March 20, 2025 at 1:16 pmThe staff were very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and offered excellent value. I highly recommend the sharing board with a side of hummus. The venue was very clean and tidy, although it could be a little breezy if seated near the entrance.

May 1, 2025 at 10:35 pmWe visited as a group of friends and honestly had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious full of flavour and freshly made. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent from start to finish The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and even had great air conditioning, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly loved our time there and will definitely be coming back.
I’ve already recommended this place to others it’s easily the best Turkish restaurant in Durham. Highly recommended ❤️❤️Best wishes

May 3, 2025 at 6:59 pmWe recently visited this restaurant around 2pm for lunch. We ordered 2 course lunch meal. Starters were decent for the portion and taste. Main courses were not up to the expectation. Esperanza the falafel wrap was totally dry and crumble. Bread that was served with saksuka was great but the dish was cold.
It was a disappointment as we waited for more than 45 minutes to get just the starters served.Richard Hall
May 29, 2025 at 7:27 pmVery busy and clearly sought after food in Akarsu.
Was very busy inside with diners on both levels.
The front of house staff were very good and friendly.
Lots to go at on the menu too, real good quality authentic food too.
Great location with views over the bridge and to the water.
Very well decorated internally on all levels.
All in all impressed by all aspects of the visit, the food was delicious.
If your in town or considering a visit I’d call in here for food.Peter Erdelyi
June 3, 2025 at 5:16 pmOne of the best restaurants in Durham. We tried 6 different kind of meats, 3 salads with potatoes and naan bread.
They were just as tasty as they looked like.
Enjoyed every bit, and the coffe after kept us running for the rest of the day: I higly recommend it.
Stunning view on the river and the bridge jearby, kind and skilled staff members.
