Antepliler in Haringey

Food was average. Staff were insanely rude. There’s a man in there that has a temper for absolute no reason. Was telling us to basically hurry up and sit down when we entering. Then was passively aggressively taking our food order. Strangest guy ever.

I’ve been there many times always been happy. But last 2 times i been there completely disappointed. I ordered ali nazik it didn’t has any salt or garlic in it. They brought me ali nazik with mince meat on top which os bot ment to be serve like that. Also i ordered antep lahmacun lahmacuns dough was very thick and dont have any garlic taste in it. Meat was dripping from lahmacun which you can tell this is not how lahmacun ment to be. I haven’t eat my food all the waiter were looking at me and no body come and ask me why i didn’t finish my plate. Also meat was smelling disgusting. I absolutely disappointed after being a regular customer.

Tasted great but gave me and my partner explosive diarrhoea. We think it was the yogurt with herbs that comes with the bread. Obviously can’t 100% prove it but the timing was compelling.

Best lahmacun I've ever had and best customer service. Thanks for all the hard working people there!

Unfortunately, I can’t leave a positive review. The kunefe were ridiculously small for the price, and the overall service setup was quite poor. I have nothing against the staff — they’re clearly doing their best — but it’s obvious they’re overwhelmed and under-supported. The entire business feels like it’s built on show rather than substance. There’s no real system in place, and customer satisfaction doesn’t seem to be a priority at all. I won’t be returning. There are lesser-known places that serve far better kunefe with care and attention. This establishment clearly relies on its long-standing reputation and steady flow of customers, but in doing so, it’s lost its soul and turned into nothing more than a money machine.

The man who is owner or manager shouting at staff he is very rude I never go again.I really feel sorry for the staff.I think his name is Cenk

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service my dinner and I received during our visit to Antepliler Restaurant in Haringey on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at approximately 7:30 PM. Our group of four ordered drinks and requested a bottle of water. The water provided two water glasses, stating that additional glasses would be brought once prepared; however, they never arrived. Two of us ordered lahmacun, while the other two opted for kebabs. The lahmacun arrived promptly, same waiter asked what was our orders we repeated but after half an hour, the kebabs had not been served. Upon inquiring, the same waiter mentioned that the kitchen was busy. Several minutes later, another staff member checked on our satisfaction. I said we are not happy and the second waiter said kebab was run out and chef prepaired newly. When we expressed our concerns, a gentleman with a blue coat and unkempt beard approached, attributing the delay to overcooked aubergine kebabs. He did not offer an apology and seemed indifferent to our experience. After waiting for over an hour and a half, we decided to pay our bill and leave, with two of us still hungry. This experience was far below the standard we expected from a reputable establishment. Given Antepliler Restaurant's longstanding reputation for authentic Antep cuisine and quality service, we were disappointed by this visit. We hope this feedback will be taken seriously to improve future customer experiences. Yours faithfully, Yusuf

Lahmacun is very oily, they serve the oil left over from kebabs to people as lahmacun. I ate 2 of them and got sick. I had 6 take away and everyone who ate them got sick.

The owner is consistently rude to people who are not Turkish. I ordered a kunefe for takeaway, and he told me to sit down; he would call me when it was ready, and it would take about 8 minutes. I waited patiently, but after 23 minutes, I checked the time on my phone and asked him if my order was ready. He then inquired with the person making the kunefe. To my surprise, my kunefe had been sitting out for 15 minutes, getting cold! When I pointed this out, he simply responded, "And?" I was shocked. What did he mean by "and"? It was as if he expected me to eat it cold! I have been a loyal customer for 2.5 years, enjoying both takeout and dining in with my family, to his restaurant and also was placing orders for birthday cakes and buying desserts from the patisserie. After this experience, I won't be returning, and I will be sharing my story so that others are aware of how non-Turkish customers are treated in his shop.

The best ever Baklava around. Great service. I cannot recommend them more highly. Excellent.

