About Mavi Ruya - Turkish Bar & Grill

Customer Review Summary
Grilled meats draw the most praise at this Turkish grill, from a mixed kebab of lamb shish, chicken shish, Adana kebab, lamb rib and lamb chop to a sharing platter described as piled high with perfectly grilled meats. Close behind are the starters, including mixed meze, garlic mushrooms and dips with breads, plus baklava with Turkish tea to finish. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. One reviewer suggests sitting outside beside the river. The caveats are specific. One diner found too much sauce and not enough meat on starters and mains and was unsure about returning, while a returning guest noted a single complimentary starter for a table of six and kunefe presented differently than before. Even so, one party found the platter plenty for five and took some home.

“Mavi Ruya was an overall great experience! My parents and I have been to Turkey, and we honestly found the food here to be just as good, if not better, than the food in Turkey. Our server, Fatih, was great as well. He gave us excellent recommendations and accommodated us amazingly. If it’s not to cold out, I definelty recommend sitting outside as it offered a great ambiance with great nature and a flowing river beside you as you eat. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want some real, authentic Turkish food in Sheffield!”

“Do not go anywhere else for a Turkish meal in Sheffield. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I had the garlic mushrooms to start and the rest of my party had the mixed Meze. Then, as you can see, we had the platter which was plenty for five of us and we ended up taking some home as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want excellent food in a lovely setting by a river.”

“The staff were great, atmosphere fantastic, I thought too much sauce and not enough meat on starters and mains, lamb tender. I enjoyed it but I’m not sure I’d return. Worth a try though.”

“What an incredible restaurant. This is absolutely a destination all in itself. We were very well looked after by Leo and the staff for my birthday celebrations. The food was exquisite and has set the bar for Turkish food in my eyes. This is without a doubt, a Sheffield gem that we are incredibly lucky to have in the city. Make sure you book as soon as you can, you absolutely won't regret it.”
