    Went there for lunch with a friend. My friend ordered Coke which tasted aweful and she can’t finish it. We then waited almost one hour for our food to come, and that was after chasing several times. When the food finally arrived, the lamb chop was over cooked, with no flavor; the spicy rice is is bland and no spice, and the salad is also tasteless. Very disappointed after such a long and painful wait. Won’t be back here again.

    You cannot go wrong visiting this restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing, delicious, fresh and well prepared. The cocktail & drink menu is plentiful. The staff are very kind and welcoming. You receive a thorough great service and experience a great time from the moment you walk in the door. I highly recommend this eatery and will definitely be returning, with a few extra people too!

    Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Family owned. Cozy atmosphere and size. Food was good; we had one or two mishaps on the roasting but the majority of our food for a company of 10 was very good. They were happy to mix menu items to meet our requirements or needs which was helpful cause we had kids with us. We got discounts on the day, got help to take photos, and the staff were very helpful in general. We were there on father's day 2021 and we got gifts! They've got a bar with lots of variety, they've got toilets and a lunch menu in addition to the regular menu so you can stop by for lunch. Will definitely recommend a visit.

    What an absolutely incredible experience I had finding this random gem in Orpington when out with my mum on May 3rd bank holiday. This was before restrictions were lifted so we were seated outside but given blankets to wrap up in, and had the most amazing service from our waitress Karina! She was so attentive and just a star!! It was soooo windy but that didn’t dampen our experience whatsoever. We each had a managal combo plate (spicy chicken and lamb chops which were humongous) with bulgur wheat, spicy rice, and 2 types of salad. The home made bread was lush. Cooked to perfection and even given mint tea and baklava on the house after! Couldn’t recommend this place more and thank you Ozzy for stopping to chat with us after! And Karina for being such a genuine sweetheart when catering to us. Can’t wait to come back for my mums birthday, delicious food, fantastic prices, and fabulous staff!

    Couldn't give 0 stars otherwise it would of been, ended up walking out after over 50 minutes of waiting for our food! Everyone else was getting severed theirs before we did and they come in after us, no communication from the chef or managers poor young waitresses clearly aren't given training, one of them running around doing everything on her own overall disgusting service.

    We've lived in the area for some time and have often said we will take a meal in this restaurant as my wife is Egyptian and finds it difficult to get good quality middle eastern food. Me, my wife and two children made a point of eating in here this afternoon and we were so glad we did. We were served by a very polite and courteous young lady called "India" and I have to say that the rest of the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to helping out with the menu. This restaurant is a small but with a good spacious airy feel to it. We sat down to eat and and was served up some complementary bread and Houmas immediately. We then ordered a verity of meals, ranging from Mixed Chicken and Lamb shish Kababs, spicy rices, Spicy chicken wings and Chicken burger. We were served as I said earlier by the polite "India" and our meals were presented in a timely manor. Every meal was extremely tasty, well presented and of a good proportions. Every time we ordered extra things or drinks we were served straight away. I can't really say anything about this place which would be bad, so I'll just say this. Keep it up, thank you India for the great service and we'll be back very soon for some more of your delicious food. Thank you so much for a very pleasant afternoon.

    My partner and 1 went here for the 1st time today. We had chicken shish, salad, rice , lamb kebab, plus calamari . Really nice, well cooked and a very good price too. We were served by a very polite young lady ( cant recall her name , but had a piercing) . Definitely going back there. Might even have a cocktail this time

    My wife and I have always facied trying this restaurant however we also love Scott's pie shop which we always end up in when out in Orpington, however today we finally decided to go for it and try Taste of Turkish. This was a meal out to Celibate our 6th Wedding Anniversary and we weren't disappointed. We were greated by a friendly Young lady and seated promptly, a great choice of Turkish food was available and at a incredibly reasonable price. We opted for two mains with the choice of salads and rice with each. Sadly my favourite dish Adana Kebab wasn't available so I tried the Lamb Shish along with my wife. The food was fantastic and full of flavour and we both fully enjoyed our meals. The restaurant itself was very clean and tidy, the waitresses were well presented and extremely polite and the toilet were very clean indeed. We both throughly enjoyed our experience at Taste of Turkish and would definitely recommend to anyone who already likes or would like to try Turkish food.

    Good prices, great tasting quality food. Highly recommend chicken option. The milk fed lamb was soft and juicy but could do with a little bit of more seasoning and flavours. Overall a great place. If you have kids along, After the meal they get a lollipop 😍
