About us
Find out a little more about us and our authentic Turkish cuisine.
Delicious, authentic Turkish food
Our restaurant
We truly believe that the environment we create is just as important as the food we serve; customer service is always a priority. From the moment you enter our restaurant, our team will make sure you feel welcome.
Many members of the team have experience as restauranteurs, gained from working in both the Turkish and UK hospitality industries. We have run a range of establishments, including 5* hotels with top-quality restaurants. We put this to good use when running Tarla – our front-of-house team offer an efficient and friendly service.
Fresh, locally sourced food
Freshness is key to the authentic flavours we create at Tarla. Every day, we cook fresh food sourced from local suppliers around Stevenage. All our meat is marinated daily on site, making it succulent and rich in flavour. We make all of our dishes, including mezes, on site – you won’t find any shop-bought hummus or tinned dolmades here!
We cook all our food using a wood charcoal mangal, a traditional open charcoal grill. It is located in the heart of our restaurant, so you can see your dish being prepared in front of you. It evokes a true flavour of Turkey, giving you that smoky, grilled taste you just can’t replicate at home.

Be our guest
Family values form the basis of the way we run our restaurant; we all work together to make our guests happy and provide the highest levels of customer service. Our family welcomes you to our restaurant just as we would welcome you to our home. In Turkey, hospitality is very important and guests are always well looked after. Through Tarla, we bring a little slice of Turkish hospitality to Hertfordshire.
