294, 296 High St, Chatham ME4 4NR, United Kingdom
We come from the tradition of where many cultures are embraced from different cuisines under the one roof of Ottomans. What we provide is the combination of all those different cuisines blended in one with great taste and flavour
Food here is A* but I paid £32 for the meal in the picture, now I asked for a separate salad which I paid for and just got a large portion (considering I I had a large combination kebab). My wife is a vegetarian so I have to order extra salad you see. It happens ALL the time. To eat in 👍 to take away 👎
This restaurant is 1 of the best in Kent , good foods, nice restaurant like 5 star , fast and best service , I will recommend this restaurant to everyone who want go out to especially waiter Okan and yilmaz well, amazingly served so happy many thanks
Best Turkish restaurant around. Amazing food and brilliant service, can honestly not fault the restaurant one bit. Highly recommended!!
Stunning inside and out. The food is always delicious and the service is amazing! Please don’t ever change! You’re one of my favourite restaurants ❤️
Great tasty food , very friendly chatty staff , had set menu 2 and a dessert, definitely get money worth of food all nice and fresh
Had to give 5* to Taze as they are one of the best restaurants, I've dined at in Chatham. The food is so tasty, fresh and good value for money, with a wide variety of options. The staff are so friendly and attentive, can't fault the service in any way. The general look and atmosphere of the restaurant, is to a higher standard than most restaurants in Chatham, I honestly have had nothing but good experiences whilst dinning here. I will most definitely be a returning customer, and would recommend to everyone to try this place out, as I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Group meals are very much well-priced. Tasty food. In terms of service, it varies. Male waiters are polite. Female waiters not so much. I have visited this place a couple of times with my friends and usually have good experience with male waiters. That one time my partner and I went to just have a quick coffee and kunefe , one female server literally said to our faces “thats the only thing youre ordering???” And her eyebrow was raised too whilst saying those lines.
Amazing turkish food located at the end of Chatham high street. The food was absolutely top-tier and the meats were just amazing. They had such a smoky flavour which remained even after we took it home as we were unable to finish it all. We ordered the share platter for 4 and it was more then enough food for all of us. Our table was seated fairly close to the table next to us making it feel a little cramped and we only realised at the end of the meal that there was no card payments but other than that it was a divine meal. Very reasonable prices and gorgeous food.
Great food great service
Fantastic and authentic food, at last i have found a real turkish restaurant that is friendly and caring with a very good presentation of food delivered to my door Hot and on time, Well done Taze Meze Mangal Vegetarian options: Great selection of great vegi food
Very tasty turkish food, recomment the Chicken in yogurt , Friendly and Clean, definetly reccomend this restaurant to all
Delicious hot chocolate with cream! Food : 5/5
Great food,great attentive staff and good value for money
Just had a meal tonight, Lovely place the staff are very polite and the food was delicious me and my partner had chicken shish and lamb kofta with salad and bread. And a tea. Well worth a visit, will we be definitely going back. Five stars
Everything is wonderful and delicious
I came for an evening takeaway with my baby in tow. The service was amazing, the servers were extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. The quality of the food is equally as impressive. Highly recommended!
Very rude customer service
Food was superb , service was great as always. Okan & Yilmaz was happy and always ready to help. Definitely recommend others to try
Food not bad,stuff no good speak english Food very expensive For simple tea need pay In london turkish,kurdish restaurant tea is free.
Very good food nice meal even better then turkey Good service they are all very friendly and smiling appreciated , recommended Food
Great food best in the area
Seating area is not comfortable remains food is ok
Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. This must be the best restaurant in Chatham and in the top tier of Medway. It was recommended to me by an Uber driver and Ill be forever thankful as Ive not had such a great experience elsewhere. The starters (hummus, other dips, olive and bread) come for free if youre ordering certain set menus, and everything else is very reasonably priced. Ill definitely be returning! Kid-friendliness: Kids meal available
Absolutely ridiculous customer service experienced today. Ordered online 3 times before, the same driver has attended 3 times. I waited 1 hour 50 mins for my order and when the driver called to ask where my location was I was baffled and he seemed unsure of location?? The online order clearly show address details? If you can not understand online ordering or it s difficult to navigate that, then maybe not do it. Last week you forgot part of my order which I called up about. I won t be ordering from you again it s more hassle than it s worth. INRESPONSE TO TAZE REPLY The absolute lie, if there was any abusive language your driver would have refused delivery, and you would not have fulfilled the order. I have a witness in reception who can vouch that. If you lying makes it look better for your business, because it s embarrassing for you that s on you. Your driver admitted that you don t check all details on online order, and told me I should have written my address down twice in the notes box? Your problem & error! Take accountability, taking 1 hour and 50 mins to deliver food is not acceptable and the driver lying he didnt know location considering he has delivered twice before and you are around the corner!?? lol Train yourself on your customer service, its appalling.
