Not the place to go to if your hungry on a Saturday night. When we were seated, 3 other groups…read morecame in after us a party of 2, 4 and 7. After waiting literally 20 mins at that point, I had to speak up and ask if someone was going to take our drink order (after the other tables received their food, I even offered to go and get the drinks myself). So 40 mins later someone finally took our food order but in their defense they did justify our bill and gave us hummus and our drinks on the house. The staff were very nice and apologetic which stopped us from walking out 20 mins in. If you have patience, then you should go because the food is real good.

This restaurant was absolutely AMAZING!! Not only was the staff accommodating when we ordered and…read moredouble checking ingredients, but they were prompt in clearing away dishes and keeping the tables tidy for us. They got food and drinks out quickly, worked well as a team throughout our visit, and each dish was beautifully prepared. The atmosphere had us wanting to stay for hours; the decor was eye-catching from every view and they offered live entertainment! They had a live singer the night we were there; he matched the overall vibe of the restaurant and wasn't overbearing during our dinner. I would love to come back soon:)

This restaurant has recently had a refurb and the interior looks even more stunning. Only problem…read morenow is that due to changing local council regulations, it's nigh on impossible to park near the restaurant. Saying that, there are a few "official" parking spots in front of the restaurant and if you get lucky enough, you can go in and treat yourself to the usual high standard of Turkish cuisine. Prices seem to have edged up slightly but they still represent excellent value for money. My advice is that, if you are going for lunch, skip breakfast, if you are going for dinner, skip both breakfast and lunch because the portion sizes are very generous. About £20 pp inc VAT ex service, without booze.

Mmmmm nom nom nom nom nom is how I like to describe my experience at Dalyan. Dalyan was formerly…read moreknown as Turkuaz, but it recently changed new owners. The quality and delivery of Turkish cuisine is consistently the same. I really like to go on Sunday lunch because you can get a three course meal for two for only £19. Please see the pictures I took and added to see what you can get in the deal. We got a delicious cold mezze appetizer with fresh baked bread. It was to die for. Followed with a mixed meat selection with pilaf rice and a yogurt and spicy dipping sauces. It was probably the best meal I've had at Dalyan/Turkuaz. My favorite so far. It came with fresh salad, tomatoes, pickled cabbage and carrots. For desert we were served fresh fruit, an assortment of honey dew melon, oranges, and kiwi and two baklavas. It was delicious. I was struggling to finish all three courses, but thoroughly enjoyed myself. The waiter is awesome because he helped us chose our lunch and helped us get the most for our money and he suggested the special because it came with the most food and on top of that it was delicious! I can't wait to go to Dalyan again. I highly suggest it!

We live near Newmarket and have been searching for a place worth dining for several months. The…read morefood here is delicious and the staff are charming. Our waiter let us taste several wines before we chose. However, everything on the menu is priced about 2-3£ more than comparable places in Cambridge. This makes for a slightly more expensive dinner and hinders us from making it a regular place. But we definitely enjoyed it!

For special occasions we always make our pilgrimage (Ziyaret) to our favourite Turkish restaurant…read more This time it was for my partners birthday (which one I daren't mention) so a table was booked a few weeks ago because of the pandemic and to make sure. I mentioned, at the time of booking online, of this fact. Huseyin was his usual perfect host with the traditional hand spray before anything. He restricted bookings to 4 tables a night to follow coronavirus precautions. We wondered how they had coped during this pandemic but, as he said, they did take-away as soon as it was allowed. All I can say is, it worked. This fantastic restaurant was still here and thriving, thank goodness. The service hadn't changed, nothing is too much for them. There is NEVER a rush. As for the food, delicious. A bottle of good Turkish red wine takes us back to that Turquoise Coast. With bread and wonderful dips. A yoghurt dip and the other a biting chilli dip that I will have to pinch the recipe. We love it. Chicken kebab with all the trimmings for my partner and the chefs special of Creamy Chicken Guvec for me. Small pieces of slow cooked chicken in the chefs cream sauce with mushrooms, asparagus, onions and peppers. That dish is 'to die for'. So filling though. Finishing off with coffee, medium sweet Turkish for me. As if that wasn't enough, out of the kitchen came a plate of cake, with candle, and ice cream for my partners birthday with a bunch of flowers. Everyone singing Happy birthday. That brought a few tears to her eyes. A wonderful thought, and I must thank you for that, it made the evening special. What made it really special was seeing Gizem, Huseyins wife. That wonderful beaming smile of hers was accentuated by the fact that a new waiter was in the offing in a few months time. So pleased for them but we couldn't give them hugs. They know, so they were virtual. A fab couple. Still the best Turkish restaurant in the area, and in my estimation outside of Turkey. Trust me, if you are in the area, give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Look at the reviews!!!!!

Great find!…read more Everything was fresh / cooked to order. We enjoyed Hummus, Kisir and Cacik as appetizers. For our main, we had Chicken Shish, Adana Kofte and Grilled King Prawns.
