Uni Kebab in Southampton

we served by zoha kamila. nice food and good service

Great food, great service and lovely live music. Excellent 👍🎊🍾

Great food but the live music was way too loud!

Most gorgeous food and staff.. always makes you feel welcome and they honestly have the best food in town 😋♥️♥️

Omar provided excellent service. I regret ordering the baklava as it was too delicious, while my stomach was near to bursting. Would gorge again

Amazing food and service, the live music was fabulous. Must visit on a weekend if you like to enjoy some good live music with your food.

I'd like to thank the team for a wonderful night out yesterday. The Service was amazing from everyone especially our waitress Kamila and Maya. The food was simply delicious especially the suck pizza and the desserts were Amazing . My nan’s 80th Birthday was made very special.🎉🥂 Thank you to the singer for singing the Birthday song, it made my her night ! I’d also like the thank the lady owner for setting up our table with balloons and for her hospitality. We’re already looking forward to going to Uni Kebab again soon for my birthday 🎁 🙌

Amazing food, great portion (I had the player for one and oh gosh!!!). Great live music and musician (Phelo Ure). 10/10 would highly recommend.

Love everything about the restaurant! The food is great, price is reasonable, and the atmosphere and service are nice. I went there to catch-up with a friend. We ordered "Uni Special for Two" that turned out to be super delicious and has large portions. We ended up bringing most of it home :) I also love the Turkish tea (freshly brewed with cloves. It somehow tastes like home in Indonesia! 🥹🥰 To add the lovely experience, the restaurant is warm (literally!) and figuratively. Love the interiors. And more importantly, our waiter, Abu was fantastic 👍He was very helpful and friendly. We couldn't ask for more :) Thank you Uni Kebab for the quality food and the great service provided for us today!

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but this place truly deserves it. You know that feeling when a spot just clicks, and you leave already thinking about when you’ll be back? That was this experience for my wife and me. We found this gem while browsing online. Although we live nearby, I’d figured it was more of a spot for the younger university crowd. But after reading some reviews that suggested otherwise, we thought we’d give it a shot. When we arrived around 6 p.m., we were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The place was a little bit busy but had plenty of reserved tables — and, let me tell you, I’ve never seen a restaurant fill up so fast. Within half an hour, it was packed, and a musician began playing live, setting a wonderful mood. It was very unexpected and made the evening even more special.Before we knew it, we were tapping our feet, whistling, and enjoying mocktails as the atmosphere came alive. The food was a real highlight. For starters, we had sucuk and halloumi, served with complimentary yogurt dips, fresh salad, a spicy salad, and warm bread — everything tasted spot-on. Then came the mains: I ordered lamb chops, and my wife had the chicken shish with bulgur. Those lamb chops were easily the best I’ve had, and I tried a bit of my wife’s chicken, which was equally delicious. We capped the meal with a baklava and ice cream to share, which was a perfect, sweet ending. The service was top-notch, from the host to the waitstaff. They genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. They even offered us tea before we left, which was a nice touch that ended the evening on a high note. We’re already looking forward to our next visit Thank you John and Sandra

Excellent food and atmosphere. Umar was a great server!

Umar and all the staff at Uni Kebab couldn’t have been more accommodating to a large group of us. The food was incredible, really generous portions, wonderfully flavourful. The live music, elevated the visit from a great meal with friends, to an unforgettable experience none of us were expecting.

Went here for a birthday dinner. Party of 13, we weren’t sat together and soon as we was there was being rushed to order and eat as we only had 2 hours slot. Just felt rushed. Food was cold, was annoying being reminded constantly that there was other people that was going to use the table.

First time visiting, amazing food and singer was great!

Great food, genuine Turkish doner.

Honestly the best Kebab place you'll visit! Great atmosphere, great staff, great food! Will definitely be visiting again! 5 stars!

Food was fantastic! Came here for my daughter's birthday and it was such a lovely experience. We had a sharing platter and the cold mezze. The waiter was very helpful and friendly and always attentive. Will come back for sure!

Very good quality food. I took takeaway.

Recommended by a friend and not disappointed. One of the waiters very smiley and attentive. Food plentiful. Really lovely stylish interior, only negative it was cold in there. But will defo return. Thank you.

Ordered mixed shish and chicken skewer with kofta. This came with sides. Also ordered (not so) spicy salad. You also get a small selection of bread and different selction of sauces/hummus and a big plate of salsa/sauce. Kunafe for dessert. The chicken and kofta were delicious and cooked perfectly. Sadly, the lamb pieces were fatty and not tender at all. The cheese in the dessert was melted enough, but the flavour was nice. The place was clean and aesthetic was cute

Good food and amazing service by Anna :)

execellent food Anna is the best 100% recommendation

As usually, Unikebab never disappoint. Great tasty delicious food and a great portion. Today I am taking half my Iskender home... Ana Maria attended our table with a smile and was very helpful. 10 over 10.

