Incredible taste bud sensation at the Lemon Tree, a Turkish restaurant in Barnsley. Julie and I had a date night called "Safari Meal," where we had a starter, main, and dessert at different restaurants. Talking only about the Lemon Tree, where we began with the starter and our first visit there. Between us, we had "Garlic Mushrooms" in creamy garlic sauce with warm bread and "Sucuk," a Turkish beef sausage kebab with cucumber yogurt dip. One could argue that nothing can go wrong making garlic mushrooms, but as someone who enjoys cooking, I'd disagree. This starter was heavenly perfection, complemented by warm bread. I made the mistake of not asking what type of bread it was because it was so scrumptious, dipping it in the sauce. I was a little concerned that the Turkish Sucuk sausage might be too firm, but my suspicions were unfounded; the meat was tender, with just the right balance of spices. The chap who served us was warm and welcoming and found our date night idea quirky, saying, "Before you go to the next one, have a little walk around." It's given us the idea that, rather than having a traditional Sunday lunch this weekend, we will be having it at the Lemon Tree.
Our first visit to this restaurant, and it won't be our last. We went after a recommendation from a friend, and were not disappointed. The service was professional and friendly, food absolutely delicious and reasonably priced, and they have a great selection of drinks, especially gin. I ate the salmon kebab with roast veg and rice, and my husband had moussaka with rice and bread. Both were incredibly well cooked and tasty.
Really nice food and lovely place. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will be coming here again
I took my father here on Christmas Day, and I’m glad I did. The food and service were faultless. Every course was very enjoyable, and generous portions left us stuffed. The dinner had a relaxed pace with staff making us feel well-looked-after without being rushed or hassled. The only thing I would change is to also have some Turkish dishes on the Christmas Day menu. I’d have loved some Christmas humus! Then it would have been more unique than the standard traditional Christmas menu offered by every place. Thanks for a lovely Christmas dinner!
