    We had in house recommendations.. can't visit, so thought we'd order online. Order was supposed to be delivered within an hour... then an hour and half. Then, after two hours, they just made it up. Girl on the phone kept hanging up. "It was on its way" "Driver didn't return for it" "It'll be with you in 10 mins" "Look outside your door" 2+ hours later, we asked where it was, and if not here in 5 mins, we want a refund. The girls response... "well, you ordered by Just Eat... it's not easy to get a refund from them" The delivery finally turned up just after 9pm... more than 2 3/4 hours later than booked. The delivery guy said he turned up when needed. Who knows what went on. .. but REALLY safe to say, never ordering from here again. Food wasn't even worth mentioning. Main was cold, starters all thrown together in one box. We normally go with Ocean Wave... sorry we didn't tonight.

    Food leaked and cold, restaurant offered to collect our food, reheat and redeliver. This is a huge NO NO... I have never received food in worse condition than this. Just eat were helpful! Restaurant useless! Here's our 9.50 starter 😔

    Every time we order for delivery it takes multiple calls and over 2 hours for delivery. Absolutely dreadful. Food is OK but do NOT order delivery!

    Awful. Dreadful Service. Extremely slow. No atmosphere, certainly not a Turkish restaurant. Food mediocre. Salad clearly tossed out of a pre pack from the supermarket (this is not a Turkish salad). Do not visit this restaurant.

    4 of us arrived for our booked table at 6.30 pm. Waited until 8.15 for one of the main meals to arrive. They were too busy dealing with take-away meals to serve the customers in the restaurant. Given one star as it looks like you can’t give zero.

    Not worth the 2 hour 20 minute wait. Ordered at 5.20pm. Delivery expected between 6.40 and 7pm. Rocked up 7.40pm. Ton of rice, hardly any veg and an empty section in each container. Chips underdone. Chicken overdone. Nothing hot. 2 stars because staff were nice when we called twice (though was a bit 'just turning your corner now, love') and the hummus and bread were good. Won't go back

    Always happy to go to the Amara. Lamb chops exceptional. All food cooked well and very tasty. A lovely atmosphere. Good night out.

    I visited for the first time and the food was unreal! I felt like I was back in Turkey. The staff were so lovely. I will be back for my birthday next week 😃

    Awful. Be prepared to wait over an hour for your meal. Waitress on her phone at the bar, wasn't interested in serving us food or drinks. Don't waste your time and hard earned cash at this restaurant.

  • 1/5 Daniel Al S. 1 year ago on Google
    Most likely the worst Turkish restaurant I’ve been to in the North West. Poor food quality, low value for money, and the delivery driver had an attitude problem. Never again. Didn’t even finish our food.

  • 3/5 debbie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was lovely however service was poor tonight. I think its because they are busy doing takeaway orders. Staff busy doing orders and lost sight of the fact that customers were in the restaurant . Nobody checked did we need more drinks, was food okay etc. Asked for baklava after about 20 minutes it still had not arrived. On checking we were told the person who served it had taken a delivery out. Customers eating in should take priority . Focus on either restaurant or takeaways but you can't do both well.

    Honest and genuine review: We really wanted this to be a good experience of us supporting a local restaurant but unfortunately it was very disappointing. Not due to the two young servers, who tried their best, or the brightly lit space, uncomfortable chairs, or even the food! The problem was the owners/management who didn't make any attempt to connect with their restaurant customers and didn't have the skills or understanding to notice delays, empty glasses or lack or music. Instead they relyed on their young under-trained staff to manage the front of house experience of the customers. It didn't work. After placing our order we waited 30 minutes for three (cold) starters, which were very tasty. Then, a lengthy wait for our main courses and one didn't arrive, they'd forgotten it! We had to leave the table to go and ask for more drinks at the bar. Throughout the night the two young servers seemed pretty busy bringing food, taking plates and drinks to the 4 or 5 tables whilst the owners/management (4 of them) weren't present at all. Perhaps their primary focus is on the take away business which is fine, but why have a restaurant if you have no interest or experience in hospitality? It's a real shame because with their current lack of vision this business might not last, despite their nice food.

    It's been a while since we last visited and I don't know why! The food is of a consistent high standard, cooked to perfection over hot coals and the accompanying rice and salad add to the experience. The staff are pleasant and I think my only gripe would be the loos, they really could do with a makeover xx

    Lovely food however the delivery times are shocking ... waited over 2 hours for a delivery , not just a one off either .. such a shame as this is the last time I will be ordering due to this

  • 1/5 Layn C. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered food waited 1hr for it plated are food out went too dip r bread in the hummus and came across a black hair in it. It put us completely off r whole meal we rang too have music played down the phone too us. We then rang back and got told they would be back with a refund. Another hour went by so we rang too see what was going on. For a girl too laugh down the phone at us and put the phone down. Absolutely disgusting dirty and vile.

    Excelent eating experience! We ordered Amara Special and fish of the day.... both of them great taste,well cooked. Regarding dessert it has sent us straight to Heaven.The mixture of turkish taste of baklava and the flavoured ice cream it was fantastic! Lovely,friendly staff made us feel like being home! Nice atmosphere! We strongly recommend Amara restaurant! Well done!!!

    It's a pity you can't 'award' no star's as the service was atrocious. My Wife and I booked a table for 7:30 last night. The waiters were very young with one waiter wearing black tracksuit bottoms and regularly serving food with his thumb inside the bowl. My Wife's first drink was served 10 minutes after mine. We waited 55 minutes for the starter to be served. Each drink was taking 15 minutes to be served and we had to remind them that we had ordered each time. With no sign of our main course being served we left after one and a half hours. There didn't seem to be anybody in authority and no organisation. When we stated we were leaving all the staff just stood staring blankly. No apology, no explanation.... Nothing! Buying a takeaway from next door and eating it in our car would have been a far more enjoyable experience than dining at Amara.