Ordered a big delivery for film crew was super yummy & was ready for pick up - super friendly too. thank you !!
I found the Lahmacun I was looking for, thank you Food
Amazing Sea bass and amazing service.
Really poor in this place. I Order 2 kebabs no extra sauce come out with the main like it use to with added bread on the plates. Asked for another dip got charged £6 for this. Half of my chicken wasn t cooked I told the staff if they would have bothered to come over and ask how the food was they would see I hadn t eaten most of the chicken. Said she was busy. Bill came out and was charged for large meals when I didn t ask for large. To which she was telling me I didn t state what I wanted which she never asked. Really poor service. Any other restaurant wouldn t have charged you for raw meat!
good ! Food
There was so much food but it was all excellent. The service was a little slow but the poor man was all on his own upstairs for most of the time trying to serve everyone on a busy bank holiday evening. Parking: Church street car park is just over the road, it is fairly tricky to find with all the one ways but just over the road from the restaurant.
The most amazing experience, delightful food and first class service. I highly recommend!
The service and food was tremendous and the quality and taste was divine as well as a special thanks to Gigi for making this memorable experience even better.
Absolutely love this place. Food is always hot and fresh. If something is not right (so I think), the people that work there easily solve my queries. I am very fussy Highly recommend to those who adore Turkish cousine. 100% authentic Kid-friendliness: Very friendly, answer questions, give lollies
Great restaurant with fast and friendly service. The food is delicious and very warm, from the bread and dips to the meat and chips. The ribs are some of the nicest Ive had!
Very Nive !!
Always very helpful and great quality food. Always buying the chicken wings. Buy a lot of their seasoned bread on my way past to eat with home curries and it s delicious. Lovely staff who brighten up this end of an awful high street. Parking: You can park for a few minutes to pick up food and there are two spaces in the loading bay outside the nearby (10m) pub.
Fantastic
Thank you very much for everything. Your Turkish coffee and Turkish baklava are excellent.
Great food. Lovely staff. Reasona le prices. Whats not to like? Highly recommended .
Lovely every time
Wonderful and authentic tukish cusine. Special thanks to Yilmaz and Gigi for the service.
I have been to many turkish restaurants, This is by far the best!!! Attentive staff nicely decorated interior 10000% recommend
Great food good atmosphere friendly staff
Food is lovely, the staff are so hospitable! The card machine wasn t working but gave us the option to bank transfer as we did not have cash. Would definitely recommend and come back again!
A friend and I had a meal here on a Monday evening. Good service to start off with but we were only half way through our starter when the main course was served. Consequently it was luke warm when we started to eat it. When we finished the waitress told us they only accepted cash which was a bit disturbing. We were told we could walk along the high street to a cash machine. It turns out they do take cards but cant do chip and pin. We felt we had been rushed.
Food always good.,but The staff must have changed because we were served by an unfriendly woman who didnt let us go to the top floor, she said that the top floor opens only in the evening (although we visit this restaurant often and never had a problem with that, we always managed to go upstairs and didnt have to wait for the evening), but this time it everything was different . But you know that we were disappointed the most! after an hour, the girls came and she allowed them to go upstairs, so the employee lied to us, ... and all the actions took place at 12pm , .
Very good food. Prices are moderately high but not too bad. Very good and friendly people. Food
Its decent Turkish food at very reasonable price.
Yilmaz and the team couldnt have been more helpful when arranging and providing lunches for a womens arts project I was running nearby. Everything was fresh, tasty and affordably priced. All the participants went home happy and full saying theyd pay the restaurant a visit individually another time!