Lovely place to enjoy high quality food. We have been attended by Ana María and we have received a perfect treatment. Highly recommended

Great service from Zoha, lovely abd tasty food and good amount, great atmosphere all round.

My day a Uni kebab was a very carlming and nice experience and the atmosphere was the best with some nice people to serve us like Anna who treated us lovely 😃 👍if anyone asked me for a restaurant I would give them this one. So if anyone come to this restaurant please say thanks to Anna on person and please leave her a review. Well done Uni Kebab 10/10.

I recently visited Uni Kebab Turkish restaurant in Southampton after reading numerous positive reviews online. Most people had a fantastic experience here, and I’m glad to say I was no exception. However, I did notice a few reviews mentioning customers removing the service charge, despite having no issues with the food or service. Personally, I find this a bit unfair. If everything about your visit was good, why undermine the hard work of the chefs, hosts, and wait staff by removing the service charge? In my opinion, it’s a way to show appreciation for their effort, especially when there’s no problem to address, I checked and it was clearly written on the menu so you know this before you order. As for my visit, it was excellent from start to finish. I agree with the majority of reviewers who praised the exceptional and attentive service. The food was well worth the hour-long drive, and the host, who I noticed mentioned in some negative reviews, was genuinely lovely. I believe those who removed the service charge may have done so simply to save a few pounds, and perhaps felt uncomfortable when the host—doing her job—checked if everything was alright. After all, her main concern is ensuring guests leave satisfied. In conclusion, Uni Kebab exceeded all of my expectations. The food, service, and overall atmosphere were outstanding, and the entire team truly deserves recognition for their hard work. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience

First time eating in UniKebab and the service from ANNA was excellent. Lamb steak was cold, over cooked and really chewy, Donor meat was really salty and quite standard. Bread was ok. Lady sitting on the entrance (owner/manager perhaps) refused to take the service charge off and had no customer service skills. In comparison to London Turkish restaurants I think they have a lot to learn. A relaxing, warm and calm atmosphere.

Really Enjoyed the place. Ana was amazing, really helped us with everything, will definately come back.

Lovely service from Anna and great food. Thank you for making our time here so welcoming!

Thanks Anna for your service! Always so friendly, happy and caring

Great food and great service from Anna. Will be coming back again.

A family favourite, been eating at Uni Kebab for years and they never let us down. One of, if not the best kebab shops I’ve been to!

The food was excellent with very good portion sizes and service was very good, definitely recommend.

Delicious Meal. Quality and Quantity wss Good Value of Money Loved it

We had a great vegetarian meal. Good choice of dishes and freshly prepared.

By far the best place I have visited, a friend took me and my family here and it was amazing! The food just amazing we ordered 5-6 platter to share! the milkshakes omg they are just insane! The overall experience was amazing! The live music, the atmosphere the staff the venue itself it’s just so beautiful, just so calming and the vibe itself is fab! Will come again for certain

Brilliant service from Maya and Abu, Food was excellent, will definitely recommend to others and will for sure be back soon.

I’ve heard great things about this place. I just popped in and have a chicken wrap and chips and it was delicious. Great customer service, will be back again. Thank you!

Been a couple of times. Blown away by how fresh and tasty the food is, from the salad to the mains you can taste it is prepared with pride. Welcoming hosts and Anna who served us was friendly and attentive.

Always such a lovely experience at the Uni Kebab restaurant! Anna, our server was such a sweet and helpful lady. Providing us with top tier service and a big smile on her face. My favorite Turkish restaurant to visit since moving to the U.K. I would highly recommend! The produce is always fresh and the restaurant is clean, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I always look forward to coming back!

Bine! Best restaurant in Southampton. Anna Maria is fantastic. Food is the best Turkish food I have eaten in the UK.

Awesome food. Exceptional quantity. Anna's service and hospitality was awesome 👌😊

Anna served our food and she was very lovely and polite, music was great, food was amazing, portion size outstanding, enjoyed it thoroughly! Thank you very much!

Abu and Anna were awesome. Food was fresh. Thank you!

The food was delicious and the service was so helpful and friendly Anna is the best 😁

Amazing food, delicious with huge portions. Our waiters Kamila, Anna and Abu made our dinner a great experience

Delicious food and great service thank you Ana for thanking care of us

Abu Bakar is a brilliant guy who gave us a 5 star service. He was patient, polite and helpful. 10 out of 10. Will definitely go again.

