Menu

Visiting this local Turkish restaurant can be a hit or miss. While some patrons rave about the delicious food, including tender lamb and chicken dishes, and crispy salads, others express frustration over long wait times and unresponsive service. Recent changes in staff appear to have affected the dining experience, with issues like unexpected charges and refusals for tap water surfacing. Nonetheless, many appreciate the accommodating nature of the staff, especially for dietary restrictions. Overall, despite its inconsistencies, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking hearty Turkish cuisine in Ipswich, with the potential for enjoyable visits.

Was Manski at Ararat a mag?
The restaurant offers a variety of delicious and tasty food. Their salads are crispy and varied, and the lamb and chicken dishes are fantastic and tender. The Moussaka is amazing. They were very accommodating for a family member with a dairy allergy, with homemade hummus packed separately to avoid any soggy dishes. The service was friendly and fast. We will definitely visit again next time we are near Ipswich. Thank... View all feedback.

What Chickpeamad dislikes about Ararat:
We placed a takeaway order at 7:35pm and received our food at 9:30pm, which was completely unacceptable. When we called the restaurant, they blamed the delay on football traffic, even though the game had ended 4.5 hours earlier. At 9pm, they admitted that our food had only just left the restaurant 5 minutes before. The restaurant is only 1.5 miles away from our house. We were very disappointed with the poor service a...

Food was mediocre at best we were asked if we would like some bread and hummus While we wait for our food and we thought it was complimentary as in other turkish Restaurants so we said yes we were charged for it and they never told us that we would be charged for it 10 percent service charge was added to the bill After paying for the food our change was £4.90 And the waitress didn’t even bring our change even though we already paid 10 percent service charge for food that was cooked from frozen and not in any way fresh Felt ripped off Had better food at street food venues at less than a third of the price Never again

We were very disappointed with the poor service and felt like we were given second-rate treatment despite paying a premium price.

Visited most recently for a birthday dinner with family. The service was brilliant and the food was lovely too. The staff are friendly and make you feel really welcome. I have been here on several occasions and consistently the food and service is excellent. Highly recommend and will continue to return.

Amazing pre-Town match vegetarian meze. Haven't been here for ages, and will definitely be back again soon. We just had a selection of starters and nothing disappointed. The bread had a subtle flavour of charcoal from the grill that was gorgeous.
