Diyarbakir Restaurant in Haringey

We were really pleased, he made very delicious kebab, there was a master on Friday, he took great care of us.

It's a very nice restaurant, we went as 2 people and We ordered breakfast for 2 people and everything came very quickly and there was so much variety it was incredible and we only paid 38£ Thank you very much to the staff and I will definitely come here often

Unfortunately, I did not encounter a pleasant situation in terms of quality at the place I went to over the weekend. The soup was cold and the bread was stale. I did not leave on a pleasant note regarding the product and service.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Diyarbakir Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with rich, authentic flavours that delighted the palate. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was perfect. The atmosphere was incredibly charming and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I highly recommend Diyarbakir Restaurant for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine, top-notch service, and a lovely dining environment.

Always on point Top quality food…

This Resturant is the best I’ve been to in years. The service was genuinely great and the staff were all welcoming and very friendly. I was really impressed me and my family.

Fantastic Service! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back here 😁 best in North London

If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine in London, this spot is a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and the aroma of grilled meats and spices. The mixed grill platter was a standout — tender lamb, juicy chicken, and perfectly spiced köfte. The meze selection was fresh and full of flavor (the hummus and ezme were top-tier), and the homemade pide was soft, crisp, and straight from the oven.

The food was excellent, we had the mixed shish which came with delicious rice and salad and sauces which accompanied it perfectly, the portions were perfect as was the guy who served, we then finished with Chai and some rice pudding which was provided Gratis and a lovely touch, the price of £35 including tip was well worth it

the foods well baked and delicious also the service is very nice i recommend this place and the waiters very kind :) 10/10

went for a spot of lunch, ordered three meals with staff who barely spoke English, only my son‘s food was delivered and then we had to argue over where the rest of the order was before what Little we had was given for free. Do NOT recommend and would not go again

We ate meat doner and casserole with my friend. It was excellent. I will come again. It's a great place and the service is very good.

It is not worth it, everything is tasteless and there is a delay in ordering

Very nice and friendly staff, good was amazing

Excellent staff and service, very kind! Would definitely come back, food is great too! :)

Terrible experience. We have been visiting this restaurant for the last 15 years, but we won’t be returning again after this evening. This restaurant used to be incredibly welcoming and friendly, with generous portions and outstanding service. Since the renovation / new ownership it has absolutely plummeted in every sense. Food portions are small, tasteless and very expensive. And the service is even worse… Rude and unhelpful staff, as many other people are stating both here and online. After arriving, nobody was there to greet us or even show us where to sit down. After grabbing two chairs, we found our own menu from a separate table (the remains of that customers food were there both on arrival and exit, with nobody clearing the table). After our orders were finally taken, our starters never arrived. We requested bread, twice, which also never came. We asked to speak to a manager, but as he supposedly couldn’t speak English he wasn’t able to help us either. The moment we stood up to leave we were immediately directed to the till to pay for our food, which was the most interest anybody showed since our arrival. We won’t be back. Absolute rubbish.

Rubbish restaurant it has declined so badly I use to go there with family for many years now I will not go again today I went table are left with dirty dishes not cleaned I ordered starter did not come I asked for bread it did not come the plate of salad was 95% carrots I asked for the manager to complain they got me a person claimed to be the manager later on told me he is not the manager but only a worker. Rubbish experience rubbish restaurant rubbish staffs never I will go again

Restaurante de basura que ha declinado tanto que solía ir allí con la familia durante muchos años ahora no voy a volver a ir hoy fui mesa se dejan con platos sucios no limpiados Pedí entrante no vino Pedí pan que no vino el plato de ensalada era 95% zanahorias Pedí que el gerente se quejaron me consiguieron una persona dijo ser el gerente más tarde me dijo que no es el gerente, sino solo un trabajador. Experiencia de basura restaurante de basura personal de basura nunca volveré a ir

Terrible food , we just wasted £90 . Unbelievable I won’t even feed this food to my dog , we left almost everything on the plates . Poor service and zero management. Restaurant is cleanliness is zero too . None of the restaurant staff speaks English. Stay away guys

Awfully slow service, rude staff and underwhelming food! Do not believe the other reviews! Absolutely disappointing experience!

