“ A friend recommended this place and I loved it. An amazing service I really wish I would have asked for our waitress name because she was so lovely. They have many vegetarian options. The portions are big and yummy. The food was high quality and healthy. The dessert is a must do not scape it at this restaurant we ordered Kanafe and tea and oh my god it was amazing. They also had live music which was a wonderful touch. The service, the food and the vibe it was all wonderful. Definitely going back. ”
“ My partner and I have been long time customers of Saray as we absolutely love the food and the price point is unbeatable. When we were planning our wedding and thinking about venues we reached out to see if they could accommodate. They we very responsive, easy to communicate with and always answered all of our questions throughout the planning process. We held our wedding celebration here and had about 100 guests. The space was spacious enough where it didn't feel cramped at all and they were able to serve a buffet style which all of our friends and family loved. They were able to accommodate our requests for bringing in some decorations, using their speaker/ mic system for speeches, and flexibility of arranging the space in order to have dancing. The staff onsite during the event were also great, helping with different requests throughout. We couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out, the price point for the event and we recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to have good food! Whether a large event or small, Saray is fantastic! ”
“ Had lunch here with friends and we had an exceptional time. The appetizer Sigara Borek was light, creamy, flavourful. The Ayran drink was a refreshing delight to enjoy. And the main dish, Alinazik Kebab was just the right portion. Packed with cultural flavours and a smokiness that permeates through the dish. A good location to enjoy good Turkish food overall. ”
“ This is a great spot, a hidden gem if you’d like. Tucked on the far east side of Hastings they offer a great dining experience. The food is delicious, huge variety for every taste. They have live music and people is laughing and chatting everywhere. Sometimes there is dancing involved which I enjoy watching while I have my dinner. Make sure you arrive early to find a table. The service is remarkable, huge smiles and every waitress is polite and fast. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a “dining experience” and not just good food. ”
“ We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and high-quality, and the staff were incredibly friendly and respectful. The atmosphere was cozy and beautifully designed, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Shohreh for her amazing service—she was so positive, full of great energy, and truly made our visit extra special. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to our friends andfamily! ”
“ The kebabs were excellent, and the staff was very polite and professional. Mina, in particular, was very helpful in recommending the best choices based on our tastes. ”
“ Mina was so helpful, charismatic, and attentive explaining us each dish, drink, and traditions. Her recommendations were delicious!. The atmosphere is great, traditional, and they have some sections to eat as in Turkey. It's definitely a place to come back. ”
“ Delicious food! We went there during non-rush hours and we had a great time. Everything we had was tasty and the mains had large portions with great value for money. My favorite were Adana kebab, greek salad, meat/cheese pide, and dolma. Would definitely go again and maybe try them during a weekend event night ”