Another table that had 6 people and were sitting on a table with 4 chairs and us a family of 4 were sitting on a table with 6 chairs so we decided to swap but the manager started screaming to go back DUMB

Lahmacun was brought after being heated in the stone oven. And they say, if you want, we can make a new one.

Actually, not even one of them deserves it. We ate 2 kunefe and one stuffed wrap. The kunefe was really good, but the stuffed wrap was almost like a stone. He couldn't eat it, the waiters are incredibly lazy and they work dirty. Anyway, I paid at the exit and bought a triliche package. The stuffed wraps come out daily and fresh. Anyway, the wraps are from us, but he also charged the price. I've seen something like this for the first time, bro, you may be making money, some of your things are nice, but your service is worthless, zero hygiene.

We selected this restaurant for our anniversary dinner on Valentine's Day. Despite not having a reservation, we were promptly seated and served. We have enjoyed Turkish cuisine previously, but the flavors at Antepliler were distinctive and memorable. We would certainly dine there again.

This is my second time ordering after a long time… the food is still not nice. It tastes like perfume or some kind of fragrance was added to it. I tried to give benefit of doubt but something isn’t right. They’ve also ruined the salad by adding large slices of tomatoes, pickles and jalapeños to it. The rice was hard and the doner kebab very DRY. Don’t think I’ll have it again. They should consider wrapping the sauces with cling film- I had the messiest delivery.

From the outside, this restaurant looks like a large and well-established business, with three units combined. However, this impression is completely misleading. The interior design is far below average—plain, uninspired, and lacking any character. The staff's attitude towards customers is unbelievably unprofessional and disrespectful. As for the food, the taste is extremely disappointing, far from what you would expect. On top of all these issues, the prices are high. To make matters worse, parking fees in the area are ridiculously expensive. If you don’t want to waste your money, stay away from this place.

Nice restaurant, good food with nice extra's, not expensive.

You cannot eat kebab and iskender at the same time, there is no such nonsense. Especially the old waiter with slanty eyes is very rude

I ordered the large mixed meal for two and for one, the owners were great and the food was of the best quality, from the salad, rice bread and across the meats, the owners are serious about quality, I would definitely recommend this place if you want a good food experience.

The service, service and taste are absolutely perfect. The staff is friendly and sincere. See you on your next trip to London.

I've been visiting this restaurant weekly for the past 20 or so years and have witnessed its incredible transformation from a single location to five. Throughout the years, many people have come and gone, and the decor has changed several times. However, the food has consistently remained of the highest quality. The staff, including the owners, are exceptionally hospitable and friendly, always striving to make every visit a pleasant and memorable experience. Thank you for the wonderful food and service over the years—keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing you next week! ;)

No volvería a conducir durante una hora. Pagué una factura bastante alta por lo que tenemos. Juego limpio si la comida y el servicio eran buenos. Pero el personal era grosero y los niños traían bebidas mucho más tarde. Cuando se les pidió postres fueron rechazados. Quería pedir té, pero eso no era para nosotros también, pero sin embargo, la mesa al lado de nosotros pareja se servía té y probablemente los postres también : ) muy decepcionante cuando elegimos específicamente este restaurante para nuestro aniversario - no estaba destinado a ser nada elegante - era más para la comida, pero nos dieron bien la comida y no hay servicio! Definitivamente no recomiendo a ninguno de nuestros amigos!

Didn't unfortunately take pictures of my food properly because we have literally devoured it. The service is amazing they're very attentive and the food is so so tasty!! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is after some good Turkish food.

Best Lahmacun, raw köfte and Lentil soup in United Kingdom.

We came to have dinner in the evening, but the food was not fresh and they served the food that the waiter wanted to bring with the strategy of selling it instead of the meal my wife wanted. We did not leave satisfied at all. I don't think we will ever come back again.

I have experienced good service and good vibe until i have realised something, I have seen the boss man was very rude with his staff, he was doing modern slavery with them because of that I recommend you guys never go there. Man with white hair you should show some respect to those poor girls.

