    I ate here three days in a row while working in Letchworth. Terrific food and service. Also very good value for money with their special offer. Can't really fault the place, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Definitely a place to visit. Arrived at the start of service but it filled up quickly. Service was prompt and very efficient. Service was also attentive and friendly a real plus in my opinion. We had starters and the main deal (Sunday to Thursday I think). Halloumi and the Sausage starter were tasty and very well presented. The kebab and chops mains likewise. All dishes were well flavoured and the descriptions accurately described them. An excellent experience that was very reasonable in price. Service is not included and tips need to be cash not card so bear that in mind.

    Friendly staff and service. Put the sun shade down when we asked if we could eat outside. Food was very good. The vegetarian stew option was very tasty.

    We were a group of 36 people, we ordered our food, I was worried that the food would have been cooked in advance and so not as fresh. Let me tell you they got 36 starters and Mains out FRESH not a single order was wrong, the service was 10/10 the food was brilliant, the whole restaurant was so accommodating and friendly even let us sit and chill. Thank you for giving us a great eve

    Wonderful restaurant. Food is delicious, with quite a wide menu. Very comfortable, cosy but not cramped seating. Staff are lovely and prices are just right.

    Great meal really enjoyed by all 5 of our group. Super food, helpful, attentive and very pleasant staff. Just slightly let down by being presented with the wrong bill which was £30 more than ours should have been - mistakes happen of course (but I had to point it out) and it wouldn't stop me visiting again.

  • 5/5 Colin A. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful food, great service, lovely atmosphere and good prices as well. We will definitely be returning.

    I'd been wanting to go here for a while and unfortunately I am slightly disappointed in my experience. For me, Turkish Foo should take you on a flavourful journey, unfortunately I found the good quite ordinary. I had a selection of starters - the vine leaves (cold dish), a garlic sausage in a bell pepper and tomato sauce (hot dish), an aubergine dish and lambs liver. I enjoyed the sausage, the wrapped vine leaves were rather uneventful, the aubergine dish was a soggy salsa (best way to describe it), decent flavour, but not what I was expecting and the lambs liver was incredibly dry and quite bland. For mains I had the mixed grill (lamb cutlet, chicken shish, lamb shish and a kofta) with bulgar. The lamb cutlet was dry and bland, the chicken pieces dry, but a decent flavour, honestly the best part was the koftas, good flavour. For me personally, I would not go back as a first instinct, which is a pity, as I had such high expectations from hearing about the place.

    Quite simply the best place to eat in Letchworth I'd say, and I mean that literally. Never been disappointed and the food is always amazing. Their specials are also very good, if you're ever bored of the usual menu (which is unlikely but still). Staff are also lovely 🙂

    Great food, lovely staff, good prices. Will definitely come again.

  • 5/5 Shaun B. 9 months ago on Google
    I travel alot; That was one of the nicest dishes I've had. Mixed grill was a good portion and went down a treat. chilli sauce is nice on the side. The service is very kind and polite. I would definitely recommend. One to come back to if passing through again.

    Food was delicious and service very attentive. Wait staff we’re very accommodating of my friends vegan diet and made an alternative for her, even saying if there is anything she’d particularly like next time, to call ahead so they can order ingredients!

  • 5/5 A B. 1 year ago on Google
    Our lovely waitress Shai was extremely friendly and provided a great service! We were unsure of what type of rice to pick and the chef went over and beyond to provide a very small sample taste of the bulgur to us before deciding. The food was very tasty, really enjoyed the overall experience.

  • 5/5 Lynda E. 10 months ago on Google
    Had another wonderful lunch here. The staff are very friendly and the place has a lovely atmosphere. I will be honest and never quite know what I have ordered, but the meal always tastes delicious and the staff are there to help you make your decision.

  • 5/5 Daniel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere in here, friendly staff, brilliant food and for a good price. Will certainly be going back again when we're next in the area to try something else from the menu!

  • 5/5 Joan Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely lunch in the sunshine today. The Grapevine is our favourite Turkish restaurant for consistent quality of food and service. The portions are generous and great value for money

  • 5/5 Chris C. 11 months ago on Google
    A really lovely place to eat. They found room for us without a reservation and couldn't have made us more welcome. Lovely bunch of people and the food was great too, some lovely traditional and some slightly fusion dishes all cooked very well. Decent portions for a nice comfortable meal as a decent price. Would highly recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this restaurant on many occasions and have never been able to fault anything, the staff are extremely welcoming and the food is fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this style of food.

  • 5/5 Alistair G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here fairly early on a Friday evening as a walk in. We were made to feel very welcome immediately including my nearly 3 year old. Food was great and frankly better than I had in Turkey earlier in the year. Service throughout the meal was great with a nice atmosphere developing as the restaurant got busier. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

    This place went way beyond our already excellent expectations. As out-of-towners, it was recommended by a local. The staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful. We had a giant plate of cold meze to start, and then delicious chicken shish and kofte for main. We (party of three friends) ate so much because it was simply too good to leave. It was clean, a lovely atmosphere, and the great food and excellent staff with a great approach to customer service. I wholeheartedly recommend. About £25pp with wine which is exceedingly reasonable. We left a hearty, well-deserved tip for the lovely team.

    Been to this restaurant several times now and it never fails to impress. The staff are a great bunch and very friendly. The menu is lovely and there's a great choice of food to choose from. There's a friendly atmosphere and plenty of seating, never had to book but it can get busy. Very conveniently located in the town so easy to get to and there plenty of nearby parking.

  • 5/5 Jill F. 1 year ago on Google
