About Lux Turkish Restaurant
Lux Turkish Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant on Godwin Court in Swindon, where table service runs throughout the evening and groups often pre-book a table. The menu draws on Turkish tradition, and a cup of complimentary Turkish tea is offered with the meal. Cocktails are poured alongside the kitchen's output, and sharing platters work as a main course for groups of around four or five. A service charge is added to the bill. Pre-booked reservations are the usual way in.

“Nice food and bit expensive but worth the experience. Staff are nice but a bit rushed because of how busy they were. We went last Saturday night and it was lovely and reminded me of Turkish food from London”
- Anmol
“Absolutely lovely restaurant. Staff were so lovely and the owner was so hospitable and kind to us. Would recommend highly!”
- Robynne Hinkley
“Food is alright, service absolutely shocking. Gutted as was looking forward to visiting this place but it really lacks Turkish hospitality.”
- Laura Jones
“Went as a group of 5 and had a lovely evening. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We had starters mains and lots of wine and felt that the bill was very reasonable. Everyone loved their food and the lamb chops and garlic mushrooms were particularly good! Would go again.”

“We visited on a Tuesday night. No one to greet us at the door or entrance. Staff were a bit slow to acknowledge us and didn't look too happy. We were eventually seated. The interior is stunning and you could tell the owners have spent some serious money on the place. Service was average, we were served by different people throughout the evening. The food was really tasty albeit a bit pricey for Swindon. Would probably visit again for a special occasion or something. Thumbs down for adding a service charge! I would have tipped more but that is besides the point. 3/5 for me overall. Pros: Food was fresh and Tasty Interior feels up market and is very luxurious Complimentary Turkish Tea offered when I went to order a pot Cons: Service charge (we are not in the USA. This is Swindon) Service was Meh Bit Pricey for what it is I thought”
