Anar Turkish BBQ Restaurant

Very disappointing. First I was told I could choose where to sit. As I was about to sit down, I can only assume it was the manager that said I could not sit where I had chosen. We were then moved between two tables I had hoped to avoid. There is no room at the smaller tables for a handbag. We were placed by the window which had a cold draft. I swapped places with my friend in the hope of getting away from the draft but this came under the table. And I had to sit with my coat and scarf on my legs. I had noticed the restaurant was quite cold, so that is why I had chosen the table in front of the grill, only to be told to move… The food was a huge let down even with the poor service and atmosphere I thought I would at least get a good meal. The starters arrived after some time. The calamari was totally overdone and no lemon wedge was served. It was like chewing rubber. The garlic mushrooms were quite bland and the sauce was very thin. The lamb shish was very small and again overcooked. You could chew on it all day like cowboys. The rice was vile, neither my friend nor I touched it after one mouthful. My friend said his mixed was also overdone and dry. Portions are small. Service is awful. They served our mains before we finished our starters and then left our starter plates on the minute table for us to struggle with room. No check backs were done. We did order Turkish tea but they forgot about us. There are TVs in the restaurant, something I personally dislike but I know that it is popular with some. Lots of noise made for birthdays of which there appeared to be many in midweek early December. I would not return and definitely not recommend. There are much better restaurants in liverpool worth the drive. Staff are just rude.
