Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in London! Seriously good Turkish food. The dishes we’ve tried were all very flavourful, using fresh ingredients. The highlight for me was the aubergine on garlic yogurt and the oven baked bread with smoked yogurt. We sat by the bar overlooking the chefs preparing the food. The staff were friendly and kind. Everything was just great. I will definitely come here again (already thinking of coming on my birthday), I can’t stop thinking about how amazing the food is here!!! I can’t recommend it enough.
A hidden gem just off Carnaby Street. Looks small from the outside with a few tables in the window and around the grill but there is also a much larger space upstairs. We received a warm welcome on arrival and the very helpful waiter made selection easy. Lots of choice and different/usual ingredients but everything went together perfectly. Will definitely be back.
Excellent Turkish fine dining. We got the muhammara, pide bread, bbq potatoes, sea bass and beef fillets, and they were all delicious. We were told only the beef is halal, and not the lamb or chicken.. so make of that what you will.. The prices are steep but it’s expected for central London. The portions are fair compared to similar priced restaurants imo.
AMAZING! Came here for dinner last Thursday evening and everything was 5/5! Great cocktails, amazing food and really friendly service. Can’t wait to go back! Didn’t get a picture of the mains as couldn’t wait to try it all!
Very good location in the crowded central London, but away from tourists. The food is fantastic and the service is warm and friendly. Me and my friend both really enjoyed it. This also gave me a good start before heading my first trip to Turkey!
