About Tulip Authentic Turkish Cafe
In Swindon, Tulip Authentic Turkish Cafe is a family-owned Turkish cafe at 41 Havelock St, built around Turkish breakfast. The breakfast menu includes a kids' version for younger diners, and an omelette is also on offer. For something savoury later in the meal, the lentil soup comes with bread and pickles. Drinks include Turkish tea and Turkish coffee, which sit alongside the cafe's homemade desserts. The kitchen cooks its food in house, so the dishes on the table are made on site.

Customer Review Summary
Soup draws the most mentions. One reviewer praises the lentil soup served with bread and pickles, and another came in just for soup for a two-year-old. Close behind is breakfast. One family ordered the Gourmet Turkish breakfast and a kids breakfast, and another paired a Turkish coffee with an omelette. Homemade desserts and the tea also earn praise, with two reviewers calling the tea nice. Diners describe delicious food, big portions and friendly service from the family owners, and one says the menu offered plenty they had never tried before. Travellers on a long drive stopped in and said they would be regulars if local, and one reviewer sat outside to people watch. The most detailed account comes from a parent staying in a hotel, who says staff offered to cook food they had brought themselves so it could be taken away for the child, then gave free soup and a dessert.
