Ayla Turkish Kitchen

Ayla truly deserves a visit and in my case a second one! Staff is extremely friendly, kind and generous. I had a lamb shish, with salad and rice and it was delicious, the meat tender and tasty due to a good marinade. One of the best I have ever had. The portions are very generous and I was offered a starter and sweet in the end. I don't usually like baklava as I find it too sweet, however the baklava at Ayla's are not simply the syrup-soaked kind.

Visited Central Restaurant, last night, with friends and family. Thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine (starters and main course). Excellent range of choice and very tasty. The host was only too pleased to cater for the varied needs, taste wise, of our group. The ambience was spot on, given we were meeting after a long time due to C-19 restrictions. The restaurant and staff had all the necessary H&S precautions in place and the service matched the high quality of food / choice.

I received an amazing service when I ate here 2 days ago! Did not disappoint at all. I had Iskender kebab which was the tastiest dish I’ve ever eaten at a Turkish restaurant. The garden at the back is a huge addition, I haven’t been to a restaurant with an outdoor garden before so this is very well thought! Great staff, amazing food, can’t go wrong..

We visited last week (early June ‘21) and were very impressed, firstly with the service from one of the partners Ali, who was extremely welcoming and attentive, then with the food which was truly delicious. Ali explained he was short staffed that day but it didn’t feel a problem as the timing of food servings were still reasonable. I had the excellent Ezmeli Lamb Kebab. You could tell how freshly prepped it was. Really made the difference. My wife had the chicken Alla Cream, which also really hit the spot. The meal was enjoyed in their terraced garden to the rear, a lovely enclosed and pleasant environment for our dining experience.
