Delicious meals to know Turkish culture

I had a lovely time with my family, enjoying great food and receiving excellent service from Onur.

I had time to wait in the bar for an available table for my family and had a chance to observe the chef and the staff while cooking, serving and dealing with the customers. I witnessed that the chef was blowing to the meats to remove the smoke on them while cooking on the fire. I am sorry but I was disgusted by that. I was also informed by the barmen to sit on a table after waiting for 40 minutes but the waiter took other 2 ladies to the table whom are just walked in. I asked to the waiter why he took them while we were just walking to the table and he said they have booking but we do not have. But they didn’t have booking specifically for that table I said. But the waiter didn’t change his decision and showed us the smaller table for my family after waiting 40 minutes. We were disrespected by the waiter and we KINDLY left the restaurant because of feeling odd one out. The staff should know that they are not the unique restaurant in the area. They need a real improvement for their behaviour, food hygiene and safety.

Rude and discriminative behaviour

We visited last night as a family of four without a booking and were asked to wait at the bar. After 40 minutes, two tables were cleared at the same time. We specifically requested the table away from the outdoor area because it was cold, and a staff member confirmed we could have it. However, as we walked toward the table, another staff member seated two young and fancy ladies who had just walked in. When I pointed out that we were allocated that table and had been waiting for so long, the staff member ignored me and continued serving the other group. When I questioned this, he claimed he couldn’t seat the ladies at the other table. This experience was incredibly rude and disrespectful. While we might not be young, cheerful ladies, we were a family who had waited patiently. The staff knew we had been waiting for an extended time but still chose to disregard us. Very disappointing.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service, food, and atmosphere are all of high quality.

The overall experiance was good, friendly staff happy to help, looked the part and the place was clean and tidy. Turkish bread was brillaint. We both ordered mixed kebabs with a portion of chips etc. Lamb was cooked brilliant, chicken was on the dry side, shish had very little taste and slight rubbery im assuming over cooked. The salad was fresh and the rice was great. The downfall was the chips £4 a portion for a poor quality frozen chip need to have high quality for me to match the dishes. Overhaul enjoyed the experiance just need to be abit more careful when cooking the food.

Superb lunch today. Delicious food and great service. Best Turkish restaurant I have been to in Suffolk. Well worth a visit.

We had a Birthday meal today catering for 10 Adults and 1 child. The service was 10/10 Food was 10/10 I can honestly say the staff were so kind and made us all relaxed, We were not rushed and made to feel very welcome. The Staff work very hard to set a high standard and it was very much noted. Food was of an excellent standard and cooked to perfection, We most certainly will be returning. Thank you so much to all Staff for making my Neices Birthday Meal a very memorable one

04/11/24 Wow, what can I say. I wasn't over hungry but need to say this was amazing. Went on a recommendation and absolutely glad I did. Polite, helpful staff, superb really tasty food and very generous serving. In my opinion the best takeaway/restaurant in Newmarket. Well done Turkoman...

Delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing customer service. I’ll be definitely visiting again !

Another great visit. Food amazing, so much choice and huge servings. First time needing the children’s menu which went down very well with lots of choice. Excellent service and very friendly and attentive staff? Our go to meal venue in Newmarket. Many thanks

Restaurant great, have been many times. Takeaway absolutely appalling. After calling ahead to omit mushrooms in a vegetarian dish. We were told they had made a note to the chef in case it was missed on the just eat order. Order arrived not edible full of mushrooms. Called them to let them know……. Response….. we can’t see the notes complain to just eat…..We are busy tonight.

Delicious food, good cocktails/mocktails, good portion sizes, and nice inside.

Very tasty food, very generous portions and the staff were great. Would very much recommend if you're in the area!

I would recommend this to anyone in the area the ezmeli kebab was amazing I have never had lamb so tender will definitely be back, probably tomorrow 😂 5*

