Askim’s Turkish Restaurant Scarborough — Restaurant in Great Britain

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant at all. We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. Updated: You can also see their reply to my review here, which sadly proves just how rude they are — rather than offering a simple apology, they respond with insults and false accusations. They seem more interested in blaming the customer than reflecting on their own behaviour.

For context, I’ve written nearly 150 reviews of different restaurants around the world, and I’ve rarely encountered service this poor.

We ordered a cold starter (olives and hummus), which came straight from the fridge and was very small. We then waited over 45 minutes for our main dishes. Despite asking twice, the staff just said “OK” and did nothing. When we asked again, the waiter raised his voice and accused us of being rude, instead of simply apologising for the delay.

We decided to cancel the mains and pay only for the starter. Shockingly, they quickly brought the bill without a word of apology. When I asked to speak to the manager, they pointed to another staff member who was equally rude and dismissive. Both spoke aggressively and tried to stop other customers from hearing.

In the end, we left without even trying the mains, and the whole evening was ruined. The starter had normal quality, portions were tiny, and the staff’s behaviour was completely...

Had this place on my list of places to go to for a while and can honestly say wish I came here earlier.

The service was 10/10 as soon as stepped into the restaurant we felt welcomed even when we didnt have a table booked. The food was amazing. We didnt wait long for our order to be taken or for food to arrive at the table. The main was roasting hot and delicious. I would say the main is a little on the price side but you get what you pay for and meat is a lot more expensive these days. The complimentary bread and dip was very sweet touch.

We got a pornstar martini and the show that came with it was very unexpected and amazing as didn't expect it. My Turkish read wine complimented the mixed kebab very well.

We gave a generous tip as we felt tbe service is really what made us feel welcome and will definitely be coming back again soon.

I would also like to add that I come on here for HONEST reviews and to post a negative review about some place would be it was awful from start to finish. Ive read a review and the owners response and would like to commend the owner for speaking back. I also work in a resturant and majority of the time the customers are WRONG. They never tell what a pain they actually are and never tell the truth. Keep going. You have a great resturant and...

Stumbled upon this gem yesterday and wow, I'm glad I did. The food is absolutely superb! And I don't say this lightly.

We were given a small bowl of bread and a side with 2 sauces (chili and tzatziki) with green and black olives. The bread was freshly baked and oh, soft to the touch! A delight to eat before the main course.

I ordered the chicken shish and chicken kofta combination. When served, the meats were warm and fragrant and the overall plate presentation was quite good. Cutting into the chicken shish piece, the chicken reveals a juicy inside which was a delight to chew. Almost melt-in-your-mouth experience. The kofta pieces were seasoned well and a treat to eat, too. The great thing about the chicken was it wasn't over oily and each piece was tender to the touch. Needless to say, I took my time and finished the dish, leaving no trace behind.

The salad was a lovely addition. I wish I could have asked for more pomegranate seeds! The rice was soft and fragrant, complimenting the chicken very well. I couldn't stop raving about the rice.

I would give this experience six stars out of five if I could. I will definitely return again! Thanks to the waiter, Unut, for the warm hospitality and convincing us to...
