We visited Saray on Sunday evening for the first time. We did not book and we were very lucky that there was a table empty as the restaurant was full, and after eating here I can understand why. Our table was prepared and we were shown to it. Our drinks order was taken promptly and we were left to look... More

Just had to try this place based on the other glowing reviews and it did not disappoint. Meat mixed grill is an absolute winner and everything else was excellent. The best thing of all though was the service which was attentive, very polite and very pleasant. Value for money is important to us and we got it in spades at... More

This restaurant is, without doubt, the best Turkish restaurant outside of Turkey. The staff are friendly and look after all of your needs. There is Turkish music playing in the background (unlike a chain restaurant not far away) and the food is out of this world. The only thing that's missing is genuine çay. (Although Efes and Raki are on... More

Not sure the previous review entitled Shocking place! was actually at Saray. Mainly because the decoration is really good. I've been to many Turkish restaurants and this is by no means a bad restaurant. The service is very good indeed. Very polite, friendly and attentive. We had the mixed starter which was extremely tasty and had included a variety of... More

Small restaurant in the middle of Chorlton. Very friendly and attentive service. Menu is not extensive but there's a pretty good selection. Prices are reasonable. We were a party of seven and had a wide selection of dishes that everyone enjoyed. Would happily eat here again.

When I first entered this place, I was appalled by the decoration but thought that the food would be tasty based on the positive reviews on tripadvisor. I ordered the chef's special chicken which was very dry and tasteless and the rice was cold. My friend had the chicken iskender which was served with pitta bread. He felt it was... More

It's a few months since I have been to the Saray but I will be going again next week. The staff are very good and the food is excellent. There are quite a few Turkish restaurants in Greater Manchester but this one is probably the best.

Second visit to Saray. Great service - smiley, friendly and attentive. Lovely food - the mixed meze starter was really good & my char-grilled garlic prawn main was really good too, as were my partner's lamb cutlets. Extremely reasonable, especially with my tastecard! Delicious pistachio/lemon Turkish delight with the bill!

I'm Turkish and living in the UK for a while - I have tried several Turkish restaurant most of which were good enough. I was very excited when I have read about Saray and wanted to visit it - I can't say it is bad but it is nowhere to near exceptional taste. Food is delicious but you can get... More
