As visitors to Canterbury we looked up top restaurants in TripAdvisor and ALaTurka came in the top 10 out of more than 250. Turkish food is high up (if not top) of our favourites list so we made a booking and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend.
Been to the Herne Bay restaurant and really enjoyed the meal, Canterbury being nearer to us we tried it, delicious food, friendly helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere, bonus weather was good so ate in the garden. Definitely recommend
Had a late afternoon meal with friends it was laid out for a large party who fortunately arrive just as we left. Staff very helpful as I have mobility issues, we sat outside on the rear terrace and were very fortunate to have a warm sunny evening. Only soft drinks as I was driving, but the food was delicious as it is in their other venues. Well presented and freshly prepared as we could see as we passed the open plan kitchen on our way to the rear of the property.
Very cool well decorated restaurant at the Westgate of Canterbury, with dining inside, outside the front and the rear of the restaurant with the rear also having a sliding roof.
The food was very good, I had the mixed kebab that cost £25, it's not cheap bordering expensive, but it's worth it if it's a treat or special occasion.
The staff are very nice, polite and helpful.
Nice atmosphere.
The toilet could have been cleaner.
What an amazing meal! The staff were so attentive and the food was amazing. It can be pricey but you pay for what you get which is great food, huge portions and amazing service! It made our date night out before The Marlowe even better. Cannot wait to return!!
What an amazing place! Exceptionally friendly service - and the food is fresh, colourful and soo tasty. Just one warning: the portions are very big. Lovely, welcoming atmosphere without loud music so you can actually have a conversation.
I loved this restaurant. The staff there was really lovely I don’t remember her name but she was my best friend that night she complimented my hair and earrings and joined in with the groups banter. The food was so good I felt really full I couldn’t finish it all.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at A La Turka, and I was very impressed with the overall experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was romantic and perfect for a date.
I ordered the Chicken sarma beyti, which is a chargrilled seasoned minced chicken wrapped in lavash bread with cheese and parsley, drizzled with melted butter, topped with tomato sauce & served with creamy yoghurt, rice or bulgur. The dish was presented beautifully, and it was perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the lavash bread was crispy and flaky. The cheese and parsley added a nice creaminess and freshness to the dish, and the tomato sauce was tangy and flavorful. The creamy yoghurt, rice, and bulgur were all delicious accompaniments.
The service at A La Turka was also excellent. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She was able to answer all of our questions and help us choose dishes that we would enjoy.
The atmosphere at A La Turka is romantic and perfect for a date. The restaurant is dimly lit and decorated with traditional Turkish décor.
We paid around £70-£80 in total for our meal, which we felt was very reasonable given the quality of the food and service.
I recommend A La Turka to locals & visitors outside of Canterbury. It is a great place to go for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect.
Only thing I would suggest is the music selection to be Turkish music
Food was good. Portion was bigger than I had expected, so i had some for takeaway. I love how they served the meal with a big salad on the house. It wasn't just any salad, but a very good mix with pomegranate molasses, very tasty. Staff were very welcoming too.
The foods are great , staff is friendly as well. Overall, it’s a good restaurant to enjoy delicious food and have good times with friends.
Came here for dinner with my husband. Food portions decent size and very tasty. Would come again and recommend to others. Service slow at beginning but after that was fine.I
Almost a shame we weren't going home so I could take my moussaka home! A solutely fabulous food! Staff are really nice.
