A real gem of a restaurant- small and personal, smells great when you walk in. Staff are friendly and attentive and the food is excellent and good value. We have eaten here on numerous occasions over the years and never been disappointed.

We ate at the Mangal on Sat 3rd. We had Mix Mezi starter, lamb and Chicken mains with Rice and Salad, Bottle of Ephesus White Wine. All the food was well cooked and presented. Service was a little erratic but enthusiastic. The bill was for...£55:50. This restaurant has a CASH ONLY policy. Fortunately not a problem for us on the night, It would seem reasonable to advise customers on booking to prevent problems. —- Paul Reynolds.More
5 friends having evening meal. Greeted with smiles by all staff. Waitress was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable when we asked about mixed mezze starter & wine. Food was served promptly, very fresh, tasty & plentiful. Really good evening. Would definitely recommend.
Booked for 11 people and we all had various meals including chicken skewers, chicken wings, lamb skewers, olives, chilli sauces, Turkish bread, and everything was perfect. Drinks of beers , shorts, white wine and soft drinks were enjoyed. Will definitely go again.
Went as a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. We were all disappointed. The service was slow although the restaurant wasn’t busy. The mixed hot Meze was over cooked - difficult to differentiate what vegetables were in the black slimy vegetable mixture. The breaded...mushrooms were cold. Not only that but the other starters were barely warm. Waited ages for our main course which were again barely warm when they were served. So disappointing! Won’t be returning.More
I moved recently to the neighborhood, and to be honest, I went there this evening just because it was convenient (near my home), but I had a big surprise. The food was amazing, We had the chicken kebab. the seasoning of the chicken was perfect...(so the way they cooked: it - the chicken was juicy and tender) and the rice remembered my grandmother's (I could it without the meat). I am definitely going back.More
Wonderful little restaurant in our town. Felt very homely and the staff were very helpful, friendly, fast and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. The food - wow is all I can say! It was delicious and definitely worth the trip if you’re ever in...the area or you are local to Syston. We will definitely be repeat customers for sure.More
Was a little apprehensive given some of the recent reviews. Four of us had the mixed grill each - it was delicious. The bread was warm and fluffy. We were attended to quickly by a very friendly server. Based on tonight, would thoroughly recommend.
Always amazing! Love coming here or getting a takeaway, always great food and friendly service. Looking forward to my next visit 😀
Was a decent place a few years ago but now I didn't even bother ordering. Basically left standing for 5mins, ghen when given a table was left with no drinks a menu dropped in front of me and my wife then sat there for a...further 15 minutes with no service. No excuse... got up and left only on the way out seen 2-3 members of staff sat drinking or o a phone . Sorry...... not returning.More
We've visited many times over the last few years. And it's getting worse each time. Today was probably the last visit. We ordered the lamb shish (Grilled lamb pieces) and pilic shish (Grilled chicken breast). Ezme dip and chips with the lamb and chicken rather...than the rice & side salad that normally comes with it. Why? Because the salad is always warm, because of how they pack it. And the rice is never great - like microwave packet rice. Well - the chips weren't a better alternative. Nice and chunky, but no taste and inside was powdery. Not fluffy. The chicken was dry and tasted very bland. The lamb was AWFUL. Incredibly tough - I needed a steak knife. And on top of it, had no taste at all. I have been to Turkish, Greek and other restaurant cuisines all over the country - as well as in those in the native countries, and mangal is just a very poor attempt at Turkish cuisine. The menu is getting shorter each time we see it, prices are going up and quality is dropping each time. The two stars are because they always get the order right and the customer service is good. But still not worth the time or money.More
The food and service was greet and I had a great time over there with the authentic Turkish music that plays on the background.
Ordered 2 kebabs that arrived with no pitta bread. Halloumi portion was very small (3 mouthfuls for £5) and the salad was small and looked about a week old (it went straight in the bin). I did call the restaurant and they did deliver the...pitta bread and an extra portion of halloumi but 20 minutes after the original delivery. Paid a total of £35 for 2 kebabs, halloumi, 1 portion of chips and 2 cans of Coke. Overpriced and disappointing. Delivery was also estimated to be between 30-50 minutes but we waited well over an hour.More
Never left a bad review but this really got me mad. Paid 31.50 for a mix platter which was over cooked the lamb chicken even the minced meat was tough. You lot should be mad embaressed with yourselves and I never wanted to try your...food because the shop front looks waste. Now I know the foods wack too. My Turkish mates would slap you lot up if they seen the crap your serving fix up you neeks. We work hard for money clearly you do not. XxxMore
We previously had a lovely delivery from this restaurant (about 4-5 months back) so decided to reorder the exact same meal. When it turned up, albeit late, the food was mostly cold, the kebabs were cold to the centre. The meal also came with no...dips despite it being a mixed platter and the previous time it having dips. I called to explain this to the restaurant as the platter was dry without dips, and I was subjected to an overly defensive woman on the other end of the phone. I wasn’t rude and just asked if some dips could be sent out which she stated was not possible as the mixed platter “doesn’t come with dips/sauces”. I explained that the picture on Uber eats for this dish even has the dips on, and we have been mislead otherwise we would have ordered them as extra. She refused to take any responsibility for this, and said it would be unfair for me to leave a bad review. I never leave reviews but this woman’s passive aggressive attitude really offended me and was completely unnecessary and would have been so easily resolved. What happened to the customer being right? I’ve attached a photo to prove this was what was advertised.More
