Ekin Restaurant in Camden

“For the past 15 years, I have been dining at this restaurant and I can confidently say that they serve the best kebab around. Everything is consistently fresh and top quality, with a warm and inviting atmosphere!”

We’ve been coming here for years, and have appreciated the quality of food and service, with reasonable prices. Sadly, all of that that has changed for the worse. The price increases aren’t justified (24.50 for 10 prawns), swimming in garlic). Orders are forgotten, friends of the restaurant staff are given priority service. We won’t be back.

Me and my wife’s go-to Turkish restaurant in north London. Better than anything you will find in Green lanes.

Bet restaurant in London! Great taste and great price! Portions are really big and worth what you paid for! I always order from them and no other place!

Been there few times,food and service always super

Great service,friendly staff. Food delicious and plenty of it. So good. Rice and salad, couscous and lots of soft flat bread, to accompany our kebabs cooked over coals.

Best Lamb I ever tasted in a Turkish restaurant.

I just have the chicken shish,and it was one of the best i have a very long time.People are so friedly,everything very fresh,is so clean,that whay you expect when go aut for eat.Defenetly recomended.Well defenetly come back for sure!!

Both mezes and kebaps are really tasty. Definitely try Lamb Shish. It is our favorite as a family. The owners are really kind and friendly. They are creating an ambience feeling you like at your own home. One of the best Turkish restaurant in London.

Fantastic place with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Very nice atmosphere. Will happily visit again.

They didnt provide us service because we are speaking Turkish :)))

Had a lovely dinner tonight, the vibes are amazing, service is good. Very friendly :) They offered free tea as well

Ekin never fails. We've been going to this family run Turkish restaurant for a few years now and everything is always delicious!! I'd recommend the wine leaves, kisir and sucuk for starters. Yogurtlu with chicken as a main (served with rice and salad). Thank you Ekin!! Looking forward to enjoying another evening there soon!

I feel this is the best Turkish restaurant in town for excellent service and the food is sublime. Cannot go wrong with this venue top notch.

Always pop in here when at work on the motorbike best food, service and price. Thanks Tommy

Great food,good staff, really lovely experience Thankyou.

Superfriendly staff, great food. Don't forget to order the red cabbage. Yum

I stumbled onto Ekin while staying in the area on business. When I arrived, the restaurant was mostly empty. By halfway through my meal, the place was packed with local families and groups of friends. The kabobs were excellent, particularly the chicken kabob. And, I was thrilled to get some authentic Turkish coffee. When I was leaving, the owner asked how my meal was. When I told him that I had just happened upon his restaurant, he told me he had been there for many years. I said that it was obvious that he had many regulars, to which he replied that I was the only non-regular there! If you get that much repeat business, you must be doing something right. If I didn’t live in America, I’d be happy to become a regular, too.

The food was outstanding, flavourful, and well worth the price. The staff were welcoming and attentive, couldn't ask for more. We stopped by while in the area and were more than happily surprised, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Always excellent, with the best quality/price ratio you can find in London.

Hidden gem, best Turkish restaurant we have ever visited - and we have tried A LOT of places in the UK, Netherlands, Germany and Turkey. Family-run, clean, beautiful, cosy decor and very hospitable. We will definitely be coming back with family and friends. Worth every penny! We can especially recommend the Adana kebab!

The best place Turkish in London!! Absolutely amazing service every time and the food is unreal.

A small and friendly restaurant in south hampstead. The prices look a little high on the menu in comparison with other places in the locale but the food quality and quantity make the place decent value. All the dishes I tried were enough for 2 people with my size appetite. I found the food to be very tasty. Service was efficient. There is a good selection of vegetarian dishes also. Highly recommended.

Ordered a takeaway collection from EKIN and it did not disappoint, they were very nice people! Very generous with food portions. I was ordering for 6 people and almost over ordered he told me I had ordered enough and stopped me from over ordering… (could’ve made extra money) Also amazing food!!!! The best Turkish food I’ve had in a while and I go to a lot of Turkish restaurants.

