Ararat is one of our favourite places to eat in Ipswich. Parking is round the corner; it’s accessible for all, it’s clean and tidy and most of all... THE SERVICE AND FOOD IS AMAZING Tonight, we got the humous as an starter and the amazing bread, mains was a veg kebab and I had an chicken kofte with a GORGEOUSSSSS slice of fresh Baklava to finish... As always, the food is so good, the service is amazing. I love this place, literally the best Turkish in town - I can’t sing their praises enough Ps; I forgot to mention, the chilli sauce!! OMG so so tasty

Just been for a birthday meal with my family, it was my sons birthday and they gave him a cake box to take home, what a lovely touch. Had the most delicious meal, so much food all freshly cooked. Very good price and the service was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be back Thank you so much x

A great night out with friends , the restaurant was jam packed with diners . They weee fantastic host , as expected kept our booked table ready and waiting for us . The Turkish food was a delight from appetisers to mains , all delicious. The prices per head was also very reasonable at 22.00 - 28.00 including drinks . There are two floors and the upper floor has the lounge bar with additional seatings so very nice . The service was great and the food arrived surprisingly very quick , given the fact how busy the restaurant was ! Well done guys

Had a great dinner tonight. Portions were plenty, didnt get to finish the mains after having starters too so great value for money. Restaurant was clean, staff were friendly.. not quite sure about the 1 star reviews, probably from a jealous restaurant in the area or something.. this is not a paid for review and we paid full price for our meal. Will definitely be back!
