Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently single out the mix grill and iskender kebab alongside hot mezze like lahmacun, sigara boregi and köfte as standouts, with the lamb ribs, adana kofte and hummus topped with meat also drawing repeated praise; the Turkish breakfast, especially the menemen and continuously refilled Turkish tea, wins its own following, and the chilli margarita gets a specific mention among the cocktails. Several reviewers call out the free mezze offered before the meal and note the food arrives quickly, generously portioned and fresh, with one noting the tabbouleh was merely okay. The decor, described variously as dark green and charcoal toned or 1920s style, comes up often as part of a warm, cosy setting suited to both family visits and date nights. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly and attentive, though one diner felt staff sped up the meal by watching tables too closely. Several mention returning on a second or third visit, and one recounts celebrating a birthday there with the whole table looked after by name.

“Very tasty Turkish food.. Hummus is delish. Very professional staff and congratulations to chef Salma for this nice restaurant.”

“The staff were warm and welcoming. The Turkish breakfast was quite good, with perfectly sized portions. The menemen was especially tasty, and the Turkish tea was continuously refilled. The ambience is good. Special thanks to the owners and the staff. Please keep up this level of quality.”
- Mahsa Rahmani
“Very cosy and luxury place at the same time. Food was AMAZING. It was our first visit and we enjoyed very much. We ordered lamb ribs and adana kofte for the main and it was great. All foods very fresh, smell very nice and fresh. Try the humus (with meat on top of it), very delicious. Also the Burek was perfect. Taboule salad was okay. They bring some mezze for free which taste wonderful. Cery clean and nice people. Merci!”

“We had a fantastic experience at RENAS Restaurant & would highly recommend it. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious Turkish dishes, with something to suit everyone. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. There was also a good children's menu, making it a great choice for families as well as couples looking for a more romantic dining experience. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly, welcoming & genuinely chatty, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout our visit. Nothing felt rushed, & we were made to feel valued as customers. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with stylish dark green, pink, and charcoal tones that give it a modern yet cosy feel. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or for a date night, the setting works perfectly. There is also outdoor seating available, which is a lovely option during warmer weather. Overall, RENAS combines great food, excellent service & a beautiful atmosphere. We'll definitely be returning and would happily give it 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
