  “Zara Mangal is hands down the best Turkish restaurant in town. We've been coming here for years, and the food is just as good now as it was when we first started visiting. The meat is always cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. The chicken is incredibly juicy and tender, honestly some of the best I've ever had. The rice is full of flavour, and the salad is always fresh with a lovely tangy dressing. The complimentary dips are delicious and go so well with the warm bread. We've tried lots of dishes over the years and have never been disappointed. Some of our favourites are the börek, the soup, and the lahmacun. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The manager is a really nice bloke who goes out of his way to make sure everything is okay. The team behind the counter always give you a warm welcome and are incredibly hospitable. The restaurant is always clean, including the toilets, and there's plenty of seating. It's also well air-conditioned, which makes it comfortable on warmer days. There's parking outside, and it's only a short walk from the Atria car park, so it's very convenient. Overall, I'd highly recommend Zara Mangal to anyone looking for authentic Turkish food. The food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous, and the service always makes you feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a place we keep coming back to.”

  “I discovered this little hidden gem! From the outside it doesnt look great, looks like a typical kebab shop, however for me what matters is service n food and both were spot on! N bonus was the decent prices for the portions! Once you ignore the external decor of the shop! You'll be amazed at quality of food”

  “Absolutely fabulous. We were staying in the area for 2 nights on a short trip into London to watch a show we popped into a pub near by and the resurant was recommend by a few people we were talking too and wow what a place. Food was stunning we had the Lamb chops portion size was big and the most amazing taste. We has a bottle of wine also from Turkey which was also excellent as was a very lovely lady Ece Yuney who looked after us so well. Could not fault anything even the price. Thank you all for a great experience may need to come back to the area just for a meal with you”

  “Another fantastic meal at Zara Mangal! We ordered the mixed grill to share and it did not disappoint. The platter was packed with a delicious variety of freshly grilled meats, all cooked to perfection. The quality and quantity for the price make it exceptional value. Tasty, reliable, and satisfying. I’ll definitely be back again soon!”

  “It was busy this evening with football fans dropping in for a pre match meal. Staff were efficient, polite and accommodating ensuring no-one waited long for a table. I ordered mixed shish (chicken and lamb) and a glass of ayran. It came with a complimentary starter and a glass of tea at the end. All very tasty and fresh, price £18.”

  “We visited this lovely restaurant on 11 of January 2026 evening around 5, I booked by the phone, and they kept the table. We were as a group of five — one adult and four kids — to celebrate my 9-year-old son’s birthday, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. My kids were absolutely amazed by the food, which says a lot because children usually don’t notice details like presentation or quality. One of the boys even said he had never seen such a big burger in his life! But it wasn’t just the size — everything was outstanding: the sauces were delicious, the bread was perfect, the chicken was properly grilled, and the food looked beautiful on the plate. The taste matched the presentation perfectly. The portions were incredibly generous. Even though we arrived hungry, we couldn’t finish everything, so I happily asked for takeaway boxes to bring the rest home. What impressed us the most, though, was the staff. Every single person was welcoming, kind, and genuinely friendly. When I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday and that I had brought a cake, they immediately offered to help. ❤️❤️❤️❤️They put candles on the cake and surprised us with a little celebration — coming out together, clapping, and creating such a joyful moment. It was truly touching.🎊🍰🙏🌹🎉 Because of this small but wonderful restaurant, with its amazing food and lovely people, it turned into one of the best birthday celebrations we’ve ever had. We were really, really impressed. Thank you so much — we will definitely be back! ❤️♥️♥️”

  “Easily one of the most hidden treasures! If you were just walking by your impression would be ‘just another kebab shop’. However… wander inside to the restaurant where you are greeted by all the staff and welcomed inside. The staff are very friendly, have a good sense of humour and genuinely make you feel welcome. If you need more sauce, more bread or an extra napkin, not a problem! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the phrase ‘Lovely Jubbly’, instantly setting a homely feel 😁 Ok, the important bit, the food. Oh the food! I’ve become a big fan of Turkish food recently and this did not disappoint. From the first little plate of hummus and dips that left my mouth watering so much I swear I dribbled to the MAHOOSIVE special mixed main that I swear doubled in size with every delicious mouthful, I wasn’t left wanting! Our party had a variety of dishes, each as succulent as the other. The satisfaction was as high as the prices were low, surprisingly for the exceptional quality of the food. Do yourself a favour, don’t walk on by. Stop in and tuck in, just don’t have any follow on plans as you’ll absolutely need to find a comfortable spot to enjoy a considerable food coma afterwards. Expectations exceeded!!!!”

  “Fantastic fresh food! I had the Isikander chicken shish which was amazing! Butter with tomato and chicken shish, such a brilliant combination. Very filling. The service was excellent from the young ladies tending to customers. The salad that they served was amazing also. I found out that they put pomegranate juice on the salad with lemon and olive oil to give it an amazing kick. will be trying this at home. The food here is halal.”
