Quick info
About Zara Turkish Restaurant
Zara Turkish Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant at 43 Cambridge St in Wellingborough, where kebabs are cooked on a charcoal grill. The mixed kebab comes from that grill, and the menu also includes grilled chicken kofte and a yogurt special chicken served with rice, alongside lamb, salads and Ottoman-inspired dishes. The dining room is large, and the restaurant offers private venue hire for birthdays, christenings and corporate events, so a party can book the space for itself. For groups eating together, a big platter is served, with starters arriving before the hot food. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. Turkish Efe beer is available to drink with the meal.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the charcoal-grilled meats, from the chicken kofte, described as tender, to a mixed kebab grill with large portions. Close behind are the yogurt special chicken, served with tasty rice, and lamb with salads, while one diner says Turkish Efe beer paired well with the food. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, one reviewer notes they are kind to children, and the room is described as warm, spacious and laid back. A few find the prices more than reasonable for the quantity, though one calls the alcohol a bit expensive. The complaints are about timing. One party with children reports a long gap between starters and the hot dishes from a big platter, and says the manager offered no apology. Another reviewer says a delivery order arrived very late, stone cold and hard, and had to be replaced with food from elsewhere.

“We visited on a Saturday night and for some unknown reason, it was very quiet! The food was great, service was friendly and prices were more than reasonable considering the quality, quantity and presentation of the food. We'll be back in the future 😊”

“Unfortunately this was our first time trying and the food was an hour and a half late from the expected delivery time and all food arrived stone cold and hard. We had to order from somewhere else at 9.30pm at night. A shame as the reviews said the food was good so we were excited to try it, but it was a waste of £60 as we couldn’t even eat any of it and had to order from elsewhere after.”