The best on Green Lanes if you ask me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is a typical Turkish restaurant where you can have, lahmacuns, kebabs and turkish desserts. We have been there four years before. It is now more expensive than other Turkish resturants in London. It was not crowded therefore.

The food was okay, I expected the lamb shish to be more juicy and tender. The chicken shish is good, just needs to be more tender. Overall, good quality food, great service. I like how they always have a smile on their face. Probably, one of the best Turkish restaurant in London.

Generous portion sizes and authentic Turkish food. Best real döner in London.

They do not like speak english. My last visit there

I went to drink coffee and the service was very late. I did not like it and I was not satisfied with the service.

Great food and good amount of food for the price. 2 of us paid £50 each for 2 starters, large meat platter and drinks. Meat was tender and great tasting. Starters came quick but mains took a while hence 4 star. Overall a good experience.

I recommend the doner kebabs, you should definitely try them.

Your packaging method is not good. My second order ended up in the trash like the first one.

We had dinner at this place last night, unfortunately we were disappointed. We made Adana meatballs, baklava and kadayıf packages, but they were the worst desserts I have ever eaten in my life. As a native of Antep, it was a disappointment for me. I don't know why people prefer this place.

Antepliler is a great spot for authentic Turkish food. It’s nothing fancy, but the flavors truly deliver. It’s my go-to place for lahmacun, which is always perfectly done. Their baklava and künefe are also delicious. Highly recommend if you’re after good Turkish food without any fuss.

Lahmacunu , rice and doner and plenty of desserts are realy delicious options.

The service at Antepliler Restaurant was absolutely outstanding! The staff was attentive and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary salad and tea, followed by a delicious dessert on the house. To top it all off, they didn't charge a service fee, which is quite rare in London restaurants. They also have a lovely family cafe, making it a perfect spot for everyone. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place! The service at Antepliler Restaurant was truly excellent! The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The complimentary salad and tea made us very happy, and then we were served dessert. Moreover, the service fee applied in many restaurants in London is not charged here, which surprised us further. There is also a great family cafe for everyone to enjoy. It was a great experience, I highly recommend it!

The people of Antep ate kunefe, but if we hadn't, they were making jokes here and there, don't let people pass through their gates.

We had dinner yesterday as a family, they charged 162 pounds, I have never seen such terrible food, the quality is very low, the service is zero, the food had no taste at all, people are paying money, it's a shame.

Love this place. The food is incredible. Have eaten in previously but also regularly order online, through Just Eat. Recently had an issue with a driver not delivering my food, but the restaurant were great and called me to help. Will keep coming back to them.

Cigar (liver), kidney, heart etc is a very good addition to this restaurant.

Paid for 2 -3 combo, the bolgol to small as well the meat/chicken portion. The price & service, not worth at all. The feeling I had was, why are you here.

They are very angry when they busy, and food quality are low.

the best beauty salon, thank you to Aleh for the nice color, my color turned out more beautiful than what I was looking for, I will visit again, it's a nice place with talented hairdressers, I love you

Thank to the chef for making delicious lahmacuns Had 14 takeaway lahmacuns and all was good mouth watering thank you again

Overrated, rude staff, kebab isn't all that it's hyped up to be, way too overpriced and staff are very un welcoming and stingy with sauces and portions

The food was delicious! We ordered the meat platter for £76 to be shared between 3 people and we ended up having plenty of leftovers enough for at least one more person. One in our group was pesceterian and the menu didn't seem lacking at options at all whether for fish dishes, vegetarian dishes or even vegan. Plenty for everyone. The servers were very attentive and always on top of our needs. This is my second time there and would definitely love to go back again and soon.

Not recommended at all.. food taste is similar with tesco. Nothing was tasty and inside is everything old and doesn’t look as Turkish traditional restaurants

All is great. Staff are helpful. Nice atmosphere. Thank you.

To me, Antepliler Restaurant of London is the best Turkish restaurant in the entire world 🌎 😋

Another great experience. Everything is very nice, thank you. Our indispensable

Harika yemekler, harika servis , mükemmel bir akşam yemegi. Londra’daki en iyi Türk restauranti. Yemekler oldukça taze ve lezzetliydi. Bizim için vazgecilmez

Best doner around. Always fresh.

