Capital Restaurant in Haringey

It's not the best Turkish food, but it's not bad, too!

Always amazing. Food is of great quality and portions are considerably large. Staff is incredibly nice and constantly offer you either an entry, a dessert or both

Food is very very very very good Staff is very profecional and kind . I love this place Recommend. 😁

Lovely Turkish breakfast with a very generous portion, the service was great I couldn't fault it and the outdoor seating is nice although it is loud due to being just by the main road so I think sitting indoors is better if you want to relax. I've dined at 2 different Capital restaurants multiple times and they're consistently good 👍🏻

Everything is really delicious. All the portions are big. And complimentary meze plates and salads and dessert in the end are really satisfying

I eat here regularly, if I don’t dine in I takeaway and the food is always absolutely delicious. Of all the Turkish restaurants in Wood Green and haringey they are by far the best and most value for money. I have never had a bad experience in all my time dining here

Good turkish restaurant. The food is really tasty, particularly the grilled meats, meals come with complimentary salad, bread and dips. Plenty more seating upstairs.

The food was very good. But the staff was especially great, fast and friendly.

I visited "Capital" on the last Thursday in January. It was an excellent dining experience. From the moment I walked in till the moment I left, the service was excellent - prompt, efficient and polite. Many other more sluggish restaurants could learn how to operate more effectively from the staff at "Capital". There was no drumming of fingers on the table, gazing around and wondering when the menu might finally arrive or when the requested bill might appear. The food was scrumptious. At "Capital" as in many Turkish restaurants, you receive free appetisers before the main meal arrives. Mine consisted of lovely warm pitta bread, a bowl of colourful salad, a serving dish of hummus, another of tzatziki and a third of some kind of tomato-based salsa. It was all fresh and delicious. Before the initial spread was finished my lamb shish kebab arrived with grilled peppers, rice and some more homemade pitta bread. The meat was cooked to perfection - tender and tasty. I have sung the praises of "Capital" to my family and friends and I am gobsmacked that the restaurant has attracted a handful of negative reviews. To me, "Capital" was brilliant

I went into this branch to order a meal to take home. The service was good. I was offered tea while I was waiting, which I found nice, not all places do that. I enjoyed every part of my meal it was nice, fresh, and the potion was large. I had enough food left over for lunch and dinner the next day.

Nice food, good place, service a bit slow but they were so busy. Doesn't look appealing from outside but inside of the shop is a different story with a nice atmosphere. Food was varied and tasted good.

Love this restaurant, my waitress Melek today was soooo lovely, amazing service really friendly and sweet. Thank you Melek! I had a very lovely dinner :)

Highly recommend, food was very tasty and service excellent!

Lahmacun great. However chips over cooked. Not easy to chew. Nuggets some okay.

Delicious, good amount for great price

My favourite Turkish restaurant in Wood Green.

Great food; mixed sharing platter was generous, tasty and hot on arrival 👍🏽

Food was good. Lahmacun amazing.

Incredibly generous and warm. Very good portions. High quality taste.

Great food with generous portions. Very good value for money. Toilets could be warmer

Top group off workers in the restaurant has a bus driver the food always come at the right time

Nice food and Good value for money

Great delicious food as always thank you so much

Lovely food. Definitely recommended!

Food and stuff disaster. I never recommended.

Everything was great! Welldone. The lamb beyti was beautiful.

Lovely food, but the only thing I would say is service charge was included which I feel it's up to me whether I wanner leave a tip or not. The onions in the salad also tasted off.

Lahmacun, chicken shish, icli kofte was good. Thanks

Absolutely ridiculous. 6 chicken nuggets for £ 8.95. Capital restaurant mocks with me and my kid and my family. People don’t order from this restaurant. Absolutely crooks.

Very late. Couscous was lapa and stuck together. Icli kofte was good came with yogurt and sauce. Nuggets good. Lahmacun good. Mox kebab good

I brought my business partners to try turkish food and capital definitely hit the mark, the experience for them was outstanding and authentic. Definitely recommend for people to try.

all of the food was amazing, they gave me and my family a really good service

The service is amazing, they offer tea, desert and salad and dips and are so so sweet and nice !!!!

