Excellent service and pretty good prices. The grilled meat is always tender and well cooked. Lovely stuff and very helpful and willing to help whenever needed. Complimentary tea and baklava from the house in the end!!!

L. D.

Best middle Eastern grill house in Cardiff, fact! Incredible food, very quick service and friendly staff. Great menu with plenty of choices even for kids. Very decent prices also.

Went here last night with my best friends and boyfriend for the first time! Was really looking to try Turkish food and my friend had recommended the place! The staff were very friendly and inviting as well as helpful! We were seated quickly (had a reservation) and in total there was 7. Complimentary fresh bread and delicious dips! The starters we ordered came very quickly which was brilliant! I had ordered Halloumi Cheese which was amazing. There was a slight mix up of my order but the waitress handled it perfectly and was so kind. The mains also came at a great pace and they all looked lush! I had ordered the Lamb Donar with rice and salad! All dishes were cleared away fantastically too! Not rushed but just right. At the end, we were given complimentary Turkish Tea and Baklava (Turkish desert). Overall, I would absolutely recommend and come back soon :)

B. A.

Good food, good price and great service. They give bread and dips on the house and after the meal they also offer Turkish tea and baklava. On the down side, my partner didn't find it as flavoursome as expected and they don't give tap water. Water costs £1.50 for small bottle or £4 for large.

T.

Lovely food, calm atmosphere and always fresh. I have been in a few times over the past 4 years and haven't been disappointed yet! The İncik is lovely! The servers are great, really attentive and we did not keep us waiting. Coffee and tea is a must, I'll definitely be back.

What a hidden GEM! I'm not one to often go out of my comfort zone when it comes to food. I know what I like and try to stick to it to avoid disappointment in life. However the wife was on a mission to find a small cafe whereby we could have a coffee and maybe share an appetizer or starter. I was put off by most of the menu as I didn't understand it but was willing to try some chicken. We were swiftly seated in a very well established restaurant and upon seeing the menu and pictures of the food and the food being served to our neighbouring guests I was intrigued. The service was exceptionally efficient and friendly. The food however was outstanding!! We were given a platter of olives, salsa and a cheese dip which was amazing and when our food arrived it knocked the socks off many of the high end restaurants that we have attended at a fraction of the price. I have since recommended it to others and cannot stress enough how much I loved this place!!

F. A.

Authentic food, great value and top service. We have been going through Cardiff, and searched of good Turkish place and Saray came up as one of the top restaurants. Top restaurant indeed!!! The menu has a good variety of authentic Turkish hot and cold mezze. All topped up with good value sharing platters. Food is very delicious! Some Turkish restaurants provide the bigger lamb chops which are more meaty but these ones here were the thin ones, however still tasty. Of course as always with free Turkish tea and bakalwa. Most of all, it has a massive prayer room. See pictures attached. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.

Y. A.

Best place for this type of cuisine in Cardiff. The lamb is the best in Cardiff for flavour. The owner and staff are very hospitable. Definitely worth a visit. Our go to for nights out.

g. j.

Awesome food , we had a platter for 4 people,did not dissapoint, plenty of food and would recommend to any meat lover, 10 out of 10 😁😁

C. J.

I knew it would be a good experience when the place was packed on a Tuesday, and the wait for a table was 20 minutes. Amazing grilled meats. The lamb chops were to die for. Succulent and tender. The complimentary bread and dips are also equally delicious. Also a nice gesture with complimentary after-meal baklava and Turkish tea. The only con I would say was, they only make a mental note of who is waiting, don't write names down like most places do. When it was our turn to be seated, the hostess seemed to forget and tried to seat the couple after us, but they were honest enough to speak up and say we were waiting first.

J. G.

A hidden gem on City Road. Shop front may give the perception of being small but it is much larger once you enter as the building extends towards the back. Ample sitting room with option to accommodate couples or groups. Nice selection on the menu and a chance to enjoy some authentic Turkish dishes. Staff was engaging and provided great service. Food prices were very reasonable and portions were generous. I attended as part of a group and everyone enjoyed their meals and would go again. I know I intend to. Only negative to add is parking is space on City Road so recommend taxi to venue or park in nearby streets and be prepared to walk to venue.

D. O.

Fantastic food and good service. Very disappointing that they no longer offer tap water. This feels like a very basic thing for them not to do. (And strange as complimentary bread, tea and, baklava is always offered) Nevertheless a most enjoyable meal and I am sure I will be back.

J. W.

What a wonderful find, had never visited a Turkish restaurant before and this was a brilliant experience. The service was excellent they couldn't do enough for you and were very polite, we were greeted with complimentary bread and dips which was lovely. Our main meals were full of flavour and so fresh. We were then surprised to be asked if we would like a desert and tea also on the house - incredible value for money.

P. B.

Fabulous food.. Welcoming, friendly staff, fast service.. Faultless.. The platter for two could easily have fed three, which is why we brought home two boxes of leftovers.. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return 5*

T. K.

Friendly and polite staff. I had the grilled half chicken with chips and rice, was very tasty however the rice was quite plain, probably go for double portion of chips or salad instead of the rice next time. Overall good experience, would recommend.

L. J.

A must visit for Turkish food! The price, the portions and the quality of the food were all spot on. The meat wasn’t fatty and tasted great. Lovely complimentary bread and dips as well as a small tea and baklava for dessert. Really thoughtful of them and really set them aside from other places. The service was very on point and we weren’t waiting around trying to order our next course or get the bill. Staff were also lovely and professional, I would 100% go back.

L. M.

Superb quality food, excellent service. We were given complimentary dips and basket of bread before our mains. Then more complimentary tea and baklava after. Chicken casserole and chicken shish were delicious. The only issue is the lack of parking

M. S. R.

We want at lunchtime and the restaurant was full the food was very tasty and the service was quick nice atmosphere

I. H.

Absolutely loved the food, great service and friendly staff. The food was very nice! Definitely will go again!

S. L.

Really tasty food and good value! 1st time going there and really impressed.

d.

Food was nice indeed. Very delicious.. Drinks prices are a bit too high though. At the end Baklava with green tea or Turkish tea was fabulous.

S. K.

Stunning food , proper quality great portions. The only downside is the staff stood there in gangs watching over you. And the price of a can of coke is nearly £2.50 Apart from that all good 👍🏻

M. A.

Freshly prepared, deliciously cooked tasty meats, salads, rice and sides

A. D.

That food was delightful, with the right friends around it was a great afternoon.

A. Z.

Good customer service. Food is nice but honestly nothing exceptional. Got the mixed grill, some parts of the meats were a bit overcooked and the accompanying sidea were less than you would expect to receive. Overall it has nice seating and good service.

