    Tasty food in reasonable price. We ate three times in two days. Chicken kabab platter and lamb steak platter were the best (7/10 EUR per platter if you convert the money from HUF). A small glass of Ayran was less than 1 EUR. The place is very reachable from Hungarian Parliament and Margaret Island. Recommended the place happily :).

    The oven baked pasta what can I say you have to try its that good. Also the calf doner kebab. All meats from the charcoal are great, these taste so good.

    I had lunch here today, ordered chicken doner plate. Fast and tasty, a large generous portion for a very reasonable price. A large spacious hall and tables outside. There is no alcohol on sale! Definitely recommend.

    Bad food. Portion of meat was small but beef was good. Food is not warm at all.. I think I should have taken away and warmed it at home… Except for meat, all vegetables, bread and rice were not fresh at all and some part of food or the whole restaurant smells like sweat of old men.. so recommend you to take away rather dining in. Overall, feeling after eating felt a bit disgusting due to food quality and sanitation..

    Ive been here a few times and the food has always been pretty good. Stopped in today and had a gyro, lentil soup and a side dish, eggplant with yogurt. And I have to say, it would be worth just coming in here for a plate of their eggplant with yogurt, a small plate (which is a lot) was only 600 Ft so about $2.00, simply amazing flavor!

    Delicious food! It's a nice Turkish place, with a lot of delicious food. The service It's "push your tray", you have to choose and the attendant will serve it to you, so you better be quick, because it's busy and they are not patient at all. Anyway, tasty food, decent place and good price, worth visiting.

    This was my very first Turkish buffet I've ever been. That was 7 years ago. Now everywhere I go, in different countries, I search for Turkish food. Never ever been to Turkey though. But the food is great and VERY cheap for its quality. I'm glad that it's still working after 7 years and I will certainly visit this place again.

  • 2/5 Ahsan S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a quick fast food type place. Turkish kebab / doner kebabs. I’m not sure what the hype is. Food is served quickly but taste wise is ok. There is nothing special about. Size wise ave portion which barely fills an adult. We had chicken diner kebab 2/5 for size. 3/5 for taste. 1300Ft. Had chicken kebab / both - 3800Ft. Once again taste wise and size 2.5/5 Had lamb kofta - 3800Ft. Same as above And lamb kebab - 3800Ft . Same as above Salad - 900 Ft (avoid). Not with it. They were out of lamb chops. Charged us 500Ft for boxes for take away. Ambience is good as they have a large hall and seating capacity. There seating / dine option is better as you get bigger serving sizes. Would I go there again. Prolly not. There r better kebab shops for cheaper prices in the city.

    One of my favourite halal Turkish restaurants in Budapest. The food taste great, the service is fast and staff are good. The price is reasonable, not too expensive. The place is clean, it has toilet, two levels of dining area and have air conditioner for hot summer. All in all, I have been to this place many times and never got bad experience. Totally recommended.

    My forever favorite Turkish restaurant, and I’ve been there a million times. The dishes I keep ordering are chicken sis kebab and Urfa Adana kebab with bulgur. Accompanied with an apple tea. It never disappoints.

    A reliable source of kebab and Turkish fast to dine in or to go. Prices are decent and most staff can speak English and quite friendly too. The kebabs are nice, but not a fan of their falafels because they are often cold and soggy. I'm sure they might be good when they are fresh from the frier. Their pizza bread is quite nice and filling, make sure they heat them for you, because they can be hard after been out in the display for a while. They also have a nice selection of cold appetizer section too. Overall a good kebab 🥙 to consider, especially during late hours.

  • 5/5 Jackson Kioko C. 2 years ago on Google
    Yes! Szeráj Turkish Restaurant is a place worthy visiting. The variety of Turkish delicious meals at this place is amazing! The prices are moderate, not too expensive, yet not too cheap!

  • 2/5 Muhammad I. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this so called turkish restaurant today and ordered their novelty dishes i.e., Lamb sis kebap and chicken kebap. First, the serving consists more than 50% of salad which we threw in trash. The portion of Naan is just enough for 2 bites. They don't add any sort of sauce so we had to consume it dry. Worst thing is upon asking for a sauce they provided chillies sauce which is totally incompatible with this kind of food. Spend your money wisely as this restaurant is only a hyped place.

  • 3/5 Fabien H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great but took two stars off as lentils soup is too salty. It is easy to add salt for folks' liking so what's the point in making it so salty?!?!?