I am giving 2 stars; because the food was not as good as it once was. Very busy today in the restaurant! I ordered some doner kebab; the guy got my order wrong but made changes immediately. I was overcharged which was bizarre considering he knew what I ordered. I did not complain or make a big fuzz because, I'll win my money back on the scratch-card I brought earlier.

Food was very under par today Not had a problem before

Capital is amazing! Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. Personal thanks to Anıl for his excellent service. 💯

We came without reservation, and we had a table immediately. We ordered mix seafood. While we were waiting for our main, the staff served us free salad, warm bread, hummus and yogurt sauce!! Our main plate was a big portion of really fresh seafood (king prawns, mussels, salmon, calamari in a tomato and pepper sauce). We asked for more bread, they did not charge for it. When we asked for the bill the staff offered us Turkish tea and bakala, again for free! So plenty of food, salad, tea and dessert for £30! They have in the menu a lot of different kind of kebabs, also a vegetarian version, which it is very convenient now days. The restaurant have a lot of staff serving, so usually do not wait long time. 100% recommended. Sure we will report again!

Great restaurant, really friendly welcoming service and amazing food

Lovely team, always ready to surprise you nicely, delicious food, fresh ingredients!

Great customer service from the restaurant

Never again. I used to go very often but not any more. Food are tasteless;price is doubled but portions halved. Absolute disgrace. Sorry capital I will never come again.

The place is really really nice, the food is also great , I had a good time doing breakfast in this place

Good food. Delivery decent time.

Great restaurant. I can confirm that the kitchen staff have been in that kitchen for over 15 years. That tells me a lot about this business. Quality of food is unbeatable, even better than some of the posh ones around the city. Not great parking options

Food was really tasty and hot on arrival 👍🏽

The sauces spilt and went on all of my food.

The food tasted good . We ordered a set meal. Portion was good . Lots of things to eat.The toilet is clean.

This restaurant is really good..! The food is fresh and tasty! Also, they have a reasonable price.. The waiters are very professional.. I highly recommend it.

we went on Saturday night for dinner, there were few tables there weren't many people.. the eating is no longer like it used to be.. the service is quite horrible, they give you food as if to make you go away, they don't respect the starters, they bring the main courses immediately, very careless, they are not professional, I will never return to this place again. They need more training as they not professional.

Highly recommend food quality is good staff excellent price excellent

The breakfast here is awesome. Take your friends and family but make sure you have ample of time to enjoy not just the food but the experience.

The best Turkish restaurant in London!!!! Highly recommended Pistachio kebab is my favourite 🥰

The food was 10/10! I had the chicken shish with yogurt and was delicious!!! The Atmosphere upstairs was lovely, very cozy and warm :) Really good service, attentive and kind, we will definitely come back!

Can you please start making proper lentil soup? It’s watery and barely has any taste. Don’t be greedy and try to sell water like soup. It’s not cheap. Also the salad that comes with it also has strange taste it’s like they cut anything and put inside the salad, cheap produce too

I ordered soup, even though it was sealed it got spilled all in the box and carrier bag. Half of it gone…..not happy at all!!! ☹️

Great food, great business and lovely staff

Invited to lunch by an old friend and Capital was suggested as a place that had quiet corners upstairs where we could chat without muzac or chatter . . . It was perfect for our purpose, helpful, polite and smiling staff, excellent food and drinks and the promised quiet corner. We ate, drank and chatted steadily for over two hours with attentive but not intrusive service and no pressure to go though well into the afternoon.

I recently visited Capital Restaurant in Wood Green, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. Their outdoor seating area is a bonus on a nice day. What truly stood out, though, was the food! I highly recommend trying the Haka – it's tender, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The Gulesh was another highlight, rich and hearty, with the spices balanced beautifully. And if you're a fan of chicken dishes, the Aikan is a must-try – succulent and bursting with flavor. From the excellent service to the fresh ingredients and authentic taste, Capital Restaurant has easily become one of my go-to spots in London for Turkish cuisine!

Old friend and I wanted a quiet corner for a very long lunch to catch up . . . We spent most of the lunchtime and afternoon enjoying good service, good food and each other's company. The mezes are greatly recommended as are the vegetarian options. Salads are good, not the cheap flavourless stuff many places use!