My wife and I have been to Turkey and she loves Lamb - so this was my choice of 'somewhere different' for us to go last night for our wedding anniversary meal. I checked first and so knew what I was getting into - this is not cheap dining - but the full Turkish experience - and it does come at a cost. The restaurant is nice and comfortable and well laid out and well staffed - the 'kitchen' area is visible to the customers so you can see your dinner being prepared. Looking at the menu - well, it might as well be written in Turkish - I had no idea what I was eating for the majority of the time, but that is my failure not theirs.... The food was refreshingly different, tasty and there was plenty of it - if you go home hungry then you have a very healthy appetite... It is mainly Lamb and chicken, rice, bulgur wheat and salad with flat bread and sauces - mind some of the 'salsa' as it can be quite spicy... Good portion sizes and tastefully served. Dessert menu is deceptive. Only a few choices - but they do cover quite a spectrum and when your choice arrives you are in for more surprises - I had the strawberry cheesecake and I can tell you theirs is different - not your bulk buy store bought cheesecake - theirs is either quality bought or home made - the texture is different but the taste is great. Add to that a nice cocktail and a smart wine list to top and tail the meal and I can tell you we left content.

Delicious food, huge(!) portions, good value. Friendly staff, and quick service.

One word… SUPERB! Amazing staff, Yakup, Denis and the team will take good care of you, authentic Turkish cuisine and atmosphere, if you like good food, great company and want to feel part of the family, kids welcome, enjoy the grilled food.. enjoy the cocktails and raki. Book now you will not be disappointed.

Such an amazing restaurant. Amazing food, amazing staff and Yakup is outstanding. Great music, ambience and as a lover of Turkey, it was honestly not only an incredible meal but an incredible night out.

Just had the most amazing meal at this beautiful place this evening. The staff from start to finish were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly having taken my two young children to. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you are in the area. Portions are very generous. Will certainly be making a second trip there soon. Thanks to all the team at Turkoman 👏👍

Wow! We came here to celebrate a birthday. The staff were welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They brought out a sparkler on a dessert for our daughter's birthday. The food was plentiful and tasty and it was really busy even though we arrived early in the evening. Thank you to the waiters who really made our daughter's evening a special one. Would definitely go again and would recommend this place.

Wow wow wow. Superb food and quality.. very reasonable priced and a good selection of drinks. The plates were filled and seasoned beautifully. The lamb beyti was tender and cooked to perfection, as was the chicken beyti. Nothing was left on our plates and we were very full by the end.. The salad had a beautiful dressing to it. I gave a £8 tip to round the bill off. Look forward to our return. Thank you for an amazing experience. . It was like being in Turkey.

Fantastic food and great service!

such an amazing dining experience. food was 10/10 and the staff were so nice and helpful. even the tap water tasted amazing. I <3 TURKOMAN

This place was so good. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The food was stellar and I wish I could eat here every single day. Much love to turkoman

Food looked and tasted amazing and the service was great. Absolute shame this is not local for me but I will be visiting again for sure

Delicious Food. Great Service. Lots of Vegetarian Choices.

Amazing. Sorry we didn't take photos. An amazing meal .The bread with dips was great and the starters. Main meal lamb with rice and salad beautifully prsented but the choice was massive. Couldn't eat a thing afterwards and then gave us tea and Turkish delight for free. Oh and not to mention my wife is disabled and they were amazing. Truly fantastic

Delicious food and good service at Turkoman. I had the lamb guvec in oven which was very tasty. Children enjoyed the kid’s menu chicken kebabs and chips.

My parents took me to this restaurant because they had visited before and knew the staff. I was immediately enchanted by the atmosphere and decorations. The establishment was impeccably clean and had a delightful aroma. The starters were prepared to perfection, particularly the halloumi, accompanied by complimentary bread with an assortment of sauces and olives. We ordered three chicken shish plates and a mixed shish plate. The chicken was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The service was warm and attentive. We even witnessed another table celebrating a birthday, with the waiters bringing a cake and singing Happy Birthday. This is one of the finest Turkish dining experiences I have had in the UK.

Excellent restaurant, parking just around the corner. Ordered starters and mains. Bread and dips come first, yummy. Starters hot prawns, calamari, and hot spicey sausage are all very tasty. Mains 3 lamb klefticos, and lamb and chicken kebab. Huge meal, oh, and rice with bulger wheat each and a very tasty salad to share came as well. So go very hungry. Totally recommend here

We came here with family, meze and meat are really good 👍 portions generous, staff amazing, bar drinks celestial.... Amazing, definitely will come again

Amazing restaurant, it was a first visit and will not be the last

We were in Newmarket for the afternoon and liked the look of Turkoman. They were friendly and welcoming on entering and the restaurant was airy and comfortable. We ordered a mocktail, which was the best I have ever had, and the chicken sharing platter. It came with bread and dips. The salad was delicious and the chicken lovely. Very large plateful which we couldn’t quite finish. We will definitely go there again.

