Antalya Turkish Kitchen 3-5 Narborough Road, Leicester LE3 0LE

"Absolutely different food experience. For main we ordered a family grill and lamb chops...everything came with a super generous quantity of rice. All meze dishes were amazing. Food tasted so so fresh. Staffs were very polite and pleasing. A very good quality time spent with family and conversation stopped after food arrived as all started to enjoy the food :-) One thing was we had to pay cash for which we had to go out and an ATM, which was very close by."

"I don't usually sit down to write reviews, but felt somewhat compelled to after such a fantastic experience. We went to eat at this amazing restaurant and all had a wonderful experience. The restaurant benefits from a large visible on site charcoal grill and Turkish Tandir which forms part of their "Open Kitchen" style set up for an authentic cuisine experience. The decor throughout really takes one back...to Old Antalya - literally in time. In addition to this, the friendly staff were such a delight.... a Turkish Delight to say the least! The restaurant is CLEAN which is very important, plus the open Kitchen adds to the cleanliness feel of their restaurant as the cooking is done in front of you. Good quality HMC food with generous portions. To be honest many places we've eaten at we've enjoyed the food but had upset stomaches the next day, but Antalya Mezze is clean and quality. I'd highly recommend their Chicken Shish, Lamb Shish, Spicy Chicken Shish, Adana Kebab, Chicken Beyti, Chicken Wings & Meze. They also spoiled us with complimentary Turkish bread which went well with our Meze cold starters, highly recommend Patlican Soslu (fried aubergine in some typa mild tomato sauce)!!! They serve many types of beverages - we tried the non-alcoholic Mojito which was soaked in mint leaves, and what a refreshing one it was! If this was our local restaurant, we would be making regular visits here for sure. To finish our meal off, we went for a chocolate fudge cake with ice cream, sprinked with crushed pistachios. Words cannot do justice to the taste, full of richness, crumbly but also soft, the blend of a nice sponge cake with ice cream always drops well. They didn't do English tea, however they had other alternatives such as Earl Grey, Turkish coffee (which the presentation was more fascinating than the drink itself) and Turkish tea was also an option which went down well. Kids enjoyed it, never actually seen them all gobble up so much which says a lot. This restaurant benefits from a conveniently located prayer room mainly used for staff and sisters as their is a mosque nearby. Whudu facility in toilet area which also had a lota! Lota? Yes lota, those who know, know. And those who don't.... well wait until lockdown. Its those finishing touches that make a restaurant stand out from the rest. Great all round experience from start to being seen out by their amazing staff with greets and smiles all round! Well done guys, keep the good work up. If this is what Antalya was all about, I'll save myself a plane journey and come straight to yours! Easy 5*, actually 6*."

"One of the best Turkish places in Leicester! Be sure to check it out absolutely delicious food. Very friendly service, staff are warm and welcoming. Good variety of options available including a kid's menu. I ordered the spicy chicken and Adana combo, portion was decent and we spent £39.50 between 3 people! So quite reasonable. Turkish tea served with Turkish delight on the house. They even accommodated to our parda requirement & a corner table on a busy night so thank you. Definitely recommend."

"The waiter/manager greeted us upon arrival and welcomed us in which made us feel extremely comfortable he then went to set up an area for us to be seated. Customer service is always really important and these lot smashed it with that! All 3 waiters who served us were absolutely amazing! Friendly and very accommodating! Food on point loved the ambience can not fault this restaurant! Thank you very much for an amazing experience we definitely will be back again ♥️"
