This is the second time we have been and it still felt like the first time, food was absolutely beautiful and the service was immaculate, will definitely become a regular.

We ate here between Christmas and New Year. The welcome was friendly despite the place being busy. The quality of the food was very, very good.

Fantastic cuisine and excellent service, I was in the area for work and wanting some freshly cooked food called in for dinner... was so good I was in the next morning for breakfast!

Felt rushed and pressured to order drinks and food. The food came quite fast, and it was average. Pide was a bit disappointing as lots of cheese but not much else. The waiter almost took the plate from my friend who didn't finish her meal! It has amazing reviews but I felt a bit disappointed with the experience. Shame.

Superb restaurant for a high quality evening meal. The atmosphere was vibrant and staff so friendly. The feta salad was best we'd ever had and the Shish kebab was so flavoursome and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!

Take away with family. Great menu and excellent food. We ordered two of the three starter sharers and then a variety of mains. All of which were delicious, the hummus is amazing, fresh salads, dips, kebabs were very good with great sides . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommend

Absolutely the best restaurant I've to in a long time. We ate here 2 nights and a breakfast too. Food was great, service second to none. Forgot to come in for pastries on our leaving day. Just have to come back.

Really nice setting upstairs, friendly and helpful staff and fabulous food. The mixed kebab was fab as was the rest of our meal. Would heartily recommend.

The Service of Aspava in Cockermouth was amazing however there isnt enough variety of food dishes on the menu. Along with this, The chicken iksendar kebab on the menu wasnt the greatest taste as at the bottom of the dish the flatbread was covered in the tomato sauce and tasted like a "ball of mush" in which another family member I went with agreed.
Best place to eat in cockermouth, staff are always so lovely and the food is always delicious. You never leave hungry or disappointed. Baklava lush

We came across this whilst looking for a coffee stop during a busy Saturday morning food fayre in September. Everywhere was busy but although we only wanted coffee we were made very welcome . Other diners were eating a late breakfast or lunch and the food looked amazing so we asked for a table for dinner. At night the place was buzzing , the decor warm and inviting but the food just the best Turkish cuisine we’ve ever eaten. Freshly cooked and homemade, we had watched the chef making the bread in the morning. Our starters were delicious, tender liver, fresh rich hummus with homemade bread, sucuk kuvarma, a spicy beef sausage and hallumi. The mains were stunning quality meats , super tender and perfectly cooked. Portions are generous and the salad and rice freshly cooked. This place is a real find and I’m really sorry it’s a 4 hour drive away from home for us as we would be regular diners. A popular find for locals as all of the tables were booked on the Saturday night. Unusually for a Turkish restaurant they also serve alcohol. We accompanied our food with draft beer and a crisp Sauvignon blanc. Aspava is a terrific restaurant , spotlessly clean and staffed with hard working friendly staff who obviously take a pride in their profession and establishment.We didn’t have room to sample the desserts but the homemade traditional pastries looked delicious. Certainly worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Received a warm welcome. Service and food was excellent. The staff couldn’t have been more friendlier or accommodating. First class from start to finish. The food was delicious and authentic as you would find in Turkey. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Turkish and Mediterranean food. Unfortunately we do not live in the area but if we are here again we will certainly visit them again. Just had to take some Baklava home with me :)

Top service and the food is great. The new venue is very busy even midweek, so make sure you book well in advance. I'd recommend everything and make sure you are hungry.
