Ceylins Restaurant in Merton

The food was absolutely amazing. From the starters to desserts. The staff were lovely and very attentive

The food is amazing, the price is reasonable, and the service is outstanding. We will be back soon

I dine here every weekend with my family. We absolutely love it here. Food 10/10, Price 10/10, Staff 10/10, overall 10/10. Highly recommend.

I’ve dined here before and the grilled meat is really good. I ordered a takeaway and got conned, they advertise 6 wings and chips, and they displayed the grilled chicken wings I was familiar with but what arrived were tiny, dry and tasteless wings. This plus an equally tasteless basic burger with fries cost over £20+ Extremely disappointed and expected better based on my previous experience.

Nice place to have dinner with your family Thank you so much for your effort to make our celebration amazing. Thank you,thank you, thank you. Everything was amazing - service on the top level ,with a lot of attention to the details,food - mouth watering, atmosphere can't be more welcoming and home feels. Definitely you are on the top of my list. Highly recommended

Lovely warm welcome and delicious food. Can't fault this place!

Food was lovely , friendly staff & definitely will come back again

Recommended 👍 Persian food under Turkish name. Good!

Local restaurant that I've had a good experience in during first 4mths of its opening. This most recent visit wasn't a pleasure one because of the choice of dish. "Spaghetti Bolonanese" Mince was under cooked, you could smell rawness of the meat,and the dish was very oily, from meat fat. Very disappointed on this occasion.

Great food and service in a lovely restaurant. Great way to spend an evening eating out. Will definitely be coming back.

What a hidden gem, lovely restaurant friendly staff will definitely be back.

Great service and the portions are just perfect. Come with a big appetite!!!!

The maitre d’ was really wonderful. Such excellent service and detail - the pride and effort she clearly takes in her work really shone through. Some of our food was really nice, other dishes not so much. But overall, definitely worth a visit.

Food was overpriced and the portions were all wrong, our 6 year old was served a mountain of pasta, and our 8 year old got 3 chicken nuggets and a tiny portion of fries. Adult meals were nice but overpriced, and they got our order wrong.

A very friendly and Family atmosphere, with excellent service also a variety of delicious mouth-watering meals. Then there is also professional delivered Karaoke to top your night towards the end of the week. Go and see for yourself.....

Always good Saturday night vibes created with live music, dancing and friendly people. Love this local place

Had an amazing evening there. Food was superb and loved the friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back to try more!

Disgraceful problem with the bill

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED DISAPPOINTED BIRTHDAY PARTY. MY BOYFRIEND AND MYSELF FIRST ONE'S THERE 5.45PM THOUGHT IT WAS THE MANAGER TURNS OUT WAITRESS.I NEVER GOT ANY FOOD. I ASKED FOUR !!! TIMES SHE TOLD ME IT WAS COMING. NOW ITS NEARLY 10.30PM FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED MY FOOD AT A RESTAURANT. I WILL NEVER GO BACK NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. THEN BEING CHARGED FOR STARTERS AND MAIN COURSE 😡 WHICH THEY PUT ON THE BILL ??????? PEOPLE CHECK YOUR BILL THOROUGHLY!!

Excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices and really decent food and at affordable prices. Will be back. For the first time I tried Persian food, it was so nice 👌🏻 good food and service and atmosphere, definitely hope to go back.”

Had the Sunday lunch, absolutely disgusting. No flavour looked 2 days old. Nasty. Reast of food really nice. Stay away from Sunday Roast

Had lunch at this restaurant with a family member yesterday. Wasn't busy, pleasant ambience. Ordered lamb chops with fries and salad. Absolutely lovely. The lamb chops was seasoned nicely. Loved the garlic and chilli accompaniments. Would definitely visit again. Would love to attend when it's their happy hour and karaoke night.

Went here for mother's day it was the best day. Food drinks excellent 👌 the service was excellent. Better still just down the Rd from where I live. Will be going back. Staff was very friendly. Absolutely the best mother's day ever ❤️ 💗

It was not good at all, rude manager.

my rib was green and turned purple absolutely disgracefull

First time visit, family meal, Warm welcome with a professional service from the host and hostess. The cooks cooked excellent starters and main meals. The atmosphere is how I like it! I would recommend going with no hesitation! Great food, great potion sizes!

