Service

Pros:

• "The service was friendly and quick."
• "The staff are very friendly and accommodating and they make a mean mocktail too!"
• "Service exceptional, friendly and attentive."
• "Staff were really good, the restaurant had a big party going on upstairs at the time, but you wouldn’t have known it from the service of or food times."
• "Definitely the best Turkish restaurant in Norwich. I dine at this restaurant almost twice a month and have never been disappointed with the food and even the service."
• "Special mention to Jessica who gave superb cocktail recommendations and general high-quality hosting all evening!"
• "Had a fantastic lunch for 31 on Friday afternoon. Service was top notch and everyone had a brilliant afternoon."
• "Staff fantastic. Decor lovely but unfortunately it's a bit style over substance."

Cons:

• "The service was the shocking part and totally ruined what was meant to be a lovely birthday meal."
• "It makes the food and drink excessively over priced."
• "The only downside was how long we had to wait after our plates were taken away to get the bill. Probably a good 30/40 minutes."
• "We were also disappointed with the handling of the bill by staff - understandably it was a group of approximately 12 people splitting the bill but the last of us were left to pay for a discrepancy of £26 which was most likely an accounting error."
• "Food was nice and great service. Think there could be a better description of the dishes and what they come with."
• "I’d been really looking forward to coming here with my husband having had a great time at Haggle with friends a few months ago. This time however I wasn’t so impressed."
• "Service and food was good. I came here with friends for dinner and drinks. Despite it been really busy Saturday night I thought the service and time from order to serving food was actually good."
• "We booked this restaurant for my friends 60th and had a group of 12. We had a giant table upstairs. The meal was great and a really helpful and friendly waiter."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The place looks really nice and the staff were kind to us."
• "I’ve been to Haggle twice purely for the gorgeous décor."
• "This was recommended to me by our waitress yesterday at The Suffolk. We'd never have found it visiting Norwich for the day. However it's so good. The décor is something to marvel at, original and striking."
• "Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. Unique seating arrangements in the lower level with lots of space."
• "The way they have outside seating with cover and heating, plus multiple floors inside is impressive."
• "So impressed with the decor, atmosphere and of course the food."
• "Great decor and superb ambience created with music decor and lighting. Service was impeccable, prompt, attentive, and charismatic."
• "We went inside purely due to the lovely décor, the food inside didn't disappoint! Lovely calm atmosphere and kind waitresses, open kitchen which was lovely to see your food being cooked."

Cons:

• "We were seated in a very dark tight alcove but the overall decor was excellent."
• "Nice venue but wasn’t a great experience for my birthday. Found the menu confusing and prices high."
• "It would have gotten 5 starts but the fact that we were placed on the top floor and if you wanted to go to the bathroom you would have to go to the basement was rather inconvenient."
• "We decided to visit late one Saturday afternoon, without a reservation. When entering, we were met immediately and taken to seats nearby, with the open kitchen visible at the back of the restaurant. There was not much room to manoeuvre around the tables and chairs, but it was not all claustrophobic. The decoration was splendid and definitely added to the experience."
• "A middle eastern restaurant with an interesting selection of dishes. Meals are big so be careful with what you order! Service was a bit slow sometimes but understandable given the circumstances and social distancing."
• "Horrible experience; we booked a table, and when we arrived we were sat on sofas. Both I and my mother complained that they reeked and needed a febreeze. Our waitress asked intrusive question, and they forgot one of our mains which I had to remind her of. Prices are also very high - I ordered a cocktail that came half filled with ice, no garnish."
• "Food was simply superb, cooked to perfection. The only concern was because it's so busy we had a table in the bar area and this had loud music, which I personally disliked. I like to have a conversation when I dine, but apart from that I would give it 8 out of ten."
• "As for the food this was exceptional and everything was faultless in this regard. If anything you could probably charge more for the quality and unusual nature of what you produce… only suggestion … perhaps wider selection of beers and soft drinks .. still 10/10 though … keep putting out the sunshine as more restaurants should be like you guys"
