Turkish Best Grill — Restaurant in England

Luton Best Grill isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. My family and I have been coming here for years, and in that time, the staff have become like family to us. We’ve moved out of Luton now, but that hasn’t stopped us from making the trip back every chance we get. In fact, before our recent holiday abroad, we drove over 200 kilometers from Kent to Luton, just to eat here again — yes, it’s that good.

Words genuinely fall short when trying to describe how incredible the food is. The lamb shish? Out. Of. This. World. It’s the softest, most tender, most flavorful lamb you’ll ever taste — and somehow, every meat they cook is just as perfect. We’re honestly still baffled — how do they marinate and cook it so beautifully? It’s magic, pure and simple.

The chefs clearly pour heart and soul into every dish, and it shows. The staff? Absolute gems. So warm, welcoming, and attentive — it always feels like coming home when we walk in. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is always on point, and the quality never drops, no matter how busy they are.

If I could rate this place 11/10, I would. If you’re anywhere remotely near Luton — or even if you’re not — it’s worth the journey. This place is a true hidden gem, and we’ll keep coming back for as long as they’ll have us. Thank you to everyone at Luton Best Grill — we...

As a family, we visited Turkish Best Grill. Before going in, we confirmed that they would provide a VAT receipt at the end of our payment.

Upon leaving the restaurant, they provided us with the bill, but we asked again to make sure we would receive the VAT receipt. However, we were told that the bill was the receipt. I explained that a receipt should include a VAT number. One of the waitresses responded rudely, saying that she only had that bill. The conversation took a funny turn when another staff member joined in while I was speaking.

The food was delicious, but the customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. Having worked in a restaurant for 10 years, I know that the main focus should be on customer service and resolving any issues to satisfy the customers, rather than just saying "What can I do, I don't have a VAT receipt?" It's unbelievable that a place cannot provide a VAT receipt to its customers after taking their payment, especially when I mentioned it upon entering. My company was supposed to pay for my meal if I provided a VAT receipt. In this unacceptable situation, I had to pay £47 out of my pocket.

Was it right for the staff to call the bill a receipt when it didn't include...

Firstly, it needs to be understood that this is a proper Turkish restaurant.

Having spent last year travelling around Turkey I can safely say this is authentic Turkish cuisine.

It was a pleasant suprise to also find authentic Turkish hospitality. The staff were just as I found in Turkey - welcoming and genuinely passionate about food and taking care of their customers.

Today was my first time here and for starters I had a mix of grilled Turkish bread with seasoning, fresh selection of marinated olives, Cacik, Hummus and a traditional Turkish salad. These were accompanied by freshly made chilli sauce as well as a classic side sauce.

Starters score 10/10.

For mains, I ordered a Yogurtlu Shish. This is a dish that has grilled lamb mixed with butter and special sauce layered on fresh Turkish bread topped with a serving of Turkish yogurt. It was accompanied by a grilled pepper and a mushroom for the finishing touch.

Mains score 10/10.

I capped this with a Turkish tea served in a traditional glass to end the evening.

The reason for my maximum scores is that I have high expectations when it comes to Turkish food. These expectations were met and I felt like I was on holiday in...
