Fantastic Sunday lunch at Ilbays. 2 courses for £11.95 is great value.
The hummus was so flavoursome and was great with Turkish bread and the tasty sucuk. The slow cooked lamb came out piping hot with tasty mash, Yorkie pud and veggies. The Beyti Sarma was beautiful and herby with a fresh addition of yoghurt.
Would definitely visit again and would also consider getting food delivered.

10 of us had a fabulous meal out in Ilbsys for my birthday. All the meals were so delicious & the service was just fantastic with the best advice on the dishes we wanted to choose, she knew everything. Thanks for all your help & brilliant service. I even got a decorated Happy Birthday plate with a slice of choolate cake mmmm. Thank you to the chefs, the fab service by everyone and for a great night! We will be back 😃

First time visiting Ilbays, wanted to try it for years and I was definitely not disappointed. I went with my Mam and a friend and I can honestly say this was some of the best Turkish food I've ever tried. Very tasty, huge portions and great value for money. A real treat and I would recommend here to anyone.
The staff couldn't have been friendlier, really comfortable and nice to talk to and have a bit of a laugh, they make you feel very welcome and wanted when you're eating there. I will definitely be coming back many more times. Also amazing to see they do takeaways so I may be treating myself more often 😊