G. P.

I booked a table for my birthday meal, and they were very accommodating. Even let us change tables after we sat down. Food delivery was quick and service was decent too. During the starters we were served as much as bread as we wanted with the dips and sauces. The mains was presented beautifully although the salad could be improved with the meals. Was full of lettuce more then any other salad. Loved the baklava with the Turkish tea at the end. All in all a good evening.

S. A.

Delicious food, fast efficient service. Most of all I was so happy to see the prayer place provided. I wish all Muslim establishments provided prayer places like this.

H. R.

It's a good place to eat for the Turkish and Lebanese cuisine. Chicken shish and chicken kofta are v nice. The casseroles are ok. Seafood is good as well. Tea and Baklava served at the end is excellent! It was very crowded on a Ramadan eve, might be a problem for people who are not fasting and looking for a quiet dinner. They don't serve any alcohol.

O. A.

Amazing restaurant, the food is one of the best I have tasted in Cardiff. If you are in Cardiff visit Saray restaurant you will love. The Staffs are brilliant and very friendly. Best seabass I have ever had.

F. R.

Came to visit this evening for the first time. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We were sat at a table straight away and drinks, bread and dips followed almost straight away. Staff would pop by often to check all was ok which was lovely. Our food arrived on a massive platter that looked and tasted beautiful (very impressive). Containers and bags were given with no charge to take what we couldn’t eat home. Tea and sweet treats given on the house too. The price was really fair and food well worth the money. We can’t wait to visit again. Thankyou for your kindness.

O. A. H.

Great food and great service. Got the Sarma Beyti and it was one of the best I've had. Really enjoyable food, good vibes and great service. I'll be going back there again.

A. S.

Very nice 👌 and delicious food.

H. W.

Amazing food ! All measures were expertly carried out, and we felt very comfortable with their professionalism ! We had a sharing platter which was outstanding, will definitely be returning here !

a. a.

Everything was perfect, Food also delicious

A. S.

Everytime i visit Cardiff...Saray is a must. Best customer service i have experienced. All the staff are friendly and the food is quality! Definitely recommend this one.

J. P. L.

Fantastic fresh food and value! Great for family night out. Non alcoholic restaurant and their fruits shack are lovely.we will be back again .

P. L.

A regular visitor, loved by the whole family, stunning food only soft drinks sold but there's a few pubs nearby if you was a pint before or after your meal.

A. n.

The meal was more than enough we had to take away. My wife really enjoyed the delicious meal. We will come again.

O. B.

This was my first proper experience of authentic Turkish cuisine, and I must say that I loved every moment of it. There is a large variety on the menu and each dish I tried was delicious, very well made and presented wonderfully. The service was also very impressive, and we were even given complimebtary baklava and tea at the end of our meal! All round a great experience, would highly recommend a visit as it must be one of the best restaurants on City Road.

M. S.

Excellent service and very delicious food. We got a platter for two and it was really big. They also gave us complimentary tea and desert in the end. So I’m very happy with the place, we will come again for sure.

S. B.

Had a lovely time here! Staff, food and service were top notch! Who can resist complementary Turkish tea & fresh baklava.

S. M.

Over the last 5 years every time we visit Cardiff we always visit Saray. One of the best Turkish food places I’ve been to.

V. M.

Great taste! very very nice food, perfect size portions, the prices are very fair, customer service was just right too. We got complimentary Turkish tea and Baklava also some bread and dips at the beginning. there so many options to eat Turkish food, but they just became one of my favorites in city Road.

K. S.

All I can say is wow. We have been travelling the UK and this has been hands down our best value meal of the trip (well joint 1st). We literally could not believe how delicious this was the meat was really high quality and flavourful. Got free bread starters with dip and a dessert. The best Turkish we have ever been too and probably ever will.

M. J.

Wow! The lamb was super tasty, the portions are generous and the service was great so I'll say it's definitely value for your money. I'll be back for sure.

S. D.

A little gem of a place with authentic Turkish food. Staff helpful & friendly & food superb. Great Lamb sharing platter and the homemade bread & dip starters are a wonderful complimentary dish whilst you wait for the wonderful food.

R.

Great food, very moist not dry at all, which can often be the case at this type of Restaurant. Great service and complimentary tea after. Desserts are underwhelming.

S. M.

One of the busiest Turkish restaurant in the city. If you can find the car parking and book a table this is really good experience. Foods are really delicious. We choose platters most of the time. Service is reasonable as well.

k. “. b.

One of my favourite Turkish palce around Cardiff. Have always enjoyed the complementary bread, Turkish tea and baklava. I been here plenty of time and have not been disappointed with food once. At times very busy and have long waits without booking. Service is quick and efficient though. This place is on very busy road so always struggle to find parking around.

A.

The best of its kind in Cardiff. Nice and helpful staff, great food, reasonable price. I like lamb shish (well done).

S. R.

Zara was an excellent staff member who looked after us all and her suggestions on what to have from the menu was perfect ( salmon was dry tho)

A. H.

Brilliant food .. great service .. they give you complementary tea and baklawa after That heavenly grill 👌😍

C. R.

Great as always, food has always been first rate and staff are great. Very good value too. Only slight issue was that the table wasn't quite big enough for the nine of us. A bit cramped. It was busy though and that won't put us off returning.

O. E.

Amazing mixed grill! Very well priced! Delicious food and good staff 👍🏼

N. B.

Saray is one of those few restaurants I will go to again and again, what impresses me is the quality and consistency. Staff are always friendly and polite. And the food is always top quality. Tea and Baclava after the meal is always welcome.

S. M.

Feta and olives starter. Mixed lamb kebab main. Lots of meat with rice and salad. Turkish bread and dips as accompaniment. Lamb tender and tasty. Olive and feta starter would easily be enough for two. Choice of sauces available. Overall very tasty and generous portion. Would definitely visit agsin.

A. M.

Their lamb shish is good but I don't know what happened to their lahmacun lately. It was much better 2 - 3 months ago but now it is undercooked, greasy and has no taste.

M. M.

friendly staff and food was good. Only regretted ordering non-turkish starters which were not great. 1. Lentil soup was watery and bland 2. the cheese pastries (originally labanese) were frozen ready made ones and not fresh. They also came in triangle shape not the usual rolls The mains were great. Both lamb and shish chicken dish with yogurt was great. Portion sizes are large so we had to pack some. Turkish tea + baklava + bread + salad + dips was all complementary. Which is quite a lot and was good :)

J. F.

Went here last night for the first time as a party of 12 for my wife's 50th the food was absolutely fantastic most of us had the chicken mixed kebabs portions was really big , ordered a meza to start which was really nice but didn't know on the house (free) they come with home made bread and olive's with 2 sides dips which would have been enough for a starter, the mains was really good all 12 came out literally together which is really good and to finish they give you a small dessert and tea on the house ,the service was spot on I would definitely recommend this to anyone and I will be going back.

