Our Favourite Restaurant Diyarbakir Sofrasi at 458 Edgware Rd, London W2 1EJ After a long break since COVID, I recently revisited a favourite local restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The new Head Chef, Mr. Riza, Manager Ms. Eva, and Head Baker Ms. Fidan form an exceptional team, whom I call the "Three Musketeers," for their honesty, sincerity, and warmth. As a vegetarian two days a week, I ordered lentil soup, and the staff thoughtfully informed me it might contain chicken stock. Chef Riza clarified it was only a chicken cube used for seasoning, which I appreciated for their transparency. This predominantly Turkish restaurant offers a fine-dining twist with Levantine influences, making each dish irresistible. Chef Riza’s mastery of the open pit grill, working with various kebabs and grilled dishes, feels like watching a kitchen soap opera unfold. Similarly, watching Ms. Fidan expertly bake bread in the oven is like witnessing an orchestra in motion. Both create an experience that feels like theatre, without the need for a ticket. The staff is highly trained, maintaining excellent service and efficiency. I now frequent the restaurant more often, eager to try their non-vegetarian dishes as well. I wish the team continued success © Ash-Cash and Ash and Karen

Am really surprised this place doesn't have more ratings. This is a hidden gem, fantastic Turkish food, authentic and all at reasonable prices. It's right at the top of Edgewater road but definitely worth it. It's not a glitzy joint, if you want good food and good portion sizes, don't miss out.

We have been using this restaurant for our Turkish takeaways. We ate in once many years ago but prefer to take away. The food is fresh and the staff behind the counter helpful. There is a changing menu of stews each day. It is good value for money in these hard hit financial times.

We were staying in the area and decided to try this restaurant. We ordered starters and main courses which was a mistake! Firstly complimentary starters arrived which were delicious. The starters we ordered were equally plentiful and we still had main courses to eat! Again huge portions! The food was tasty and delicious. Afterwards we were given complimentary tea. The restaurant does not serve alcohol and is cash only so please be prepared. Overall great food and service but please do not over order!!

I have been to London countless times and had tried so many different cousins. Today, I would like to share about one of the best places for Turkish Food. I first enjoyed my dinner about 3 years ago since then whenever I visit London this restaurant is a must-visit on my travel list. About Restaurant: Diyarbakir Sofrasi is divided into 2 portions, from the entrance, it looks like a corner takeaway but the sitting arrangement is in the next portion separate from the kitchen and people are collecting their takeaway food. The waiting staff is mainly female, very efficient, friendly hosts, and quick. They won't leave you unattended once seated. Food: You will be served with a tray of complimentary bread, salad, and sauces even before you place an order (please don't eat all otherwise you won't have room for your order). Food is authentic and delicious, if I'm honest then I don't have words to describe it. I have been to this place many times and never ended up having a check of more than £12 including a drink for one person. This true gem is for those who are looking to enjoy authentic food at an economical price. It is a True Hidden Gem at Edgware Road, London. Do drop a comment if you have been to this place.

Best wings I have had in London. Tried the snake in a basket. Loverly wings. WARNING. The viper isn't for the faint hearted. Another person on my tabe had the K-Town burger cheesy buffalo fries and loved it. Will be coming back to try the other flavors.

My friend and I were in London for just 1 day. It was raining and we decided to find somewhere to eat. I'm so pleased that we found the warm and welcoming ambience of Sofra Oxford St branch. What a positive, elegant space with attentive and polite staff, delicious food and gracious owner Dr Huseyin Ozer who took the time to say hello. I can certainly reccomend and will be returning again soon!

Very mediocre, additional charges to sit in and eat without any notice of this. Sly way of making money.

It was really awful. The service staff didn't take our order for at least 20 minutes. When prompted the waitress decided not to write our order down. 5 minutes later another waitress asked us to repeat our order. The wait for the food was fairly long, the drinks order which we were told was fine by the waitress who subsequently took our order was wrong. Then the food order was wrong. Then the attitude from those working there when we tried to raise it was pretty disgusting. Food is generally pretty good, the service staff just had an attitude of, I don't care and I don't care who knows it.