Weekday lunch is 17.9 euros including starter and main. But service fee? Received 2 euros and got 19.9 euros The quantity is huge and the taste is good haha.

On the best Turkish restaurants. Highly recommended!

100% Adana kebab restaurant, they also serve real tzatziki. Super cute tavern atmosphere. I don't want everyone to know, but Ibrajim is a master, he deserves everything. 💯

La mejor comida turca que he comido. La comida muy sabrosa, los chops increibles, las berenjenas geniales y el halumi formidable!!!

Very poor service and we are waiting 35 minutes for order and the price is very high for what we have for diner and we have to pay for the services £13.80 I don't recommend to any one to go at EKIN RESTAURANT 240 Belsize Road London nw6 4bt

Cok temiz ve güzel bir mekan ilk defa arkadaşımın tavsiyesiyle gittim. Çok üzgünüm balığım cok fazla pişmiş geldiği için servisteki arkadaşa balığın yerinde olmak istemezdim hem yanış hem yenmiş olduğumu esprili bir dille söyledim sanırım yanlış anladı ve şefe balığı beğenmemiş dedi. oIsun can sağlığı yinede tavsiye ederim. Birdahaki sefere et yiyeceğim..

My family of 7, including a child, had a fantastic experience at this Turkish gem. From the enticing entrance to the delightful main courses and delectable desserts, every bite was a journey through the rich flavors of Turkish cuisine. Whether you're a fan of Turkish food or a first-timer, this place is a must-visit. The warmth of the owners made us feel right at home, adding an extra layer of hospitality to the already extraordinary dining experience. We, as Portuguese visitors, truly appreciated the unique and delicious offerings that differed from our traditional cuisine. Highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable culinary adventure.

Amazing food shared by two of us. Staff were so engaging and helpful. I couldn’t believe the freshness and quality of the food. Totally blown away. We will be back and thank you for the lovely face to face customer service.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Ekin Restaurant has undoubtedly become my favorite dining spot, and I seize every opportunity to indulge in its culinary delights. Having recommended it to friends and family, the feedback has been nothing short of outstanding. Everything about this place is simply amazing – from the inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service and, of course, the outstanding turkish food. On each visit, I've been consistently impressed, and the variety of dishes we've tried has left us highly satisfied. Even the seafood dish deserves applause for its freshness. It's evident that careful attention is paid to sourcing quality ingredients, resulting in a dining experience that stands out. The staff are professional and incredibly nice and lovely. Their genuine warmth adds an extra layer of comfort to the already chill and cozy ambiance of the restaurant. Whether you're a regular like me or a first-time visitor, the welcoming atmosphere makes every dining experience memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant from someone who appreciates a perfect dining experience. Don't miss out, you won't be disappointed!

Quite good Turkish food. Good quality. Enjoyed my chicken kebabs but a little lacking in taste. Served with good flat bread and dips. Among the better restaurants in the area. The lentil soup was the best thing I had.

Very tasty food, we really enjoyed and with the lunch fixed price menu it wasn't very expensive

Came for lunch, as was looking for a restaurant near Kilburn park and this one was near and had a good (4.5*) rating. It is dissapointing to say Ekin definitely did not meet its rating. Me and my friend were the only ones seated at the restaurant for our meal and there were 4 members of staff at the restaurant, yet we had to ask for our food order, cutlery etc on more than one occasion. None of the staff also asked us how our food was and kept leaving the restaurant door wide open in the middle of winter. It wasn’t very hospitable. The food itself was also average at best. There was a concoction of cold salad and charred vegetables which had almost been burnt and because the door had been left open our food had gotten cold quickly. We couldn’t finish our meal. The highlight was the Turkish tea to keep us warm. Unfortunately, a 1* experience.

Great quality food, highly recommend.

As Black cab driver, I can be so confident to recommend this place. Probably the best shish in London 20 ⭐️

We’ve been visiting Ekin for nearly a decade now, the owners are lovely and very friendly, the food for many years was impeccable… sadly since lock down the prices have been raised to much and the quality has dropped slightly. unfortunately the cost is not justified anymore, better food at half the price can be found in other turkish gril restaurants not so far away.