A. D.

Visited for the first time for lunch today. I have to say after hearing the hype and missing the Turkish restaurants in London, i was rather disappointed. The meals are all London prices considering this, tbh the food was pretty bland- i ordered the salmon dish and it was literally just grilled salmon with little -to- no seasoning or flavour at all. The rice was presented well but a small portion and the salad was mainly iceberg lettuce that didnt look particulatly fresh. 3/5 because the waitress was nice and the restaurant was very clean.

H. S.

Always a lover of this place for the platter for two but disappointed in the last visit as meat was over cooked and hard. Requested replacement but was denied as the server said they had been serving like this the whole day as the meat gets like that due to the cold weather and the grill is near the entrance so she said sorry about it. Disappointed and felt like a waste of money as couldn't eat.

S. K.

Better than expected, well above average Turkish food, even the salad is tasty

j. b.

Amazing food and great service 👌 will definitely return

K. D.

The food is brilliant, lots of good veggie options, the staff are very attentive, and very fair prices. Will definitely be back!

G. P.

Very good food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

A. A.

Most delicious kebab ever , highly recommended, always order here

C. B.

Good food, nice place, amazing staff

N. K.

Went on 18/4/22 chicken and lamb shawarma was off the platters because of Ramadan so they replaced that with chicken wings. The chips and rice came out cold (the rice was undercooked). The meat was cooked deliciously. Don't if it was just because they were unable to cope with the surge of people breaking fast but it was disappointing for a place that normally has high standards.

k. p.

Amazing place, great atmosphere attentive staff and all round great food couldn’t fault it. Portion sizes are really big too. Don’t think the picture does it justice but 🔥

H. K.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Great prices! The tea and baklava were a perfect way to end the meal. This is a must for anyone visiting or living in Cardiff!

C. c. J.

Went there today for ifari food was ok not cooked properly and my daughter loves lahmachun they said the oven is off so no lahmachun after 20minutes they served another table lahmachun they tell us a lie my 7 year old daughter was so sad about it

A. D.

Amazing food with good pricing. The staff are AMAZING, all the waitresses are in my experience. 100% recommend.

J. H.

Been there many times. Reasonable prices, big portions and great food. Family had kebabs and lamb chops and I had the seafood casserole. Food is delicious. Make sure you don't fill up on the complimentary bread at the start, as you'll need the room! We still needed 'doggy' bags when we left. Always great there.

P. G.

Probably the best Turkish Restaurant in South Wales

O. C.

Delicious homemade food and speciallized grilled meat in a real charcoal , Top excellent service👍🌹

B. C. K. B.

Very yummy food and attentive FOH staff. Would definitely come back again!!

C. F.

I love this place ... the taste of a summer bbq on city road soooooo goooood ❤

R. A.

Incredible delicious steaks, meals, and lastly Turkish tea & baklava 💕 Also there is big masjid for you💕 Thanks for everything.

u. o.

Atmosphere of the restaurant is poor, noisy, kitchen so close and smelly. Food was tasty.

H.

Really helpful staff and attentive waiters. We didn't have a reservation but they still accommodated us. Spacious dining area, complimentary bread, olives, dips, tea and baklava. But the mixed platter was bland. Really wanted to give this 5 stars but the food was not up to scratch.

D. W.

Excellent, the lamb chops and ribs are to die for and a good atmosphere and friendly staff 😋 😀

M. N.

Amazing chicken wings😍 very nice food, brilliant tea, lovely hummus.

R.

This restaurant is very nice. The atmosphere and service is amazing let alone the food. I have been going to this restaurant for a long time and the expectations have always been high and maintained to this level. Lots of party’s and always busy.

A. D.

Good food

H.

Authentic and tasty Turkish food. Our family had the platter and enjoyed it thoroughly. The restaurant was very busy but we were still attended to and didn’t have to wait for ages to order. The tea and baklava at the end which was on the house goes to show how above and beyond they go to make the experience enjoyable for their customers.

L. R.

Lovely food, friendly staff and spacious restaurant

J. B.

Excellent Turkish cuisine. Delicious platter. Better than Lilo Cardiff and much much better than Awa in Swansea. You also get complementary Turkish tea and baklawa at the end. Great ambiance and plenty of seating.

C. W.

Always enjoy it here service very good too. Yummy 😋

P. W.

Very delicious, cheap price Waitress is so friendly😀

A. Y.

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend a visit. The food is authentic and tasty. The staff are so attentive and polite even though it was so busy! The food came out very quickly and there was a lot of it! Expected to pay more at the end but it was much cheaper than expected! Cant fault it at all! Go go go

R. N.

Nice restaurant, prices slightly higher compared to other similar restaurants. Good environment.

C. S. (.

Nice restaurant with nice cooked food. Service is excellent with good caring containers. Turkish style!😊

M. F.

Not bad but not great. Excellent lentil soup starter and finger food/aperitif were good but downhill after that. I had sea bass for main. Its grilled but it had a distinct smell. Like it may have been sitting out too long 😳. Most of the menu was not available. Which was a shame so I ended up ordering what was available. That's not the experience you want. No fresh juice at all. No smoothies. A very strained menu for food. I was told its being updated. That's fine but that shouldn't mean a paying customer has less choice. A menu can still be served if a new one is being prepared. Nice decor and staff attentive but restaurants fall and survive on their food. If you have no food then rating will be affected. Most Turkish restaurants provide solid food but Saray has some catching up to do. I've had sea bass from other places up and down the country but this was below what I've come to expect. My friend had mousakka and wasn't impressed. I can't comment on other food they didn't have but if they did it might have turned out a better review. It could have easily been a 2 page menu. Not 6 pages. In a prime spot for busy restaurants...they need to set the benchmark. Want them to do well but I also want to share my experience. Summary, meh. If it improves I'll improve my rating. FYI parking in this area on a Saturday is a nightmare. Nothing to with restaurant but plan ahead.

M. O.

Made to feel welcome, delicious meze. Best baba ganoush I've ever had. I came away stuffed and will return again if I'm in the area.

U. H. M.

Food was delicious. Want to go again

M. D.

The best value restaurant in Cardiff….pure & simple!

E. M.

Saray restaurant is one of my favourite places to go. It is hands down the best Turkish restaurant in South Wales. So well priced and they give complimentary starter and dessert. There baklava is amazing, probably one of the best I have tasted! 🙂

M. S.

Amazing food, beautiful interior, friendly staff and affordable. Perfect!

M. N. Y.

Amazing taste like in Turkey 🇹🇷 My special dish Lahmacun 😍 Staff very friendly Fast service and big portion Thank you very much

As always very warm welcome off the owners & theyre staff and the food was excellent this place is always consistent would highly recommend.

k. t.

