Customer Review Summary
Chicken shish is the dish reviewers return to most, described as well seasoned and light, with a lightly seasoned kebab that avoids the overwhelming spice some find elsewhere. It comes with a salad of more than lettuce and tomatoes and notably light rice. Close behind, diners mention the lamb shish, chicken kebab with bulgur rice and chips, and starters so good one reviewer ate most before thinking of a photo. Several call the lunch special good value, and a few praise the complimentary pita and portion sizes. Staff are widely described as friendly and attentive, though one reviewer says it took engaging with them first, and another found them a little eager to take the order late in the day. The one negative is a family who celebrated a son's driving test and called a server extremely rude, saying it ruined the atmosphere and that they would not return despite finding the food great. One regular says the food beats the other Turkish restaurants in town, and a visitor notes the free pita that arrived with the meal.

“Can not go wrong. Better food than the other turkish restaurants. Not as up market but good service generally. A regular”
- John Saunders
“Took my son here on Sunday to celebrate him passing his driving test. Even though the food was very nice, the service given by Devon was simply unacceptable. Extremely rude to my wife and I. The atmosphere in the restaurant was ruined by the rudeness by the server. However the food was overall great, but due to the poor service me and my family aren’t going to return since we feel disrespected.”

“Turkish Kitchen Hertford is a Turkish restaurant in the heart of the town, known for authentic cuisine and options to enjoy both in the dining room and as takeaway. The meats and the skewers or grilled dishes are very well prepared, with a good selection of meze, carefully made bread and flatbreads, and authentic Turkish desserts. Quality and product selection come first, and it shows immediately. I have just had lunch in the dining room at Turkish Kitchen Hertford and the experience was truly positive. The service is convenient, and the dishes are carefully prepared, with a level of quality you can feel right away. I ordered the Chicken Shish, and it was very tasty. The cooking was spot on, with a full and well balanced flavour that was not heavy. The dish came with rice and salad. This combination works really well because it lightens the meal and makes it a complete lunch without weighing you down. The spice level, which was absolutely normal, was perfect. It suits both people who enjoy bolder flavours and those who prefer a more natural taste. Overall, Turkish Kitchen Hertford is an excellent choice for lunch in the dining room. It offers authentic Turkish cuisine, a great main dish, and side dishes that are nicely matched. I would especially recommend it to anyone looking for a really good grilled chicken with fresh accompaniments. The staff are genuinely kind and very knowledgeable. There is a restroom inside, and it is accessible as well for people who need to use a wheelchair. Absolutely recommended. Enjoy your day.”

“Excellent food with very attentive staff and quick service. It's a pleasure to be there and enjoying the absolutely beautiful atmosphere as well.”

“Went here this afternoon for dinner and was warmly greeted by one of the waiters. The restaurant had a nice, convivial atmosphere - it was welcoming and relatively calm. Most importantly, the food. I ordered a portion of chicken kebab and lamb shish, with a side of bulgur rice and chips; needless to say that it tasted amazing! They also had a wide variety of food and beverages for people to choose from! Would definitely come again.”
