Topkapi Inverness

This is a delightful halal restaurant located in the heart of Inverness. They offer a diverse menu with a variety of portion sizes. We ordered a half-pound beef burger, which turned out to be too large for me to finish. The prices are fantastic considering the portion sizes. The restaurant is impeccably clean, and the staff is friendly, taking the time to ask customers about their preferences. I highly recommend giving this place a try! However, I deducted one star because of its location; it’s situated behind the main street, across from the Eastgate shopping mall.

Extremely underrated! Topkapi serves up incredible shish kebabs with just the perfect amount of spice. If you're on a keto, carnivore, or low-carb diet, this is definitely the place to go for dinner. I stumbled in one evening after a broken train rail delayed my journey, leaving me with few dining options as most places had already closed. It turned out to be a fortunate discovery, as it led me off the usual path. Fantastic food, excellent service, and they stay open late—what a win! Kismet!

A hidden gem! You must visit this place! I went to two other upscale restaurants this evening, and I couldn’t even finish my meal at the first one—it was terrible, and they clearly didn’t understand what a good burger is. The second restaurant ignored us for over an hour. However, at Topkapi, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were impressive for the price... they could easily charge double, and I’d still come back for more. A big thank you to the local I asked for recommendations while at a pub; your suggestion was outstanding!

TL;DR Do yourself a favor and go to topkappi. It was sooo GOOD! Some of the absolute best shish I've had. Def get chili AND garlic sauce veg. I got the med sz chicken shish it was is more than enough and large is good for two. The staff are very kind and helpful their suggestions were to get the shish chicken, both sauses and the veg. Visiting from the states, I took a nap and didn't go to dinner with my partner but when I woke up I walked down to inverness center to meet him, his dinner was so bad he don't eat (smash burgers are not the same thing here) after being burned he asked an adorable chap for recommendations he gave us two, we went to the Blackfriar, sat for about 40 min before our drink order was taken, they warned us so that was fine but at about 1hr 15min in and we still didnt no drinks we left. we went to the other place the gent suggested, Topkappi. Do yourself a favor and go to topkappi. It was sooo GOOD! Some of the absolute best shish I've had. Def get chili AND garlic sauce veg. I got the med chicken shish it was is more than enough and large is good for two. We walked back to the room and after the first bite I wanted to call them and tell them how good it was, I don't leave many reviews but I thought this would do more good than a phone call. I almost stopped eating half way though so I could get the word out but it was too good to stop. We are l leaving tomorrow and I'm thining about heading back down to get another shish to have for lunch tomorrow.

Absolutely awful. Ordered after a night out last night, took over an hour to arrive (which wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't have paid £5 for delivery!!! it was all cold. Tiny portions for the money (not that I'm complaining about that, most of it went in the bin anyway , the cheesy chips were congealed the chicken did not taste right at all, stopped eating just incase! Definitely won't be back here!