My first time to eat in here and I'm so impressed with everything, not to mention the best quality of food and very polite services given by the crews. The place is so clean and descent that good to bring guest and friends in there. Also, the food budget is so reasonable as you have free starters and free desert after ordering the main dish. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic food and quick service would recommend this place to anyone

Even though we came in near closing time, all the staff offered an excellent service by genuinely caring for our experience and happy to find the best food to our taste. It was refreshing to be greeted and attended by such caring people! The mixed shish was seasoned amazingly and was heaven with the fresh yogurt. Leaving the restaurant with the complimentary cake and tea was the perfect way to end the night. Total bill was £70 for three people.

Had a really nice sea bass, nice guys, very generous free starters, great place

It's been my 1st restaurant since I came in London.Since then most of times I have been there even oeganizing birthdays.Amazing atmosphere, super friendly staff,quick service and delicious food ...10 out of 10!!!

Our visit was really pleasant, the service was really nice. I did not have any issues with the quality and taste of the food! Amazing flavours, nice portions! 😁

I went here on 18th for the first time, and whilst the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant cannot be faulted, the service from the handful of waiters and waitresses was lacking whenever my friend and I were about to request drinks. I cannot understand why when the restaurant was moderately busy.

Delicious food!!! Very attentive and friendly staff. I loved!!!! Thanks

Nice atmosphere,plenty table/chairs,clean inside and outside. Service good,starter and salad tasty,the stew was good,also the given us the complimentary cake,I think is semolina cake and tea. Nice location if you go for shopping in Wood Green.👍

Food is amazing my favourite local

The meat doner although it was ok wasn’t as good as expected. There are better ones you can easily find in London. But if you're around and hungry, it's alright.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was really delicious. The service was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome throughout our meal. Special thanks to Mr. Diyar for his help.

I took out a pita sandwich and it was very filling and delicious for just under 6 pounds! This is a store that I would definitely like to use again.

The food was very nice, thank you very much to diyar and ibrahim, great service, super ❤️

Thank you for your wonderful and warm service. Diyar and Ibrahim were very attentive and friendly. We loved the food. 🙏🏻

Prices were too high while the food was not as delicious as it could be .

Me and my family come to this place at least 5 times a year, we celebrate alot of our birthdays or occasions at this place. The food is delicious and great value for money. Their service is always great. There hasn't been a time we've been disappointed with this place, they are always consistent with their food and service.

Great food and service, only let down by other customers who started smoking next to us in the outdoors seating area. Unfortunately their smoke, by the wind, literally kept getting blown into my face. Not the first time we've been seated next to smokers, perhaps section outdoor seats for smokers and non-smokers. The outdoor seating area is an L shape following the sides of the building, hide the smokers round the otherside near the library 😀, thus also benefitting new customers not having to walk through a mist of smoke when walking towards your door.

Great choice of food. Our food was so tasty and service was excellent. We will be back.

As nice as always, the supervisor/manager is a top G. Food is very tasty, not expensive, and perfect for family or friends. Or even alone. A must go place.

Restaurant has improved immensely but some staff dont know about good service requirements. Food was great, lots of staffing around, drinks sold not cold but plenty of ice which i dont like because it dilute the drinks you have asked for! Overall very good

I would give this place 5 stars for eating in which I have done on many occasions. Just do not get a delivery! The “salad” was just red cabbage & way too much onion, I didn’t receive any couscous as advertised but just gloopy over salted rice! The meats in my mixed shish were ok but borderline over cooked, especially the chicken. I will go back & eat in but not order a delivery again!

I have been coming to this establishment with my family for many years now and it is the benchmark against which I judge other Turkish restaurants.

