Mimosa Authentic Turkish Restaurant

My wife and I went to this restaurant sat 9^th June 12. we had high expectations after reading several review. Plus we have lived in Turkey and thought it would make for an interesting night. We were warmly welcomed and it looked really clean and fresh. We ordered the Feast of the Sultan as we liked Turkish grills. The starter was very nice although the stuffed vine leaf and sigara boregi were cut in half and shared between us and the calamari was just 2 rings !!! We had a nice bottle of wine and when the main meal turned up it was seriously lacking any sort of appeal. It was dry and luke warm at best. The table opposite us had a problem with her drink, she had a gin and tonic but made with lemonade instead to which the lady that worked the till and prepped the drinks just put more gin in it. She was the owners wife as far as we could tell as the single waitress didn’t operate the till or deal with any money and is a normal way for them to operate a business. The main meal also seemed to lack the beyti kebab as well, we mentioned this to the waitress but it didn’t make any difference, she just shrugged her shoulders. My wife then asked the older lady for a glass of water and she opened and brought over a large bottle !!! when we said we just wanted a glass of tap water she threw the glassful on a plant mostly missing it and wetting the floor, she then got the lone waitress to clean it up. The lady gave us some very nasty looks during all this. We also noticed that the sign about hygiene level 1 to 5 was only a 4 and tucked out of the way where most restaurants have this on their front window. To summarise, for 50 quid it was a disappointing meal with bad service. We certainly wont be returning or recommending this restaurant. A basic coldand dry bar-​b-​que that was expensive.

Good service. Fair prices. Nice food. you cant go wrong!

I believe this is one of the only Turkish resturaunts in Hulls. I have visited the place twice and have found the food very good and the service excellent. There is an authentic feeling to the place whiich is helped by the open cooling facilities, so that you can see your food being prepared. The food is brough to you quickly which is always a bonus The Mimosa resturant is kept ina very clean condition and is decorated to a high standard I would recommend this resturant to people who have not tried turkish cuisine before. Obviously the food is not exactly as you would get in Turkey but close enough

We came here as a larage group booking a family birthday, to be honest i was expecting slow service and not quite sure about the food. However fromt he moment we arrived we were treated with respect given enough breathing space but a waiter not too far away if we needed them. the drinks were brought very quickly and then the food not long after we ahd oredered, as a alrge groupo they did very very well to get everybodys starters out at the smae time and then again with the main course. I cannot describe the quality of the food as it would make me very hungry just thinking about it, lovely meal, lovely atmosphere excellent serivce and not the huge bill we were expecting.

This was the first time I had tried a turkish restaurant in Hull and I was pleasantly surprised, on the night I went with my daughter it was very quiet but the food and service was pleasant. I am not too sure if I would choose it for a special occasion but for a trip out for the night it fits the bill.
