Fora Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

An overall great dining experience. Started with Kalamar and beef sausage. The Kalamar was a bit rubbery and the sausage was a tad salty but on the whole pretty good. The Adana Kofte main, however was incredible and beautifully tender. Highly recommended! Even the complimentary bread was a great starting point. The staff were also kind enough to allow us to stick around a little while after we'd finished in order to feed our baby which was much appreciated.

Had a great lunch.. Tried Spicy chicken wings and Calamari starters and then the lamb shank.. All was delicately spiced and perfectly cooked.. Service was friendly and despite venue being packed attentive and respectful. I will have to come back to try more options..

Great food, great portion sizes and great service

Restaurant was very nice, with classy service. I enjoyed the traditional Turkish dish. Falafel was a bit different than usual and didn’t really enjoy it but everything else was very nice. 5 stars if you improve the falafel.

I've been here a few times over the years and it is always good quality and good value. The food is beautifully cooked and flavoured, the service is prompt and friendly and the prices are reasonable.

C'était Impeccable! L'endroit parfait pour un anniversaire en famille ou entre amis. Nous avons fêter l'anniversaire de ma mère en mai avec la famille. C'était Excellent. Les serveurs,l'ambiance, les plats ont été sans faute. Ils nous ont même aidés à décorer le restaurant. J'y retournerai sans doute à une prochaine passage à Londres!

First time we were in fora Restaurant, everything was amazing

It was very tasty and the portions were large. It was just a bit expensive.

Awesome food, lovely staff who helped me decorate for my cousin's 70th birthday celebration. Thanks to the lovely Manager/owner who was really nice and helpful in making this memorable.

Fora has been our favourite neighbourhood restaurant for years. We have celebrated many happy occasions at Fora. And the food and service today are as good if not better than ten years ago. Very good selection with fresh ingredients, superbly prepared and served, wonderful atmosphere. Great place for business meals and date nights.

Delicious food, great staff, enjoyable place for a meal.

I had such a great time at Fora! The restaurant was busy, which gave it a lively vibe, but the staff still took great care of us. I tried the meatballs, and it was absolutely delicious, juicy and full of flavour. The service was top-notch and made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a great meal with a warm, welcoming vibe, Fora is the place to be!

Went to eat in this place after a long day in London and was really looking forward to some good Turkish food however, the food was very average and reminded me of a kebab house after a Friday night out. Some of the staff (man with white shirt and black trousers) was very rude. When coming to pay the bill he said nothing and just put the machine in my face and the whole evening he seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Also not a huge variety of Turkish dishes and not great value for what you get. Won’t go there again or to any of the chains.

My wife and I went to Fora recently for lunch. We love Turkish food and live in Shoreditch so it is great to have close place with such quality food. Restaurant was quiet on Saturday for lunch so had very attentive service. We had the city lunch menu which was starter and main for 26GBP. Started with hummus and cacik and both were quite tasty. Then had chicken skewer and adana kofte. The food was outstanding. Very clean restaurant with good wine list. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Amazing food and excellent service. Definitely recommend this to all the foodies.

Great atmosphere, nice cozy food place in the middle of city. Overpriced Turkish food was a bit too salty for my taste though

FOR en service! Nydelig mat og lokaler. Er du glad i italiensk mat? Gå hit! Garantert en flott opplevelse. Lenge siden vi har spist så god italiensk mat

Cozy restaurant, friendly staff, very tasty food.

Amazing service and food!! Everyone really enjoyed their three course lunch yesterday. The service was outstanding! Thank you:) Cathy

THANK YOU so much for making our annual staff lunch such a success! The service was outstanding and the food was amazing!:) Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their three course lunch. We will be back! :) Cathy

We ordered 8 platters it was supposed come to in one plate that's makes Four plates but we got Three plates One plate less and they charged us £33 for service without telling us for Eight platters we were charged £300

I was very disappointed with my visit yesterday, I ordered lamb cutlet and the first two pieces were very nice, however the last two slices were just terribly awful in quality and texture, please do not cheat by trying to mix and match left over poor quality and fresh meat on the same plate, customer may not say anything but they surely will not return. Very disappointing experience.

