What Chickpeamad doesn't like about Ararat Turkish:
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... View all feedback. What Manski likes about Ararat Turkish:
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.

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.
