I purchased What I thought was a large donner kebab and small chips…read more What I got was less than a small kebab and inedible chips, they tasted disgusting so I threw them out. The kebab was only half filled with Kebab meat and the other half was filled with mostly lettuce and other bits of salad. There was NO MEAT whatsoever under the salad. The guy who served me obviously set out to play a joke, that is the only reason he could have done that. Avoid Meze like the plague.

Five of us ate here and not one of us was particularly happy…read more I had falafel and hummous together with a few other side dishes. The hummous was literally the worst I have ever tasted. It was very pale and had an overriding taste of chlorine! The falafel was very hard on the outside and almost flavourless. The people with me had various meat dishes. They weren't impressed with any of them. I would give this place a wide berth. If you're looking for Turkish/Eastern cuisine then try the Istanbul Barbecue on Brook Street. It's still just a glorified kebab shop but has far nicer food and staff.

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.

We booked late so could only get an early table-7pm. Although empty on arrival, the tables were…read morestill being set and service not forthcoming. There was no music until 8pm. Only after a waitress was prompted was our order taken, some 15 minutes after arriving. The starters arrived before the wine, the coffees before the desserts. If it wasn't for one exceptional waitress I'd have said the service was an absolute disgrace. The food was good although not that authentic. I wouldn't bother, Chester has better to offer just book in advance if a weekend.

I first visited here about 12 months ago when it first opened. I have since been back a number of…read moretimes. The food they serve here is obviously Turkish which means plenty of kebabs/grills and various dips etc. When I go here we usually share the mix starter which includes 6 dips and some lovely warm bread. This is enough for 2 as a decent snack or starter as we do. I have tried the doner Kebab and mixed grill here and you get plenty of meat. Most things are served with rice, bread and salad. Your plate is always piled high with decent quality food. It is ok value when you pay full price but I have a taste card so you get 50% off your food bill which makes it excellent value for money. For 2 people you can have a starter, main each and a drink for less than £15 if you have a taste card which is excellent. It is more like a café than a restaurant but they do serve beer which is good. Overall a very good experience.

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!
