  “We had a fantastic time at the Turkish Kitchen to celebrate my Mum’s 80th Birthday with our family. Thank you so much to Izmet and Said for looking after us, we were a large party of 33 and we really appreciate how attentive you were the whole time, ensuring that everyone had exactly what they wanted, checking and adapting dishes for allergies, making sure everyone had drinks and serving the food at the perfect time. Everyone loved the food, it was amazing! So much choice, we all shared huge platters with a variety of meats and starters. I’m so glad we chose to meet and celebrate at the Turkish Kitchen, service and attention and food service quality all superb! Highly recommend and special touches for celebrating birthdays and events. Thank you so so much! 🙏”

  “Had an absolutely lovely time at this place for my work colleagues birthday celebration. The food is excellent! Very generous portion sizes and lots of bread with dips. My only piece of advice is to go straight for the main course. The starters were lovely( so tasty good) its just that I didn't get to finish my tasty dish due to being far too full. 🙃 id be delighted to go again.”

  “If I could give minus stars I would! A disappointing experience at an “establishment” pthat claims to represent authentic hospitality. I visited this restaurant expecting a warm, welcoming Turkish dining experience, but unfortunately what I witnessed was the complete opposite. During what should have been a pleasant family birthday meal, I was deeply uncomfortable observing the way staff members — particularly younger female employees — were spoken to and treated during their shifts. The atmosphere behind the scenes appeared extremely unprofessional. Staff were publicly reprimanded, spoken to aggressively, and treated with a level of disrespect that no workplace should tolerate. Watching employees being pressured and criticised while trying to do their jobs was uncomfortable, especially in front of paying customers. I was also disappointed by what appeared to be poor management standards. When attempting to raise concerns and speak with a manager, I was simply told that they were “busy”, leaving the impression that customer concerns were not a priority. Food hygiene was another major concern. During my visit, I found a blonde hair in my pasta, which immediately raised questions about kitchen cleanliness and quality control. For a restaurant presenting itself as an authentic dining establishment, basic food safety standards should be non-negotiable. The cleanliness of the dining area also left a lot to be desired. Tables appeared poorly maintained, with a lack of attention to detail that affected the overall experience. A restaurant should not only serve food — it should provide an environment where customers feel comfortable and valued. It is extremely disappointing to see a place that promotes authenticity fall short in the areas that matter most: respect, professionalism, hygiene, and customer care. Good restaurants are built not only on food, but on how they treat both their guests and their staff. For anyone looking for a relaxed meal and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, I would unfortunately suggest looking elsewhere like Wetherspoons 2 mins up the road.”

  “This is always on my top list. If you want meat grilled, cooked to perfection this is the place to be. They also have platters to share with family and friends. One of the best around Peterborough ❤️😘”

  “Everything was excellent. Lamb chops and ribs main course was perfect. Calimari starter was excellent. We were in a group of 33 people, who all ordered when we sat down, i.e. not a set menu for all, yet all of the food and drink was served swiftly and no errors. Be proud of yourselves Turkish Kitchen, you are a wonderful restaurant!”

  “I came in for food on Saturday 30/6/26, I was expecting the atmosphere to be welcoming and positive, but I was met with an extremely rude and negative waitress, not sure what her name was but she tall white skin and dark hair, constantly rolling her eyes and made us feel like we were not welcome. She seemed very angry with customers and other staff. Very disappointing as we thought we were gonna have a nice time and a nice meal but she changed that very quickly with her attitude. It is not good for an establishment to hire such horrible people that cannot understand customer service. Very very disappointed. Everyone else was lovely though good on them that they can put up with such a negative character.”

  “What can I say - first time visiting yesterday and we were not disappointed at all. Firstly the atmosphere was probably the best I have experienced in a restaurant for a number of years. The food and service was exceptional. Will definitely be back!”

  “1 star - Repeat offenders. Zero accountability. Absolute shambles. This is the second time this restaurant has completely let us down as a large group, and I am posting this with photos as evidence so others can see exactly what we walked into. At Christmas, we arrived for our Christmas party only to find they had triple-booked our table. A large group of us left standing at the bar for an hour and a half. They discounted the bill, we gave them the benefit of the doubt, and we moved on. That was our mistake. We returned with a confirmed reservation for 16 people at 8pm last night. We arrived on time, ready to sit down for a meal, and were told they no longer had our table and that they “don’t always honour reservations.” A restaurant that openly admits reservations are optional. No warning call, no apology, nothing. As you can see from the photos, the place was absolutely rammed with no space anywhere - yet not one person thought to pick up the phone before we all made our way there. We were eventually seated at 8:20pm - 20 minutes after our reservation time. Small mercies, but that is not the point. The point is that 16 people turned up to a confirmed booking for a birthday and were told at the door it meant nothing. The lack of empathy throughout was staggering. Not one member of staff showed any genuine concern for what they had put us through. When we finally did eat, the food was okay for the price but nothing special. Certainly not worth the evening we had endured to get to it. Then came the bill. Despite everything that had happened, a service charge had been added without question. On top of that, items we had ordered but never received were still on there, and we had to go through the bill line by line to get them removed. At that point in the evening, it felt like the final insult. This is not a one-off bad night. This is a pattern. If you are planning a group meal here, go elsewhere. They will take your booking, give your table away, charge you for food that never arrives, and feel absolutely no responsibility for any of it. We will not be returning.”

  “Quality of food is top notch! We went for sharing platter and every piece of meat was soft, well seasoned and delicious. Service on point, no had to wait long for drinks of food despite full house and 30 ppl waiting on the door. Worth waiting on the doors!”
