Turkish Kitchen Selly Oak — Restaurant in Birmingham

The staff and management system is chaotic: a full blown shouting argument erupted between staff & our side dishes were angrily plonked onto our table before the waiter flounced! No table service - we had to fetch the plates, cutlery and cups ourselves. Friends of staff milling in and out of the kitchen the entire time. Another table's order was mismanaged with orders getting mixed up. No light in men's toilet - son needed phone torch to use the facility. Husband cut his arm on part of a metal sheet randomly sticking out and away from a decaying section of the toilet wall. Women's toilet drabby, shabby, tired looking and dirty. It's advertised as 5* food hygiene rated (which is why we gave it a go having walked past it the day before) but it's really not from what we witnessed. The Turkish style food was ok. Just shy of quite nice. We'll not go back though. 2.5 stars is...

Restaurant is definitely not turkish and nowhere near it. They're all Asians and not even from here. Hardly speak any English. They have a big leaflet by the till which says asian food.

I thought why not..so I ordered lamb biryani and lentil curry or whatever its called. Paid £17 for two pieces of lamb with some rainbow looking rice and it was spicy as hell. The "dhaal" lentils was even worse..I couldn't even eat it because of spicy it was..bloody £17 went straight to the bin. Can Pakistanis please stop acting Turkish or as if they know about Tukrish food. its NOWHERE near your type of food which is spicy and Turkish food tastes...

The food at this place is outstanding, especially the carribean food they now offer too.

The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because the hand dryer in the toilet is always broken and it could be much cleaner and better maintained for a restaurant in the toilets. Also I really think the staff are very friendly but many of them dress inappropriately in hoodies and tracksuits in the kitchen which really takes away from this place.

Other than those two points, as I said the food is delicious here! I'd love to see them read this and sort...