Frequently visit. Delicious food! Highly recommend!!

G.

Depends what you want. Quantity over quality and this is the place. But being fair, the price does reflect that balance. All a question of choices.

o. m.

The food and service is very nice. They also give out complimentary stuff in the end. A bit pricey but worth going.

R. S.

Really awesome service from friendly staff, food was tasty and cooked well

s. m.

Excellent food and service, very good prices aswell. Will definitely be back 👍

j. w.

Excellent food. Smoothies weren't available but were on the menu. Only reason 4 not 5 stars.

Very enjoyable meal with my family! Really friendly staff, excellent food and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended! Thank you for a great evening. 😊

H. D. M.

Very nice place, the stuff friendly and excellent food

C. S.

Service is good - you get complimentary bread and dips to begin and tea with baklava at the end, otherwise would be less star. However, the food is tasteless, which is confusing as it seemed busy. Wont be returning.

i. h.

Excellent value for money, really nice food, great atmosphere and service.

A. O.

Nice and modern place. Grilled meat is very tasty 👌🏼

O. B.

The best in Cardiff . In city road

M. A.

I came there with my family for dinner and really enjoyed eating there. The food was amazing and especially the lamb ribs! They gave a good service overall, the place very clean & well presented.

#. S.

Great staff, amazing and tasty food, fabulous chefs. Quite busy on Friday and Saturday so book a table in advance.

U. “. -.

The wait for a table was about 10 mins and even though the service was slow in the beginning in terms of ordering, once we ordered the service was on point. The server who served us gave great service. The food that came was exquisite. The kofte and shish was unique in terms of the spices used. And the complimentary baklava and Turkish tea topped the night off.

A. M.

Food is nice but their price increase is far too much for the locals who remember their old prices! Sauces tasted watered down and they won’t allow people to have jugs of water unless they pay for a fizzy drink. Not impressed as the food makes you thirsty and that last thing you’d want is a fizzy drink to quench it

S. P.

Excellent Turkish food :) They use real charcoal, which gives a great flavour. Included with our meal was a Turkish bread starter with a few small portions of dips. We had the cold mezze platter, falafel starter, the vegetable casserole, Turkish tea and Turkish coffee, which was more than enough food and cost about £32.

J. D.

Had an absolutely delicious lunch ! Have only had take away from here, during lockdown. Which was great, but even more delicious when freshly prepared, sitting in this beautiful restaurant, with a lovely mural on the wall. The restaurant was well organized for social distancing. The staff were efficient and friendly. And the advantage of sitting in, is you get to have the refreshing Turkish tea and baklava.

z. a.

One of the best Turkish restaurant in South Wales, food perfectly cooked and delicious in test, staff were very friendly and attentive. Had platter for 4 and there was plenty of food to feed 6 people. Kids really enjoyed it too.

R. E.

Insanely good food, we ll be back xxx

U. H.

Made our evening very memorable with food and service

S. P. J.

Nice food and good service, they don't do tap water which I find weird for a restaurant, but they did to complimentary bread/olives and also tea and a piece of baklava after the meal 😃👍🏾

R. W.

Always great service and fabulous food. Been coming here for years now and never failed yet. Mehmet and the team are great. Chefs are awesome too.

R. M.

Has to be the best Turkish restaurant in South Wales, staff ever so friendly and willing to help, my wife had lamb chops salad rice AND chips I had a dish called Iskander it was a bowl of lamb bread tomato sauce with 12 gallons of thick tasty yoghurt absolutely fantastic, free starters free tea and Baklava, and I don't mind saying that 1/2 of it was eaten by me the following day for tea. Definitely going back this weekend.

T. B.

Very good food. Enormous portions. Great prices. Friendly staff. Definitely recommended

We had the best food ever, it was delicious and the service was great. Thank you Zara or Zahra for your great service you created a welcoming environment for us today thank you again🌷🌷🌷.

P. L.

Excellent food but if you have it delivered it takes well over an hour to arrive and it is cold the delivery needs to be better

İ. B. G.

New takeaway opening soon. Same taste as Saray Restaurant. Thank you.

A. A.

Food was amazing, generous serving but they are always busy and don’t allow time for customers to stay. Make sure you book a table before you go .

F. N.

One of the best places for Turkish food in Cardiff, Saray is quite spacious although it would be advisable to book a table for dinner. The staff are so kind (and good-looking!) and are very attentive to your needs. The menu is vast and can also be customised according to your choice, just mention it to your waiter. As is often the case, the portions are so large that you may need to take some home, so be mindful when ordering! They also offer complimentary tea at the end of your meal, as well as complimentary baklava. It has great atmosphere and the music is nice and mellow.

n. g.

Fabulous food and really good service, staff are great and lovely atmosphere. I would happily recommend this place.

S.

Always love visiting Saray. Their complimentary mezze before the start of your meal is a pleasant treat service is quick and staff are very helpful when asking about dishes. I always go for a platter and I am never disappointed. The complimentary tea and baklava with the bill is also such a nice touch. 10/10 no complaints here at all!

C. I.

One of my favorite Turkish cafe in Wales. Amazing food, friendly staff. Wide range of kebabs.

u. u.

My first time here for my daughter and sister's birthday. Delicious food served with style and grace. Tasty clean. All 7 members of the family are and enjoyed. From a 9 month old to 70. Good value for money. We ordered the platter which was more than enough with some left over. Even the 7 hear old liked the tea, baklava. Then the cake came in kindly by staff. Fantastic time. Thank you

K. O.

I ordered a take away and it was not nice. I rang them they apologise and ask if I will like to have another. I see this act as pure professionalism and making customers feel important. I took the other option of having a discount on my next order instead. I highly recommend!

H.

Amazingly friendly staff! I was tired after a long trip and tried to find a proper place for a good mixed grill platter. I was not disappointed. The difference to the main restaurant (Saray across the street) is that it’s more relaxed, less formal, more for a quick visit (hence express). Thank you again for your hospitality and providing the alternative that Cardiff urgently needs (when I see the restaurants in the city center).

L. B.

This is the best Turkish restaurant in Cardiff. The adana kebab, pirzola and chicken wings are all so good! While you are waiting for your meal, you are given bread, cacık, ezme and olives, and baklava and çay at the end of your meal, which is all really nice. The atmosphere is casual. We went during lockdown, and they took our temperature, asked for our contact details and observed social distancing. I would deffo recommend!

B. D.

The best restaurants.The food was super delicious, perfect service will recommend to my friends . Thank you for the staff

Really fresh salad and bread still warm delivered on time and food spot on really tasty chicken shish rice lovely even the Turkish sausage really nice I’d say 4.5 out of 5 and portion size was good. Glad I ordered

S. L.

The food is absolutely amazing here. Love the platter that they serve. The food is very filling and freshly cooked. Very good place.