Best turkish food amazing staff & cocktails 🫶🏽

🍽️ Capital Restaurant: A Taste of Turkish Treasure! 🇹🇷✨ We had an unforgettable dining experience at Capital Restaurant at Wood Green that was truly Turkish 🇹🇷 delight! From the moment we sipped our refreshing drinks, we knew we were in for a treat. 🍹 Drinks: We kicked things off with a refreshing 🍓Strawberry Virgin Mojito and🍹a Tropical Crush that were crush-ing it! These drinks were a fruity, fizzy way to start our meal and were a sip-erb way to start our evening, setting the tone for a feast full of flavor. 🍓🍍 🍞 Pita Bread & Salad: We were welcomed with warm, fluffy pita bread and a fresh, zesty salad - talk about a start that set the bar high! The pita was so soft, it practically melted in our mouths, and the salad was crisp and refreshing. It was the perfect prelude to a meal filled with culinary delights. 🍗 Chicken Beyti: The Chicken Beyti was beyti-ful and spice-tacular! This spicy marinated mince chicken, seasoned with garlic and grilled over charcoal, was the real star of the show. Served with rice, it was a dish worth clucking about! 🔥🍚 🦑 Calamari: Our calamari was squid-tacular! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a tangy tartar sauce. It was a real catch of the day! The highlight of our evening was the exceptional service from Melek and Can (if we’ve got your names right!). Their friendliness made our first experience with Turkish cuisine even more special. 🌟 Melek: She’s the queen of smiles! Melek's warm, genuine smiles were more than just eye candy - they were a real treat for the soul. Her kindness was so heartfelt, it was like a smile from the heart was on the menu and it was like she was serving happiness on a plate. 😄💖 🌟 Can: Talk about calm and collected - Can was the epitome of serenity! His soothing demeanor and thoughtful explanations of the dishes made our meal all the more enjoyable. He was so cool under pressure, he should be called Can-do! 😎👌 Together, Melek and Can made our first Turkish food experience a true delight. Their exceptional service was the cherry on top of a wonderful meal, making us feel right at home. 🍒💫 Dessert was the creamy, dreamy Turkish Rice Pudding - a sweet ending that truly pud-ding our taste buds in a happy place. 🍚 And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Melek treated us to some traditional Turkish tea, rounding off the evening perfectly. 🍵 Melek’s warm Turkish Tea was the cherry on top of our first Turkish food experience. 🍵❤️ With a warm and comforting atmosphere, beautiful food presentation, and top-notch service, Capital Restaurant delivered a true dining experience. We’ll definitely be back for another taste of Turkish hospitality! 🇹🇷 #CapitalRestaurant #TurkishDelights #FoodieAdventures #ChickenBeyti #SquidTacular #DessertGoals #TeaTime #DiningExperience

Recommend! The best Turkish food!

Disappointed in the quality and taste of the food. Rice and couscous overcooked (mashy texture) and super greasy, the meet was too dry, and no yogurt for one of the orders, that usually comes with it. No drink for the kids menu or anything complimentary for an order of over £100…

They forgot my Lamb Doner Roll and I asked for Lamb Guvec and Fasulye. They gave me Chicken Stew. Extremely disappointed in their lack of attention.

all the time amazing service all the time and the food 10.of 10…..amazing ❤️❤️❤️my favourite restaurant with my family for big family party and friends is really amazing food ❤️❤️❤️

We had the turkish pizza and it was very cold.

Delicious food and very kind staff, we love the restaurant!

Good restaurant for food portion and value for money as I’m a big eater also better than kervan etc

the aubergine salad was off it was not fresh the spicy red sauce had a nasty taste negative reviews they food was not fresh I paid nearly six pounds for aubergine salad and it was off

Found worm in food wiggling around my durum, called up to let them know they laughed at me and told me to find a doctor.

Best restaurant for halal and tasty food.

Excellent service Very tasty food 😋

the doner chicken and chips i ordered is horrible, chips were soggy and the chicken doner was very dry

There was a party upstairs and the bass from the music made not only a very loud noise but also made the metal surface fixtures vibrate. No apology when we asked what it was. Our food had just arrived otherwise would have left. Onions in salad tasted off to both of us so we couldn’t eat it - waitress said we weren’t first to complain, that they were trialling a new way of slicing them that made them taste not very nice! To top it off gents toilets were unusable with vomit on toilet seat and in a general state of chaos. All in all a bad experience.

For me and my husband was the worst experience ever. We went for lunch and after 6 hours we start having severe vomiting . We have been in hospital for 2 nights as we had food poisoning. Iam currently pregnant and it was such a terrible experience being so sick and the having the fear that the baby may be harmed from the food poisoning. We will never come back. Please check the food before serving to the costumers as you may put in risk their lives. I don’t think anybody wants to experience what me and my husband went through this 2 days.

They got adana kebab, when i saw IT on the menu IT was a no-brainer.

I love this. You 1 simple chicken soup and they'll give you plenty of other stuff for free 😊
