Yasemin Turkish Restaurant

Yasemin Turkish Restaurant on Stanley Road in Bootle has built a positive reputation for authentic Turkish cuisine in a community that has relatively few specialist ethnic restaurants. The menu covers the full Turkish grill repertoire — doner and shish kebabs, kofte, lamb and chicken grills, mezze starters and the flatbreads that accompany a proper Turkish meal — with the kind of attention to cooking technique that distinguishes a genuine Turkish kitchen from a generic kebab shop. Reviewers note the quality of the meat preparation and the flavour of the chargrilled dishes as particular strengths. Yasemin is a Turkish name meaning 'jasmine', and the name signals a kitchen with a genuine Turkish identity rather than a cosmetic one. Collection and delivery serve the surrounding L20 residential community from the Stanley Road address.