Very nice restaurant. The food is exceptional. Best Turkish restaurant I have ever visited in terms of taste of food.

Absolutely fabulous food, surroundings and service. It was reasonably priced too. I had the kleftika that had the biggest lamb shank I've ever had. All the portions were very generous, even the biggest appetites would have been satisfied. The bread and mezes that they gave us were a lovely touch. It was such a lovely evening and I can't recommend it enough

Popped in for a cheeky lunch on a Tuesday, few people in here, but that was ok, staff great, food choice large, loved everything, wife likes Mediterranean food and wasn’t disappointed. Recommended, should have come here before, and will come again :)

I would share a 5-star review. The problem is the prices on the takeaway menu were lower than what I paid. As evidence, I've attached the receipt.

Great food, Turkish always is, though immensely over priced, so won't be returning or recommending.

Brilliant customer service with great food.

Very tasty and freshly made food. Professional service and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Didn't know what to expect from this Turkish restaurant, but we were not disappointed. Great food, atmosphere, and service. Very quick service but didn't feel rushed. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. 😉

Great service, great food, will be going back again! 10/10

Been for a meal here twice and the food is delicious! Had a takeaway lots of times and you get so much food! By far one of the top two Turkish restaurants I’ve been to! Would highly recommend!

Top notch food and service. We will definitely be returning 👌🏼

Very very good service very helpful even with my newborn baby.food amazing and very good woman waiter very chatty and helpful

Lunch is a great value for money @£9.95 including a soft drink

Visited Monday only thing eaten all of that day, on Tuesday I woke up to “ food poisoning “ I feel so weak and have 3 children to take care of. It’s knocked me off my feet so wrong !

Everything about this place is great

AMAZING TASTING FOOD my taste buds are alive the mixed kebab was sooooo good

If you don’t try this restaurant at least once in your lifetime then your life has been wasted!!! Food is absolutely delicious, waiters are amazingly friendly. My fav place to go

Had a fantastic meal here with family. Everything was delicious from the halloumi starter to the mixed kebab main. The setting is also very nice, spacious with a chilled atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back.

Food is pretty good, but atmosphere and stuff attitude was not great. They would just chat to each other, paid no attention to us. It felt like they would have preferred not to have us there.

Great place, greay food! Very friendly staff!

It's beautifully decorated. The food is amazing and the staff are human! They stand and have a conversation with you, make jokes with you. Perfect for a girls night dinner!

I rarely give 5 stars but this place shines. Great food, generous portions and friendly service. Delicious and well worth a visit!!

The food is amazing and service is very good, they have a small lift to accommodate wheelchair users or anyone who cannot climb the stairs

This place was great! Eat here. The staff was prompt and made ordering easy. Food had amazing flavor. Highly recommend.

The food is great. Everything I have tried has been great. The staff are friendly and attentive as well.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. Everything on the menu looked good and it was hard to choose. I will be coming back!

Love Turkoman, on this occasion everyone enjoyed their meal, on a personal note...my salmon was well overcooked and dry. Fortunately everyone else had great meals. The staff are welcoming and accommodating, no problems there. We will go again.

Amazing taste of Turkish barbeque and mezes, I am happy to recommend very healthy Mediterranean food

What amazing food, absolutely wonderful flavours!!! Great staff and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended and will come again.

Went here for a surprise celebration for my 40th.. Amazing afternoon.. Staff fantastic. Good delicious.. Thank u so much 👍 highly recommended

Authentic Turkish food which is cooked well and tastes 👌 The adana wasn't bulky - which some places tend to - with good consistency and spice. The chicken wings had likewise good flavor. Bit of the pricey side but that's the cost-of-living crisis for you. 2 meals and 2 drinks cost us ~£45, but would highly recommend for a nice lunch/dinner. Lots of parking nearby at the station. Free parking available on some roads to the north, approximately 5 mins walk away (e.g., Doris Road).

Good food, nice atmosphere, would recommend

great atmosphere and welcoming friendly staff and the food was amazing definitely worth the price would recommend to go with friends of family!

Quick and tasty food. Professional staff , Good sitting area.

We have returned to Turkoman many times now. Always made very welcome, friendly service. Love the open kitchen view. Excellent bar. Great decor. Most importantly excellent food.

