"We live just down the road from Axbridge and popped in for dinner as we had heard good things about this place.The first thing that is difficult is parking! There are restrictions everywhere for 24 hours a day as far as we could tell. Of course, that is not the fault of the restaurant but it does contribute to one 's enjoyment of an evening.Anyway, the restaurant and bar area are very nicely decorated, warm and welcoming. we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady and had a drink at the bar first. very chatty and friendly woman behind the bar too.On being seated at the restaurant, we had a tasty amuse bouche and drinks (decent wine list .The menu is good. There were at least three things on there that I could have ordered on the spot! Traditional British style choices, very nice. However, I could not justify paying £30 for an 8oz fillet of beef with some sauce!!I had the pigeon starter, which was very nicely cooked, pink all the way through and tender as well (water bath, maybe? . However, when it arrived at the table it was all quite cold as if it had been sitting for a while before being brought out. My wife had the soup, which was home made and she said it was good.We both went for the pork belly main course, and both agreed that it was rather dry. There was nice crackling and all the potatoes and veg were nicely cooked, but the actual pork meat was not unctuous with reduced fat. All in all, good service, nice place but the kitchen was not on top form that night. We would give them another chance however, this meal was 'average ', not 'poor '."

"my friend and I have visited la turka a few times in the last month or so, according to my opinion, it is the best restaurant in monton! the personal is always so friendly and smiling, and the service is consistently fast and efficient, even if it is busy, the food and drinks come fast (but not too fast, just the right time to have a chat in advance).) the atmosphere in the restaurant is very lively, with good melodies. we sat outside before the last time, and it was very peaceful sitting there on an evening, watching people. the facility in restaurant is beautiful, there is much to see. the time before the last, we were not so hungry, so just ordered a few tapas dishes each. my friend ordered the ripening and frying that they looked good, the portions were good, and he seemed to really enjoy them. I had the meatballs with a side of sweet. the meatballs were delicious, they tasted homemade and the tomato sauce was incredible. the kitchen cooked my veg perfectly not too soggy, not too crisp; just right. our surprise came also a court of free homemade bread with the tapas dresses. it was so delicious, we had to hold back! the latest time we visited la turka we were pleasantly surprised with some free cheese-own garlic bread to begin (at this point, I think they recognize us as regular it was hot spided and with the perfect amount of cheese. we had to wait a little longer for our main course, as the restaurant had a big party of people who served them at that time, but the waiting time was by no means exaggerated. I ordered the falafel and some veg, and the kitchen kindly brought some homemade tomaten sauce for me to immerse my veg in (I love that witness again, the veg was boiled to perfection, and the falafel were great well-shaped, good texture, and by no means fat. we were amazed by the portion size of my friend's lamb ribs it was crazy. they were slowly coked and fell out of the bone without effort. there was a little fat in sharing, but nothing major, and moreover, that is to be expected with lamb. they looked really juicy. they also came with cloby chips that were good. both meal times were extremely favorable, I think the first was about and the second was rough (including coke/water and a top of both situated things.) we found these prices extremely reasonable, given the ease and fastness of the service, the great atmosphere in the restaurant, the portion sizes we were served, and the quality of eating."

"We had booked K2H before their NYE menu came out and were really looking forward to the experience, having heard good reports about the food. The evening started well with a warm welcome by a lovely young lady with great personality. We were given menus, drinks orders were taken and promptly delivered and then we were forgotten about. More than 30 minutes later the same young lady returned to us embarassed that our food order had not been taken. She then took the order and departed. 20 or so minutes later our starters arrived. We explained that we hadn 't had our poppadoms/chutneys and were told they would be brought over. The starters were delicious however the poppadoms didn 't materialise. When the starters were cleared we again requested our poppadoms and then after approximately 10 minutes we asked a waitress for them. Another 10 minutes passed and we asked yet again. The poppadoms arrived but seconds later our mains arrived leaving no room on the table for our rice or naans. We therefore asked for the poppadoms to be taken away. Two of the meals were very tasty however my chicken tikka dish was not good. The sauce tasted like tomato soup (yes, Heinz! with some spices added and the lamb dish (not the Rogan Josh was similar with an extremely mild korma type sauce. My dish was advertised as 2 chillis and was exceptionally mild and the lamb dish was also extremely bland. The chicken dish which we were told was jalfraizi hot was very tasty andhot, as expected. My husband 's rogan josh was quite spicy (2 chilli 's in contrast to my extremely bland dish. The rice and naan breads were very good. Our third round of drinks also took forever to turn up and we had to ask for them several times. Following our complaints about the poppadoms/drinks after the restaurant had thinned out we suddenly got lots of attention from the staff which felt too little too late. Prior to that we truly felt that we had been forgotten. It did detract from our enjoyment"
