Customer Review Summary
Lamb is the most repeated draw at Nazar, with diners singling out the lamb ribs and lamb chops, and one pairing the ribs with a large Adana kebab, all described as full of flavour and seasoned to perfection. Close behind are the starters, notably the creamy garlic mushrooms and calamari, and desserts, where the cheesecake and baklava with ice cream earn praise alongside Turkish tea. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as friendly and helpful, and several mention a waiter arranging a Turkish salad that was not on the menu, or a mini cake and candle for a birthday. The caveats are specific. One diner found the seafood pasta mushy and apparently reheated, with poor-quality seafood for the price, while another felt service was poor because dishes arrived at different times and complimentary bread was charged for once automatically refilled. One reviewer wished for a bit more Turkish culture in the setting. Several still say they will return, and one finished with a birthday lunch where the chef made a salad to order.

“Eric and Nick made our night even better. Helped us to decide what to eat and even made my new favourite drink when I asked for a surprise. The food is amazing and the staff are friendly and always happy to help.”

“We had such a wonderful experience, and we would especially like to thank Nicole for her outstanding service. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. We were celebrating my mum’s 60th birthday, and Nicole made it extra special by surprising her with a mini cake, a candle, and birthday music. It truly made her smile and created a beautiful memory for our family. Everything was perfect, the food, the atmosphere, and especially the exceptional service. Nicole went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Nicole, for making our day so special!”
- Fantastic Finishing
“Fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant was spotless, modern, and had a really welcoming atmosphere. For starters, we had the calamari and the creamy garlic mushrooms, and both were absolutely delicious. For our mains, I had the large Adana kebab and my girlfriend had the lamb ribs. Everything was cooked to perfection, full of flavour, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Turkish food in Cambridge. Thank you for a lovely meal!”