We visited this place as a group of 13 people, including 5 children, and our experience started poorly. When we tried to order döner for the kids from the neighboring "Antepliler Döner," we were told they could only bring two portions. To make matters worse, they charged £23 per döner, which costs £18 if you eat it directly at their place just 10 meters away—a clear opportunistic move. After that, they took our orders, but the service was chaotic. Before the meat dishes arrived, they piled everything else on the table. Some of us got our soup first, while others received their lahmacun before the soup. Everything was brought in a mixed-up order. At one point, I had to intervene and say, "Hold the meat dishes until the table is cleared; don’t pile everything here." Adding to the disorganization, the waiter who took some of our orders went to the restroom and only informed the kitchen about those orders half an hour later. The table was completely neglected, and we ended up clearing our empty plates ourselves and placing them in the dirty dish area. We had to ask four different staff members to get tea, and it took multiple requests before it finally arrived. Similarly, we had to ask for water three times, and it still took 15 minutes to get it. When we ordered dessert, some of it didn’t even arrive. I had to remind them three times about the rice pudding I had ordered ("I ordered sütlaç, where is it?"), and eventually, the head waiter noticed the situation. He brought two rice puddings, saying they were on the house, but one of them was still added to the bill. The food itself was average—nothing extraordinary. When the bill arrived, I removed the service charge for only the second time in my life. I also pointed out to the head waiter that I had added the extra rice pudding he claimed was complimentary to the bill. I explained why I removed the service charge, detailing all the issues we encountered. As a result, this place has been permanently blacklisted for us. We will never return, and we’ll make sure to warn everyone we know against visiting this restaurant.

We had an amazing meal that included a number of wonderful vegan dishes. And the service was excellent!

Best Döner in London! The exact taste from Turkiye

It's delicious and the prices are average but it matches the taste in Turkey

Sırf bu yağda yüzen acayip iğrenç salata için bile -1 yıldız! I only asked for onion and parsley and they sent a disgusting stale salad. Lahmacun did not look like lahmacun, they put a lot of spices in the lentil soup, it did not look like soup. I threw them all away

Amazing staff, food & ascetics 😍😍😍 definitely coming regularly.

Antepliler is a visually charming spot with a cozy, inviting atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food and drinks didn’t live up to the aesthetic. We ordered two cappuccinos, a Biscoff cake, and a tiramisu, totaling £24. The cappuccinos (£3.75 each) were poorly made, even when requested extra dry, and the tiramisu was unrecognisable and unpalatable. The staff didn’t even enquire as to why we only had one spoon and avoided any feedback in order to improve. If you’re planning a visit, I’d suggest sticking strictly to the Turkish specialties: the kunefe, baklava, and Turkish tea. Skip the coffee and avoid the other desserts, as they’re simply not up to par. Service was okay but not particularly attentive or helpful. In short, it’s a place for Turkish tea and traditional desserts—not coffee or cakes.

I ordered food from here and the plastic bag that they put the food in left permanent marks on my wooden table. I'm not able to remove it with anything. I would advise not to order from them!

The food was very good, but the service was a little slow because it was busy, you can go there with peace of mind.

¡Decepción masiva! He viajado desde Manchester hasta Londres para tener una cocina turca decente. 1 - Pedimos kebab Adana no se parece en nada al kebab Adana es más como albóndigas tan secas e insípidas como soy de Adana si alguien nos da que como kebab Adana se lo echaremos a la cara. Parece que el chef no sabe lo que es Adana kebab. 2 - Kellepaca sopa!! Eso fue más como sopa de yogur para mí. Nada como kellepaca 3 - Ayran! ! Nunca bebí ayran caliente en toda mi vida. Fue pérdida de tiempo y dinero. Nunca más prefiero ir a lugares locales de kebab para llevar mucho mejor que eso ❌❌❌

