Taste of Turkey — Restaurant in South Ribble

First time ordering food from here but based on the very positive reviews I thought I would give it a try. I ordered takeaway to collect and they were very quick with the order and it was ready when I turned up. I ordered the mixed meze hot starter and the mixed grill for one. First of all I have to say teh flavour and cooking of teh food especially the mixed grill meats was very good. Really tasty and ever mouthful. My only negative (and this is only mentioned as I hope the restaurant takes note and makes some changes) is that the period sizes were on the small side. In ordering the mixed starter (most expensive starter) and the mixed grill which again was fairly expensive I assumed that I would have plenty of food to go at. However I have to say the portion sizes were pretty small and below what I expected. One point for example is on the menu for the mixed grill it says you get lamb chops (I.e more than 1) but there was only 1 chop and it was very small. The amount of meat in total for what is a mixed grill seemed small. Even the bulgur pilaf which was very tasty but the amount was small and this is a very cheap product so I was disappointed. I did eat every last bit of the food as I said it was very tasty but the truth is I was still hungry once I had finished and has to go looking for more food in the kitchen at home! So overall well made and very tasty food but the portion sizes are quite small which means I ended up disappointed after...

We had read the reviews and were really keen to find out for ourselves how good this restaurant is.

I booked over messenger quickly and the restaurant was easy to find with parking very close.

From beginning to end the staff were just lovely. They were friendly, helpful and genuine, being happy to answer any questions or even show us the Turkish oven in the kitchen!

The food did not disappoint. From complimentary turkish bread and dips at the start through delicious starters and mains to amazing home made desserts and Turkish tea it was wonderful.

All the food was freshly made and was very authentic. The portions were very good sizes and the meat was absolutely delicious. The only very small thing missing for us was the lack of fish on the main meals. However there is so much choice we found plenty to order.

This is a brilliant, friendly restaurant run by lovely people with amazing food. We will definitely be back to try the Sunday...

I was looking for somewhere to celebrate out wedding anniversary when BOOM! I found this gem. It's the first genuine Turkish restaurant we have found in the UK - Turkish in its welcome, its atmosphere and, especially, its food. Chef patron Hakan has cooked all over the world but it's clear his heart is still at home because his short but well-chosen menu showcases some of the best Turkish dishes, from crisp fresh sigara borek (cheese stuffed pastries) and gloriously fresh ezme to perfectly tender lamb cutlets cooked on the ocak (indoor charcoal grill) and moreish bulgur pilav. There's a decent list of Turkish wines and lovely touches like the Turkish coffee and lokum to finish the meal. While service is gentle and polite by Hakan's charming wife Gul. My husband is Turkish and my father-in-law is a Turkish chef of many years standing so believe me, we know what we are talking about. This place is a real find and we will definitely...