T. A.

Came here with my family and had an amazing experience, the grill platter is exceptional. Good tasting authentic Turkish food in Cardiff is hard to find!

a. z.

To best qiality of saray restaurant and serving very quality good food

H. A.

Been there twice, was brilliant experience

A. D.

Excellent friendly service. Beautiful Turkish food. Not all the dessert menu was available and we were dissapointed that the delicious rice pudding was not available.

A. K.

Love the place but wish they would sort out the oven issue, so far we have been told the chef is on holiday and also they do not take orders for any oven options when busy, sorry but I have no idea what that means, you can get different reasons on the same night dependent on who you ask. My latest visit I noticed that the portions have got smaller and the ribs I got were about 3 as 2 was just bones.. Pity.. This place seems to be going downhill, food also wasn't hot.. More like warm..

A. C.

Amazing. One of my favorite restaurants. Really authentic great tasting food and amazing staff. Highly recommended!!

d. m.

Really good food and service. It's a shame my favourite place in the bay is closed. This is definitely filling the gap.

n. k.

T.

Good food and nice food and friendly staff

M. C.

Excellent service, delicious food, extensive menu choices and did I mention the delicious food?

J. G.

Been here loads of times. The lamb chops I had on the 28th May 2021 were the best I've ever had in my life. Better than any 5 star restaurant.

Y. S.

The food was good, but the water was expensive san.

H. S.

Lovely takeaway during lockdown

N. H.

I when to this restaurant for the first time 17th Aug 2021 The place was lovely and very welcoming Staff really nice Been as it was my first time I was really unsure what to eat So opted for chicken and friend had lamb Chicken was bit crispy but ok lamb was same but again ok We did not have any bread on arrival which is ok as I was not sure if we had to pay for it or ask for it Our waitress was new so she obviously was not sure either But overall it was an experience It was a lovely place I will return again And try again As I really did not know what to expect

S. D.

Very good foods and very fantastic foods Manager and all staffs very good communication as well good attitude Very nice rooms and very beautiful colours with lights Good spaces rooms and when last eat after very beautiful tea and sweets My love again come there beautiful place and nice relaxing with tea & sweets

S. K.

One of the best restaurants in Cardiff! Me and my friend have been here at least 10 times. The mixed kofte is delicious! The place is always busy so it’s a nice atmosphere and the service is great. We also get free bread, tea and baklava on the house! Would definitely recommend :)

d. a.

Lovely food, great staff, definetly return!

T.

It's a place for Turkish food is really good. Taste of food is ameazing😋 service is very good nice decorated🤗.. overall it's better then other Turkish food in city road Cardiff 😊

I. C.

On my opinion, the best Turkish food in Cardiff. Quite large portions and complimentary bread and tea with your meal. My personal favourite plates are the mixed grill and the moussaka. If you are hungry the starters are lovely.

O. E.

I had lentil soup and iskender Iskender has put me off eaten that was the worst iskender I ever had in my life I would have giving you a 1 start but the lentil soup was good that’s why I’m giving you 3

A. F.

The food is apsolutelty amazing ! Best meat in Cardiff and the staff are lovely so welcoming and polite! 100% will be coming back.

A. S.

22.08.2020 First visit to Cardiff from London and an amazing experience it was at this restaurant. Food was delicious and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Special thanks to young man MELİK who took his time to talk to us and was very sweet and helpful in recommending places to visit in Wales (Sully Island!).

A. B.

I come here very often and absolutely love the food! The service is very quick and sincere. The portions are massive and they serve freshly baked bread with dips as a starter on the house.

Y. Y.

Great food! Came at the recommendation of a friend, opted for the mixed grill and forgot to take a snap becuase it smelled too good to not eat... The meat was cooked wonderfully, tender and flavourful. The complimentary starter along with the tea and sweet to finish was a great touch to finish up the mains. If the rest of the menu is as good as the grill, I will keep coming back. Definitely recommended!

H. A.

Amazing! The best service in the area and beautiful food! Honestly can’t recommend this enough. Lovely atmosphere, staff are amazing and so friendly. Food is beautiful. They can’t get rid of us! Been so many times and this place will never get boring!

D. B.

Absolutely great food, very cheap and fresh. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is very welcoming. The staff here is friendly but not extraordinary. I loved the food we ordered, which was less than £30 ⭐ As a bonus we also got free turkish tea and baklava after we finished our meal 🍵

M.

The food was quite decent and I enjoyed it, the customer service we received from the waitress was great but the customer service we received from the manager was atrocious. That woman was so rude when she was taking our order and i have heard other people complain about her before but I didn’t know it would be that bad. As long as she is the manager there i will never come back to eat at that place. Awful manners 😡

P. W.

Brilliant Turkish restaurant with mountains of delicious food. Excellent service by great staff. Free breads and olives before and baklava and Turkish tea at the end. Not too busy at lunchtime today ...just right for conversations around our table of 10 people. I'm going there again!

G. B.

This meal was wonderful. I had an evening here with a few friends and we ordered a sharing plater. A literal mountain of food was delivered to our table and all of it delicious. The service was fantastic and the complementary tea and baklava just perfected the experience. Will eat here again

A. L.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the food.

A. A.

Friendly staff, food served quickly

A. S.

Really liked the food and the portions were generous as well as the service. I ordered a 4 person platter and there were plenty of leftovers to take back home. The decor and settings are nice and it's pretty big so lots of space.

S. Z.

It was an amazing experience. The waiters and the stuff was extremely welcoming and the food was delicious! Not to talk about the cheap prices!

M. D.

One of the best Turkish cuisine in the UK, friendly staff, perfect service

F. S.

Takes time but the food is definitely worth it

A. A.

This is pretty good restaurant. They serves variety of delicious middle eastern dishes. Most of the staffs there are very welcoming and ready to help, except the lady in the afternoon shift. She doesn't seem happy to work there at all; She barely smile and she looked like impatiently waiting for the customers to finish their food and go. Therefore, i would give them 4 stars.

j. f.

Food and service wise great little restaurant been here many times now and they never dissapoint very tasty and great price

m. 1.

Had been taken here as a birthday treat by a few friends who had booked a table. Portion sizes are Very generous, great selection of dishes. Will definitely be back. Does get busy so maybe worth booking a table before you go.

V. D.

After visiting enough Turkish restaurants, they all kinda feel the same. Same menu, music, decor. That said, the food here was exceptional. Everything we ordered, with the exception of the falafel, was amazing. Tender, well prepared and marinated meat, reasonably priced and generous portions made this Turkish restaurant stand out. 4.9 out of 5, would visit again.

N. L.

Great food, portions are perfect. The server was amazing too. Loved it. Will hopefully return.