Hello! Thanks for the great job! We had a great evening with my husband! great live music, delicious food and helpful staff! I recommend!

Very good experience and I am very pleased

Very good food and amazing service 👌

Wonderful restaurant and service too. I highly recommend it. I intend to return soon 🌟

I have eaten here more than once. The food is really nice and well marinated! The ambience is tops, very clean and cosy restaurant. Good place for events. Excellent customer service. The staff are friendly, very accommodating for people with nut allergies! Highly recommended! There is plenty of free street parking. Very easy to find!

We ordered 4 starters, 2 mains, and I can't remember how many cocktails, although the food was not 5 stars, I give it 5 stars because the service was excellent, the waiters were super polite, the food arrived on time even though all The restaurant tables were full, which we found very surprising. It is definitely a good place to go to eat with the family. I recommend it

Cold and Old. I will never step foot in this restaurant again. Their service is ok, but we went there for food to eat because we cannot eat service. They served cold chips, cold wraps, and old and cold, hard calamari - that tasted like a three day old fish finger that had been refried, if you can imagine, in fact I didn’t even chew it, I bit and it crumbled and fell. Anyway I do appreciate the staff trying to rectify the issue and hand delivery a new calamari as-well as refunded the calamari.

Popped in here on boxing day for an evening meal, the restaurant was dead quite as you'd imagine it to be this time of year. The waiter was welcoming and sat us down. The restaurant was nicely decorated, the chairs were cosy, the sofa seats were comfortable also. There was an immediate sign of lack of cleanliness, the mirrors on the walls had large smudges like someone had wiped a dirty hand against it, the menus were sticky and the plates that came out had stains. I ordered a mix grill which came out nice and fresh, the only criticism was with the chops which were a little chewy, possibly cooked from frozen? The toilet facilities were disgusting, extremely dirty, no food establishment should have facilities in this state, if I had seen the toilets before the food came out I would have left! The cleanliness really killed this place, otherwise it could have been a decent spot.

Went on Christmas Eve. This place was great for my big family. We made a reservation for 9 people and the table was set for us before we arrived. The food, drinks, and service were all top notch! Our server Helen was absolutely lovely as well. Parking was easy and the place is very accessible. Would definitely return and recommend this place.

I attended this restaurant as of yesterday 20th of December with a party of 11 along with another set of friends a further number of 15 or so to have our Christmas party and reunion and was totally disappointed with our food. The starter I chose was king prawns in a tomato sauce of some kind and when it finally arrived, I was dismayed with the portion size of the king prawn which shrivelled to what looked like shrimps. When I pointed this out to the manager he proceeded to show me from the kitchen a bag of frozen King prawns to justify that it was and instead of normally giving 5 he gave 8 for 7.50 . My cousin ordered vegetables soup and one would have thought hers would be the first to arrive when it was the last and given to her in a small bowl luke warm which had to be reheated in a microwave which tasted like a CAN soup and not made from the kitchen. The calamari over cooked and rubbery and the platter for two was a lot to be desired especially the spare ribs burnt far to much chicken over cooked and one piece of Lamb kebab to share for 2.The salad was of a slimy appearance and didn't taste fresh. Apple pie given to another guest was soggy and not freshly made but a shop brought cheap brand purchased instead. Pinacolada sickly sweet and no alcohol to taste when it sat still it started to curdle I couldn't drink it despite given on the house. The atmosphere we believed was on point because we requested to have the karaoke lady to come on the Wednesday instead of her normal night Thursday because some of us went the month before and my first time we did have a phenomenal night hence why we booked to go back for our Xmas party. At the end of the night the karaoke singer was told by the manager who is Turkish to not come back because she sang to loud as two white customers refused on staying because they felt it was too noisy and apparently she was told about this before and tried to sack her right in front of our eyes as paying customers. The majority of the customers who happened to be black plus the singer was totally shocked with the way she was unfairly treated and kicked up a fuss in support of her especially with the bad management behaviour. I will never go back or recommend anyone else to go there.

We ordered a takeaway of 8 Lamacun which by definition is a Turkish pizza that contains meat and herbs wrapped up and only are the wrapped us. These guys decided to charge £6.50 per lamacun, we ordered 8 in total which is normally extortionate but also decided it was a good idea to give us 4 lamacun and then divide 4 Lamacun's into slices which has never been seen before and say that is 8 Lamacun. They gave the excuse that we ordered a pizza type Lamacun (Doesn't exist) and then gave the excuse that Uber Eats takes 20% so that justifies conning us. They know exactly what they are doing and tried to guilt trip us. Avoid takeaways from this place!