  • 5/5 Gabriella P. 3 years ago on Google
    Alwqys a good choice. If not the best one!! Same quality, same turkish meals.

  • 1/5 R S G. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is a total mess. Staff is very impatient, rushing with the orders. Rude, they only understand you when they want to. No time to choose the food, no explanation whatsoever if you ask about the ingredients. The only reason we tried this place because very close to the Parliament and the Margaret Island. The tables are dirty, as the floor is sticky. The guy and the woman at the till extremely rude... I really don't understand why people visiting places like this! The food was cold (chips and gyros meat). The Fruit Soup was terrible sweet and tasted like custard not like a special soup. Overall expensive. For this amount of money people can find much better (or only better!) places. The toilet is in the middle of the restaurant downstairs (basement) and the whole restaurant smells urine. I won't visit this place again, never ever. Highly NOT recommend them.

  • 5/5 Naomie 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to grab a bite to eat ! My mum and I have gone twice to this place during our trip in Budapest. It’s affordable and the food is good with good portion sizes. The food is on display so we had to choose with our intuition (since we don’t speak a word of Hungarian) and every time the food was amazing !!

  • 4/5 Andreas T. 9 months ago on Google
    When it comes to good tasty Turkish, this is one of our first choice. The staff is usually great, but sometimes you end up with the odd rude Hungarian, but this is more an exception than the general rule, and even then, usually only in the first section of the serving area. Toilets are fairly clean considering the number of visitors this place has per day. Atmosphere is fairly average, but it's also not bad. Food is good and tasty, and, although the portions have either shrunk in size or increased in price this past year or so, they are fairly well priced.

  • 5/5 Insomniac 11 months ago on Google
    Very worth, about 6€ per plate. Nice taste. Recommend!!

  • 5/5 M K. 1 year ago on Google
    A self-service restaurant with fast and friendly service. Good selection. For just $5.35 I got a huge portion of gyros (plate option). You can choose the side dish (potato, rice etc) and meat (chicken etc). The food was fresh and tasty. I will visit again and try other dishes. The toilet was clean. Update: gyros with tea (just 1350 HUF) became my favourite food here 😊

  • 1/5 Hassan S. 8 months ago on Google
    Extremely bad second experience by all means, kindly save your hard earned money and go else where, second time I came today last time I bought a fish which was cold dry and a tiny size with 2 spoons of rice and this time I bought a Gyros plate which was 2700 and it was only salad and in with some amount of chicken sprinkled on it, like you need a microscope to find chicken and rice, staff is extremely rude, it’s bad just bad save your money rather make a better salad at home the eating Gyros here!!! Fail

  • 5/5 Antun S. 5 months ago on Google
    I particularly liked their fruit soup, bean soup, and the Greek salad.

  • 5/5 Andreea R. 6 months ago on Google
    These people don't play with portions. It's cheap and incredibly good. I had some chicken with cheese and tomatoes that practically melted in my mouth, and quite late at night, when you expect leftover food to be a bit dry. The staff was really nice and spoke English well.

  • 1/5 Beé M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It used to be the best Turkish restaurant in town. Recently, however, the food they are serving is inedible. Gyros bowl with fried pudding in my garden. In the gyros, the onion was soaked-dog-smelling, stomach-sore. They don’t give red cabbage for something. And that really threw up the gyro. The baked pudding had hairs and leftovers. That was the last time we ate here. (Original) Régen ez volt a legjobb török étterem a városban. Viszont az utobbi időben ehetetlen az étel amit kiadnak. Gyros tálat kertem sült pudinggal. A gyrosban a hagyma ázott-kutyaszagú volt, gyomoforgató. Nem adnak vöröskáposztát valamiért. Pedig az dobta fel a gyrost igazán. A sült pudingban hajszálak voltak illetve koszmaradékok. Ez volt az utolso hogy itt ettünk.

  • 2/5 Abdelghani K. 4 years ago on Google
    The prices are a little bit expensive if we compared with quality of service, the food I choose Turkish padlizsán rakott kaposzta was horrible I couldn't even eating the half was very oiled and with fried potatoes inside! the salad was with chicken chest I felt that wasn't washed on the taste but the vegetables was nice ,so I gave 2* The sweet tarts dessert was very delicious I felt every part inside ,was perfect I enjoyed eating it so deserve 5*

  • 5/5 T T. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious authentic various Turkish food in central Budapest. Nice cozy family atmosphere with 2 galleries where there is a child friendly space availability. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Anwer Ahsan K. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite and the most popular authentic Halal restaurant in Budapest. They have very quick service and the staff is very helpful. On weekends they have long queues. The food quality and variety is very good.