Firstly, the bread was delicious. The grilled chicken wings were tasty. A few items on the platter couldve done with a little more seasoning. But overall was a good meal, and I will definitely be back.
Delicious food, nice place
Calm, peaceful and pleasant environment. The friendly staff makes the food even more delicious.
Nice place. Was pretty quiet when I visited on a Sunday evening. I had a small kofte kebab which was actually a very nice portion and was very tasty. It came with a portion of bread and a salad.
Visited here on Saturday and sat upstairs. We had starters and main meals and was in and out in 45 mins. The starter came out, which was lovely, then whilst we were still eating, the main came out. My friend still had the fork in her mouth when they took the main plates away at the end. Very quick and felt very rushed. Sadly, that has put us off returning. Parking: Pay to park
Im so glad and grateful for this amazing opportunity to dine at the Taze Restaurant. What striked me the most, was the excellent level of service. The staff was very kind. Food was also splendid. Vegetarian options: Amazing falafel
Amazing food. Very reasonable price. Great service. Will definitely return
I cant fault it, staff are lovley
Been using these guys for years and I have to say the take away has gone down hill. Portions have 100% got smaller whilst the price has increased. Foods still great but poor value unfortunately
Everyone must go to this restaurant to have a delicious food and service. Many thanks for your hospitality Recommended dishes
Best service and such a nice food,Absolutely best restaurant a town we will come back soon
Ordered an £85 delivery for 6:15, attempted food delivery at 2:30 which I refused as was for an evening meal. After calling to check that the order will be freshly done and assured it will be. This was absolutely just kept warm and most of it inedible including the lamb which was just so fatty and chewy and to top it off some of the order missing which they did rectify an hour later. Will definitely not use again nor recommend!
Food is good but atmosphere is not good
First time coming eating here food was really good however we waited a little while before food arrived. One of the waiters, the guy with the pony tail was extremely helpful with explanation and looked after me and my friends. I will definitely be coming back but maybe before busy times
Delicious food
Best turkish food in the UK, not exaggerating, almost better than what I had in Istanbul. Meat was all cooked beautifully with a wonderfully smoky taste, bread and dips were amazing too.
Delicious food. Large portions. Ibrahim was very friendly as were all the staff. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting. 10/10 xx Kid-friendliness: Friendly and kind staff
My fave Meze in Medway. The team are fab, the best menu. I love it so much, we have been for the past 2 Xmas days too.
We came as a group to eat at Taze and this is really down to the great food and great atmosphere. Even though we arrived with out a booking we was greeted with a nice welcome and the staff was extremely friendly . Especially the lovely lady and the guy that was upstairs was really helpful in explaining the food to us . We will definitely be coming back thank you to all the staff 10/10
Highly recommend perfect food
Nice nice and good service
Went to Taze for a birthday iftar as 4 adults, a toder and newborn. We had amazing food and excellent service. Good food portion sizes and the mocktails were delicious. The staff were friendly and the young male waiter in particular (sorry we didnt ask your name) was very approachable and professional. They acommodate children well, provided a high chair if needed and seated us at a more convenient table for space and comfort. Many thanks for making our experience a positive one
Amazing food and staff
Ok
One of the best meals I ve ever had. Reallyyyy good service for me I was shocked I m used to having to wait ages (they had my order ready as soon as I walked in) and the food was so delicious and fresh the Lachmacun(excuse my spelling) did not disappoint Generous portions which match the price. I m so shocked the place isn t rammed every weekend because more people need to be at Taze Restaurant. I must order from here again
The best Turkish restaurant in Kent by far.... extremely high quality food and great service, you must try it.
Poor food, Chicken was very overcooked, possibly recooked. Dry and crusty. Lamb had many gristly tough pieces. The waitress and cook came out after I started my meal to tell me to give half of my lamb portion to my friend as they had not given him enough and me too much. Coffee was only warm. Wouldnt take electronic payments over £100. Not a pleasant experience. Best to avoid this restaurant!