The food is perfect but the service is poor but the restaurant looks nice but it is very busy we went there on Eid al fitr so it was busy

We came out for Eid celebrations. Our usual place - Diyabakar Kitchen - had queues that were too long. So we decided to try elsewhere and stumbled across this place. Usually I wouldn't leave a bad review but I have to warn people about this place for the following reasons: 1) Service was terrible. We were told instantly it would be a 40 minute wait for the food. It wasn't busy at all. Usually, Turkish restaurants along Green Lanes bring ample salad, bread, dips etc. They eventually gave us some limp looking salad and a few pieces of dry bread to share between 4 people. I could get over this usually and wouldn't complain but with a long wait, this was frustrating. Anyway, issues with service don't end here. There was one clear 'boss' who was running around the place stressed and shouting. Shouting at workers, not dealing with customers properly. Rushing around. It created a negative and stressful atmosphere which wasn't nice on an evening meant for celebration. The mood was ruined. 2) I saw a table eventually being brought their food. A massive platter of meat which looked incredibly dry. They were clearly annoyed and all got up and left without eating or paying. I was ready to ignore this. But it happened again. And then a third time. And then a couple were arguing about incorrect charges on the bill. And finally as we left a man was arguing with the stressful boss as he had asked multiple times to just pay for what has been brought out and just wants to leave and doesn't want anything else. 3) The most important bit. The food. I could ignore all the above if the food was delicious. Far from it. Dry unseasoned and burnt lamb ribs. Tastless chicken breast. A bit of dry cold rice. Hardly anything on the plate. A sad looking tomatoe. I have never been so frustrated. What a waste of £70. Avoid this place at all costs. Go to Diyabakar or Hala down the road. Or there is a KFC opposite.

Good restaurant with excellent food

It’s good place to eat some food just like the other places around Green Lane, the staff’s are nice and friendly. They give you free salad and bread. But their prices and portions sizes could be better as they charge £5.20 for 1 litre bottle of water, £4.50 for 1 Lahmagun and £16.50 for chicken doner.

I came to Diyarbakır restaurant upon recommendation. The service was really great. The food was delicious. Thank you to Onur for his hospitality and sincerity. I recommend it to everyone.

I can say that it is the best iskender I have eaten in London. Of course, we felt like we were in our friend's restaurant, not only because of the food but also because of Mr. Onur's attention. I plan to come back again and try everything on the menu. I would also like to thank them very much for their special attention and treats when they learned that I was fasting. 🐸🤗

Lovely food and great service from all staff especially Onur, recommend the lamb beyti as well as the sütlaç!

We would like to thank Mr. Ferhat for his friendly service and all his tastes. I recommend. Especially the kebab varieties are excellent.

Onur was very hospitable and ensured that all went smoothly. The ribs in particular were magnificent so I came back again for them.

Absolutely lovely staff, specifically Onur. I had dinner here twice and got the lamb ribs which were absolutely delicious.

We would like to thank Mr. Ferhat and Mr. Onur for their friendly service and the special flavors of Diyarbakır. We recommend them.

Great Turkish food and amazing service. I've been here a number of times and this place never fails to disappoint. Shout out to Onur for making our latest visit memorable

Onur was so kind and very helpful! The food was delicious and the customer service from everyone was wonderful! I will definitely visit and recommend as it’s such a beautiful welcoming restaurant. Thank you! :)

Celebrated my birthday here and straight off the bat we were pleased with the interior. Feels luxurious! The food was all cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature and timing. Ferhat served us and was consistently attentive to our table, making sure we were fine. He even offered us free Turkish desserts and tea! Generous and kind of him to suggest. Another man, who seemed to be the manager was as attentive as him and visited our table twice. It’s very rare to get a service as such. I will definitely come back to this lovely restaurant and for sure recommend it to friends!!

Best of the Best, please provide Kazandibi sweet

it was cold and did not taste fresh the lamb not happy

Disappointed, 14 mezes and no rice included with the platter ???? I want my money back

I went in for a take away, staff is friendly, kind and professional, food is really good, defenitely recommended.

Been going to D for 14 years, it was my place to go for the perfect lentil soup and home made baked bread, and other. Portions used to be good size, and good quality salads. Now its just small sizes and cheap ice berg salad you get in any chicken take away. I had lamb ribs, barely had meat on them. Since the renovation took place, the site also changed its humble character and now is only profit oriented and no longer making customers happy.

If you are looking for a Turkish Restaurant in England, this place is very, very enjoyable and the staff are both friendly and attentive. 100% recommended.

