Aspava Restaurant

What a fantastic restaurant and patisserie. Great menu, wine/drinks list, take out and sweet treats. Superb service and very big portion sizes. If you're in Cockermouth well worth a visit

Very nice Turkish restaurant. We had Ali Nazik Kebab and Adana Kebab, and baklava. All really tasty. The staff is friendly and served us quickly. Turkish music at the background. We'll come again.

We had dinner and a traditional hot and cold Turkish breakfast during our visit to the Lake District. Great food and service. The friendly staff catered to our dietary requirements. We had to stop at the wonderful patisserie next door for a feast to our eyes and taste buds! We will be back!

Excellent Turkish restaurant in the heart of the delightful Cumbrian town of Cockermouth. This was our first visit, we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent, we enjoyed chicken kebabs and two desserts. The chicken was tender, nicely cooked and the flavours unique. The desserts were beautiful, very much melt in your mouth stuff. The staff were very friendly and service was quick on the day we visited with a couple of other tables occupied. In all very nice food. Free parking on street. Lovely location. Not the cheapest, but very much worth the money.

A very quiet breakfast which was delicious. We had the hot breakfast for 2 with Turkish coffee. Really tasty and delicious with fantastic staff. The patisserie next door is also well worth a visit.

This review is based on the Patisserie only as we didn’t try the restaurant. We were drawn to the sweet delights from the window when we were in Cockermouth so had to give the patisserie a go. Upon entering we were overwhelmed by amount of choice. From cookies to cakes and everything in between. There were many Turkish items. Everything was clean and the staff were pleasant enough. One of the girls was able to give a couple of recommendations. We opted for a couple of cookies, 2 mousy cakes (can’t remember the name) and a giant Dubai chocolate bar. The cookies were large and looked appealing. However, they were too dry in my opinion. They were more of a biscotti than a cookie. We prefer a soft gooey centre. We agreed they would have been enjoyed more if they were dunked into a class of milk. The cakes on the other hand were delightful! Soft and super tasty. Very indulgent indeed. Finally, the Dubai chocolate bar was also very good, yet expensive. However, it was certainly more affordable than other ones I’ve had and just as tasty. All in all I’d recommend stopping here if you are passing through Cockermouth and craving something sweet and wanting something of higher quality than your usual dessert shops.

Amazing food .... the best lamb chops! They beat the best ones we always rate them by in Türkiye, & they're amazing!... our dessert was a taste of Feithye to us, in Cockermouth x

My wife and myself love going to Cockermouth and this is one of our favourite restaurants. The food is great and the staff look after you so well. Well worth a visit.
