Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

used to like it but am now boycotting it after its sister branch in Bold St doesn't allow solo diners. Greed at its finest. Cram as many tables in as possible and don't even allow prams or wheelchairs. This is definitely not Turkish hospitality as...they are family oriented people. This is pure greed. Also the male staff stare uncomfortably at females.More

Popped here for Saturday afternoon lunch whilst on break for work. Yet again service and food was impeccable. Had the chickpea and aubergine (think it’s called Iman Bauldi) to start which comes with lots of lovely Turkish bread to mop it up with. I then...had a recommendation off the waitress which was Lamb in a type of bread with cheese and came with rice. Portion size was fantastic as was the quality and it also come with a lovely crunchy side salad. £12.95 for 2 course … what’s not to like. Be back soon 👍More

I enjoyed one of the best meals ever at Elif. The salmon was delicious and the sauce was superb. The server was friendly and efficient. Everything I tasted was perfect. I highly recommend this lovely Turkish barbecue restaurant and will definitely return.

My son took me for my birthday meal, I have been there many times and food has always been lovely. I ordered Lamb shank cant tell you how disappointed I was it was tasteless and very soft no texture to it, in a watery tomato...sauce, I felt it had been just boiled. The meal my son ordered from the Charcoal grill was delicious (he gave me a taste) so it wasn’t all bad. And the dog enjoyed what I took home! the bone and the meat I didn’t eat.More

We had a variety of dishes from the lunchtime offer (extended till late into the afternoon) and was not disappointed! From grilled fish to the lamb shank and kofta everything was spot on ! I visited the lark lane branch last in 2016 and glad...the standards have kept up while keeping the prices competitive ! Only gripe was one the waiters (short guy with distinctively short tie) was quite rude as I’d told him we were waiting for parties in the bathroom, so didn’t want to order just yet. Then just ignored us all afternoon like we’d insulted him and had to call for another waiter, yet was happy chappy around other tables!More

Got a table for two as a walk-in after waiting. Worth it. The baba ganouche (they call it something else) was extraordinary: the texture of taramasolata with a delicious smoky taste of aubergine. Falafels were not dry and came with delicious hummus. A warm aubergine...starter was delicious. Bread was freshly prepared and excellent. The thing here seems to be kebabs and my daughter has a vegetarian version which she enjoyed. My lamb kebabs were slightly over cooked - still juicy (though well done) when they arrived but drying out as you eat them. Maybe they could offer a “medium done” version. The char in the meat was great and I still enjoyed it, served with rice and an excellent side salad. Service was very good and the staff were working at some pace in this packed restaurant. The ambience is super cosmopolitan with many nationalities and languages spoken. It’s a cool place… an option for slightly less well done meat would make it perfect!More

Excellent food... Top quality chicken. Good service Reasonable priced The Haloumi starter, 3 pieces was odd, normally comes in 4 pieces... A little cheeky for the price.

We popped in for lunch after a stroll around Sefton Park, food was delicious and really good value from the lunchtime menu (2 courses for £12.95). Portions were much larger than we expected for the price and the quality was superb. We were serviced by...two waitresses who were polite and efficient. If we lived closer, I think we'd quickly become regular diners.More
