We arrived in Durham for 2 days and had lunch here on the 1st day and it was fabulous. Good menu, great service and delicious moussaka and Sardines. We then booked for dinner the next night and weren't disappointed. Absolutely fantastic food, all so fresh and gorgeous wine too. Will definitely come back next time we're in Durham.

Call in on chance on a Sunday evening. Very pleased I did. Great selection of food. The service was excellent and staff very friendly. The location is great and right in the heart of Durham.

This was my second time visiting with my family and I really enjoyed it again.Great service, the decor is stunning and the food is really tasty. We had tuna and sea bass with a side of chips-reccomend a side. We shared the pistachio ice cream and baklava. Felt very full at end.Love the complimentary bread and turlkish delight- nice touch.It is pretty central to DurhamAlso we didnt book we were able to walk in.The toilets are boujix

Outstanding food, cooked toperfection. Personal Service. Lovely owner who took the time to have a conversation. No anonymity or standard, restaurant turn over time. We rarely have an opportunity to dine out away from a large family but when we do, there’s nowhere else we’d go, (this despite it being an hour’s journey for us.) Today we sat for four hours and despite being stuffed to the gills with our lunch Meze and Shish, had to take a share platter home for supper. The thought of leaving weeks between culinary delights was too much.
Quiet unassuming little restaurant, Monday afternoon a bit quiet, music not too loud, food excellent. Dropped my serviette and waitress supplied a fresh one 2nd to none service. ?

This place is my absolute favourite restaurant in Durham. So far every visit everything has been so tasty and always cooked to the same standard, as well as very speedy service. The two course lunch deal also makes it amazing value for money. I highly recommend the chicken shish, hummus, lamb kofte and the beetroot starter. The pinot grigio was also delicious!

Never been to Durham before so was unsure where to eat. Read good reviews about the Turkish Kitchen so thought we'd give it ago.Booking was very easy and reconfirmed 24hrs before which was reassuring.We arrived 15 mins early but it wasn't an issue, our table was ready.The service was really quick and the staff where friendly but not intrusive.The food was really tasty and the portion sizes where good. The Turkish Tea was great.The price was very reasonable.Overall we had a great authentic Turkish meal and a lovely dinning experience. We would recommend

I’ve eaten here several times with work colleagues. Each time we go the food is decent, but we always feel we are being rushed out of the restaurant as soon as we’ve had our main course (despite booking in advance), which spoils the atmosphere. I also like to end my meal with a decent Turkish coffee (which is poor quality here). I have given constructive feedback but the waiter and manager were both very defensive and rude. For these reasons I will not be back.