I ordered online and missed most of the order was missing When I called I asked do you deliver thru ubereats the man said yes, when I said if I give you my address you can check my order, he acted like he didn't understand telling me we don't do delivery Don't waste your money or time here WILL NOT be ordering ever again

I went there after seeing the Diyarbakır sign, but I realized that it had nothing to do with Diyarbakır. There was no smiling face or interest, it was dry as hell.

Amazing food and services highly recommended.

The food in this place is really good, well seasoned and well prepared, smoked aubergine was delicious . The portions seemed to be smaller for the price. The service needs improvement.

Owner flirted with my 15 year old daughter plus you musnt cook food on charcoal until the charcoal is ready ignition smoke is not ideal!!!

Been going there for at least 10 years! I love the food and the service everything is always perfect! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Last time i ordered Full platter family bundle and it was more than enough for 5 people. Love their meze aswell

Absolutely shocking experience! We went as a family for breakfast, and both the food and service were appalling. The bread served to us was stale, and the soup was cold. We expressed our disappointment, but the response from a female staff was equally disheartening and extremely rude! A truly disappointing visit to Diyarbakir Restaurant on 69 Grand Parade, Green Lanes in Harringay.

Without a doubt the best Turkish food I've ever had outside Turkey. Don't know why I didn't come sooner. Incredible meat, starters and service. Well done.

I go to this restaurant few time and I have a great experience each time. Food is authentic and consistently good. What’s most is the service, the staff are always welcoming. Haringey Ladder is famous for Turkish restaurants, I tried almost all of them and this is the best among all.

Lugar muy concurrido que sirve comida auténtica a un precio razonable. El servicio estaba un poco apresurado, ya que estaban ocupados un sábado por la noche.

Everything was beautiful. Thank you Diyarbakır restaurant

The best food, the busboys and waiters inside are very nice, always smiling and the waiters are also smiling❤️

Best wrap I have had for a long time. Everything was very fresh. I now know where I’ll be coming every time.

Food was not special, high prices and paying additional service fees without informing in advance.

It was a disappointing and frustrating experience we ever had in a restaurant. We were a group of 11 people on New Year's Eve. We were expecting some delays, but the experience left us frustrated and unhappy. It took 40 mins to get a glass of wine or any other drinks, 40 mins waiting for our cold meze, and in the end, the waitress said she did not order it. When we received it (1h40 mins later), we ate with no bread due to the waitress being effortless. We had to ask for bread 4 times. The waitress was so careless and rude. Very disorganised when placing orders. We were notified 40 minutes after we placed our orders that they had run out of fish and lamb chops, leaving 3 of our orders delayed. One person in our group was forgotten and only had his meal after everyone ate and after we raised our complaints loudly. When we asked for the manager, the waitress refused to call him. We had to find the manager ourselves, and he apologised several times, reporting the staff left him in a frustrating situation by not coming in. The manager gave us a 25% discount in the end, but the experience left us feeling unhappy.

Great Turkish flavors to choose from. The durable arrangement is elegant, airy and spacious with a modern touch. I ordered lamb chips with rice along with the plate for others. I had a pleasant experience and was shown excellent customer service. A modern restaurant with stunning views from the seating area. I highly recommend it.

I went here with my family to have a New Year’s Eve dinner. Food was not great and we have been charged for items what was not announced or agreed in advance. The menu was on the high price compared to what you get on the dish. This is not worth it. The dinner area smells grilled food and smoke which was uncomfortable sitting. Toilets are dirty and not cleaned regularly. I recommend other places for Turkish restaurants for much better food with same prices. Note. be careful when you paying the receipt afterwards. Always ask for the detailed receipt for items which are not requested for (including the unannounced fee of 12-15%).

place very nice place to go the food is amazing and the customer service is brilliant I'm really happy recommend people to go and enjoy the food

This is ridiculous. I paid 150 pounds for food that didn't even taste good. The meat was oily and was not good. When we went to pay we saw that we needed to pay 40 pounds service. I think the point of an restaurant is that u get service and dont need to pay an fee for it. So the food was not good and we needed to pay for things that weren't even announced.

Was not so delicious. Rice was tasteless. Meat was too fat and dry. Too much service tip the service was not anounced.

Very bad service, doner kebab was too much fat. On the end they charge more than what the actual price was. The price is higher than the quality of the food

Diyarbakir es uno de los lugares más notables en la carretera Green Lanes en el norte de Londres que alberga varios restaurantes turcos. Tuve el privilegio de ir recientemente por primera vez durante el período festivo, y me impresionó la fantástica calidad de la comida, así como el servicio eficiente y amable por parte del personal. El precio es razonable dada la ubicación y la cantidad de comida proporcionada, aunque tampoco es insustancial. Sin embargo, recomendaría encarecidamente a los fanáticos de la cocina turca para hacer una visita al restaurante Diyarbakir.

