  “I had a very touching experience at Lezzet Turkish Kitchen. I had travelled from London to meet some guests who unfortunately couldn'tmake it. While waiting, I ordered a tea and sat there for a while. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and when I went to pay, they told me not to worry about the tea. It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant a lot in that moment. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel at home despite being far from it. Thank you for your kindness it truly didn’t go unnoticed.”

  “Food was amazing, chicken was delicious (chicken sizi). Falafel with hummus was OK, not my favourite. Ordered the calamari as starters was absolutely delicious (highly recommend). Table service was good, atmosphere was a nice vibe. Bit loud for my preference. The only downside of it was when we were having our coffee at the end, I was hearing a manager yell and scream at a staff member next to us which wasn't professional at all. And one waiter inappropriately touched my partner which was highly and completely inappropriate!!! So I would watch out for that and get that assessed. For the price it was a decent-ish price for what we ordered.”

  “We just had the best dinner at this restaurant, the food was exceptional. We are visiting from Australia and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the great service. The waiter recommended a Turkish red wine which was fantastic.”

  “The restaurant had a lovely and relaxed atmosphere with a good selection of Turkish dishes on the menu. We ordered the Adana kebab, Ali Nazik, and a mixed meze plate. Everything was tasty and nicely prepared, with decent portion sizes as well. They also serve raki, which made the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, it’s a nice spot for anyone wanting to try Turkish food in a calm and comfortable setting”

  “Went to Lezzet Turkish Restaurant on Friday evening with my friend. The place was busy, even at 6pm, staff were friendly and welcoming and checked on us a few times during our time there. The restaurant was clean, warm and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious, all came out piping hot and the flavours were amazing. Wine went down a treat. We will definitely be back.”

  “I had the worst dining experience at Lezzet Restaurant in Cardiff. I originally chose this restaurant because I wanted to bring my family to try Turkish food for the first time. What attracted me was seeing, through the window, that other customers were served Turkish tea after their meal, which felt like a special part of Turkish hospitality. I thought it would be a nice experience for my family. As we were not very hungry, we only ordered a lahmacun and lamb ribs. The presentation looked good, but unfortunately the lamb ribs did not seem marinated at all and felt more like they were prepared just to look appealing. Compared with similar Turkish restaurants on City Road, Lezzet’s portions were smaller, while each dish was around £2 to £3 more expensive. Although that was disappointing, I could still understand it, as the restaurant is located in Cardiff city centre. However, the most unpleasant part of the experience was the service. After we ordered our two dishes, not a single member of staff came to ask whether we needed anything. What bothered me most was that as soon as we finished eating, they quickly came to clear our plates and gave us the bill, while completely ignoring the Turkish tea that other tables had received after their meal. This was the main reason I had chosen to bring my family there in the first place, because I saw other customers enjoying that traditional after-meal tea and wanted my family to experience that part of Turkish restaurant culture as well. Instead, the way we were treated made me feel as though we were being told, “You have not spent much, so please leave quickly.” I understand that the restaurant was becoming busier at that time, but that does not justify making customers feel ignored or even discriminated against. When I later asked the staff member at the till whether we were also supposed to receive Turkish tea, she simply replied, “Do you want one?” I said yes, because it is something Turkish restaurants are known for, and I had clearly seen it being served to other tables. She then said that it is only offered sometimes and that the staff were too busy. What made this worse was seeing that other tables appeared to be receiving much warmer and more attentive service. It gave me the impression that because my table had ordered less food, we were treated as less important and rushed out so the table could be given to the next customers. I am very disappointed by this experience. I will certainly not return to this restaurant, and I will not recommend it to anyone I know.”

  “We had such a lovely experience at Lazzet. The service is always warm and welcoming, and any small issues are handled so quickly and professionally it really makes a difference. A special thank you to Deniz, who kindly helped me choose an alternative meal when the lamb dish was unavailable. He went the extra mile and even brought us a complimentary shot as an apology, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s this level of hospitality that keeps us coming back. Lazzet is quickly becoming one of our favourite spots, and we’ll definitely be returning again soon. We really appreciate you Deniz and the team at Lazzet!!”

  “Tried the Sultan’s Feast at Lezzet Turkish Kitchen — 4 courses for £33.95 and honestly great value. Cold meze with freshly baked bread was a standout, and the hot meze didn’t disappoint either. Went for the mixed grill for mains — tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly with no dryness at all. Finished with baklava and ice cream, which hit the spot. Visited during Eid so it was packed — service slowed at times, but completely understandable given the occasion. A solid choice in the city centre if you’re after good Mediterranean flavours.”

  “Booked in here for food before going to a concert. On arrival we were taken to our seats and give a drinks and food menu. The waiter had great knowledge of both and directed us to the set menu the sultanas feast which we ordered and we was not disappointed. The experience was not rushed either whilst in these times most places want you out in 2hrs. The star of the show though was the food and the cost at the end was really reasonable coming in at under £100 for a 4 course meal and a very good bottle of red wine.”
