Customer Review Summary
Lamb kofte is the dish reviewers name most, praised as incredible and recommended alongside hummus and sigara borek. Close behind are the chicken shish, described as tender, the lamb beyti, and the mixed meat platters, which diners call full of flavour and good for sharing. Homemade baklava, often brought out after the meal, draws repeated praise, and several single out the homemade lemonade and olives. Reviewers describe the staff as welcoming and helpful, and a few mention that bringing your own beer or wine is allowed. The main criticism comes from two reviewers. One found the jumbo platter bland, with plain rice and little meat, and felt it was poor value. Another left before eating after being told eating in carried an extra service charge that had not been mentioned when ordering, and said a staff member first told them to sit elsewhere because they were one person. One diner, by contrast, was allowed to nip out and fetch a forgotten wallet.

“One of if not the best Turkish spot in leicester, the lamb beyti meal was really flavourful and the falafel was really well cooked! Homemade baklava went down well after meal!”

“Mezze Mangal has quickly become my favourite Turkish spot in Leicester. The food is always fresh, beautifully cooked, and absolutely packed with flavour . The chicken shish is incredibly tender, and the mixed platters are perfect for sharing – you get a great variety of meats, all grilled to perfection . The portion sizes are generous, and they often bring out complimentary baklava and Turkish tea at the end of your meal, which is a lovely touch . The staff are friendly and attentive, and they're happy to help if you're new to Turkish cuisine . The restaurant has a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, and there's plenty of free parking outside . A couple of things to note: they don't take cards, so bring cash . Also, the menu prices on social media might be out of date, so expect to pay a little more . But honestly, the quality is worth it. Highly recommended.”

“10000/10 best Turkish in Leicester. I recommend the olives, Lamb kofte and chicken shish meals but everything is delicious. BYOB but also try the homemade lemonade”

“Terrible experience. Completely unprofessional. I ordered food and was asked if it was takeaway or eat in. I clearly said eat in. The restaurant was completely empty. When I went to sit down, a staff member told me to sit somewhere else because I was “only one person.” That alone was rude and unnecessary. When I pointed out another table, she suddenly said, “OK, OK, sit wherever you want.” Very poor attitude and no consistency. Then, after the order, I was told the price was wrong and that eating in costs £4 extra as a service charge. This was never mentioned before ordering. Adding extra charges after the fact is unacceptable and misleading. Because of this, I cancelled the order and left. Bad communication, bad service, and a complete lack of professionalism. I will not return and do not recommend this place at all.”

“Great food and service, would recommend lamb kofte, hummus and sigara borek. Fresh lemonade also 10/10”
