Reviews
The food is outstanding and the darts games upstairs are a great way to enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
We ordered food to share and we were presented with an amazing variety of great food. An explosion of flavours and textures. All very well prepared, nothing undercooked or burned. Al dente.
RONI, our waitress, made our experience special. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, she provided outstanding service with such a friendly and positive attitude. Her hospitality should be rewarded
The interior is a nice touch to Winchester. It’s classy and a really mature vibe which is a nice escape when enjoying a cocktail.
I had a glass of wine and my friend had a cocktail. There is a big list of drinks to choose from and honestly their back bar is impressive. There was a great range of high end and cheaper alcohol to pick from.
The waiter was lovely and really attentive and a credit to the restaurant . He bought us drinks and helped recommend dishes. We got the sharing Hot Meze which had a nice range of items. The humus was lovely with pomegranate in it and the calamari was cooked well. For £18 I do think it’s a bit steep for what you get but you do get to try a couple of different things.
We also got Padron peppers and they were amazing, we would come back just for them . We also ordered some scallops which again were a perfect texture. I wasn’t overly keen on the sauce but that’s personal preference. I cannot remember the name but a pastry with feta in them is a must try here. They do bring you complimentary bread and a lovely Turkish delight with the bill which is a nice touch.
I do wish we had a bit more space on the table as it was hard to share on a 2 person table but next time I’ll just ask to push two together.
Another nice touch of the place is the social upstairs. After dinner you can have a drink up there or play darts which is a great way to keep people in the restaurant and again the decor is stunning. A really nice hidden gem in Winchester
My only criticism is not having the service charge pointed out before I paid. Honestly I would have tipped as the waiter was lovely and everything was really nice (food and drinks) but I am a big believer in hi-lighting service charge so the customer can make up their own mind – especially as theirs is 12.5%.
All in all would recommend and look forward to going back to try their oysters.
Restaurant is decorated lovely and front of house every friendly.
The food was good and no extended waits for any course but the drinks service was terrible !
The waiting staff would clean tables , take away dirty plates with amazing efficiency but would attend our table , see empty glasses and never ask us if we wanted another ! It was really quite strange !
When we was first taken to our seat was the only time all night we was asked if we wanted a drink.
I’m not sure if it’s the way the staff are trained but surely when they see empty glasses and they are clearing our starters they should ask if we want another ..
When we raised this with the manager, the response was dismissive and he did not offer a solution, with the explanation that dinner portions are larger and more expensive. Unfortunately, this wasn’t communicated beforehand and felt poor value for money.
The food itself was fine, but the portion size and response left us feeling disappointed.
The response from the manager was nothing short of shocking.
I’d going I would avoid at lunch time.
Not quite 5 stars, staff were slightly aloof, although very polite and knowledgable. I ordered the mussels, and they were delicious, but I had no finger bowl or spoon for the sauce.
That being said, we left more than satisfied and with empty plates on our table.
We will be returning to Turkuaz soon.