Delicious food, generous portions (the three grilled meat platter was enough for two people including the accompanying salad, bread and tzatziki) - definitely coming back!

Food is good and genuine, the issue is that it used to be reasonably priced and after a crazy 66% increase YoY it is now almost £25 for a chicken skewer, definitely excessive. Pity, this was one of our regular takeaways.

Over priced restaurant. Very expensive for what it is. Most EXPENSIVE KEBAB SHOP IN LONDON !!!! Unfortunately a total RIP-OFF. Please be aware !!! Was not worth it I’m afraid

MOST Over priced !!!!! Please be BE AWARE. The MOST EXPENSIVE KEBAB SHOP in London. £27.50 for three skewers of kebab rice and salad. OMG. Please be aware the food is very very expensive at west end prices in Kilburn. I will not be returning here. Sorry but felt I was RIPPED OFF. Food was OK at best. We are well travelled educated people not mugs. I would like a refund please and will be calling EKIN for a refund tomorrow.

I am a regular at Ekin. It's a great place. The food is delicious and the staff are so sweet and friendly. I always go with two of my friends, who go even more than me. One of them speaks Turkish, which makes it more fun. I don't know why but I always get the doggie bag, as there is always loads more than one can eat in a sitting. Last time, I discovered that the sharing plate comes with stuffed vegetables at the bottom of the platter but none of us knew, because we have never got down that far. We always kick off with the Meze, which would be enough for non greedy people (not us) and sometimes, when we come in, we get a treat lke calamarie, whilst ordering. A happy, friendly local.

مطعم جيد جداً الاكل مقبول (في افضل منه) الخدمة جيده الاسعار غالية جداً خصوصاً ان المطعم في مكان جداً عادي

Super service minded and approachable staff. If you communicate any special wishes they will try to accommodate. Sallad and sauces were ace!

Stumbled across this restaurant/takeout this evening and was warmly welcomed by the lady behind the counter. It looks like a standard kebab take away place but when you get inside, there are some tables out the back set up nicely with a good atmosphere. We had the skewars (one lamb, one chicken and one chicken shish): all were cooked perfectly and tasted delish. The breads were plenteous and so tasty for simple flatbread. The aubergine dip went beautifully with the meats inside the bread. There were salad and dips to accompany everything. Plus we had the couscous which was also great, top flavour and good texture. A really great meal for three for £33. Would definitely return.

First time in London for 2 days. Ordered Adana and it was realy delicious. Service was excellent.

Perfect setting, delicious food and most welcoming stuff makes this place a little gem on the map of London. It's authentic. It's comfy. I'm coming back quite often and I always crave more!

I’m so happy they are just around the corner from where I live. It is always my first destination after I’m back from abroad and not only. The variety of dishes could be plenty for every day healthy eating. Ekin’s food makes me happy- what’s more? It’s tasty, healthy, affordable. It’s run by a family that is passionate about what they do. They put a care about their customers, even my dog ❤️ Thank you Ekin. I wish you 100 years and more. Kornelia

We been here for Father’s Day celebrating with my family on Sunday evening from north London because I red review and rates but I disappointed. Food quantity was almost good, little bit burnt fish and vegetables. staff were nice and friendly but very busy with take away and delivery services. I recommend not really comfortable with family and kids because sitting area is very small. People drinking alcohol and smoking front of the restaurant which was annoying us. I mentioned.

Cok iyi, very good homemade food and finally a really clean place to eat. I will come back xx 🇩🇪 thank you

Delicious food, good service and nice atmosphere.

Kesinlikle Londra ve Avrupa'da Turkiye Sinirlari disinda Yenilebilecek En İyi Kebaplar Burada, Mezeler Cok Basarali. Mekan Gercekten Temiz ve Butik Aile İsletmesi. Turkiye den gelip burada yiyen arkadaslarimiz buranin hayalini kuruyor. Tavsiye Edilir.

Must go if you want to experience some authentic Turkish food and culture!! Very simple but great ambiance. Great charcoal grilled meets that taste amazing!!

