ELAF - Middle East & Turkish Cuisine

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and great customer service.

We ordered lamb chops with chips, chicken tikka with rice, adana kebab with naan, 3x j2o, 1x mocktail and a margherita pizza.

Everything tasted lovely and fresh. The chicken and rice were especially nice and very flavourful and everything was cooked perfectly.

Bathroom was clean and tidy and super pleased they had a water jug (lota/badna)

Waitresses who served us were very friendly and gave good recommendations. Special shoutout to Nadir and Shavger behind the tills who were approachable and welcoming.  We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back again soon 😊

Hoping to try their mint tea and kanafa next time as we had no space!

Been here a few times to eat now, the food is amazing everything so full of flavour and taste. The seating area is good, may feel cramped at busy times but the service is still on point and the food is always above standards. Very good decent size portions and the prices are decent also. Mix kebabs are my favourite and the drinks, good selection available and worth the money. Family platter is also very good to have here, nicely presented and plenty of flavour.  Definitely recommend eating in here, they do deliveries but best to go in and eat fresh off the grill. Excellent place amazing food, friendly staff.

Genuinely the best Turkish food I’ve ever had and the best food I’ve had at a restaurant in months. Everything felt freshly made and skilfully too. The lamb shank was some of the best lamb I’ve ever had in my life and the chilli sauce was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly

I visited Elaf in Blackburn with friends in January, and it was an amazing experience overall! Most of the food was delicious, with rich, authentic Turkish flavors, and the service and atmosphere were excellent. However, the Chicken Al Faham was a bit disappointing in both taste and portion size. Aside from that, everything else was spot on. Definitely worth a visit

I brought my dad here who came all the way from London and he really enjoyed it. He said it was better than the Turkish food we get back in London. Kanwal and Ruksana were lovely and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Chef Nadir also spoke to my Dad (who used to work in restaurants himself) and was very friendly. Food was delicious as always. Will definitely be coming back!