Very poor service old man with glasses looked like he had enough of working

Pleasantly surprised. The food was really good. I went for the prawns, and it was delicious 😋

A wonderful, clean restaurant. The staff are very nice. Of course, the restaurant has been renovated in terms of seating and the general atmosphere. I recommend it

Lahmacun was very cold and not fresh. I couldn’t eat .

Good food. Good service. Friendly atmosphere. Clean and tidy.

Absolutely devastating experience I had here a couple of days ago. I came in, Waiter said would you like to sit here I said no I'll sit at the back...now the restaurant was virtually empty so only a few people eating keep this in mind. I sit and im waiting 2 mins, 5 mins, 7 mins...Waiter comes after me calling him and says it's only me I said yes just me eating...he goes off and then another customer comes in and practically gets served STRAIGHT AWAY...now nearly 10 mins go by and I'm still waiting!!! While seeing this other customer who's literally just come in getting served straight away. I picked up my jacket told the Waiter I've been waiting 10 mins for service and you still haven't served me while this customer just came in and he's practically eating. I said it's utterly disrespectful and diabolical negligence and inconsiderate towards your customer, I'm absolutely disgusted...and walked out. Terrible terrible terrible service!

“El mejor restaurante turco en Londres!” Rara vez soy tan positivo en una crítica, pero este lugar se lo merecía todo. La comida es excelente, el personal amable y puntual, los precios son muy honestos. Todas las carnes son sabrosas y claramente frescas, así como la verdura. ¡Vete!

One of the best grill restaurants in London

Staff could not have been more helpful. Good was great. Nice little extras of salad, bread, tea, dessert all free. Highly recommended.

Very kind waiter, got a meal deal it was so nice. Good portion of chips.

Excellent experience, from the variety and quality of the menu to the kindness of the staff. Highly recommended!!! Try the tender marinated and grilled chicken fillet, special softness and flavour! Also tried ravioli with yogurt, excellent, and lentil soup, Lamb and aubergin. Very good bread, tzatziki and delicate sauce. A 15' walk from Manor house. Go there.

breakfast sharing platter was a feast! everything was flavourful and beautifully laid out. Eren had very friendly, helpful service too :)

I Understand Better the Difference Between Diyarbakır Restaurant and Diyarbakır Kitchen. Restaurant Chef Onur was very warm and inviting. The atmosphere is really peaceful. There are many options in the menu. I call it Diyarbakır RESTAURANT once again for the service and the smiling face of the employees. 🙏

I bought two takeaways from here. The staff were really well dressed the restaurant was very clean. The food was very fresh and tasty. 10 out of 10. I really like the branding as well and the way they packaged the takeaway food was super high-quality and you could taste the freshness.

We ordered two soups and two manti. Manti should have been without any sauce but they brought them with yogurt. Unfortunately service was bad. Food doesn’t tasty.

My food was delivered to the wrong address. I want a refund on my food.

Visited Diyarbakir restaurant on numerous occasions, their food is always amazing. Service is very good, staff members are attentive and friendly. After recent redecoration the place looks beautiful. My favourite place to eat out and in my opinion one of the best Turkish restaurants in London!

I was charged large lamb dinner instead of small lamb dinner that I had ordered and was served.

Amazing resturant, amazing service, and amazing food I am very happy with Diyarbakır Resturant and the staff are all very lovely I use them for company dinners and food service for our clinic Thank you From Mediwell Team

Lovely decor. Friendly staff and good service. But we didn’t go there for that. My wife and I went there for a date night feast of meats. We were not disappointed. The sharing platter was piled with juicy lamb chops, chicken shish, lamb shish, wings, kubedeh, and accompanied by rice, bulgar wheat and the fluffiest warmest bread you’ll have this side of the Bosphorus. Delicious. Couldn’t finish it all. So much great food. Never had a bad meal at Db. One of my favourite food spots in London.

Food arrived really cold and portions/ quality do not reflect price. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Lovely new decor, haven't been for a long while, used to be a much smaller place and the decor is great. Unfortunately at this particular time (10.30pm) the food was slightly lacking (ordered jumbo platter with mezze) for 5 of us but just wanst jumbo enough. Taste was not as succulent and fresh tasting as it used to be. Just.my 2 pence worth.

