Excellent tasty Turkish food. We've had a variety of starters then shared a mixed grill and our child had pide. Well presented and looked freshly made ?

Zukis in Exeter? What can I say, it was a nightmarish experience. I made the ill-fated decision to order a chicken wrap and chips, and that's where the nightmare began. The ketchup they served was unbelievably acidic, as if they were trying to dissolve the enamel off my teeth with every bite.The chicken in the wrap was drier than the Sahara Desert on a scorching summer day. It's like they took a perfectly good chicken and turned it into a poultry jerky. And let's not even get started on the chips. They were limp, soggy, and tasted like they'd been left out in the rain for a week.I thought I was in for a quick and satisfying meal, but Zukis managed to turn a simple takeaway into a diabolical dining experience. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. If you value your taste buds and digestive system, stay far, far away from Zukis in Exeter.

Great place, had a good time for my son's birthday and was stuffed by the end. Lovely staff, and their happy birthday song had all the customers singing along. Great choice if your wanting amazing food and a relaxed environment. Can't recommend enough.Kid-friendliness: There were several children there when we went there, but it's not a place for disruptive children.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all on ground level and there is plenty of space within the restaurant.

Our weekend is a Monday/Tuesday so we chose Zukis as our treat night. Walked into a lovely clean and greeted by smiley staff, a tastefully decorated,mood lit restaurant. I sipped two delicious mocktails for £10 and my partner had the Turkish beer Effes.I chose the whole grilled seabass that had a lovely subtle extra flavour. My partner had mixed shish grill which was a huge plate and the pitta bread is too die for. I'm gluten intolerant and I had a whole one (all good).We ended up spending a couple of hours there and across the time it was busy with a lot of non student diners. Really good to see on an early week outing. A great vibe and super friendly staff with good knowledge. Definitely returning!!!

10/10 Turkish food and cocktails!Honestly one of the best Turkish places I have ever been to. I went around 8pm on a Friday and it wasn?t busy at all, seated immediately and started with cocktails before ordering some food. Cocktails were brilliant, extremely aesthetic and tasted as good as they looked.Onto the food!Ordered a chicken shawarma for myself and a mixed grill for my girlfriend, both were served well within 15 minutes of ordering. Both were incredibly tasty; I?ve been to many Turkish places but this is the only one that gets an easy 10/10. The mixed grill, pita, shawarma and sauces were all delicious and I would highly recommend either of these to anyone who visits.Service was top tier, each worker was kind and very helpful.If you?re in Exeter and feeling hungry, this is a must try. A bit on the pricey side yes, but well and truly worth it.

I took my daughter here for her birthday lunch. The food was brilliant. We couldn't decide what to have as all the main courses sounded so lovely. So we chose two main courses and shared them. We had the charcoal grilled vegetables with halloumi, tomato sauce and the aubergine and lamb Kofte. The service was great, we didn't have to wait too long. Our waiters were both very helpful and gave us time to make our choices. Our main courses came along with a large side salad and pitta breads. I recommend this restaurant and we will return. I forgot to leave a tip as I paid by card so I'm sorry I didn't as a tip was well deserved.

This Turkish restaurant is one of the best! We had beautifully cooked and presented food, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Mama is the star here - she is an exceptional cook! A dear friend who dined with us was a restaurant owner and she is also a fabulous cook. She often finds something lacking when we go out to eat, but not here! Everything was cooked to perfection, the ultimate test being the Sea Bream she ordered, which is a delicate fish to cook. It was perfect! She loved it! Thank you Octavian, Mama and all the staff at Zuki?s for the quality of the food and your kind attention to your customers every need. We will be back very soon!

The service was very slow and they brought us the wrong orders. I think the waitress was new. The food (chicken and lamb) was OK, but a bit dry. The salad and borek were good. The place was nice but it could have more character and perhaps have Turkish music instead of English pop. They offered us complimentary Turkish tea at the end which was a nice touch. The prices were a bit lower than most restaurants these days, so at least we have that. They added a service charge to the bill, which was cheeky..

Had lunch at this restaurant recently. Restaurant divided into two parts. The one closest to the grill was empty and we were seated here promptly. Our orders were taken and we were given pitta bread and salad. Food was made to order and we went for the meat mixed grill platter for 2. Food took a little while to arrive. We enquired and apologizes were given. The meat platter had ribs, kebab, chicken wings, salad, rice, some chips and more salad. The food tasted amazing. The ribs were the best. We definitely had our fill and we could not eat the second salad. If you are hungry then this is the meal, could have served 3 people. Will be back.

I ordered a chicken box. The box itself was good but inside my box was a bit of rubber. Not only is this extremely unhygienic and unsanitary, this is a safety hazard. I will not be returning for this reason.

You will surely get addicted to the food here! Although we are currently on holiday at Exeter but we already went there twice a week and will go there again in the next few days (I hope i can get something nice when we are back in Singapore Arab Street). The food quality, presentation, and good amount of yummy salad they provided were fantastic! The service ~ all the staff there were so friendly and helpful they made us feel like home eating there :) I ordered the lamb minced Kebab and Turkish tea twice as I wasn't willing to try other dishes because they were so delicious haha!

Portions we?re on the small side but don?t mind this if the food is great - unfortunately it wasn?t. Sauces were bland, salads had no dressing and rest overall lacked any sort of depth of flavour and seasoning. We had lamb and kofte and the meat was cooked okay but again, bland. An hour after eating we both felt really unwell for the rest of the night.
