A corner shop on Eltham High Road split over two floors. The access to the upper floor is by stairs only.

Attended with family and friends today. Six of us all told. No reservation. But tables were moved around and we were accommodated.

The menu is pretty standard Turkish Cypriot stuff on the kebab side, plus a seafood selection including lobster. Something I will try the next time I attend.

This time round it was prawn cocktail starters for three of our party then a selection of lamb kebabs for main courses.

The food was cooked very nicely. I ordered the prawn cocktail as a starter, which was somewhat spicey so I took I point off the five stars I might have given if it were a normal less spicey prawn cocktail and the latter dish was perfect.. Before that arrived however we were given some hot sliced pitta breads and olives. The pitta breads' were shop bought but fresh.

For my main course I ordered the mixed Kebab. Only order this if you have an appetite. I started off well but soon ran out of steam. The mixed consisted of lamb shish, chicken shish, lamb doner and chicken doner kebabs, plus salad and a choice of couscous, rice or chips.

As I said, a large helping and for under £16. It was nicely cooked. I chose chops on the side which were slim cut and crispy on the outside. The shish kebabs were nicely cooked and moist on the inside. The doner kebabs were Okay but in need of some seasoning, so again, 4 stars contributing.

On the whole however everyone in our party enjoyed their dinner.

Service was attentive, polite and friendly.

This shop has competition from Rixos, just down the road, but I must admit, I think Ziyafet is the better for food. Rixos wins on size and decor.