Food delicious experience was great Ann service provided by Anna excellent thank you guys for taking care of us

Great restaurant. Food is good and quantity is heavy. Ask for Anna, she is the best

I had an amazing experience at Uni Kebab ® Turkish Restaurant! Ana provided exceptional service—she was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and beautifully presented. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

Found this place by accident, and I'm so thrilled I did. The food is incredible, the portions are huge for the price, the building is clean, there was love music, 10/10 all around. Will be back very soon

Wonderful experience tonight. All the waiting staff was attentive especially our waitress Kamila was great, food was awesome 😁

The food the last few times I have been hasn't been like it used to be in the old building, I had an upset stomach after eating last time I came, it's a shame as I used to like coming here.

Certainly! Here’s an updated version with a shoutout to Anna: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Just had an amazing meal at Uni Kebab Turkish Mangal in Southampton, and I’m so glad we tried it! We ordered the sharing platter for two, recommended by our fantastic server, Anna, who helped us pick the perfect option. She was brilliant – attentive, friendly, and clearly knows the menu well! The food was beautifully cooked, full of flavor, and the portion was generous. Each bite was better than the last! The atmosphere was welcoming, and Anna’s recommendation made it even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Turkish cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely atmosphere, freshly made and delicious food. Service was great 👌 I would come back there again and would recommend everyone to visit!

Great food great place to eat. Well done

Impromptu date night. Amazing food and service as always

We have been coming here for years but I’m afraid both me and my partner had food poisoning after our food last night. The rice was undercooked and although at the time we didn’t think much of it but it kept me up all night vomiting. This is incredibly irresponsible of the restaurant to serve customers undercooked food and cause them severe harm

Overcharged and gave me stinky kebab Staff is polite but charged me 50£ fpr pizza and lamb 4 chops

Have been here before, tried some new dishes chicken parma didn't taste of much and the other chicken shish in yoghurt was not good either the team did offer a replacement, so that was appreciated. The servers were very friendly and kind but we did ask for turkish tea and after waiting 20mins we left. The music is a little loud but atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Just disappointed with the food especially when you pay £60 for 3 dishes you expect better quality and taste.

Best place in Southampton. Me and my family love coming here. Everyone is friendly and the food is very delicious. My favourite is the wombo combo platter with the lamb chops and ribs. Their milkshakes are also delicious and I usually don’t like milkshakes. Definitely try this place if your in the area.

No matter where I go, I will always return to Uni Kebab. Their meat is always fresh, the staff always take good care of you. There's always leftovers to take home as they don't cut down on their quantity or quality. If you're looking for a place to go, come here, you won't regret it. I've been here more times than I can count and will return again! The live music tonight was amazing, as always. Keep up the good work guys!!

Absolutely fantastic, really good food and a nice touch with the live singer.

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly workers + food was top notch!!! Great flavours and big portions. Ilmar & Zoha - Be proud of this establishment. A diamond in Southampton!

The food was really good, high quality ingredients nicely presented. Chips were excellent. Our only grumble was the high level of noise from the music. We'll definitely return though.

Had a lovely time at uni kebab tonight! The food was sublime and the service was even better. A special thank you to Umar and Zoha who made my family feel welcome from the onset. Would highly recommend everyone to visit!

Awesome place really cool owners👍

Amazing food as usual and good service! The waiter gave us good advice on food portion and choices, very helpful ☺️ Definitely recommend

I recommend this place with all my heart ❤️ there is a climate, a wonderful atmosphere, wonderful cuisine and wonderful waiters who are always there to help 😍 I am delighted with this place ❤️

Very big plates. Friendly and quick service

Very nice place to eat,great stuff 🙂

Thank you so much for looking after us. We had a delish meal and amazing service; we love coming here, and their is something for everyone. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the portion sizes are generous.

This is a must try, food is excellent and service was great - our host was Maya was very attentive.

Very big portion 😂 be careful before making your order. Good food, definitely will come back.

Amazing food, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Every time I come in here it’s amazing! Our waiter Umar gave amazing service and free Turkish tea!

Delicious food and excellent, friendly service. Look forward to eating there again

Very popular dinning, Uni in the name, and it's location may imply University students, at least that's what I thought, but no only was the place rammed, the clientele was age diverse as well as ethnically diverse. The food was amazing, tasty and fresh, I have had many a kebab after a night in the pub, I can assure you this was nothing like that. I would recomend this restaurant to anyone.

