Akasya is a great introduction to Turkish cuisine and excellent value. A feast for two was ordered for little more than £30 and our drinks were given to us free. The staff were also quite friendly - helpful with ensuring me that food was safe from nut contamination. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone with food allergies and hesitant to try new food.
I generally shy away from spicy food, but was glad to find that my chicken breasts were were most delicious and quite tolerable in terms of spice. For those who prefer lots of spice in their food, there are other options including the chicken wings that my friend could attest to. The service was fast as well and came over to ask if everything was alright. It’s these small things that show customers that they care and can help form loyal regulars.
It is important for restaurants to ensure their menu offers a wide variety of food suitable for all their customers. I didn’t plan to come here initially. KO Grill was my initial choice, but upon learning that traces of nuts would be inevitable in anything they cooked, we left and went to Akasya where I was delighted to find they could cater for me. For this reason, I commend such establishments for their efforts in...
Read moreVisited this Turkish restaurant for a family birthday. The food is amazing. The meal in the photo is for 2 people. There's a bit of everything on the plate, lamb ribs, lamb chops chicken wings chicken pieces plus flat bread on the bottom with rice. £31.95. Well worth it. They sell EFES on draught which we drink when we go to Turkey. We booked ahead for 8 people so we had to pay a cash deposit of £5.00 per head. The staff are lovely and they can speak Turkish. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Its only been open a few months and its really popular. We will definitely be returning. Update 17.11.21. We said we would return and we did for my husbands birthday. It was much quieter as we visited middle of the week. The staff are outstanding. Their impeccable manners towards customers is star quality. We ordered garlic mushrooms , chicken sizzler and lamb shish kebab the food is so tasty and well cooked. The food came quite quickly as I said the restaurant was quieter than a weekend. I've posted pics of the food and I recommend you try this place. If you like Turkish food and love the Turkish culture, try here you won't be disappointed. We will...
Read moreOverall a positive experience.
Food (4/5) - decent, clean and tasty food for what you pay for. Nothing about it was mindblowing for me to give it a perfect 5, but it was still of a very high, satisfactory standard. Can't think of any faults, other than maybe one tiny one of there being no seasoning/dressing on the salad that most good Turkish restaurants provide. Oh, but the complimentary bread was amazing. Top marks for that! As well as the sauces provided.
Service (5/5) - the staff were great. Very polite. Weren't intrusive. Seemed to have a good habit of reading the room and providing you assistance just when you needed it
Atmosphere (5/5) - clean, nice decor. Good vibes. For me, allowed me to wind down and enjoy a nice meal after a long day's work.
So yeah, overall spot on. Next time I'm in the area I'm tempted to go back, but I also want to try out other restaurants in the area to...
