service. We loved the king prawn main dish so much we have decided to go back the next day again to the restaurant. 100 % recommending the restaurant. Lidia who has served us was charming and very professional she is an asset to the restaurant.

First time dining in this restaurant. Really great buzzing atmosphere. Staff really attentive, constantly walking around and happy to help. Food was really delicious, lamb cooked perfectly over charcoal. Great choice of vegetarian and gluten free meals which for my wife was brilliant. Definitely will be dining here again

Highly recommend this restaurant, food excellent, as well as presented, clean well presented restaurant. Well priced and lovely friendly staff. Quick service ! Importantly gluten free options well noted on the menu which is a big plus for us . Thank you we loved it here!

The Lambs meat with rice is very nice for lamb lover. Fried squid ring is nice.

Wow we shared a mere of 10 items Taste buds tingling still after it Beautiful Extra bread came quickly and was warm You MUST visit this place Highly recommended 👌 👍 5* Hope to visit tomorrow night again

Really lovely vegetarian moussaka and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Great!

Tried the restaurant for the first time on Thursday night for a friends birthday. Each staff member were very friendly and the food was delicious. Really impressed with the decor and overall enjoyed the experience. We will be back!

Delicious, very tasty, and clean, and all the menu is halal (I ordered a fantastic cheese samosa, don’t miss it - and sweet meat slices and feta salad.. The restaurant, as is usually the Turkish food, is generous and generous. They serve bread and salad in a large quantity. I enjoyed it very much.

I ordered the lamb shish mutton skewers on the recommendation of the waiter and it was delicious! The atmosphere in the store is good, and it was almost full after 6pm. Salad and rice were fine.

Excellent service, delicious food and great value.

Lovely food, great service at a good price

Just fantastic. Stunning starters!

Food amazing, 10/10 service and restaurant also 10/10 Everything on the menu is excellent including the drinks Keep on going back to this one as so good

I visited on a day trip to Durham. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I had the two course lunch menu, that is available until 4pm. There were plenty of options for starters and mains. The food was freshly cooked and well presented. The portions were a very good size. I would highly recommend this Turkish restaurant.

It's quite a surprise, and a pleasant one, to find a Turkish restaurant in Durham, on the steep road to the cathedral. The dishes, the decor, and the pleasant and polite service make you have a good experience. Menu prices are moderate and the offerings are many, authentic, and very good. It's a fine place to dine.

Noticed by chance and decided to give it a try. Very friendly staff. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Was nice to see how busy it got as we neared the end of our meal.