  • 4/5 Imre P. 5 years ago on Google
    Really good kabab, maybe they should give bigger and better bread. What I got wasn't fresh and just few pieces.

  • 5/5 Suzanna S. 3 years ago on Google
    Always the same good quality of delicious food and good service more than 20 years!!!

  • 5/5 A. C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nagyon nagy vendégtér és étel választék van, még sosem ettem rosszat itt. A kiszolgálás pörgős, mert mindig sokan vannak. Jó időben a kinti terasz is nagyon klassz, kilátással a Vígszínházra. :)

    Komolyan mondom a joghurtos padlizsántól az agyamat eldobom b+ minden egyes alkalommal lehidalok annyira fantasztikus :D Btw. miért a negatív kommentek vannak elöl? :( Én eddig bármit kipróbáltam, sosem volt csalódás.

    Foodwise is fine. However pigeons and roma travellers block outdoor tables at lunchtime.

  • 1/5 ADM D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) the gyros meat was often raw i had to wait more 10 minutes just don't give me disgusting. The gyros can only be baked on the rod ONE SIDE of the other only when they are cut down on the metal plate, so it is forbidden to immediately load the cut gyros into the pita, let it brown for 5-10 minutes on the metal plate. Thanks to tőkkür shukran (Original) a girosz hús sokszor nyers én volt hogy vártam inkább 10 percet csak ne nekem adják undoritó. A girosz amikor a rúdon sül csak az EGYIK FELE sül a másik csak amikor levágják lent a fém lapon tud, szóval tilos a levágott giroszt azonnal beletölteni a pitába, hagyni kell 5-10 percet a fém lapon is barnára sülni. Köszi tesekkür shukran

  • 1/5 farkas k. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went in today to buy dinner for the kids. I got a disgusting bowl, stumbling in the oil with the torilla. I was given inedible, unqualified foods. If it weren’t for the sick, I would have taken it back. (Original) Bementem ma a gyerekeknek vacsorát venni. Undorító tálat kaptam, a torillával együtt tocsogott az olajban. Ehetetlen, minősíthetetlen ételeket kaptam. Ha nem lennének betegek, visszavittem volna.

  • 1/5 Marian K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Yesterday I bought a gyrostal + baklava yesterday at 01.03. both were inedible. From 8pm there would be no curfew I would have taken the food back. The canteens have become inedible lately! You would get a minus star from me too if you could give one (Original) Tegnapi napon 01.03 este vásároltam gyrostálat + baklavát. mindkettő ehetettlen volt. 20.00 órától nem lenne kijárási tilalom visszavittem volna a kaját. Ehetettlen lett a kajátók az utóbbi időben! Tőlem is mínusz csillagot kapnátok ha lehetne olyat adni

  • 5/5 ilja C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great value for money and very tasty food with huge portions. I go there each time I visit Budapest, it’s my top pick in the city center. Friendly staff, you should definitely give it a try!

  • 5/5 Matlab G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Turkish restaurant among the ones i visited in Budapest so far. They have variety of meals. I loved Lamb kebab with side dishes. Reminded me the taste of local cuisine from my own country 🇦🇿 Definitely recommended!

  • 5/5 Elliott C. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best quality-price ratio food in Budapest, especially considering how close it is to the centre. Would highly recommend. Genuinely delicious food and has a local atmosphere that tourist restaurants tend to miss out on.

  • 5/5 Andrei P. 2 years ago on Google
    I am from Romania. I have been coming here every year for the past 10 years. They kept the quality of food at the top of the line. There are many varieties to choose from. Line is moving very fast especially if you buy from the street window. The guys there are moving so fast it is a show worth seeing. You must eat here if you visit Budapest!!!!

  • 5/5 Miroslav S. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty food with good value for the price. Went here for quick dinner after we couldn't decide where to eat. Decent portion size, tasty meat (we had chicken gyros plate), quick service (you take your own tray and move along the line). If you are looking for quick snack or even quick dinner, I would recommend this place 100%.