If you are looking for traditional Turkish grill, don't look any further. From the taste to the atmosphere and the way you are serviced is authentic Turkish. Friendly owner and service, tasty food and descently priced. You won't regret trying.

We are local so we have been here a few times. We usually have the mains and meat is consistently good quality, authentic and amazingly marinated. Family owned place, impeccable service. We are very lucky to have this place close to us.

Great food, lovely family business but getting VERY expensive. Real treat if you're having their food as a takeaway.

5/5 Really nice Turkish food. The place is very clean. Service is good and polite. You have to taste all the skewers and the ribs too.

Excellent quality food and amazingly tasty! Friendly staff that also love dogs :)

Really good Turkish restaurant. The meal was excellent . The waitresses were really nice.

the food was incredibly delicious! Grilled fresh meat skewers and many turkish specialties. The family is so warm and loving. Thanks very much!

Best sea bass in town! Very nice family run business. Everything was fresh. A true hidden gem at the heart of London!

I knew when I opened the door and saw the dad cutting lamb and the daughter putting new coals on the fire, this was the real deal. Adana kebab also is a big portion, it’s my breakfast today too

My family have been using Ekin for collections and the occasional meal in for about 10 years. The food is fabulous cooked over charcoal right in front of the customers, which gives it all that authentic Turkish flavour. Particular favourites are the Adana Kebab and the Chicken wings but in all honesty everything I have ever tried is very good. The Hummus, Cacik and Tabbouleh all way above average, not to mention the wonderful bread grilled over the coals. Although with the extraordinary increases in energy, rent and rates in London the prices have gone up, the portions are huge. If you are taking away two dishes will easily serve 3 people. It is hard to quantify where it sits in the grade of restaurants, it is a local gem, I suppose some would consider it a little expensive, but compared with most fast casual restaurants the food and service is on another planet. The owners and all the staff I have encountered are so friendly and always remember you.

Service was absolutely great. I felt like I was in Turkey. Excellent kebabs for a long time I haven’t tasted such a great food. As a complementary we got stuffed vine leaves which was delicious. We definitely come back

Not bad but not great I’ve tried better Turkish restaurants in London …

Authentic fresh food and lovely service. My secret local restaurant, where I take friends.

Amazing Turkish food with meze and great atmosphere with a lovely family running it!

Authentic Turkish Restaurant 10/10.

A small restaurant in area, but large in level, content and taste. One of the best and delicious Turkish restaurants. We got to know Mr. Chef Ibrahim, who has a beautiful smile.

Excellent service quality excellent food

One of the best Turkish cousines in London. A sweet Turkish familys restaurant. They are very friendly and kind and making very very taste foods.

من ألذ مطاعم المشويات في لندن، مشويات تركية تديرها عائلة بقيادة الشيف التركي إبراهيم والذي عمل في الكويت بمطعم الديك الرومي من نهاية السبعينات لمنتصف الثمانينات، ثم جاء إلى لندن وأسس هذا المطعم المتميز، مقبلاته لذيذة والمشويات لا يعلى عليها خاصة الضلوع والريش والجوانج والكباب وتكا اللحم، البهارات والتتبيلة مميزة، أحرص دائماً على زيارته عندما أسافر إلى لندن

Really tasty food, very friendly, quick and attentive service. Parking in the area is easy. On the downside, the prices are extremely high for a small, more of a take-away place off the road and for what they are offering (we have been at numerous similar places and the prices are not even nearly as high). Another thinly on the downside if you have a family with small kids; not a super family friendly place-quite narrow, steep steps to the restrooms and no high chairs available. Overall, recommended for once, would not return.