Never had Turkish food like that .too hard lamb meat like eating chowing gum .even not sure it was lamb meat .pay food ,left the rest of food with the manager to think about the food they served . not recommended at all .

Had a sit down Lamb Shish with Turkish bread and salad. Lamb was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just under £25.

Really good place to eat in green lanes

Pretty good and delicious food..yjr portion of lahmacun was really good and affordable

Good place to find delicious traditional Kurdish food. Their plate is big enough and portions are not small comparing to Turkey. I can argue that their Pacha Soup is the best in the town.

I am very pleased with the service, food and atmosphere.

I enjoyed Kurdish food. Nice service, very polite and supportive.

Great attentive staff, food was fantastic, setting was beautiful. Really really good venue. Would recommend even for large parties.

Puedo decir con plena confianza que comer en un entorno tan ejemplar con estándares de cocina encomiables, fue nada menos que maravilloso! El personal es tan respetuoso y cortés, en particular el camarero, Kechan (espero que haya escrito eso correctamente). En general, es una experiencia encantadora para tener con la familia tan altamente recomendable!

This was my single best dining experience in London ! The food was delicious, with generous portions. The staff was incredibly hospitable and attentive. The decor is really nice in the new part. I had a great time and would recommend 100% !

I think we booked here by accident as there is another Diyarbakir further up Green Lanes. However, the food was really lovely as seemed very reasonably priced so we were very pleased by our mistake. My husband had the aubergine which was gorgeous. I had the vegetable beyti which was very rich and tasty. Our friends had lamb which they said they enjoyed. The owner was clearly really enthusiastic about authentic turkish food and generously gave us a couple of free dishes and a cocktail as he overheard that it was my birthday recently. I was suprised it was relatively quiet for a Sunday as it was in my view better than many of the other restaurants further up the street and certainly cheaper. I would eat there again.

Paid almost 30£ for 3 starters. We asked lamb liver, we have been said that wasn't possible to go, so we replied that thank you we will leave. In order to let us stay they magically found liver, but after eating it we realised it was probably a bit old beacuse they almost deep fried it to cover the bad quality. Falafel were also disappointing and probably made with frozen mix. Don't recommend it at all.

Disgusting lamb and chicken döner full of salt couldn’t eat it. Just throw your money in the bin🤬

Fui a comer aquí con mi hermana por primera vez ayer. Parecía estar bien al principio, ya que no tuvimos que esperar mucho para hacer nuestro pedido y la comida llegó rápidamente; la comida era simplemente estándar, nada bueno como otros restaurantes en los que hemos estado. Cuando terminamos nuestra comida, simplemente nos sentamos allí y esperamos durante siglos para que nuestros platos se limpiaran, fuimos totalmente ignorados, lo que nos confundió. Incluso cuando pedí un contenedor para llevar (era como tener que 'llamar' la atención de un camarero antes de que saliera corriendo) , no le impulsó a despejar nuestra mesa (otros camareros pasaban constantemente y servían o despejaban las mesas contiguas, pero no la nuestra) ! Simplemente nos sentamos allí, otras mesas fueron despejadas de inmediato y sirvieron un pudín de arroz de cortesía. Eventualmente llamamos la atención de alguien y le pedimos la cuenta... un miserable y desdichado anciano llegó para tomar el pago de inmediato, tampoco le interesaba que la mesa no hubiera sido despejada... ¡tomó el pago y se fue! Le dije a mi hermana que no se fuera ya que nos intrigaba si alguien nos reconocía. Supongo que el camarero finalmente vino a despejar la mesa como habíamos pagado en este punto. Despejó la mesa y se alejó, sin ofrecernos el arroz con leche. Le llamé de nuevo y le dije que quería el arroz con leche como todas las demás mesas... ¿me miró fijamente y me dijo 'quiere arroz con leche'? En realidad no queríamos el maldito arroz con leche, pero el punto era ¿por qué no nos lo ofrecieron como a todos los demás en todas las demás mesas? Se fue y no pudimos soportarlo allí ni un momento más y nos fuimos. En retrospectiva, deberíamos haber eliminado el cargo por servicio. Claramente no cumplimos con sus "criterios" de cliente en este establecimiento draconiano. ¡Evite a toda costa!

Delicious, but a little fatty, and appetizers come for free 👌🏼

¡Qué sensacional kebab! ¡Yo pedí cordero y pollo! Buena comida, muy afortunado de tener esto en mi ciudad local. Hablan turco también : )
