Valentines in Newport

just had a fantastic meal with the wifey here. We had the hummus & platter no1 for 2 people. The food was fabulous and had to have some as a take out as there was that much. The young lady that served us couldn't do enough for us. The chef came over to say hi and he was really nice and was happy to explain what was in the sauces etc. Genuine people and wanted us to have a great experience and we did. Definatley going back. I would highly recommend.

Big Dissapointment!!! Again... Thrice bitten now, there won't be a forth. Quality has seriously dropped. Used to be very good but not anymore. Stale bread, stale salad, or I should say, Lettuce as no other veg in it. Meat Quality has also declined. Very expensive. I Will not be back as one can get alot better Quality for the pound elsewhere. My advice, AVOID......

What a disappointment! The worst kebab ever! Massive disaster! Very expensive . Delivery was late. Please do a favour for yourself and don’t even bother to spend your money and time on Valentines! Awful! They shouldn’t even advertise themselves as a kebab shop!

Unfortunately we ordered a takeaway, was late and stone cold,both delivery drivers had an attitude and subsequently we will never order from here again

Had a takeaway after visiting hospital food and service were really good. Good choice on the menu and reasonable prices with good portions.

Amazing takeaway tonight and will not be our last order. I have always purchased from other Turkish restaurants in Newport and never this place. Can’t believe we have never known how good it is, what a hidden gem. The bread is so fluffy and fresh! It was delicious and huge portions. The meat was unbelievable, so tender and really good quality. Came with rice and chips and I ordered extra as normally we need to. I did not need to bother as again huge portions! By far the best Turkish in Newport.

Very simple interior, clean, well kept annex to a busy takeaway and bakery. Excellent food, freshly prepared and a great selection, we had the grill platter between two of us, lamacun,humus, and falafel, it arrived with a tasty simple fresh salad and fresh bread. I love Turkish tea, and it was served although not on the menu. A 1.5l bottle of soft drink was only £3.00 . Overall an excellent meal, very friendly staff, fresh food, and an excellent experience. Will definitely visit again, we live 30 miles away, near Monmouth, well worth the drive. Several proper old Newport pubs nearby also worth a visit.

Ordered food on their app to pick up at 6.25..had a call at 5.30 asking if I was having it delivered.i explained I was getting it at the time I'd said ..when I took it to the car to check it was stone cold .took it back in ,guy said I'll sort it..got it home,he's obviously lobbed it all in the microwave,salad as well ....aweful..back to sen for me.

We ordered the mix grill for 2..had a bit of a wait but was worth it. Excellent quality Meat..came with lots of delicious rice,chips and fresh made bread…sauces Definitely be going again

Good quality food tasty and served quickly. Overall very pleased with food price and service. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Unfortunately a payment was taken twice, and 2 deliveries were delivered with 5 minutes of each other. When I spoke to the restaurant a child who answered told me ‘that ain’t our problem init’ do not order from here.

Me and the wife walked in on a quiet Monday afternoon, initially warmly greeted by the owner who told us to sit. When he came to take the order, he was in such a haste, his concentration was on his mate few tables away. Once we got to the drinks order he left before we could order the drinks as his food was served. So I had to go to the counter to get the drinks from the man behind the counter. Whilst the owner was just sitting there eating with his mate. This was followed by more of his mates joining after. This felt more like a place for his friends then customers. Now the food was uninspiring, my wife’s lamb chops were well over done, almost to the point of burnt. The rice was undercooked. I actually had a decent daily specials ( only good part of the experience). All in all I would avoid, there are plenty of good Turkish food places 30 seconds walk from this place. Avoid!

Nice and cosy place. I had meat soup there it was amazing. They do serve kebab and Turkish pizza as well. They are all look nice. Highly recommended

This is a Turkish owned and run restaurant with the usual menu of kebabs etc. The lamb soup is very good but for me it’s the really good lentil soup that makes me come back. Vine leaves are great and salad fresh Generous helpings, lovely home made breads and pide. Low on drinks choice but the atmosphere and staff are warm and welcoming. Good food at a reasonable price.

This is a simple and small place but very clean and food is amazing and cheap. Food is freshly cooked and served hot and fast. We attended today Saturday as group of 12 women friends for a brunch or call it a banquet. They started with coffee, water then traditional tea, followed by numerous traditional Turkish dishes (salads, Lahm Ajeen, Pida, Borak, grilled cheese, Kaymak, honey, labna, olives, delicious Turkish bread, shakshooka..... I can not even remember it all. The owner of the place Sherine was attending us, he was very pleasant, funny and even took photos with our mobiles. We had amazing time. There is NCP car park almost one minute walk on the same side of the road for £1 up to 2 hours and £2.50 up to 5 hours.

It's been a long time since our last visit and a change of owner. What a friendly welcome and the food was superb and generous portions. It was that good we went in on Saturday & Sunday!

We were in town for the night and decided to call in for a meal. What a pleasant meal altogether! The salad was very fresh! The meats cooked to perfection and the rice yum! Staff were pleasant too. Thank you so much!

We were in maindee and decided to call in for a meal, the selecyion and pricrs were good and the staff really helpfull.

Valentine's is a good place for a fresh kebab or lachmacun and their strong point is that they really know how to bake the bread. The prices are very cheap, the food is delicious and as well they serve ayran, Turkish tea and coffee and...

A restaurant standard meal at small prices, it was less than six pounds a head but made fresh. They have their own bread which is made to Turkish standards and this forms the basis of the menu, but you could have chips, omlette, burger or...

This place is a bit of a gem. The food is delicious and the prices are incredible. There's not many places you can feed four people and a baby food, drink and desserts for £25. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Try the...

Great Village Breakfast, better than any I have had in Turkey. Such value and such flavour just round the corner Recommended

Called here following a recommendation from a friend. Not a huge menu but plenty of choice. Ordered our meals. They do a great chicken wrap & homemade burger. Their salad is amazing, very fresh, tastes fantastic & is extremely refreshing. I'm not a dessert lover...

What can I say, so happy we found this wonderful authentic cafe. From the Turkish tea to the fantastic food. The service was fantastic with a big smile nothing was too much trouble, quality food and definitely value for money. Highly recommended will be back...

Valentine's is not a restaurant as such but a cafe with Turkish snacks. They make beautiful turkish bread, lahmacun (Turkish Pizza with spicy meat typing) and pide (another type of pizza). The guys who run it are really hospitable and do their best to please...

Went to Valentines for a bit of lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Pida - a Turkish pizza like dish - and my partner had an omelette. To accompany this we ordered a small portion of Turkish bread, when we received...

My hubby and I went here as he'd been with friends and found the place to be really good. The food was hot, cooked fresh and very tasty. Their olive oil bread is amazing! You get loads for your money and it's so reasonably priced....

Had a really positive experience, and would thoroughly recommend for standard of service, standard of food and value for money. Will be going back very soon and taking friends too. The free Turkish tea is extraordinary. This place deserves to be number 1 for Newport...
