  We came out this evening for a birthday dinner, with the intention of going to a pizzeria. I've never been more happy that the place we intended to go was shut, because we instead came to Antep Kitchen on a last minute booking for 6. What a fantastic experience. A lively buzzing restaurant with a real passion for Turkish food. All the staff are friendly and clearly love what they do, and that shows in the standard of service. Every dish we ordered was excellent, freshly cooked on the grill and full of flavour. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back. PS. I saw a feature on Antep Kitchen on YouTube by @onlyscrans which inspired me to come here.

  Fantastic kebabs at Antep Kitchen. Adana (lamb) was served hot, juicy, and full of flavour. We shared a plate between two of us and it was enough food, together with a mezze and their excellent (complimentary!) flatbread. It gets busy so reservations are a good idea.

  We visited Antep Kitchen after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it wasn't as good as I was expecting. I love Turkish food and have eaten it around the country and it was disappointing (for me). Bread - They provided free bread with garlic sauce and chilli to snack on whilst we're waiting for our food. The bread was cold and it was quite a job chewing through it. Lahmacun - Ordered this but were later told it was unavailable which was a shame. Mixed Grill with Cous Cous - It was fresh, hot and came with a really nice salad but it didn't have the X factor from a taste perspective which is a shame. Atmosphere - The atmosphere was amazing, the restaurant was full and there was a buzz around the restaurant.

  Antep is a fantastic spot for authentic Turkish food in Cowley. The kebabs are perfectly cooked, the mezes are fresh and full of flavour, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Great value for money and definitely worth a visit if you’re in Oxford.

  Wow what a find!! Fabulous food, amazing service and a wonderful atmosphere 😀 If we're ever back in Oxford we will definitely come here again. I would recommend booking as it's a very busy restaurant (you can book online) If you love goid food I highly recommend giving the Antep kitchen a try.
