Sterk Bar & Kitchen

What a great Mediterranean restaurant. Down a quiet side street in Frome. It’s a hidden gem. Beautiful decor inside and the staff all look very smart. We were a party of four and all really enjoyed our food and the whole experience. The staff were very attentive and just amazing. It’s like they knew what we wanted without even asking them. The menu has a great choice of dishes and also very good for vegetarians and gluten free. The food was beautifully presented and mine was in earthen ware which kept it hot. There isn’t a big choice on desserts but the meals are a good size so none of us had any room for one anyway. It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. Our friend said it was the best steak he had ever had.

We had a great time here. Food was great and service was absolutely spot on. We had baba ganoush, calamari, mixed grilled (chicken and lamb) served with rice and cous cous. We finished with home-made baklava and kemalpasa. What a wonderful place to enjoy an evening in Frome.

We booked an early Saturday night meal online. The staff were very warm, welcoming and friendly. I chose the lamb shish, which was tasty overall but a bit overdone and not as tender as expected for the price. The side salad and rice were great accompaniments. My friend found their mixed shish (chicken and lamb) had dry chicken. My partner loved her moussaka, praising its thick, cheesy bechamel topping served in a sizzling clay dish. Personally, I'd prefer a bit more aubergine and less of a strong tomato puree flavor. For drinks, we tried an espresso martini, which was expertly well-shaken and presented. The old fashioned was good, served with an orange slice (but no cherry), though I was surprisingly asked if I wanted a mixer like coke or tonic with it. Overall, it's a nice restaurant with pleasant decor and ambiance, but not as good quality as the high price would suggest.

Was invited here for lunch by a friend. Perfect parking during the day right in front! Sat outside and enjoyed their lunch special. I had a delicious light beetroot salad followed by lamb and vegetable Guvec, And my friend had Chicken Prences. George made me a refreshing lemon juice to try and we admired their cocktails which I am told by the other customers, were delicious. All the staff were extremely friendly. They even finished off our meal with authentic Turkish coffee and Turkish delight. I lost the slip of paper with the servers names, 😢 sorry. Bit delicious food and would highly recommend.

Delicious Turkish food and a lovely dining experience. We tried three starters and two main dishes, and everything was perfectly seasoned and absolutely fantastic. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere. Even though we’re fussy eaters, this place deserves a full 5 stars and comes highly recommended.

What a fantastic experience eating at Sterk Bar and Kitchen. The staff went out of their way to make my family feel comfortable and enjoy our lovely meal. I would like to especially compliment Havan, who was extremely kind and attentive throughout our time there. The food was absolutely delicious, I had the Chicken Shish, and my family had a vegetable platter, and some other items and everything was great! I highly recommend this restaurant, if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

We were a party of 7 on fridsy might. It eas my friends birthday. We loved it all. The lamb chops were simply amazing. The borek are light and delicious. My calimari was fantastic. Everybody loved their food. Then we sampled some desserts. These were excellent. Fresh and homemade. Cheesecake was lovely as was the creamy caramel sesster with pistachios and a rish chocolate sauce. Staff were very friendly and helpful despite being very busy. Will return again. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service, from start to finish. Lovely to have the choice of a late lunch at 3pm. Good wine list, delicious Turkish coffee to finish with and Turkish delight.
