Yeliz Turkish Restaurant

You'll find Yeliz tucked into The Old Rectifying House on North Parade, which tells you something about Worcester's willingness to repurpose its past for better things. Walk in and you're met with that warmth Turkish restaurants do best—not forced, just genuine. The meze spread here is where you want to start: proper hummus, smoky baba ganoush, those charred pepperoncini peppers that make you keep ordering bread. The grills are the main event though, whether you're after lamb shish or their house specialty chicken. Prices sit comfortably in the ££ range, which means you're getting quality without the fuss.
