“ The best Turkish in Stevenage without a doubt. The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly. I'll also sometimes visit Tarla just for drinks, easily the best cocktails in town. I always feel cheeky asking for a table just for drinks, but the staff are always so accommodating and happy to host. I've never had a bad experience here, couldn't recommend enough. ”
“ Just had a delicious meal at Tarla Turkish Restaurant. I had a king prawn dish served with rice, mixed peppers and salad, he had the Lamb shank, which were both delicious! He said, there was a lot of meat, and it was so tender, it fell off the bone. They gave us bread n dips to start, and Turkish delight selection and a lemoncello complimentary. The service was so friendly, and attentive. It was very clean and nicely decorated. It was a luvly sunny day, they immediately sat us in the window, where half of it is open, very nice. We will definitely be returning soon, there are lots of other things we would like to try on the menu, thank you so much guys, see you soon. ”

“ Just a wonderfull place, we were in for a little chat and one of the owner just took the time. For the rest of the meal people were very friendly and helpful. The interior is great even the toilets were clean and cosy. The food was just awesome, we had the hot mezze and a grill with different meats. Best meat I've had in a very long time (especially the lamb ribs). An absolute must-try when you are in the neighbourhood (or passing through ;)) ”