Disappointed by my recent visit to Taze, which I chose based on its Trip Advisor ratings. The ambiance felt more akin to a cafe than the upscale Turkish restaurant I anticipated, detracting from the dining experience. The service left much to be desired; our waitress seemed disengaged and uninterested in her role, impacting the overall atmosphere negatively. Culinary-wise, the dishes were mediocre, and a noticeable lapse in service occurred when we were asked to rectify an error with our order by swapping food items amongst ourselves hardly the standard one expects. Additionally, the absence of butter for the rice, a staple in Turkish cuisine, and the insistence on a peculiar contactless payment limit that contradicted the total bill, only added to the frustration. The only saving grace was food was served relatively quickly. One final thing, there was no parking outside so you need to pay for parking a few minutes away and walk in. In summary, Taze fell short of the high expectations set by previous Turkish dining experiences, both in terms of service and culinary delight.
I always come with family the workers are so welcoming and the food service is fantastic overall this is the best Turkish restaurant you can eat In
This restaurant is very good, and good foods
Every time I come here the service is brilliant, humble people, scrumptious food. Bright lights tasteful cocktails. I highly recommend!!..
Good service friendly atmosphere. Food was great as always Vegetarian options: Had vegetarian options on the menu Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access to downstairs seating area
Ordered here for years but there is always something wrong with the order Shame coz food is good but defo need to sort out who answers the phone. Food
Delicious food, but Kunefe is not very good (there is too much cheese)
Food was incredible, absolutely amazing Grilled to perfection. The staff here is friendly and makes it a welcoming experience. Overall, the service is excellent! Food
So far the best restaurant in turkish food/kebab category in medway area. Love going there for charming environment, good food and reasonable price. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility at ground floor
I enjoyed the delicious lunch at Taze. I like trying different foods and this one today was uniquely prepared accompanied by excellent customer service. Food
Great food and service and a good atmosphere. Cash only.
Food okay,good portions for price. You have to pay cash only. It would be nice to have some female waiters.
Very good service and food, would definitely return. Their bakery next door had baklava and pastries which were exceptional.
Efficient & friendly service
They didnt really understand allergies so wouldnt recommend to go with allergic people.
Always excellent
Went on my birthday! Food was really good and plenty of it!
Big dishes, delicious food
Good cuisine at a good price.
Superb. Staff are attentive, food is absolutely amazing. Only thing that may put people off is the downstairs canteen style but upstairs is fine. I have been to all the Turkish restaurants in Medway and this one is definitely one of the best in terms of staff and food. I cant wait to go again!
Lovely and stunning place to eat, my 1st time and its hidden gem. Good food and nice staff.
Food was really good and fresh, especially chicken shish, beautifully charcoaled from outside and tender from inside. Service was excellent too. We were offered complementary tea for some polite reason.
Great service with a smile, the waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious especially the Pide. Very flavoursome and generous portions. Ordered one slice of cake for dessert and it was huge! Enough for 2 people. I would definitely recommend eating here.
The food and the service was terrible
Best restaurant Ive been in for a long time the service the cleanliness the staff was top notch and I cant forget about the taste out of this world from the starter to desert phenomenal. (Highly recommended) Top restaurant
Very tasty, cultural and harmonious environment, they forgot to bring our bread lol but that was ok, everything was delicious
Good food and plenty of it Mmmm
Lovely experience the food was delicious and the staff very friendly and professional. Thank you
last week i went there for the last time. I really like the food there, but their prices are already ungodly expensive
Ok but food not as good as it used to
Such amazing food been loads an will go back loads
Place itself is beautifull. I have been Taze with my family they have looked after us well. I love this place. Thank you guys.
Ate here for the 1st time yesterday. Lovely clean restaurant, amazing food and great, friendly service. Prices very reasonable too. Will definitely be going back
I adore coming to this restaurant. Delicious, outstanding food. Very nice staff, polite and always happy to help. I think its one of the best and most authentic turkish cuisines here in medway. I definetely would recommend to everyone who enjoys good quality dining.
Amazing staff and great place to eat
Meals ordered came out totally different, greasy, tasteless and mashed potatoes ( didn t ask for this). Will be returning to Selale for a good Turkish menu with lots of taste.