C. G.

Great service, food and value for money. Would recommend your restaurant to other. I was visiting Wales and was taken to your restaurant. The staffs were great. Love the touch at the end of the meal of the sweet and tea. Keep up the good work and you will go far. Thanking you.

F. E.

Nice Turkish cuisine with friendly staffs and good choices of foods. Always we were treated with bread and dip before tye meal as well as with tea and baklava after the meal for free.

Z. S.

Loved the food. Absolutely delicious . The waitresses were just as wonderful and very very helpful. The Turkish waitress was so lovely and had a permanent smile on her face. My daughters loved her. Been to this place twice. Can't fault it at all. Beautiful deco . Clean and cosy . Large portions. Would definitely definitely recommend if looking for a place to eat in cardiff

C. P.

I had the mixed grill platter, it was sooooo good. The meat was incredibly tender; so tender it could have been slow roasted. The portion sizes were generous, the price reasonable, the staff attentive and the atmosphere bustling. I'd happily recommend this to anyone looking for fun place to eat out in Cardiff.

O. O.

Generally good service, although taken longer than usual to get served by the waitresses when restaurant wasn’t that busy. The grilled food tasted dry and overcooked especially the lamb shish. Reasonably priced considering you get complimentary starters and tea with backlawa.

h.

Excellent service. Food arrived quickly and was all delicious. Staff were attentive. All the things are really thoughtful such as the bread and dips and baklava at the end. Lots of veggy options 👍🏼

F. T.

The food here was absolutely stunning. On a busy Friday they still managed to provide quality service and food to all 7 of us. No issues were raised aswell. This is a proper resturaunt and wish them all the best. Thank you!

T. A.

The service was excellent and our waiter, Mehmet was very helpful. The food was nice and reasonably priced.

K. A.

Had dinner at Saray with two friends. Was very good. quick service for peak time on a Saturday night. Good decor and has a lively busy atmosphere. The food was very tasty, fresh and came with free bread, salad, baklava and Turkish tea. Dinner for 3 of us having a mix grill each , cold meze starter and hummus cost us £56. Excellent value. I would recommend to anyone.

S. A.

Absolutely amazing food. Ambience and excellent service.

S. S.

The food was perfectly cooked. The portion is good but the rice has to be a little more . I would give it 5 stars but actually I gave 4 because the waitress. Yesterday there were two waitresses the blonde was very welcoming and friendly but the other one not at all , she could at least smiles to us 😕 .

j. b.

Their food was absolutely wonderful..... tasted so much nicer than the usual grill house. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to city road to try it out. The staff were really polite. Would visit there again.

N. H.

Good quality food. The atmosphere is generally busy on normal days. Ramadan/festival seasons are hectic! Good for large groups and families. Staff is really patient and welcoming. I recommend it overall.

M. T.

Excellent food. Swift service and food value . Group of 5 served where we shared the meze starters and had mixed shish meals. Good portion sizes. Bread given with dips and mint tea with Turkish pastries were complimentary. Thoroughly recommend.

A. B.

Good service, good prices and great quality food. The food portions are very generous, so make sure you don't over order, for example a 'platter for two' would be more than enough for three normal people. The free bread and dips while you wait, and the free Turkish tea and baklava after your meal are lovely, and delicious, touches. I will be sad when my daughter leaves the university and we no longer have cause to visit.

R. L.

Best place I have eaten in ages. The food is lovely, very large portions, lovely free bread with dips and olives. Free baclava and tea when you finish your meal. Portions are huge and the lady who served us offered us to take the rest away. We had an extra tea and when we notified them that it wasn't added to our bill, we were told not to worry about it. Service was so quick and they're attentitive and polite. This place really looks after their customers, one of the best customer experiences I've ever had. Have been recommending to others since my visit and will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for a great experience!

A. B.

Excellent value for money and always great food

J. T.

I enjoyed a fantastic celebratory meal here on the way home from an exam. Lovely atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff, and fantastic food (with tea, fresh bread,and a dessert on the house!), that was all reasonably priced (I spent £10 in total). I’m currently looking for an excuse to drag others there.

A. B.

'YOU MUST TRY IT'. Difficult to fault if you like this sort of thing. Saray is a largish restaurant but you receive your own space and great service in a very clean environment. The food is fresh and good quality at a great price. The staff are well trained, efficient, always, I felt casting a watchful eye for your requirements. They're all very pleasant with genuine smiles for all. We'll go again, manager/owner deserve this great restaurant. WELL DONE ALL IN SARAY and thanks for making us welcome. I'd advise making a reservation.

D.

Sensational restaurant, visited with my family to celebrate A level results day. Loved the food and service.

i. s.

The food wasn't great though I had heard a lot about the place. But the staff here is exceedingly good and courteous. They are helpful and polite, esp the chefs. I guess the reason for me find the food slightly bland is bcoz I eat heavily salted and spiced up food. In all a good place.

A. L.

Service was great. May be I chose a wrong main dish. Otherwise it was good.

J. M.

Food was delicious, quick service and free baklava and tea to finish

A. C.

Wow! I have been to many Turkish resturants. This place was spot on, service was on point. Definitely worth visiting.

p. p.

Great service and a good price. Friendly and welcoming

A. S.

Looking for a great place for amazing Turkish food ? This place has you covered. It’s the best place for shawarmas and mixed grills in Cardiff beating a lot of the rivals on city road. I normally opt for the mixed shawarma meal it’s amazingly cooked to perfection and the free bread and tea is the icing on the cake. You must visit This place!

A. W.

Amazing food, friendly staff. Highly recommend cannot wait to go back. Been there on many occasions and never have been disappointed. Brilliant place to eat.

A. N.

Great food and great service. The staff are lovely and make you feel at home. Will definitely visit Saray again.

T. O.

Great place, good food, served fast! Priced ok, and you can take stuff out with you as well. Drawback is that they serve no alcohol at all, so it makes this place good only for quick meals if you are on a date night and want something after a long day at work

A. B.

Went to Cardiff for a United game and asked Twitter for a good halal restaurant. Everyone that suggested places, all suggested Saray. After having visited, I can completely understand why. They food was AMAZING and at such a great price. Probably the best turkish food I have had. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the service was impeccable. Definitely going back there next time I visit Cardiff, purely for the service alone!! Such nice staff, extremely friendly and kind 👌🏽

E. G.

Always lovely to go here freindly service and fresh yummy food. Would definitely recommend.

M. A.

Highly recommended, tastes great!

J.

A delicious food and a great service, the restaurant atmosphere reminded me of Istanbul🇹🇷😊😊😊

E. F.

Delicious food, very polite and friendly staff, such a nice atmosphere too, prices also good.

