Mavi Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Scotland

I wanted this to be good unfortunately it was terrible. A halloumi and vegetable kebab conjured up ideas of charred chunky halloumi cheese along with delicious fresh vegetables (which are plentiful in September) unfortunately it wasn’t it was far from it. It was tiny pieces of halloumi chopped up with a half of pepper and smothered in a cheap supermarket sweet chilli sauce it wasn’t nice and I told this to the waiter (wearing the batman belt) that it wasn’t good. His attitude was horrible “dae ye want somhing else??” clearly annoyed like it was a hassle and I should have enjoyed the fact that I didn't get what I ordered. Well no I didn’t I wanted the thing I ordered not what I got. This meal was not worth the £14 I paid. When you took away the ramekins you be lucky if it filled half the plate. The rice wasn’t rice either it was barley and it was bland. The bread was two 5cmx2cm strips of pitta. The whole place smacked of ‘cant be bothered’ the main door to ladies loo remained open because there was no self closing mechanism which, and the cubicle door made a dreadful noise which could easily be sorted with wd40 but instead the paying dinners were treated to the sights and sounds of people’s twinklings, flushings and ablutions. The music was disjointed and tinny clearly it’s too much to sort a playlist on a tinny speaker but it seemed more for the staff anyway. The table was rocking because someone no one can be bothered fixing it. The whole experience was poor from start to finish. I will not be recommending this restaurant to any of my clients. Do yourself a favour and go...

I was unfortunately disappointed by my experience here. I was really looking forward to trying the Turkish cuisine but it was a fairly tasteless kebab (served with unusual tasting quinoa not rice, as advertised). The service was quite quick however one of the waitresses looked like she would rather be elsewhere, barely forcing a smile the whole time we were there which was a little off putting to say the least. Such a shame as this experience has put me off going back.

In response to the owners extremely inaccurate and untrue reply, I would just like to clarify that I absolutely was not rude to any member of staff in this establishment. I live locally and I have always supported all good local businesses. It’s extremely disappointing that you can no longer leave a constructive review about the quality of food and service without the ‘owner’ hitting back with a...

I am surprised at the positive comments for this place. The service was good but the food really let the place down.

We ordered the burek as a starter, which was clearly heated up in the microwave, with a lukewarm exterior and a molten cheese interior which burnt our mouths.

For mains I got the Cajun chicken enchilada whilst my girlfriend got the ottoman burger. The Cajun chicken enchilada was a mess of liquid and vegetables that were close to raw, with pieces of chicken that had clearly been heated up from frozen.

The ottoman burger was better, the lamb kofte and feta were decent, but the bun felt cheap and I would expect a bit better for the price to be honest. The best thing we had here were the fries and the coffee.

Maybe we came on a bad day or perhaps the Turkish cuisine here is where the restaurant excels, but unfortunately our experience...
