The food was delicious with a good blend of spices and flavors. The homemade baklava was excellent! The service was prompt and the servers were very helpful and explained the menu choices. We would definitely go there again!

I enjoyed a Friday evening meal with friends. We had 3 courses and coffee. Food was delicious and staff friendly. A good range of dishes to suit all tastes and they even had AF beer. Though quite busy, we were able to enjoy conversation. Highly recommended!

Went here with my grandparents (visiting from London), sister and mother and we were well taken care of. The food was absolutely exquisite with decent portion sizes. Not the cheapest place but for the quality we had nothing to complain about. We couldn't choose so got two large platters with a couple of sides. Was perfect. Can't wait for the next time!

Fantastic food and very friendly efficient service. We had a delicious meal.

My wife and I shared the vegetarian mezze and I also had the starter chicken kofte. Every single dish was flavorful and perfectly spiced. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We really loved the food at Ada, delicious flavourful food. We opted for the Vegetarian sharing Mezze for starter- the courgette and cheese fritters and felafal as part of this were our favourites. We then had the Ada Special and the vegetarian Mussaka which came with rice and salad. Just right portion sizes. Turkish coffee with little bit of Turkish delight on the side finished the meal off perfectly. The staff were so busy. Will definitely visit again if we are working in the area another time. Thank you

Loved this wee gem on South Street. It was a lovely addition to Elgin and felt very authentic. Service was attentive and relaxed, perfect for a night out Food was fresh, well presented, and excellent value for money. Both of us are vegetarian, and there were ample options for us to choose from. Unfortunately, we don't live locally. Otherwise, we would be back again without a doubt

Ace place. Saw reviews and we decided to try, so booked a table for two on Saturday night, and booking is advisable as they were turning people away. Staff were great and gave good advice as we really had no idea what to order. Anyway we shared a starter and then had two mains, and then shared a desert. Add in one beer each and a tip and we were 75. Food was great: very tasty and not too heavy. Plenty on the menu to feel safe with as well as a few items to provoke a step into new territory and give a reason to come back again. And make sure and try the home made chilli sauce!