M. D.

First time in Cardiff, and we were pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was good especially the grilled prawns, staff were helpful. PS, if you're wondering this place is halal and there is a prayer room downstairs

y. a.

Well prepared food, good service I really enjoyed the special Saray mix with my mates Higly recommended

M. P. B.

Tasty Turkish boat pizzas and delicious halloumi wraps, atmosphere is always nice and the service is most attentive. I like the fact that you can also see them make your food if you want to. Also they gave us complimentary Turkish tea and baklava when we finished our meals! Overall very good experience, can't wait to go back!

A. G.

The best Turkish restuarant in the UK. Always brilliant. Book as it gets busy and lot less tables due to social distancing.

D. H.

Good food and quality poultry, very juicy and reminded of a place I ate at in Turkey (Goynuk Antalya), give it a go

R. S.

Amazing food. Everytime I eat with pleasure from there. Despite I know tha taste of food, everytime I enjoy it as the first time. Highly recommended.

P. Q.

Visiting Cardiff from London - great service and amazing food. Received complimentary tea and desert at the end. Will come again.

H. A.

Great food every time

Z. M.

Best food on city road

M. G.

Good food. Nice design and atmosphere in normal days. Busy days and ramadan/festival seasons are hectic! Good for large groups and families. Staff is really patient and very welcoming. I recommend it overall.

u. k.

Delicious food and friendly staff. We ordered Special platter for 8 people and it was more than enough. Been here few times and they never disappoint me.

G. K.

There are a large number of restaurants on City Road so for one to stand out it has to provide the best of everything. We chose to dine quite early in the evening, 5pm. My partner and I arrived and we're met by a smiling waitress who offered us a choice of seats. We chose a booth by the window as it was a sunny day. Saray could seat 100 easily and there were maybe 10 people already seated. We were brought menus and a chilled pop top bottle of tap water, a nice touch as I usually have to ask. The menu was extensive and while we were choosing the waitress brought Turkish flatbread with dips, a tomato salsa, olives and a creamy yoghurt and spring onion (I think) which were delicious. Finally we both chose the mixed grill:a lamb kofta, chicken kofta, lamb shish and chicken shish which came with chips and rice. We also had chilli sauce (be careful if you don't like heat), ketchup and a yoghurt sauce. To drink I chose a lemon and mint juice and my partner had a raspberry and blueberry smoothie, marvellous! This was wonderful but far too filling and we had to ask for boxes to take the half we had been unable to eat, home, which I think is a usual request here. After food we were brought Baklava and Turkish tea gratis. This came to the sum of £36. I think of the prices I have paid in some restaurants for food I haven't half as much enjoyed let alone reached the sane quality and quantity. I can only say we will return. Many thanks Saray!

C. J.

Really great. Delicious food and very good portions. The staff were friendly, they provided certain "basics" free of charge (breads, sweets etc). Definitely going back.

T. A.

This is my second time here and i came specifically all yhe way to Cardiff for their grilled sea bass. The portions are very generous and the hosts are nice and friendly.

m. a.

Good food, a bit expensive but worth as no other option

t. s.

Food tastes really good. The turkish dishes taste amazing. Portions are good too. Prices are average. Seats are comfortable and the place is ideal for large meals out. There is a masjid downstairs which is great.

a. i.

It’s lovely restaurant with menu you would die for and nice friendly staff helpful I advise any one who like Turkish food to give it a go

J. S. Q.

Really tasty food, mixed grill with rice really well made and baclava lovely and sweet.

D. J.

G. G.

Perfect place to visit, best Turkish restaurant in the Cardiff. Huge portions we never able to finish it. Highly recommended staff were very helpful and pleasant.

A. S.

Ordered food many times. Had food inside about two time. Service is great and quick. BEST TAKE AWAY I have ever had. Never waited more than 20 minutes on delivery. The food it's amazing. Very tasty and satisfying. Definitely recommend it!

C. T.

Amazinggg food and great service. Didn't know that it is that spacious until we went in there. Plenty of starter options. Very nicely cooked meals. Tea on the house was a pleasant surprse. Defo recommend this place to any food enthusiast. Very friendly staff. Well done guys keep up the good work

J. S.

Food was delicious....plenty of it....reasonably priced... Waitress service was good... Only downside to the evening was how noisy it was in there....I left with a headache... I would go again for the food, but not the atmosphere x

J. H.

Good atmosphere, service and food.

Y. C.

Great restaurant lovely people and really friendly. Amazing food with freshly baked bread and the best grilled food.

S. M.

Fantastic service and shocking price for amazing food thank you very much for hospitality Mehmet Nur

Food Amazing, service brilliant. The complementary Tea and Bakhlava at the end of the meal is awesome too. A must visit at this restaurant for people living in or visiting Cardiff.

L. S.

Very delicious food for reasonable prices. Staff is always really polite and helpful! Nice atmosphere as well, I highly recommend the restaurant.

n. e.

Love this place. Lovely food.. Good customer service. Always get free sweets and free mint tea after your meal. Cant fault the service

T. L.

Very casual atmosphere. The taste of the food (lamb) exceeded my expectations and was very affordable for the quantity. Baklava and complimentary tea also great

I. M.

One of the best Kebab restaurant in Cardiff . I usually order shared platter for 2 with a side plate for 4 of us and it is more than enough. They do serve complimentary tea and Baklava after meals as well which is good treat for kids.

M. A.

Stopped in by chance to escape the rain and had the most pleasant experience. Wonderful friendly staff and excellent food. Will be returning with the family!

R. A.

Just had a lovely meal at Saray Restaurant. Very authentic atmosphere and friendly staff, was offered complimentary tea which was very refreshing and some sweets. Overall had a nice meal with the family.

A. M. S.

Love this place,staff is amazing,they greet you with lovely nibbles,portions are good and very cheap.You have to try it.

S. K.

Thank you to Zara who helped us chose our dishes, excellent customer services, delicous food.

M. S.

Located on City Road, a very attractive place having superb ambiance and typical turkish look inside. Ver clean everywhere iside. The food was superb with a wide variety of choices. Even there were a lot of dishes especially for the vegetarians. At the end Turkish Qahwa/ Tea help digest all the food. Very helpful and quite effecient and active staff.

a. t.

The only reason for giving 4 star not 5 as the Iskander wasn't testy it has no flavour at all . I have tried Iskander before in so many places and the tomato sauce it spouse to have s special flavour however the Adana kebab was fantastic highly recommend and the Service was super. Definitely will back again but not to order Iskander .

N. A.

Really tasty food and very generous portions. Would deff recommend. However it is pretty much the same as about 100 other places on City Road.

S. M.

Pleasant ambiance and good customer service.