Turkish cuisine is a delightful fusion of flavors and traditions. From succulent kebabs to vibrant meze and heavenly baklava, its a culinary journey that captivates the senses. Dont miss out on this gastronomic adventure that will leave you craving for more! #TurkishCuisine #FoodieHeaven Kid-friendliness: Turkish cuisine is generally quite kid-friendly, making it a great choice for families. Many dishes feature simple, familiar flavors that children enjoy, such as grilled meats, rice, and yogurt. Popular options like köfte (meatballs) and chicken kebabs are not only delicious but also easy for kids to handle. Additionally, Turkish cuisine offers a variety of vegetarian options, including flavorful vegetable stews and stuffed vine leaves, which can cater to different dietary preferences. Restaurants in Turkey often welcome families warmly, providing high chairs and accommodating seating arrangements. Turkish cuisines communal dining style also allows for sharing and tasting a variety of dishes, which can be an engaging experience for children. Moreover, the abundance of fresh fruits, including juicy watermelons and sweet cherries, serves as refreshing treats during the hot Turkish summers. From the flavorful kebabs to the delightful desserts, Turkish cuisine has something to please every palate, including those of younger diners. With its diverse and accessible menu options, Turkish cuisine offers a wonderful dining experience that families can enjoy together.
Best Turkish in Medway
Very friendly
Best kebab in town Everything was fresh and hot thanks guys Food
Came here for the first time thought wed give it a try even though we are not local, the food was excellent and despite a glitch would definitely recommend just for the excellent way Yilmaz dealt with us, he couldnt apologise and do enough to keep us happy, top grade customer service from him, you couldnt ask for more. Give it a try they dont even have an additional service charge on the bill. We will definitely be going back.
The food is brilliant and cooked with the right spices. The only thing I found that ruined the time there was people vaping/smoking .. I understand it is outside, but in a family gathering, that should be eliminated. Other than that I would recommend this restaurant
Great food
Food was excellent, friendly service
Lovely staff, friendly, caring and attentive. They even remembered us from our last visit. Such a wonderful caring vibe. The food is amazing beautifully flavourful and freshly prepared
Delicious food by takeaway, will definitely order again! Very generous portions and great service. Highly recommend Taze. Vegetarian options: Vegetable moussaka was delicious and very generous portion. Lots of options in general for non-meat eaters (as well as meat eaters).
If I could give this restaurant a 0 star I would. From when I entered with my family (I had a double pram) the lady who served us had a poor attitude and talked to us like we was an inconvenience. I tried to look past that because I thought maybe she was having a bad day. We were finally placed outside that was was attached to the restaurant. Upon getting outside a group of 3 ppl entered with a dog ( not a guide dog) another family had complained about the dog but this was dismissed. After that we all carried on dining then a member of staff brought the dog water in bowl whilst customers ate with their kids. Upon seeing that we were disgusted. Furthermore In the outdoor dining area there was at least 4 babies, the people from the table started to smoke and when politely asked they looked up and said they were outside, would not stop smoking and were very rude about it. I tried to speak to staff but he told them he can smoke. At this point the food came and the it was below par and due to the poor service and bad food we left promptly. I would say avoid at all costs terrible service with terrible food. I will also be reporting them to the local council
Everything about this place is outstanding. The food is incredible. Vegetarian options: Imam bayildi. Translated this dish means the Imam fainted. The story says that in history the Imam tried this dish for the first time and past out from overwhelming delight, hence the name. Its my go to veggie dish every visit.
It s the best restaurant in the town nice food good quality service and good atmosphere for family and friends!
The food is excellent and so is the service would highly recommend Kid-friendliness: Excellent Food : 5/5 |
The Food s lovely and serv ce ls great would highly recommend
Verry good service and happy to help customer also the food are verry tasty iam verry happy when iam going there BIG THANK YOU. Food
Not bad but not great either. All in all an average experience. Ive eaten here before, many years ago. Back then the food was better & likewise the service. In fact when the restaurant was in its original location (next door) & was a small restaurant, the food was spectacular. It feels to me as the owners have become complacent after years of success in their trade. Credit where its due in respect of their success in an extremely difficult market, BUT dont become complacent & let your standards drop. Also be prepared before you visit to pay in cash only. They have signs up on the walls however we only noticed them when finalising our order. Thankfully though, given the location of the restaurant there are many ATMs available. Also a note to the owners. Charging £3 for a jug of tap water is a disgrace. I requested a jug of tap water with some ice. Your staff placed 3-4 ice cubes in the jug (no lemon), but yet your waiter insisted on Charging £3 for a jug of tap water. This left a very bitter taste in my mouth (not literally).
