A taste of

3 Aberdeen Walk, Scarborough

Istanbul in Scarborough

Turkish and Mediterranean

Lezzet is one small room on a pedestrianised walk in the middle of town, warm cream walls under soft amber light. A Turkish mosaic lamp hangs over the tables, there is a kilim on the wall, an evil eye by the door, and a brick counter where the heat lamps glow. The tables are dark wood, properly laid with red napkins and a candle jar. It is relaxed, but we take the details seriously.

Skewers off the hook,
meze in the middle

One warm room in the middle of Scarborough: meze to share, skewers straight off the grill, and Turkish coffee in engraved metal cups to finish.

Table service in the bistro

Turkish coffee comes at the end of the meal in engraved metal cups, and there is a small rack of bottles behind the counter if you fancy something with your grill. If you would rather eat at home, everything can be ordered to take away and collected from the bistro.

Sharing platter for twosignature
The plate people cross Yorkshire for: a generous spread from the grill with domed rice and warm flatbread, big enough that most tables order it once and then order it every visit after.

The sharing platters come up again and again: huge, beautifully cooked and full of flavour. Some guests say they would happily drive across Yorkshire for them, and a few already do.

Friendly, attentive staff who make room for you when they can, even at the last minute. The service gets mentioned almost as often as the food.

For guests who know Istanbul, the room rings true: the lights, the plates, the coffee. A little corner of Turkey in the middle of town.
