Family-run takeaway and delivery service Kolay Grill has brought authentic Turkish cuisine to the streets of Stevenage.

The service opened to the public on Friday (May 10) and is located at Unit 29 of Stevenage Enterprise Park 

The Comet attended the takeaway yesterday afternoon (May 14) to try the selection of foods available.

Provided with a very generous portion of meats, rice, bread, salad and sigara borek - a type of cheese roll made of pastry - we dug in to the platter..

The traditional charcoal cooking methods were instantly noticeable, with the meat having a unique and flavourful taste.

As someone who spent time in Turkey growing up, finding sigara borek which tasted as good in the UK has been a difficult task. However, Kolay Grill provided the answer.

The cheese pastry rolls were just as they are served in Turkey, and were particularly enjoyable.

Bulgar wheat and rice completed the dish, along with chillies that were a tad spicy for our taste but would be a pleasant inclusion for others.

Tomatoes and bread helped to provide a cooling taste, in what was a very satisfying meal overall.