My waiter who called himself echo was soo charming and funny and made my whole experience all the better and I really felt spoilt and well taken care of. Wonderful staff and amazing food
Was an all-round awesome experience. Courteous staff, properly cooked three course meal and served neatly. Would definitely recommend Parking: Parked in nearby Brooks multi-storey parking and walked don Kid-friendliness: Had a high chair for infant and different cutlery for toddlers Wheelchair accessibility: The top part isn t wheelchair accessible but the bottom part is big and oo
Lovely service, we ordered for an event and they were very accommodating and helpful. Everyone loved the food and enjoyed it.
Its a restaurant that I found on Google and went to when I was in the area for a short business trip, and then I continue to go. Its a very decent restaurant with good presentation and taste, accompanied by the smiling face and helpfulness of the staff...
Excellent food, great service, would definitely recommend Kid-friendliness: Highchair available, kid-friendly staff Food : 5/5 |
Always good food! I have been going there for a long time ! Friendly service, friendly people! What else.
Unbeatable customer service and great food/atmosphere. They are so friendly and hospitable they even refused a tip!
Great food and staff
Would recommend the place. Delicious food and friendly staff. Overall very happy with our visit.
Cash only

Great employees, excellent food, fresh and delicious, bosses who offer solutions for everything, thank you all.
My daughter and I had wonderful meals and were welcomed with a smile, thank you.
Nice food. I tried the lentil soup, spinach pide and chips.
Lovely Turkish Restaurant and great service.
Great food. Good price and friendly staff. Need I say anymore.
My favourite Turkish in Chatham! I always get the 2 person meal, cold meze with fresh handmade bread, chicken, lamb shish, kofte and ribs with rice and salad. Stunning food and excellent service, they know me well and they are always professional. Update: still banging. Couple of awesome cocktails, great presentation
Good Turkish restaurant economical place to eat
Best Turkish restaurant on the cosmos and I know my stuff having lived in Turkey for many years. God I miss my Turkish wife she kept the house in excellent order and was an amazing cook as well. However we must move on in life and this certainly isn t the forum to be discussing such things. I really do apologise. Good food- thank you.
Food is great
Absolutely amazing experience
Turkey restaurant Delicious Food Waiters kindly Service quickly Food : 5/5 |

Tastiest and most authentic Turkish food around.
My faves
Very expensive
The best Turkish restaurant in Medway, delicious food,very clean,friendly staff,hihgly recommend this awesome restaurant.
Its been over 4 years, and still, their card machine is out of service. You have to pay by cash. Service is not great either.
Pure Perfection on a Plate.
Best Turkish restaurant recommend for everyone
Outstanding restaurant and family friendly. Ekrem is always happy to go above and beyond. Great waiter and always has time to have a chat with customers 10/10 Food is freshly prepared and tastes amazing. Would reccomend to friends and family. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent food and service. The daily dish with lamb and aubergine is so delicious.
Delicious Turkish food with amazing staff!
Sat in the kitchen area when asked for the first floor on booking, was advised too cold but later other guests were taken up there. Fluorescent lighting horrible, no service as such, after order taken no check ins on the food or to take further drinks order. Table cleared with no words or eye contact, not asked if further drinks or dessert wanted so we asked for the bill eventually. Hadnt clocked the cash only signs at all, before taking the order they should make this clear so you have a chance to get cash before the end of the meal. Not great to have to walk out to a cashpoint in this dodgy part of the high street late at night. All in, wont be back despite the food actually being OK, atmosphere and service is no stars really.
Lovely lunch in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere...I would recommend!
Doesn t accept cash, which we didn t know until we were going to pay, they said they have put up signs and asked us to go get money from atm nearby. Food was okay, we asked for some water and they didn t give it to us ,we had to ask again. Overall okayish. Food : 3/5
Great good, friendly staff, love it here.
Nice people