D. A. D.

I like very much turkish food, there are also some vegan options. What a pity it closes early (as almost all restaurants here in GB) Good atmosphere, cuold be a bit more intimate. Thanks

D. S.

Can’t stop my cravings to their food.! We have become a regular customer of theirs. Will highly recommend a try and saray will never disappoint you.

L. A.

The restaurant is great and the food is so delicious. The food portions were more than we expected so we had to take the leftover home... We ate it the next day and it was still delicious!!

M.

This is the best restaurant I have ever tried. Customer service is not good at all, I suppose that’s the Wales Standard. But the food is absolutely wonderful, loved it :)

u. s.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend as iv been a long time fan of Lilo down the road got the mixed grill main and I have to admit it was probably the best mixed grill iv had anywhere! The chicken was particularly cooked to perfection. The lamb shish and kofte kebabs were seasoned beautifully. The portion size is quite large and the prices are very reasonable for what your getting. I'm not usually a fan of baklawa but it went down a treat with the Turkish tea at the end (which was on the house👍). Will definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu

C. S. B. G.

For us this has to be the best Turkish restaurant in Cardiff, from the quality, freshness and taste of the meat to the mint tea and Baklava they serve at the end of the meal. The Baklava is just to die for!

N. R.

Great Turkish food and drink and hospitality, and even better a musallaa downstairs that fits 40 people, what's not to love

L. G.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and brilliant food - some of the best lamb we've ever eaten. Will definitely be going again.

E. M.

Beautiful food & service well looked after by staff

D. A.

Really amazing Turkish food at a great price. Always includes bread and dips at the start and tea and baklava at the end. One of our favourite places to eat out.

S. B.

Smart set up. Lunch menu is an excellent deal. For £9.95 you get a starter, main, and dessert (hot drink & baklava). They accept cards which is a plus!

M. W.

The menu was extensive and while we were choosing the waitress brought Turkish flatbread with dips, a tomato salsa, olives and a creamy yoghurt and spring onion (I think) which were delicious. Finally we both chose the mixed grill:a lamb kofta, chicken kofta, lamb shish and chicken shish which came with chips and rice. We also had chilli sauce (be careful if you don't like heat), ketchup and a yoghurt sauce. To drink I chose a lemon and mint juice and my partner had a raspberry and blueberry smoothie, marvellous!

S. R.

Great food and service. On a busy Saturday night got everything spot on. Place was packed but the wait for a table was not that long. Huge portions as well

B. A.

The food tastes rather pretentious; in that it attempts to have "spice, flavour, etcetera, but it is rather mediocre in that it just tastes bland and dry, powdery etc. The environment is rather nice, save for the rather frugal families that come in and ask for 2 customers worth of food for 4 individuals. The seating and general place is very nice though. An acceptable place to dine, but not my first choice.

A. G.

Amazing food and service. Will recommend.

P. H. P.

One of the best dinners I've ever had!

A. K.

Great place. Great food. Service sometimes not 5 stars but worth a while anyway.

R. B.

A very lovely family oriented restaurant, with great food and atmosphere.. friendly staff - esp Mohammed who served us a few days ago.

W. A.

Quick service, friendly staff and nice food. What else could you ask for?!

C. C.

great food and friendly staff ...

R. W.

Go for the delicious grilled meats, or veggie cold mezze, the huge portions, good prices, and fruit smoothies. Starter of lamacun (kinda like a Turkish keema naan/pizza) is among my favourites, but only available at certain times (early evening?).

Y. D.

Food was absolutely so delicious, quick service and very clean place. I loved it.

I. M. M.

I'm picky with Turkish food and this is one of the best I've come across. Far more authentic than your regular Friday night doner kebab. They even make their own bread too.

H. G.

Very spacious restaurant with friendly staff and delicious turkish cuisine. Rib kebab was very nice. Portions were very generous. Loved baklavas baked straight there. Will go again.

S.

If you love meat you will adore this place, delicious every time. Friendly staff and inviting decor. Family and large party friendly too

s. A.

It was very nice it was the first time that I've been there and not the last neither. The food was very nice and the staff are very welcoming. Yrs I would recommend it to all of my friends

G. O.

Been using Saray for the last 5 years always been perfect and awesome food.. thanks for the service guys and keep up the good work..

C. L.

Really good food and service free starter and tea after really nice touch

K. L.

Fantastic service, friendly and polite staff, and amazing Turkish food. Every time I come here I am impressed. And the Turkish tea and baklava at the end are lovely!

J. S.

I was very impressed with my order from this restaurant as I found it excellent value for money and I look forward to ordering from here again.

N. J.

Food was delicious and servings were ample sized for an adult. Complimentary Turkish tea was very good! Quick service.

A. A.

The meats (kebabs, kaftan, chops) are probably the best in City Road Cardiff. If you know what you are going for, it can't be beaten. No alcohol, and service is ok

S. K.

Very fresh and great quality.

J. W.

Excellent quality food. Friendly waiting staff. This restaurant is very busy at the weekend and gives you a a good feed.

S. R.

Plentiful and delicious food, with friendly and attentive service. Excellent smoothies; and complimentary tea and baklava to finish is a nice touch.

S. I.

Ordered the Chicken Shish and tea afterwards. Really well cooked food tastes great too. Very nice, helpful staff. Good atmosphere/decor

S. B.

This is a great place to eat. The food was cooked while you wait and quickly — tea and baklava to finish. It is also inexpensive.

m. h.

Cosy, comfortable setting. Lovely helpful staff, 5 star food at brilliant prices. They even gave us free turkish tea and baklava desert. Will definitely be returning!!!!!

M.

The first time I've ever been here & I was really impressed with everything from the really helpful waiters & waitress service,to the excellent food &,also my friend had her 2yr old son with her and I noticed that there were other people who had children with them and as far as I know their was no objections by anyone else about children being in here,There are no alcoholic drinks served here which personally didn't bother me or anyone else that were with me.The food was well presented and was delicious,there were four adults and one child,& we decided to have a Platter of food for three which comes with rice or we had half rice and half Chips, also with the platter was a lovely big salad,and a mixture of dips and bread which we tucked into before and during the meal,the Platter of different kebabs,ribs,plus other meats was more than enough,infact although we ordered the platter for 3 & their were four of us which we all had enough,and there was alot left over which would have been a shame to waste,so we asked for a doggy bag,which they supplied & all of us enjoyed it & are now planning to go here again in a couple of weeks .

Complementary bread and hummus, complementary baklava at the end of the meal, the servers were great, polite and fast. They got my order wrong but with the speed they sorted it out I couldn't fault them!

Really delicious food and tidy place. It even has (Masjed) inside. The only downside is that the charged me £0.5 for using my Visa card and the said because it was not issued in UK.

Food, service and atmosphere 10/10. I'd prefer the ribs to be juicer but BBQ sauce done the trick perfect.
