Exceptional all round. We had a fantastic meal here celebrating a joint birthday with a table of 20. All of the food was delicious and packed with flavour. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service was top tier. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

We took dad to mahzen for his 70th birthday food was amazing staff were amazing and the atmosphere was the best, we sung happy birthday and the whole restaurant applauded him which was very moving as we almost lost dad to a heart attack in aug 2023! Thank you for a great evening, we travelled from London to Ipswich for the night too! Highly recommend this restaurant!

I came here a few weeks ago with my work team. I had the swordfish, it was amazing! Lots of choice on the menu. Cater well for those who are gluten free/vegan as well! Those who are driving will need to pay to park in the car park across the road.

OMG! The best, best Turkish food we’ve ever had! The Guvec, king prawns to die for, and the barbecued sea bass were absolutely incredible! Chef’s spices on the sea bass were subtle, yet distinctive and totally memorable! We’re coming back to Ipswich and we’ll definitely be eating here again! Recommend !!!

Both the food and the service here was fantastic. The attention to detail from Kerry was second-to-none. The food was excellent; the lamb extremely tender and the chicken beautifully succulent. The prices are more than reasonable at less than 5 a pint and 15 - 20 per course. The hot meze is ideal to feed two as a starter, and at 20, represents good value in my opinion.
