Customer Review Summary
The complaints are proportionally heavy and mostly come from returning customers who say quality has slipped. Several describe small portions for the price, including a mixed shish with only a few small pieces per skewer. Others report dry chicken shish, a chicken doner that tasted steamed, a changed garlic sauce, soggy or half cooked chips, and chicken kofte with a third missing. One says recent deliveries had more chicken skin and fat than meat. One reviewer was offered a 15% discount on the next order and a collection and refund after the portion complaint, and was left with two slices of bread the day before.

“Very welcoming staff, serene atmosphere and decor, i loved the open air feel with the retractable roof. Beautifully prepared food, reasonably priced and great desserts. The Turkish tea is a very good grade loose leaf too, and the restaurant as well as facilities were immaculately clean. I'm very particular with where I dine but I couldn't fault Irmak in any way. Will definitely return and recommend!”

“Irmak used to be my go to for a kebab. So after not having ordered for a good 2 years at least. They were the first place that came to mind when deciding I wanted to order some lamb shish last night. Sadly they’ve upped their prices, changed their menu and the quality of food is nowhere near where it used to be. It’s £18 for a medium (seemed very on the small side in terms of portions) shish kebab with dry Turkish bread. A soggy chips- which you now have to order separately. Would I order again or give them another chance? Yes. But only if it wasn’t just me ordering alone. Also beware. If ordering on uber eats / just eat / Deliveroo. They’ll only let you order large size of everything. But if you order direct. You can choose your size, and not have to pay silly added fees.”

“Ordered for home delivery. This was our first time ordering from this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious. The shish lamb was tender, the chicken shish moist and the lamb kofte was well seasoned and easy to eat. The Turkish bread was good and the rice was not sticky. Delivery was prompt and the driver very pleasant. Would highly recommend.”

“In few words? Lower quantity, poor quality at the highest price. Never again! Just ordered today from them after a long break (I used to order frequently in the past). Totally different from what food taste used to be! Unsure if the chief or management changed recently, or just a rushed out the door food. Spent 35£ ordering Mix1 and chips with nuggets. Really don't worth it. The portion is on the smallest side (4-5 small pieces of chicken or lamb makes 1skewer). Feels more like a single person portion. Lamb kofte, chicken and lamb shish all taste the same now, no flavour, just herbs. Half coocked chips and nuggets in old oil, (the cheapest ones on the market). They are looking good in picture, pictures always lies.”