Este restaurante está claramente terminado - charcharing sus clientes, incluyendo el Servicio - Cobrar sin el consentimiento del cliente y la diferencia extorsiva entre llevar - lejos y comer - en los precios. Permítaseme aclarar estos puntos; El sábado 2 de noviembre, tres de nosotros fuimos al restaurante Antepliler, 46 Grand Parade, Green Lanes, Harringay, N 4 1 AG. La factura del restaurante se adjunta a este correo electrónico. Al final de la comida, incluyeron £ 6. 50 Cargo por Servicio sin mi consentimiento. No pensé que el servicio fuera lo suficientemente bueno para pagar el cargo por el servicio. Creo que los cargos por servicio añadidos por el restaurante son totalmente opcionales y el cliente tiene derecho a rechazarlo. Además, hay una gran diferencia de precios en los precios para llevar - lejos y comer - en los precios. En el día, el comer - en el precio de tres lahmacun era de £ 16. 50 , el precio de salida para tres lahmacun era de 9 libras. 00 . (Consulte el proyecto de ley). La envoltura de pollo para llevar cuesta 10 libras, pero la misma envoltura cuesta 17 libras. 50 para comer. Difícil de entender y justificar un aumento de precio tan grande para el mismo alimento. También me gustaría señalar el precio excesivo que el restaurante está carbonizando en comparación con restaurantes similares en la zona. En la factura presentada, Cop sis tiene un precio de £ 20 . 00 . Los restaurantes de la misma zona cobran entre 12 y 15 libras por la misma comida. En general, fue una experiencia pobre donde tuvimos que pagar una factura grande que no valió la pena. ¡No volveré a comer en ese restaurante! 1 !

Always great food, great service and reasonable prices

Today, around 22:00, we went to eat with my wife and children, the salad served was very stale and very little, the bread did not come with the kelle trotter, it came late even though I insisted on it twice, and the prices are extremely high, it was the last time I went there with my family.

The only mistake I ever made in my life was going to Antepli's, the bread was stale, the salad was literally wilted and yellow, it was brought to the table so it wouldn't go to waste. We wanted soup for 2 people, we also wanted wings, the price we paid was £50, and I argued with my daughter there because of them. I told my daughter to stand up, my daughter said, "Mom, I'm ashamed, please sit down." And I literally drank the soup so that my daughter wouldn't be upset. I've been to many restaurants, Asians, British and Turks. Of all the places I went to, this was the only place I left with regret and was never satisfied. Of course I won't go there again, you have such crazy prices, at least provide a smart service and pay attention to your salads. I don't recommend it at all..

Lamb kebab to die for, Also the best Adana kebab in London, not to mention lahmacun . To be honest with you like every dish in this Restaurant

Unfortunately a bit overpriced. Otherwise the food tasted good.

Great authentic Turkish food. Friendly staff with a nice atmosphere. Plentiful quality food.

Ordered from their takeaway shop and what a beautiful shop it is. The staff were great and so much to choose from.

Friendly staff, very hygienic and delicious desserts👌🧿🧿🧿

We ate 4 kunefe and asked for 2 teas. They charged 4 pounds for tea. Tea should be free in Turkish restaurants.

Overpriced, undercooked food, bad service, limited options for those with dietary requirements and restrictions. Recommend nearby Gokyzu instead for much better quality and value

Delicious Turkish doner, really enjoyed.Service and staff also very well.

The vegan menu section is I'm sure well intentioned - or at least business savvy - but the ingredient implications weren't well understood by the kitchen. We were told one of the vegan pastry items had "just a little" egg. (Note that the same goes for the complimentary bread.) They do have an allergen matrix so ask for that if in doubt. Service was attentive when we checked (albeit with some gluten-related confusion) and what we had was fine but I'd go elsewhere for peace of mind around dietary requirements.

