About Mithras Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant
Mithras Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant on Unit 11-12 in Croydon, where reservations are required for a seat. The menu centres on grilled meats, with chicken and lamb shish skewers and combination kebab meals served with rice and salad. Turkish breakfast and lentil dishes appear alongside, and lamb features across several plates. Garlic and spicy sauces accompany the food, and the team guides each order through the menu choices. A drinks list runs through meals in the room. Dogs are welcome inside, so a meal here works for groups arriving together, four-legged members included.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers describe a friendly welcome and solid value, with several pointing to the food as the main draw, naming the Turkish breakfast, the lamb dishes, and the Lokma dessert as standout orders. Servers are repeatedly described as helpful and knowledgeable, and one diner highlights the "chilled drinks" as part of a relaxed, affordable evening. The lentil soup earns its own mention, with one long-time fan calling it tasty while reporting that tiny stone-like particles in the dish aggravated a kidney condition and caused a difficult night. A separate diner describes very small kebab portions for the price and later reports becoming ill after the meal, saying the response on the phone was dismissive. The pattern of the kitchen work is therefore sharply divided: several reviewers call the food excellent and worth recommending, while a small number describe serious concerns around preparation and portioning that color their experience.

“Very friendly environment, tasty foods and chilled drinks and their services are topnotch.... we enjoyed our selfs with just less than £50.”

“Been there a few times and always been a pleasant experience. But my recent visit I tried their new dish “Lokma” and that was fabulous! But overall, it’s a lovely place with friendly staff and service. I would recommend to anyone that listen s, at least try it once and you won’t be disappointed.”

“We have tried out this restaurant on a whim and we absolutely loved it! Would defiantly recommend anyone who loves good food and nice ambience!”

“I would like to leave feedback regarding the lentil dish I ordered. While eating, I noticed that from time to time it was crunchy, as if there were tiny stone-like particles inside. They looked very finely ground, so at first I did not pay much attention. However, after I got home, I experienced a severe kidney crisis. I have a 5 cm kidney stone, and the small particles in the lentils irritated it badly, which caused me intense pain and a very difficult evening. I want to kindly recommend that the lentils are checked and cleaned more carefully before cooking, to avoid any small stones ending up in the food. I normally enjoy this restaurant and the lentils were tasty, but the crunchy particles were concerning, and unfortunately they led to a serious health issue for me. Because of this experience, I will probably avoid ordering lentils again. Please be more careful during preparation, as this can affect customers with sensitive health conditions.”
