The best restaurants serving Turkish food in England

Chosen this place due to cheapness and reviews; found it highly disappointing. Firstly, it was a typical kebab shop with plenty of kitchen staff (all chatting to one another) and a very surly person who manned the orders at the front counter. Didn't expect it to not have table service as they classed themselves a restaurant. The person was very short on manners (no please or thank you). (Originally, I wanted to see a menu, but there were none on the numerous tables, only one on the counter, so had pressure to order quickly. Couldn't see any guvec/stews which I would have liked, so chosen a mixed kebab at £14.50 (chicken/lamb shish and kofte, chips and salad/pickles). I ordered an Esme as well as I wanted a nice sauce to go with it (didn't fancy the cheap help yourself sauces of chilli/mayo/yoghurt) at £5.90. Asked for rice instead of chips and asked for lots of salad. After 10 minutes, the Esme arrived prepared still wrapped in clingfilm with a basket of small/medium bread. This tasted okay, but was overpriced for a dish that was more like a dip. Then, the kebab came on this ridiculously narrow horizontal place. The rice was a very small portion, with bits of chopped up salad and a few pickles. Tried the chicken and to my horror, it was undercooked as it the texture wasn't right. I cut up the rest of the chicken pieces, and to look at it, it looked cooked. I couldn't risk eating this. So, I went onto the lamb shish - this also was difficult to chew as it was all but two out of 6 pieces were slightly red in the middle. I was too afraid to speak up about the undercooked meat for fear of them making a fuss/get angry with me. I left and paid an expensive meal that I'll never ever resort to pay again at this so-called restaurant. Readers: beware of your meat before you eat!!!

Food was ok, however service was dreadful. The waitresses behaved as if we were an inconvenience and one of them was downright rude and snappy. Definitely won’t be returning anytime soon.

How come a mango shake is white

Worst dining experiance ever, food was not edible, food wasnt available. service was terrible..Over priced and didnt know we had to pay extra to sit in until we had to pay! Will never go there again.

My friend and I went with our little ones. We asked if we could see if our toddlers would sit and eat. If so then we would obviously pay the difference between eating in and take away. Three members of staff were adamant that this was not acceptable (and treating as as if we were trying to pull wool over their eyes) therefore we had no other option other than to leave with a take away. We also asked for one skewer of chicken shish (for a toddler) however the staff said that they only do two skewers at a price. Someone please enlighten the staff at this restaurant about the importance of customer service and being flexible. Both my friend and I left feeling very unwelcome here today. Staff here definitely need some training on customer service and meeting the needs of everyone, including those with families and young babies. I won’t and don’t recommend this place with anyone with a young child or toddler.

This restaurant has now changed hands and is now Elite Bar and Kitchen - but I can’t add it as a new restaurant here! Really good food and friendly service on a Monday lunchtime. Restaurant only opened this weekend.

Great place not to busy during afternoon. Got 0% alcohol beer in tab what was a plus. Out side garden with seats cover from rain and wind.

I don't know why it shows as closed. I was there just yesterday. It was our second visit. The last time, about a year ago. The first visit was great. This time it was even better. Nice cosy small place. The food is just to die for. The explosion of flavours. Delicious moctails and coctails. Nice presentation. Lovely customer service. I will be visiting again. The only downside is the toilet.

Unfortunately this restaurant cannot cope with large bookings. Firstly to mention the food, it wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t the best either. I had feta triangles to start and they were greasy and lacked filling. I had the Ottoman casserole for main and it was quite bland. But more importantly, the chefs forgot to cook the main meals for 7 people out of our group. 3 of them left early as they didn’t want to wait and the rest were told after around 1.5 hours of waiting that they hadn’t even started them. It was a shambles and it ruined a 40th birthday meal.

Yaprak is now Lara. Service appalling, no dynamism life or enthusiasm in the staff, one of whom seemed not to know what was on the menu and so wrong dish was served. We had to leave our table on two or three occasions to find a waiter

Visitamos 7 . 30 pm el 28 de septiembre y se sentaron rápidamente y se ordenaron sin problema - pero la comida luego tardó más de 50 minutos en llegar. En ese tiempo otros grupos que habían llegado y pedido antes que nosotros todavía no habían recibido comida. 3 mesas diferentes se levantaron y se fueron antes de pedir o mientras esperaban la llegada de la comida debido al muy mal servicio. Cuando llegó nuestra comida le faltaba pitta y pan plano. La calidad de la comida era bueno para ellos - pero el servicio y la velocidad eran horribles.

Best kebab I’ve ever had! Never been to Silloth so don’t know the local establishments but stumble on this place and it was delicious

Servitören Emra skötte sig väldigt bra. Han var en väldigt pratglad och härlig människa med service som första prioritering.

Best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten. The food was so fresh and flavorful. The chef was so delightful and friendly. Made us feel like family. So good we took dessert to go and it was spectacular. We are visiting for a short time and plan on going back!