Sobreprecio y cocinado. Ignorado por el personal y se hizo esperar durante mucho tiempo. Los platos estaban fríos y tenían que ser enviados de vuelta a la cocina para ser calentados. No se ofrecen disculpas. La comida era casi comestible. AVOID

Puro robo 7. 50 con una coca-cola comer en . 14 . 50. con pocas patatas fritas lata húmeda de coque 2. 50 Botella de agua pequeña 2 . 50 para comer en te dan la cuenta impactado. se quedan ahí parados sin hacer nada. necesitan limpiar después de ellos. mesas etc evitar allí. .

We ordered lahmacun for our table, only lahmacun came, no vegetable salad or lemon came with it, I told them again and they didn't care at all and that's why it won't happen again.

Katmer was great 💯 thank you for the tea offer

A beautiful place, clean food, and upscale treatment... but the prices are a little high 🙄

I went for dinner with my family, it was nice, it's back to its old taste again.

I expected more from their lahmacun—I'd give it a 2 out of 5. Just a heads-up: if you ask for a wrap, they add mixed salad without checking if that's okay with you. Also, I wasted money on the ayran since it had mold on top

I have been this place many times. If you wish to eat authentic baklava, this is the place that you must go. Doner kebab is mouth watering. Lamb shish is delicious. Lahmacun (Turkish pizza) look no other place than Antepliler! Few months ago, I have seen that they introduced lamb liver kebap! I had question mark in my mind, I wanted to try it. Lamb liver?! I can not belive the taste! amazing! I was speechless. I went back again with my girlfriend to eat lamb liver following week ! She did not want to eat first! She had doubt about!when she started to smell of the liver kebap, she said, yeah let's try! She bite and her face changed! She said absolutely delicious' then she had full wrap lamb liver with cola. This is the best Turkish restaurant in London

Very good. I have been a few times with my family and it has always been consistently of a high standard.

Always great going here. My favourite place to come. Staff are so lovely, so friendly. Food is the best, my dad took me here and now I send everyone to this place!

Always good food. Epically the chicken donner wrap. Can’t wait to go again !! Staff are all friendly too. I think it is a bit expensive but other than that there are no problems.

I ordered 3 spicy lahmacuns for takeaway. Normally, I would have to wait 15 minutes, but after only 2 minutes, the guy at the counter, thinking he was clever, said my order was ready. I figured they must have had some already prepared, so I took it and left. I just got home and opened it up—no spice at all. Clearly, someone else's order must have been canceled, and they gave it to me. Keep thinking you can fool customers with your non-existent intelligence, bro. With that mindset, you won’t achieve much in life. I’ll never come back again, and I’ll make sure to tell everyone I know about this.

Guy was to busy watching football on some guys phone on another table, + £20 for this!! 55 min wait

It's not worth it unfortunately, had better from tfc supermarket. Servers had our orders wrong even though all was written down and entailed on their system and the venue was terribly too cold. The air conditioning was on full and I understand that it is a patisserie that needs a certain temperature but that is what display fridges are for. I wouldn't step in here again, friendly but slow service, seen servers just talking amongst each other and ignore orders being called by the 'chefs' Not worth it.

The service was great, small portions on food.

First time as a sit in customer. Loved the dessert and turkish tea. Only negative, is that i was sat at the back near the kitchen and smelt strong cigarette smell every time the back door was open grom the kitchen, which put me off.

Few years ago was really good food, but went recently and the meat was really hard and chewy, and for the next few days when ever I burped the smell of the lamb would come back to my mouth, which was foul, so the meat really messed me up, but the deserts were the best, which is what Antep is known for initially.

The food was ok, but too overpriced for what you get in my opinion.

With over 30 years in the hospitality industry I believe this is the worst place that I’ve been to , the quality is poor the service is poor, and you can’t have a tap water for a little kid ,the toilet are unclean, never again ….

Outstanding place, excellent service and a great vibe. It felt really relaxed and a real mixed group of diners. Every dish was excellent! You can have desserts at any of the offshoots of this place. Great for catching up with friends.

Bad restaurant. Food, staff and prices outrageous. Invent any dishes and call it Turkish food. Look for an other Restaurant

I bought 8 Lahmacun and it’s cost me £24. It was really nice and cheap you guys should go there for Lahmacun.