Very filling! The Sigara Borek, feta cheese wrapped in filo pastry was very nice! Probably best to share rather than spoil your main like I did.

there was an issue with the heating and it was very cold, but it was handled well and eventually sorted out. Staff were lovely and food was great. Would recommend.

My friend and I met at Ceylin's for Sunday Brunch on 29th October although, the visit did not start well, the experience was 'rescued' by the lovely blond lady who looked after us, once we actually got in! We had a delicious meal in a great place and, not only was she attentive but she made us feel really comfortable and welcome, throughout. I live locally and had no idea that, this little gem existed on my doorsep. I look forward to returning to try other dishes on the menu. They really deserve more patronage and, I can only hope that more people - local or otherwise, discover it!

The best meditranian food and good place for party

Excelent! What a surprise, my friend took me there on saturday afternoon, quiet, lovely decor and atmosphere. The food was lovely, very very fresh, healthy, good portions, my friend had the lamb shank woww! ...even a lovely Ice Cream! Will be back soon.

Clean place, reasonably prices, great vibes.

We had a meal on Tuesday night for three.the food was superb as was the service. This was our first visit and we will be back.

I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in Ceylin's restaurant. I have ordered lamb beyti with beer. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want to spent a quality time. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups. Truly recommended to anyone who loves Turkish cuisine.

I was very satisfied with the service.

Made us all sick, food not good at all !

Excellent food and service highly recommend

Just had fantastic meal here great value and service john the manager made me and family welcome even the kids he wa playing and joking with them nice to see a family friendly restaurant definitely going back thanks John and team for making me and family welcome

Beautiful food and atmosphere, Always a warm welcome from John. Best pina colada's and the lamb is amazing.

Garlic mushrooms and calamari filling... mixed platter is a go to cooked to perfection great taste. My lil local i visit monthly 😝

This is our local and it such a lovely decorated and clean restaurant. It's so nice to have such a nice place with tasty good to eat just walking distance away from my mums house. The food is fresh and tasty and the cocktails are delicious. John always greets every costumer with a smile and provides an exceptional service. Thanks for having us...we ways have a great time.

Great experience Tasty and with good size portions. Staff welcoming! We were a large party and price at the end was surprisingly good. definitely will go again. Highly recommended

Great local restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff

I would like to apologise to people who have experienced what they consider to have received a bad or poor service I will be looking into this as this is not normal and this is generally confirmed by other reviews left on. Here and also other review sites and will be taking steps to correct this whilst I would also like to add staffing levels are low and we are looking and have been looking at this and trying to employ more waiting staff hopefully this will improve soon as we also have a couple of part time staff off to sit the final exams which as a business we obviously I support. Now to a more serious comment about seeing a mouse in the restaurant please be assured all hygiene measure are in place and the restaurant is checked by a licensed pest control company monthly and have never found any evidence of rodents but as a measure I have asked them to increase the amount of devices in the restaurant and the visit to check have now been changed to weekly we have just had an inspection from FSA (food standard agency) environmental health who also found no evidence of anything relating to pest control and awarded us a 5 hygiene rating as well take all aspect of hygiene very seriously and I would point out we are the only restaurant take away in area to have a 5 rating Again I would like to apologise to any person who has received or appears to have received anything less than a high standard of service from our restaurant I will look into this as well but we have recently changed owners it has been a bit of a challenge in the transition and the fact we gave some staff time off to sit their final exams and yes as I said it has been a challenge finding new staff but we are doing our best and any customers that know me know I am a man of my word all the issues raised are and will be dealt with thank you for your time John restaurant manager

Great service & food , John’s one in a million

I have been twice to this restaurant. One for father's Day a year ago and quite recently. Both very different experiences. For father's Day the restaurant had more atmosphere, more people, waiters and looked professional. A few weeks ago was a completely different experience and I don't think I'll be going back. Empty restaurant not that this is a bad thing, but why is it always empty. Everything we tried to order off the menu was out of stock! Waiter or owner not sure who he is, was also smoking outside which and then came in and took our orders, that didn't sit right with me. Ordered a burger with chips - most underwhelming burger I've had at a restaurant. I could do one better at home! Flat unjuicy burger and shop bought oven chips. Nothing special.. It's a shame really as I had high hopes for this place. Not sure why so much has changed from a year ago but I have to be honest. I might give it one more try....maybe....as price is ok.

