The Ottoman Kitchen

Not to its normal standards of service again tonight. Wait staff didn't fully understand the menu, or what was/wasn't available, meaning choices had to be changed. Also, very quick to clear plates off the table, even asking to take plates that still had food on them. Food was delicious as always which is a plus, considering the under par swevice standards. This is an unusual drop in their high standards, and I just hope it's not due to taking good staff to the new site in town, leaving the original location compromised

I have been a regular customer of the Ottoman kitchen in Northampton ever since they opened and I must say that it is one of the best Turkish restaurants in the area. The BBQ foods are simply amazing, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to experience authentic Turkish cuisine in Northampton."

The Ottoman Kitchen is beautifully decorated with a nice atmosphere inside. However, the restaurant is not very large and the tables are very very close to each other. The food was amazing, after you order they bring you bread, sauces and a salad to share which states on the menu is complimentary. Our mains were delicious, very flavourful food and quite large portions. Despite this, I would still consider their prices a little too high. The Service was fine, when you walking it’s very unclear as to where you’re supposed to stand or if someone is meant to meet you to show you to your table, we ended up just walking to the bar and a lady helped us. All the floor staff just seemed very unhappy and stressed, and honestly we felt like a bit of a burden to them for asking for anything. Overall, definitely a must in northampton to eat at. The food is really delicious with a wide variety, I would just improve the service and perhaps don’t put the tables so close together.
