Tarboush 12A Market Street, Loughborough LE11 3EP

"This is a lovely Turkish restaurant in the heart of Loughborough. The decor really immerses you into the culture of Turkey and the presentation of dishes, such as the Tagine, in clay pots and ceramics really added to the experience. Overall the food was good. The peri chips were amazing! The spices packed them with flavour and they were so crispy yet soft in the centre. The mixed grill was made up of succulent meats which we were able to watch cook before our eyes in the exposed kitchen. It was flavourful and generously portioned. The lamb Tagine was a little disappointing, I found it fairly dry and lacking in those deep punchy flavours one would expect from such an iconic Turkish dish. It just didn’t live up to the standards of the rest of the meal. Overall we enjoyed our evening here, the staff were friendly and we would definitely like to return."

"I went to the restaurant with my partner on a Saturday evening. We booked it through their website a few hours before we went. The restaurant got busy around 7pm. The place is well decorated and has a great atmosphere. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside. At some point throughout the evening, a beautiful entertainer came to show us some belly dancing. It was exciting and fun to watch. The service was flawless. They were very attentive and rapid to respond to anything we needed. I don't recall many places that I was so well served around the area. And finally the food... They have so many vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options that people with dietary restrictions don't need to worry. Everything we ordered was delicious, with this different flavour that gets to your senses. We will come back soon, I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

"I had my birthday meal at Tarboush, a party of 6 and it was fantastic. I had booked in advance but there seemed to have been a mix up whereby the booking was not on the system. Despite the mix up, we were promptly seated and our needs accommodated. The owner is extremely friendly and knows the menu inside and out so is great to provide recommendations. Half of the table were vegetarian and we had the set menu, but this wasn’t an issue - all dietary needs were met and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the vegetarian moussaka and the meze starters are incredible - couldn’t get enough! I will definitely be visiting again. Great for a special occasion or treat dinner."

"An Amazing Experience! The food was sublime, an experience on it own. But when you add the atmosphere, the service. It makes it one to really remember. From the minute we walked in we were treated as we were regulars! Even at the end. My sister and I needed a taxi back to our hotel. We asked the team if they knew of a company. The manager arranged for a taxi to come and collect us from the door. During the wait he was always making sure we were ok, and even offered us a comlimentary drink when the wait was longer than expected. I was actually happy the wait was longer as we got to see more of the enterainent that is on at the weekends. Traditional Dancing! She was ... yeah.. WOW!! IF YOU ARE EVER IN LOUGHBOROUGH OR THE SURROUNDING AREA. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU EXPERIENCE TARBOUSH! OHH BONUS FEATURE! They had a cafe during the day and also TAKEOUT! even delivery via JUST EAT!"
