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!

In my humble opinion this is the best kebab shop / takeaway I have ever visited. Once you've had a…read morekebab from The Caspian all others will pale into insignificance. The friendly staff will share a good bit of banter with you as you wait for your food to cook and the food is always worth the wait. The chilli sauce is nice and hot and the salad is always crisp and fresh. If you're out in Chester and you've only got enough money for your taxi home walk, and treat yourself to a Caspian kebab!

I left the inside of the store to escape the steam/smell of what I reckon was the fryer now that I think of it. The chicken kabob was ok, it was nice, my pal said. He would've preferred a pizza which we set out to do but where we wanted to go was closed and this place was known for their kebabs. I'd have what I had again.

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.

Can't fault either the food or the service at this restaurant. I've visited for brunch and dinner…read moremultiple times and have always eaten amazing food and received a very high level of service. Great cocktail menu as well as some well thought out nonalcoholic drinks which I appreciate. The building has two entrances and the inside is beautifully themed. Some stairs and no lift (to be expected in the older buildings in Chester) but there's access to the downstairs floor via the entrance from St Werburgh Street.

I've been to multiple branches of The Botanist throughout my travels and sadly this branch is…read moreprobably the worst I've been too, it's located in a good location close to Chester Cathedral in the city centre. The location is fairly small, it sadly doesn't have a lift meaning if you can't handle stairs there is only one low table on the ground floor, as most of it is high bar-style seating, to make matters worse this table is more like an outdoor bench as the bench-style backless seating can't be moved, which would make it hard if someone requires back-support or perhaps is a wheelchair user meaning it makes it hard to get to the table. I sat downstairs, they had no problem reserving the table for me which was reserved well in advance to make sure I got a table with a large stand on the table however it was really unpleasant being on the lower floor, I felt forgotten about and while the staff were friendly, it was frustrating having to feel like I had to go to the main bar to order and then to pay, to make matters worse I wasn't given a final bill which meant I was originally overcharged when trying to pay at the bar, luckily I'd noticed the price seemed a little high as they didn't knock my 40% off, despite it is an ongoing promotion at all Botanist locations (I've never had this problem before), if you prebook - now I know mistakes can happen but the fact I wasn't given my final bill/receipt makes me wonder if I was overcharged for anything else. I ordered my regular Botanist order, the Chicken and Chorizo kebab, again unlike every other location the staff didn't offer to pour the garlic butter on for me, now I have no problem doing it myself but I'm confused why the staff didn't offer when they offer at every other location. The chorizo I found to be chewy and virtually inedible, the onions were also bland and tasted raw, while I would have also liked a little bit more chicken. Not including the discount, I certainly don't think the service in general or the food quality warranted anywhere near the price and I was only happy to pay it due to the discount (after it was applied of course), while the decor is okay it also isn't unique and innovative if you'd have told me this wasn't a Botanist restauraunt even though it had multiple signs and the same menu, I probably would have believed you. 2* - A slightly generous rating given the circumstances but as the chicken was good quality and it is a nice place for drinks, while it certainly isn't for food in general.
