The portions are humongous, service is quick and friendly and I can't remember any other time I wanted to lick fingers after having a meal!! I will definitely be back! One small drawback - you can't make reservation online, but don't let it stop you, the meal is definitely worth the effort

I have wanted to go to Elif since it opened as it smells so darn good!! You can smell it a few…read morestreets away and it always smells so delicious!! Last night I finally went there with a friend. We went in on a Saturday night on the off chance there was a free table. The restaurant was obviously busy but they accommodated us. We were shown to our table, presented with menus and our drinks order was taken. We both ordered a Karisik, which has a mixture of chicken, lamb chops, Sis and Adana. When it arrived it looked amazing. It also came with some bread and a side salad which was delicious in itself. The meat was cooked to perfection and every mouthful was amazing. Even the rice was perfectly cooked and delicious. The toilets are small. The ladies toilet is a single disabled toilet and the men's toilet is a single toilet. The toilet was clean, tidy, and had a variety of toiletries to use. The only negative thing I can say is that the waiter didn't come over after our meals were served to check that everything was OK, but the restaurant was full to capacity so we can forgive that. This was the nicest kebab type dish I have ever had and the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. I will definitely be going back.

These guys are great, They have only been open about 6 months and I have visited a few times in…read morethis time. Food is cooked over a charcoal grill and boy can you taste and smell it not to mention the fact they cook it in front of you. Meat is locally sourced and all the food tastes great. On this occasion I went for a mixed grill, 2 lamb chops, a kofta kebab, and 4 boned chicken wings, served with rice, a side salad and warmed bread. Prices are very reasonable I paid about £15 for the meal and boy did it fill me up. In addition to that the staff are great, very polite and well organised. The only negative things I have to say are that the salad was badly dressed very acidic and not much balance to the dressing. I would also prefer a better beer choice but that's just me being pedantic.

This is a great Turkish spot and I think it's unfair to judge it as 'just' a kebab house. The food…read morewe had was spot on. We shared a couple of starters. The grilled halloumi did what it said on the tin and was yummy and squidgy. We also ordered the spinach with yogurt dip which was really tasty and had a lovely texture. The mains were also good. Don's chicken thighs were copious but slightly over cooked and a bit on the bland side. But the Adana Kebab was perfect and very tasty. The stuffed aubergine was also a good veggie option. Everything came with white rice and salad. The portions were enormous. Two of us boxed up our leftovers to take home. The guys working there are friendly and the service was spot on. Definitely would come here again for a meal!

Hello mates, first of all this place is very mediocre as most of my family said from this place…read more First of all, we got the margarita pizza and it was decently good. I was very hungry from traveling all day seeing the Beatles sites so I ate it anyway, but it was very mediocre. It tasted like Chuck E. Cheese pizza quite frankly, my brother got the americana pizza. It had pepperoni on it. He said it tasted junk but that wasn't the end of the line my other brother got the vegetarian pizza he described it as frozen. He didn't like the pizza because it tasted too dehydrated. It did not have wet sauce. The pizza stayed completely intact. If you held it completely upside down, the toppings were like glued on, and they didn't really have a particular taste. Everything just kind of tasted extra chewy, but without any sort of spice, we tried the different sauces in order to make it taste a bit better and I have to say that adding the tomato sauce on top did help to Live in it a bit, but it really still fell short of something worth paying for it to sit down restaurant. My mother got lamb kebab. She described it as good and it was all right so nothing really crazy if you wanna get a bite I think you should go somewhere else personally but I hope you enjoyed my review. Cheers!

If I'm ever back in Liverpool, I'll definitely be returning! The wait staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant was quite busy but there was no wait. Extremely nice dining experience! Highly recommended!

Word to the wise - if you want tahini, order it as an extra, you can't order it with a kebab, online at least. Edit As thanks for a review I left yesterday bemoaning separate delivery (so no soggy bread) and no tahini, they gave me a free kebab ready wrapped with a load of tahini on it. This place is truly exceptional, and has a customer for life in this house.
