Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very comfortable restaurant, delicious food and staff are so friendly and attentive. We had the Turkish borek followed by chicken shawarma and beef chilli burger, both were cooked well and were great value. We were tempted by the Turkish Baklava and were not disappointed. Would highly recommend this new restaurant in Balloch, the terrace out back is beautiful also for drinks or food. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you MAVI!

We were unsure of this restaurant at first when looking at the building. How wrong can false perceptions be, as from entering the establishment to leaving we had a fabulous time with great food. The waitress and owner were very helpful and the drinks order arrived promptly. Whilst the restaurant caters for a variety of cuisines, we both went for Turkish dishes. The msrinated chicken shish kebab which tasted great. Also the mince stuffed grilled aubergine went down well.. The other added bonus is that on a Monday evening, a local amateur folk music group (or club) use this venue as their meeting place - thus we were welcomed in and able to stay to listen to their music and singing, which made for a entertaining evening. (Please don't take this as them being expert musicians, as many would have got the red X on BGT) If we are back in Balloch next year, this will be on the list to return to on a Monday evening.

Owner unlike his staff is sullen and unfriendly! We could not swop the big breakfasts items for something else even though we were prepared to pay extra, not everyone likes what is offered. Won’t be back!

Owner Mavi
Very surprised to read your review, we always try to do everything we can to give our customers the best experience possible. We are able to “swap” out items on the full breakfasts, unless it is something we don’t stock obviously. We also would never say no to someone wanting to purchase something extra on the menu, as we are a business, so I find this hard to understand . Our menu is very varied with lots of different breakfast options if you don’t like a full breakfast. At the end of the day if you don’t like what is on offer you are free to dine anywhere you wish. As for your comments about the owner I am the owner of Mavi and I am a woman. Thanks for taking the time to leave your “feedback” Have a nice day. Gemma

Our second visit, once again travelling to the Vale of Leven hospital, and it was every bit as good as our first. We both had avocado on toast with two delicious poached eggs and extra bacon. The place wasn't full at 10am but it was busy and our lovely waitress was rushed off her feet. She still made time to check on us all. We will be back.

Had a delicious meal and cocktails with my wife at this new restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and staff were very attentive. We had borek and trio of haggis for starters followed by ribeye steak and chicken shawarma. All cooked perfectly, my steak was so tender and pepper sauce was lovely and shawarma was so tasty. We shared a baklava after, which was made in house and it was scrumptious. We have also popped in for breakfast and coffees which was tasty and great quality. The coffee was best I have had in along time. Will return soon to try out the Kebab platter it looks awesome. Thanks again!

Beautiful day, so I decided to pop to Balloch by Loch Lomond and enjoy a wonderful 3 course meal. I started with the trio of Haggis, and I really do have to recommend this. Mains was the steak pie and mash, and the steak melted in the mouth, absolutely loved it. Finally, the traditional dessert of Baklava. Again, don't understimate this delicious dessert. The service from the waiter was outstanding from the moment of entering to the point of leaving, and the staff were really warm and welcoming throughout as well as the lovely guests in the restaurant. It's very clean. Great views at the window, very comfortable and a really friendly speedy service and tended to your every need. I could not fault it at all and will be recommending it to others and returning. A real asset to Balloch by far. I look forward to the next time. 🤗

The best thing about this restaurant is the friendly staff. The food is ok but the friendliness of the staff is second to none. We were made to feel welcome, we were able to give feedback about the meal and we found the whole experience relaxed and friendly. Well done to front of house staff. You create a lovely friendly space to be in with friends.

This is the second time I'm sending this review, as the first time it was not showing on the reviews. The only reviews are a huge list of 5 star reviews!!!. The quality of the food does not match the cost, way over priced, my sisters soup was still bubbling from being in the microwave to long, you don't get any side salad or garnish, the actual restaurant looks lovely, and the staff are great, but the food is basic, could cook better at home myself.

if this restuarant keeps up the standard we have just experienced it should reach no. 1 very soon. The food was delicious - we had sea bass and chicken wraps followed by the most mouth watering apple pie and chocolate fudge cake. The two young members of staff on the floor were very friendly, very efficient and good knowledge, Really could not fault it. the appearance of the restaurant, is bright and even although it was a hot enight was very cool

We actually visited Mavi three times during our stay in Loch Lomond, breakfast,lunch and dinner. All three meals were excellent and we had excellent service from various staff on each of our visits. The quality of the food was top class and the friendliness of the staff made it a very pleasant place to visit which is why we returned for a third time during our stay. If you are looking for somewhere to eat during a visit to Balloch then you won’t go wrong with choosing MAVI. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

We visited this establishment earlier today. The food was absolutely gorgeous. The owners was so welcoming and friendly. We had just missed the cut off time to have a full Scottish breakfast on our trip to loch lomond (which we was so excited to have) and the owners kindly offered to cook me and my sisters one anyway and welcomed us in with open arms. Honestly 10 out of 10 service well worth the price and we will definitely be visiting again xxx

I almost don't want to say how much I enjoyed myself in case the place gets too popular! I had beef steak tacos after seeing a nearby diners meal arrive, it was divine. My husband had the chicken kebab and that was great too. Lovely garnish and salads on the plates. We stayed for the Monday night folk club which was a delight all round, such talent and good humour, very delightful. Lovely bottle of very reasonable priced Rosé wine too.

One of the best restaurants in Balloch really. Despite only being open for a few months, Mavi has built a reputation for itself with locals and tourists alike. I went for the Steak Sandwich with a side of fries and Cajun Sauce. The cajun sauce is absolutely delicious; , and the steak was perfectly tender and juicy. I also had the pleasure of trying Burek, which I've became a massive fan of! If you are in the mood for a fantastic meal in Balloch, don't miss Mavi. It's the best restaurant in the area for miles!! Staff are friendly, polite and attentive too, and can't do enough to ensure you enjoy your meal. The cocktails are also fantastic and really delicious - the Strawberry Daquari being to die for!
