We ordered the chicken kebap as well as kopeoglu (highly recommend if you like yogurt-based dishes), hummus, and beef manti and everything was delicious! Friendly service and hours were helpful for a weeknight dinner.
We visited here on the opening night and are so glad to finally have a good Turkish restaurant nearby. The food was delicious, the meat was well marinated, the tapas was very fresh, and the baklava was exactly how it should be! The new decor in the restaurant is inviting and warm and the staff are friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to visit again!
Was looking for someone to eat whilst visiting the area. Stumbled across this gem by chance and we are so glad we did. The service and food were both amazing. Well worth a visit
WOW!! Amazing food, excellent attentive staff, extremely polite and helpful. Mussaka was good value, full of flavour, nice portion size, lamb shish was more than adequate plate size, cooked to perfection. Bread and dip was nice start, not too spicy but great kick with creamy dip to complement! Highly recommend, will deffo be visiting again soon!
Very lovely people great service all homemade traditional quality east food rly nice. One comment - Music bit too electro Eurotrance pop - traditional Turkish music or 70s Turkish disco would’ve been better vibes Frome is also v calm traditional - but this is just a small comment. Thankyou for lovely meal
We had an absolutely wonderful evening at the Turkish restaurant in Frome. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the owner and instantly felt relaxed in the cosy, beautifully decorated setting. The atmosphere was inviting, with just the right balance of authenticity and comfort. The food was exceptional – full of bold, fresh flavours and perfectly cooked. We started with a selection of hot and cold mezze, which were bursting with taste and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh made and prepared with real care. A real highlight was the Efes on draft – ice cold and crisp, it paired perfectly with the food and added to the authentic Turkish experience. All in all, a fantastic experience! Whether you're a fan of Turkish cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a real treat. Highly recommended!
Excellent food and service, from start to finish. Lovely to have the choice of a late lunch at 3pm. Good wine list, delicious Turkish coffee to finish with and Turkish delight.
One of the best restaurants in Frome and certainly one of the best Turkish restaurants around. This is my simplified review. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food was hot, it was filling and the presentation was excellent. We can vouch for the soft Turkish bread and dips, beautiful falafel, lovely stuffed vine leaves, tender lamb moussaka and chicken topkapi. Followed up by a steaming cup of tea and some baklava. Based on my experience of dining here, I would highly recommend it and can't wait for my next visit.
