Turqusine Grill Meze Turkish Restaurant — Restaurant in Maidstone

We were looking for a restaurant to go to since we are new to the area and we came across this place.

On first impression, I thought the food was decent. The portion sizes were quite big and at the price range it was a bargain. Taste wise it wasn't bad and it is slightly better than your average Turkish restaurant. I recommend the lamb or chicken beyti (as a big eater I struggled to finish it).

The atmosphere in the restaurant wasnt anything special. It partially had a cafeteria vibe however, the back of the restaurant which is for reserved customers only was nicer. The theme didn't particularly make sense as you had green led light hanging from the roof but, each to their own.

On a more positive note the service was pretty good. All of the staff members were nice and accomodating which made up for the wait of the food which was relatively long considering we were the only people in the restaurant.

Overall, I’d rate this place a 6/10. It’s a decent spot for a one-off meal and worth trying at least once. However, it’s not somewhere I’d personally rush back to. Still, everyone’s taste is different; so I’ll leave it to you to decide...

Authentic Turkish cuisine, Mezes was good accompanied with tasty fresh bread and its deserved the 3* . We should stop on it then . Our main dishes was dry and overcooked 1* , salad to salty , portion supposed to have 2 Adana kebabs according to menu , we just got one and some randomly added pieces of meat and tiny 2 tablespoon of rice ,absolutely nothing like pictures on Google. So I can't say the portions are generous at all , rather reduced by half , due to Groupon voucher. The voucher n its own costs £34 for £80 towards food, our bill was £115 for 5 people having 2 shared mix Mezes , 3 portiond of bread , 1 main tiny ,dry and overcooked meat + tablespoon of rice + salty lettuce with oil and can of drink each . Regardless of the discount , final bill in total covered 2x proper family mix grill we usually order from other place and having much more food ,grilled vegetables and loads of sauces ,rice etc . Absolutely not worth of price with and without discount voucher at all . Generally mixed feelings about food , but we had nice family meeting anyway twisted it to a joke . After some recommendations expected...

I visited with my daughter for lunch on Saturday. It was a bit early, thus the place was not crowded. We were approached in a very friendly, familiar way: for us very pleasant as our family lives abroad. We ordered a meal each and were served 4 cold mezes. Among those, even if they were all amazing, I had the absolutely BEST tzatziki and hummus EVER, and I love them since I tasted them for the first time nearly forty years ago. Stunning texture, incredible flavour and the home made bread that came with the mezes was equally incredible! We than had a main, also absolutely delicious! Do I recommend? Wholeheartedly! Yes, yes, a hundred times hundred yes! Leaving I had part of my meal wrapped as it was too much for me, and I also bought 2 breads and some baklava. This is so far the best place I visited for Turkish/Armenian food. For the mezes I was too late, sorry! 😅 And the Baklava was gone before I got home, one of the nicest, crispiest I have ever...
