Ordered the family platter.
Decent sized portions.
The room was a little tiny so was not as comfortable but not too shabby.
A little on the pricier side.
Also no dedicated parking spots
Cash only transactions, they don't take card.
Nice food, great service.
Portion sizes were really good for the price. Overall food was nice. Just needed a bit more of spice, though the sauces do add to the overall flavour. Overall really good experience.
Two noteworthy points, they have a pray area and the meat is HMC approved.
Elaf Not the first time I have been there, which clearly indicates that the food is good. Additionally, the service is always excellent, and the owner personally makes the effort to come and greet us at the table to ensure that we are all comfortable and well taken care of. Many people do like their meal spicy, but Turkish cuisine is not spicy; instead, it is more about tastes and grilled meats. Although they will try their best if you want spice.
We ordered rice with Kobeda and chicken tikka with humus. It was bland if you don't take sauces with it.
Been few times to Elaf and at each visit i have never been disappointed. Food is always cooked to perfection n tastes delicious. Service is always good 👍 and food portions are excellent 👌 loved everything.
A lot better than I expected.
Good quality food presented in its unique way.
Staff were very friendly.
JazakAllah Khair to the owner Nadir for accommodating us and being very hospitable.
May Allah give you immense barkaat in your business.
Food was amazing, we had a grand platter that was such a delight fed 5 of us till we were about to burst. It was delicious, meat was succulent and it is presented beautifully with so many great options. Highly recommended. Seating is quite cramped and cosy but the food is worth it.
Lovely restaurant in blackburn with very tasty food. Only major negative, which is the reason for taking off one star, is they do not accept cards all the time (i have been twice and the first time despite having a sign which said cash only, they said they accepted card, and the second time i assumed would be the same, but was actually cash only, and it wasnt because the machine wasnt working, apparently they have certain days whoch are cash only, but seems a bit random from a decent restaurant to not accept card).
However, the food is absolutely spot on, i really enjoyed the kobedas and the qabli qulau, they make you understand what "succulent" juicy meat is.
The naans are fresh and lovely. And the sauces also really add to the meal. Overall very impressed.
We tried both the kanafe and the baclava, i have to say i didnt enjoy the kanafe as much as i have in other places, but maybe that is just my taste, but i really enjoyed the baclava.
Plenty parking around the streets nearby, withing a few seconds walk.
Overall, will definitely be coming again, but will clarify beforehand if they accept card on that day or not.
Recommended by a friend for this place. And needless to say, a wonderful experience. Everything was freshly made and served well. Dessert and then tea in the end were wow too. Would definitely recommend visiting when in Blackburn.
Owner is very kind and helpful, service is excellent, food is excellent and restaurant is very clean inside with working hand sanitizer which is really imporant.
The Food was nice and hot and the taste was very very nice.