Best Turkish Resturant , staff were very polite and friendly, fantastic atmosphere and service. I highly recommend this Resturant.

This is a fantastic Turkish restaurant. We heard how good the food was from a friend and we travelled almost 70 miles to get here. From the moment we got in, we were pleased with staff attitude, their customer service, starters and food. Price was very reasonable. I cannot recommend this highly enough. We will be visiting soon again.

Grilled meat is very tasty in this restaurant. I advise everyone to try it.

Loved it. Took Hubby there for his birthday dinner and had mixed meze for 2 and a family platter for 2-3 people. The Lamb was very tasty with a very flavoursome spicy coating. The rice and bulgar mix was also very good. The chicken was juicy and tasty as well. And, definitely worth mentioning it, was the double espresso. Hot, black and strong, as it should be. Yummy..... Well worth a visit.

Tried this place for lunch not long ago and saw a massive mouse run along the bottom of the benches and into the back!! Will not be returning here again.

Surprisingly active place. I stopped by after work for a mocktail and food. Sat outside in the sun. I usually find Pollards Hill around the shop to have gangs or groups of kids loitering, being not so quiet when dealing and occupying the outside space. So either I was lucky that they managed to get rid of them. Just one street drinking drunk guy hanging outside the shops towards the end... but that sadly nothing unusual in London. I got there around 6 pm. Ordered a Mocktail and the signature burger meal. The food arrived in good time, it was filling, the patty was meaty and tasted like good quality meat with flavour. They did not skimp, and I had to take half home. Always a plus when you get a tasty treat for later! By 7ish people started arriving and by the time I finished eating, while listening to an audiobook, it was pretty busy. Even so, I didn't notice because I was looked after. Service didn't slow down for me. I did notice when the karaoke started, and I felt like I sat down in a community of people. They seemed friendly. If I wasn't so introverted at that time they seemed liked, they would have pulled me into their fun evening. In all, it made me feel welcome, and I know I will go again for a reward or maybe tea and ice cream. Hidden Gem 💎

When entering the restaurant there were only 2 others sat at a table together, instead of greeting me and my other, the waiter just gestured to sit and when he came to take our order he did not once look me in the eye and ignored me to instead talk to the other i was with. If you cannot even acknowledge a guest thats all I need to know to not spend a penny. When the breakfast, the one i was with ordered, had arrived (after 20+ minutes...in an empty restaurant) it was completely underwhelming. Overall bad experience, will not be back.

My family and I liked it here) Delicious food and good service!

I've been a few times, the food is really delicious, but what a man who pretends to be the owner does is disgusting. Always sitting outside With cigarette smelly hands, and later collects orders without wash them . Change service. I understand that the owners are acquainted but seeing so many negative opinions about his behavior and not changing anything, you will only lose customers .An unpleasant, terrible man because of which neither I nor my son intend to return. When my son was waiting for me outside with my dog ​​while I was buying coffee away at this exact restaurant, he kicked him out and told him not to sit at the table in front of the restaurant. Which I thought is for customers. Very rude and I will not leave it like that because my 9-year-old child is now afraid to go this way.

I have been here a few times with family and we have always enjoyed the lovely food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff, good portion sizes and good menu choices. I will be back and would recommend.

Order from here a lot as it's a decent price and quality, however there's no consistency in what they deliver. Sometimes sauces are included and sometimes not, sometimes additional bread is there and sometimes not. On deliveroo you can't even add sauces from the menu so the whole meal becomes quite tasteless when they don't add sauce. Not sure what to expect next time you order...

Not much flavour. Meat not of great quality n very dry Disappointing and some compared to the reviews.. Get what u pay 4 I suppose...

I absolutely love the food here... I have dined 🍽 in and ordered and never disappointed. When I was sick I order from here regularly 🙌🏾😅 my favourite I the Seabass and the full platter 💙

Wicked place, great vibe,staff.

Very tasty food. The owners are polite and kind. We will return with pleasure.

