About Atesh Turkish Restaurant (Croydon)

Atesh Turkish Restaurant serves Turkish cooking at 235-241 High St in Croydon, and it keeps a private room for group bookings that seats parties of around 25. That room gives birthday parties and larger gatherings a space of their own. The menu pairs lamb chops with chicken shish as mains, and hummus with bread opens the meal. A weekday lunch menu runs alongside the main one. Tables are walk-in, so no reservation is needed for a regular meal. Cocktails are on offer too, including a piña colada.

Good to know

Customer Review Summary

Grilled meat draws the most praise, with reviewers singling out chicken shish, chicken thighs and lamb described as flavorful and tender, plus a platter with nicely seasoned lamb chops. Starters of hummus with bread, sucuk and helim get a mention, along with cocktails such as pina colada. Service is mostly described as welcoming, friendly and accommodating. A group of 25 and a birthday party in the private room both report helpful, well organized staff, and one host was allowed to bring their own decorations. The complaints are fewer but specific. One lunch diner found the portion on the shy side, another found the lamb chops smaller than expected, and a few say the prices run on the dearer side. Two reviewers found service unwelcoming, one describing a male manager who kept looking across their table. A family celebrating a daughter's 18th birthday was brought out a chocolate cake.

    “We love coming to Atesh. I proposed Atesh for us to meet our good family friends and they loved it just as much as we do. We had 2 waiters and Ashlan was really lovely and so helpful. The food was so much we couldn’t even finish it. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.”

    “Came here for lunch and was ok. The service was a bit unwelcoming but wasn't awful. The restaurant was empty so I can't really judge the atmosphere, it feels like it can be quite lively at night. I ordered the chicken thighs and it was actually quite tasty! I felt the portion size was on the shy side but was a good quality meal. I just feel when paying £20 for lunch I expect a bit more of a better experience, and nothing is really leaving me wanting to visit again. They do have a lunch menu on weekdays with a cheaper price.”

    “We visited this Turkish restaurant as a group of 25 people, and everything was excellent from start to finish. The atmosphere was great, the drinks were fantastic, and the food was delicious. The lamb and chicken were especially flavorful, tender, and cooked perfectly. A special thank you to our server, Ash. Despite serving a large group, he was professional, attentive, friendly, and incredibly well organized. He clearly takes pride in his work, and his confidence and skill made our dining experience even better. Outstanding service—we’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!”
