“ Really great experience. We had a mixture of hot and cold appetizers (delicious). I had the lamb kefka while my wife had a lamb stew (sorry, forgot to take a picture as everything was looking and smelling so wonderful). Overall a fantastic meal with great service. ”
“ Great Turkish restaurant in Cardiff! The staff and manager were really friendly and helpful. Even though I arrived at 3:20 PM after their usual lunch hours (which end at 3 PM) they kindly made an exception and let me order from the lunch menu, which is affordable. I had mercimek corbası (lentil soup) and lamb kofta with Turkish rice and salad. Everything was delicious! As is traditional in Turkish cuisine, they also served pide and a slice of lemon. All the dishes were served hot and fresh. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend their vegan Yaprak Sarması as an appetizer — it has a pomegranate sauce on it and tastes great. For the main course, I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes, while my husband tried the Guvec. Both dishes were excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and hospitable, and the service was prompt. ”
“ The food was great here but the service is what makes the experience! The waiters are so kind and attentive. We had complimentary bread, olives and hummus while we looked at the menu through the large variety of options! Will be returning soon ”
“ Travelled from Bristol to this restaurant and it was worth it!! Starters was really nice had a nice cold and hot meze, then followed an amazing mix grill which was full of flavour, the service was amazing. Metin and bilge was very accommodating and made us feel welcome start to finish. Highly recommend to come with family and friends. ”
“ Nice clean restaurant. Our server was Rezzan who did an excellent job with helping us out, we felt really welcomed. The lamb wasn’t chewy or stale and the rice was fluffy. Would 100% come back ”
“ I tried Turkish food for the first time ever, and I must say that the whole experience at Lezzet was the best decision. The customer service by Rez was excellent, he welcomed us with a smile and gave us complimentary starters and dessert at the end. He was super polite, guided the whole menu and gave us recommendations. The lamb kebabs were my favourite. Food, service by the whole staff and the ambience was a 10/10. Would definitely recommend! ”
“ The food here is absolutely delicious, came 2 days in a row and not once did we get disappointed. The customer service is bang on, the atmosphere is really lovely here. Definitely will come back once coming to Cardiff. ”