Fantastic lamb chops and elegant, delicious lentil soup. 👍

Thank you for your service and food. Really Enjoyed the prawn but sea bass tasted a bit plain to me, with no marination. Your great and friendly staff make me to come over for prawns again. Thanks

My first time eating here(not dinning due to Pandemic); Before the pandemic, I'd pass here mid week, Friday & some Saturday evenings. Often I'd see a bustle inside & the odd queue outside. Passing by wafts a lovely aroma that arouses your sense of smell, sending overpowering forces to water your mouth. Then................. the pandemic hit & hard times. However, today I went in for the first time & the first thing that astonished me was the prices (HOLD YOUR HORSES)! Let me tell you DO NOT HESITATE, just buy whatever you fancy because the portions are amazing & the food was absolutely delightful. You will definitely be seeing me again!

Be ready to travel because I felt I left UK for a little. You can taste the amount of care that goes into this restaurant. The portions are generous: we could have eaten with a couple of starters, a main to share could have been good too. But don't let that stop you, enjoy and take home the rest, because it's delicious

Little cafe in Kilburn well over priced now sea bass not good chops where very nice but rice cold wines not nice at all cheapest bottles £30 too expensive for a Little cafe in Kilburn friends and I will not be returning much better places around with fairer pricing

I find this restaurant fantastic !! The owners are really nice and kind, the food delicious, fresh always tasty, the atmosphere is welcoming and being a small restaurant it is never noisy, the management is familiar and for this you can still eat authentic! Absolutely deserves to go and eat there !! A great experience every time I go there, thank you so much !!

لذيذذذذذذذذ اللحم المشوي خصوصا الريش

This is honestly the best turkish food weve ever had, the resterant is so cozy and it lovely to see a family owned buisness, portions are lovely and big and we are 100% coming back. So tasty x

Good thing is the location as it has few car parks resident bays infront but food Portion and salad was really small. They don’t offer chicken kofte, only lamb. I ordered lamb which was rarely done and felt half cooked (not authentic Turkish style). Minced meat had small bones which lacerated my leftside upper gum! I was with a date so kept quiet but left half of the food and didn’t ask for boxes to pack it for home.

İşletmeye ait herşey muhteşem yemeklerin lezzeti ilgileri vs 10,numara 👏👏👏 , Tekrar tekrar gittigimizde Daha iyi servis ve muhteşem gerçek USTA Kebabı servis ediliyor çok keyifli lezzetli yemekler yiyoruz, Bana göre Londra'da en iyi servisi ve yemeği bulabileceğiniz bir mekan 👏👏👏,,çok çok mükemmel

Expensive but good quality food. Highly recommended.

Amazing restaurant . The food is fresh and delicious. It is the best Turkish restaurant in North-West London :)

Great food! Chicken shish was lovely and the salad was amazing. Fairly healthy food with a nice taste.

The food here is really, really lovely but unfortunately the staff are horrible - you’re made to feel like an inconvenience and intimidated - definitely not what hospitality is about. Order online to avoid truly uncomfortable service!

High quality food, good ingredients, fresh and tasty. Lamb chops, aubergine salad and tabbouleh are my favourites.

I lived in Turkey for several years and Ekin has authentic Turkish food that is as good as any I have ever had. The family run business is run with great pride in the quality of their food. I cannot imagine finding better Turkish food outside of the borders of Turkey.

مطعم لبناني - الاكل اقل من عادي يعني ما افكر اعيده كأكل - السلطه ممتازة جداً ولذيذة - تعاملهم ممتاز - كميه الاكل كثيرة جداً بس السعر 75 باوند

Very good taste, the food is prepared while you are waiting. It is so nice to see a family business where all staff are working in harmony. Parking in the area is limited but if you come after 18:30 there will be many options nearby.

Was advised by lots of people to come here and Iam glad I did, food is amazing. Will definetly come again for take out.❤️

By far the best Turkish restaurant I’ve experienced in the world - if you don’t believe me, just go down there & ask for the ‘lamb chops’! Best I’ve ever had. Thanks to the great & friendly staff at Ekin restaurant.

Lovely little spot, a great find. Great portion size too!

The best Turkish restaurant in the UK. Tried many times and never disappointed.

Lovely restaurant, great food and very pleasant staff. Highly recommend trying this spot, for a meal.

Popped in here for dinner, did not book as unplanned. Pleasantly surprised. Really good food, service good too. Everything was delicious. Would visit again.