We had the bast food and Service it was very good zaha that girl she was very good smile and help full 100% we come back thank you

We ate in once and it was amazing. We ordered take away a few times and although the food continues to be amazing, I feel like customer service should improve. I asked the first time (when I could get through their phone) if possible for chips to be in a separate container, and they very kindly did that, but the last couple of times the lady at the desk refused. She didn’t even bother to ask the kitchen staff. I respect that it’s her right to refuse but I don’t understand why and I think it’s not a big deal for them to do separate containers if the costumer has a preference. I tried to call them several times and there was no answer. When I arrived at the restaurant, it wasn’t busy at all and the lady at the front said the phone wasn’t ringing but when I showed her the phone number and asked if that was it she said “maybe”. She didn’t even care. When I tried phoning again on the spot just to check, there was no phone ringing at the front desk. So they either have it on silent so they don’t have to answer it or their line isn’t working, however this is not the first time it happened.

Great food. The soup was amazing and the cold mezze is always great option. Chicken and lamb shishs are a must and always excellent in flavour. At the end you can enjoy a nice Turkish tea. The only think is service could be a bit better. It was good but always try to be more empathic with kids

Happened to be in Southampton and chose to go here based on their reviews. I can hands down say this is in my top 3 turkish restaurants iv been to in UK. The flavours were unique and everything tasted so fresh. Usually in Turkish places when you order mixed grills there's always something that you don't like but every single meat and side was a strong 9/10. After speaking to the chef he explained they use all homemade recipes but most importantly organic meats. It's clear he was telling the truth and it all made sense. Tasted very similar to the restaurants in actual Turkey. It's not the cheapest place, 4 adults and 4 kids ate generously for £150 but I would happily spend this again here. Wish I had a branch in London. Keep up the great work

Very good food and very nice staff, thanks Kamila!

Ana is the best she is sooo great!

Lovely and friendly, especially Anna! Really good service from everyone :)

The food was the best the floors were clean and the staff was great and the service was very fast and good

Had a lovely time here. Food was very tasty and great service. Particularly Anna (hope that's how she spells it!) who took our photo with our tasty milkshakes! :)

Visited for my birthday, our server Anna sang ‘happy birthday’ when bringing our desserts and made our visit extra special. The food, as always was excellent, especially the baklava!

Had an amazing evening staff so attentive happy to explain anything on menu.Food was absolutely wonderful.Will definitely be going back ❤️❤️

Best restaurant in Southampton!! ⭐️⭐️

I went to Uni Kebab with my child today. The weather was a bit chilly and my little girl was cold. A lady welcomed us at the door. They gave us a table in the hallway. I asked if one of the tables inside was available. She said we could sit if we made a reservation. I opened the website and made a reservation. I told her we would come in an hour. Then she said even if we came, we would sit at this table. Her attitude was very rude. I think she was arrogant because she was the wife of the owner. I have never experienced something like this in a restaurant before. I have known this kebab restaurant for 10 years. It used to be much more friendly before. I took my children and we ate another restaurant. I am very disappointed.

Hello, thank you for your response. I don't know who wrote this message. I'm sure there is a camera in your restaurant, please turn it on and watch it and see how the restaurant owner talked today. I know she may be the owner of the restaurant but she doesn't give the right to talk to a customer in such a degrading manner. I didn't even know about the music broadcast that day, I just came to eat with my children on a Sunday. If you had explained that restaurant is busy because of the music broadcast, I could have understood the situation. The high demand should not cause the respect for the customer to decrease. This will be against the business. When I previously ordered a kebab for 4 people, a portion for 2 people was delivered and when I wrote this as a comment on Instagram, my comment was deleted instead of explaining. I don't think it's right to ignore criticism instead of evaluating it. My children were disturbed by the attitude of the lady who owns the restaurant and did not want to eat there.That’s why we had to leave. In your answer you say that we need to make a reservation but we can't choose which table to sit at. If there is a way we can make sure that you don't reserve in front of the door, please specify. Thank you.

Our waiter was lovely and very helpful, happy to help us with the menu's. Food was fresh and delicious, we ordered the chicken donner and lamb chops and we definitely recommend both. Will come back again soon!

1st visit and I was very Impressed,service top notch and the staff very professional. The food was great wuthbig

Best kebab meat I've ever tasted and very generous with their portions, well worth the money and will definitely be a regular, I had the hot shot calzone it was amazing 😍

This restaurant was absolutely beautiful. Our server Anna was very nice and very helpful. The food was delicious and at a good standard, lovely staff on hand. 10/10 experience thank you so much!
