About Golden Horn Restaurant
Golden Horn Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant at 98 High St in the centre of Barnstaple. The kitchen cooks Turkish food, with lamb and chicken dishes on the menu. Among them is Ali Nazik, a dish of lamb over smoked aubergine and yoghurt, which gives lamb eaters an option built around a vegetable and dairy base. Chicken dishes sit alongside it for those who prefer poultry. Diners arriving by car will find the town centre car parks close by.

Reviewers most often praise the Turkish food as delicious and tasty, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. One diner tried the Ali Nazik on a recommendation, and another called the lamb the best they have eaten. A partner's chicken is described as tender and juicy, and one reviewer mentions good portions. Close behind is the staff, repeatedly described as friendly, professional, helpful and attentive, with several diners thanking the team directly. Both lunch and dinner visits earn praise.