Huge choice of delicious foods, friendly staff and warm atmosphere. Highly recommended

Food was amazing and the staff were so nice. Definitely visit here regular for food!

Food good service good will go and try different food next time owner is polite

Went here for my anniversary as it was local and halal. We opted for the mixed grill as it seemed quite appetising. When it arrived it was indeed a decent portion but it was loaded with chicken wings; much less lamb items by comparison. Despite this the food was delicious and flavourful, service was brilliant and it was a nice quiet place to enjoy the evening. It is somewhere I may come to again in the future but would go for individual menu items rather than the sharing platters

I love this place. The food is Amazing! The atmosphere is just right. Always guaranteed a good time whether laydeez night or time with the family. Xxxxxx

Great place, fresh food and great atmosphere

Place was clean, food was ok but the male that took my order had an off putting attitude.

Great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended. Would happily go there again.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food

Fantastic restaurant, great food and welcoming staff, if you have not tried it yet give it a go you won't be disappointed.

Me and my husband have been wanting to try Ceylins restaurant since it opened and finally did tonight. We were certainly not disappointed. First of all the service was amazing, very polite host and welcoming, friendly family atmosphere. Then the starters were very tasty and fresh, followed by very tasty, not dry meat and finished with a lovely sweet dessert. The food was delicious and generous portion size. We will definitely be coming back again. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Thursday nights are the one, eat, drink and karaoke 🎤 wicked night

Food was more than excellent, it was outstanding!!! Service brilliant and owner very accommodating at a price that suited. Cannot recommend this place enough. I'll consider stopping in this area again simply for this restaurant!!!!!

We have eaten here on numerous occasions and the food has always been exquisite, very good value for money. The staff are very friendly especially John who is always happy and very helpful. Definitely worth a visit you won't regret it.

Good Turkish food, very likeable staff, good ambience. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great addition to the area, with reasonable prices and friendly owner and staff. Various themed nights along with nice drinks. A nice choice for breakfast.

Love the atmosphere. Tasty food and large portions. Local, classy and comfortable venue. Friendly staff. Featured nights. Lovely cocktails and happy hour. Highly recommended.

Really good food and affordable prices. However, it's the atmosphere that really makes this place really special. The owner is super friendly and makes everyone feel very special. Highly recommended!

Me my partner and baby came here for my partners birthday the manager on duty today was very friendly even made a effort with my baby high fiveing her clapping her hands and blowing raspberries with her we said in conversation its my partners birthday and the manager surprised us with a cake and candle for him and happy birthday music the food was the best Turkish food we have ever have and will deffo be returning food and service spot on and will be recommending to friends

I really enjoy dining here I love that it’s right on my door step, which is convenient and that it’s a quiet and relaxing place to dine. I have been here for many a reason from my parents anniversary to just running in to grab a quick brunch with friends and each time the owner has been sure to make sure we are satisfied and enjoying our food and he is always open to any changes that can be made to better customers experience. The food is tasty and affordable the ambience of the restaurant is lovely also. I quite like the fact that the location is residential as it is great for locals to bring their friends and family to dine. I will be returning I’m sure very soon in the near future…(iA)

It was truly a family affair as my family were celebrating my Aunty’s birthday. We received great customer service…and the food! The food was absolutely delish!!!!

I went on a Sunday lunch with my sister and we ordered fries, falafels and fried calamari for starter and then ordered a shared main platter for 2 with a selection of different parts of chicken and lamb and it was so much food and so delicious. Normally this type of food is on the salty side but this was perfect for us, well cooked and tender, not one bit was dry and the owner who served us was a nice man. In the end it was so much we needed two boxes to take the food home. we will come back there for sure. I hope it stays open and does well.

Lovely evening , came for o my husband anniversary, will definitely be coming again . Amazing staff…all so kind!

Just spent my 5th visit and as per usual loved it! We celebrated my partner and his beat mates birthday. This was the first time for our friend's and their family and they loved it, already vowing to return with other family members. Thanks to John for the hospitality of all your staff members and once again making us feel welcome x

Lovely food. Nice decor.....friendly staff. A hidden Gem 💎

Just the beSt anywhere around here.

Excellent food, very friendly atmosphere, very attentive staff. The whole experience was excellent.

Was just about to give up on London's hospitality until we ran into this beautiful place.