My wife and I booked an early evening dinner at Turkoman Bar & Grill for a change, and having always been disappointed with other Turkish restaurants, we were slightly apprehensive. We were greeted in a most welcoming manner and seated in what was initially a quiet ambience, the noise levels, as with most restaurants, increased as more diners arrived and did not detract from our experience. The orders were taken, drinks and complimentary Flatbreads, Olives, and some dips were promptly given. We felt welcome and at ease with the pace and service throughout and when our mains arrived, the quality and taste was for us both, exquisite! Those who served us were consistent in service delivery and appropriate friendliness. At no point did we feel rushed and when the bill arrived we felt it represented great value for money. Highly recommended for couples , families and we would be happy to have a larger dinner party here. The decor and comforts and ambiance along with the exceptional service, hospitality and cuisine make this a gem for the area.

Had been recommended so paid a visit today (28th May), lunch for two and we weren't disappointed, pre starter bread with olives, garlic mayo and a spicy tomato dish was delicious but should of skipped my prawn starter as the helpings are very generous, main dish of fried liver and onion was also very good, great staff and sensibly priced will definitely visit again

The food is first class, beautiful restaurant, the staff are very friendly & helpful and price is very good! Highly recommended. Also good veggie options.

Fantastic service, excellent food, highly recommended!

visited Turkoman Bar and Grill several times now, Food is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommended, definitely the best in area !!!

I got the mixed shish grill. 10/10 recommend. I would say the lamb was slightly better then the chicken, but both were great.

Excellent service great food very busy on race days book in advance

The food, service and atmosphere is amazing. The food was amazing and worth the value we paid for it. Would recommend this restaurant and would definitely return. The bread here is amazing too.

This was a great wee find, it is owned by a Turkish Gentleman from Scotland. The restaurant is relaxed, comfortable with plenty of space for ever increasing waistbands, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is plentiful and exceptionally tasty, cooked in an open kitchen. The mixed starters were varied and really good, the Kebab Platter was truly excellent and the Baklava with coffee made a perfect end to the meal. If you are in Newarket do visit this restaurant you are guaranteed a warm welcome and tasty meal that will ruin the morning weigh in.

Beautiful ambience, great food, and friendly customer service. Fair pricing with a wide variety of meals and drinks.

Despite a blip during opening weekend, I have gone back several times for the Turkomen special and each time it seems to get better. Well done and keep up the good work.

Had a chicken shish and hubby had the eggplant dish. Very tasty and well presented dishes. Plenty of food too(we got to go boxes!). The atmosphere was very neat, clean, cozy, and elegant. The service was good.

Came here for dinner after reading the great reviews but we were disappointed. The main thing to let it down was that the service was poor - we waited 15 minutes before flagging down a waiter to get some drinks, same again for food order. We were squashed in the couple’s row where the tables are more like Ryanair seating than a restaurant, atmosphere is important and it’s not exactly a cramped cobbled street squeezing tables in. The waiters seemed to gravitate towards the same tables over and over which meant neglect for others. Food pushes the review to Okay – its nice but really nothing special some dishes were quite nice particularly the aubergine cold starter. Efes in Cambridges just does it better and the meats are more tasty. Unlikely to visit again.

Set lunch very tasty and very good price and very nice staff! :)

Absolutely fabulous food, great restaurant and our waiter, Ali, was the star of the show. Brilliant. Definitely will eat there again.

Brilliant meal, great value &good food.

The Atmosphere is easy to the eye, its music is upbeat but not too loud ! Food was Fabulous and service was very good ! What a lovely surprise to find this restaurant so good in Newmarket ! Will look forward to coming back each time I am in the country ! Thank you so much.

Amazing lunch menu. Very good value. Attentive and cheerful staff. Very welcoming.

What you pay £9.95 in Unico made from fresh here costs £17.90 from frozen. I promised myself I wont step foot in there but I was dragged by a friend. Staff is great though!

Not as good as everyone says. Yes - value for money, but if you want same boring flavour that’s you choice then. Chicken, lamb and chicken wings same flavour. Really average place.

Superb place,have been wanting to try here for a while and it didn't disappoint 😃.

It’s so amazing place. We visited restaurant for the first time and we left so excited: atmosphere warm, so welcomed, staff friendly and food just amazing! Price -worth every penny!Definitely we will go back!

love their food and a lovely atmosphere