Ristorante turco greco eccellente. In famiglia amiamo la cucina greca perché nostra nonna era di Rodi e cucinava spesso pietanze tipiche. Qui ho ritrovato quei sapori. In particolare nello tsatziki (qui indicato credo con il nome turco ma era comunque lui) e poi nei dolmades e nella moussakà. Dolce conclusione con un delizioso baklavà, che era il suo sfizio preferito. Complimenti e grazie per questo viaggio nel tempo....olyre che per il servizio veloce e cortese e per l'ambiente curato.

Very nice food, fun service and REAL Turkish coffee. We enjoy our lunch visit.on a Friday and it was very quiet. The service was attentive and knowledgeable. Food prepared nicely. (Sorry, forgot to take pics). The roast lamb shank was a standout!

Starters were amazing Main were lovely Service was good Highly recommended

Great service and excellent food.

Everything was perfect. Welcoming and friendly service, amazing food, well priced. Did I mention amazing food? Thank you.

Very busy but top service and the food was divine.

Restaurant turc excellent. Plats succulents fait de produits frais. Le service est correcte. Très bonne adresse pour un dîner d'affaires restaurant pas du tout bruyant et à deux pas de la City. Par contre un peu cher.

Surprised it was so quiet - everything we ordered tasted great and service was also great. Highly recommend My wife says "make sure you mention the apple tart" - it was delightful

Food was good service ok until we asked for a taxi , we were told we don’t do that . We explained I was disabled and couldn’t walk we were told to go to Aldgate station 450 metre away , I said I can’t walk 30 metres. We were told they couldn’t help it was not there policy. We didn’t know how to get Uber eventually we got a taxi after 40 minutes with no help from the restaurant. It was tonight valentines night the restaurant was 10% full, I think they need to re evaluate their policy of being un helpful. Try somewhere else.

Like Haz, but cheaper. It's a pretty soulless room and location on the edge of the City. Service is good, food is good. A safe bet for a functional meal.

Dropped into the Fora at 5 on a rainy February afternoon- the service and food was second to none we will definitely to visiting again when we’re in London Photos attached but apologise for the quality they don’t do the beautiful food justice!!

My family and I came here for our Saturday night meal. It was a lovely quiet and relaxed atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was hot and delicious, it was a great location too!

One of the best Turkish experince nice food , nice service nice atmosphere. Weldone highly recommend for Turkish dinner.

Went with work colleagues in December for our Team Christmas meal. Food was lovely, very reasonable. Would definitely recommend and return.

We dropped by on a quiet Monday night (and I mean really quiet - we were the only patrons) but we left pretty happy. Being a business type meal we didn't mess about with starters and dessert but our waiter was kind enough to bring us houmous dip and some freshly baked bread while we waited. On the main course front I went for chicken kebab with apricots and I have to say that it was excellent. The chunks of meat were large and tender while the apricots added a delightful touch of sweetness. The other dishes also looked rather tasty and we were all pleasantly surprised by our meal. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

The environment is perhaps a little dated, but the service is excellent (kind, attentive, thoughtful, smiling) and the cuisine delicious. I have eaten here several times over the years and it remains a staple. Any grilled meat dish is tender and tasty, but there are also great options for vegetarians. The portions are very generous, the bread (which is brought back to the table as soon as it finishes) truly superb. Excellent quality/satisfaction/price ratio.

Just amazing. Food was lovely. Cooked so well. Had a large choice. Wine list very good. Service excellent. Can’t praise enough

Loved the food here. Had the lentil soup with lemon, was excellent and warm. The apetitzer with fresh bread and yougurt with olive oil was very refreshing and tasty. The lamb shank was my main course and came with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, and a side of medium spiced pickles. Excellent combo and compliments to the chef and service of the owner. Dont forget the desserts.

Great atmosphere. Always packed. So book ahead

Beautiful experience. Lovely food and service.

Met up with friends. For a mates pre Birthday. It was just before Christmas. It wasn't super busy and was really nice. Staff were friendly. And the food was really nice

***RECOMMENDED*** Based on the first visit. Excellent service and food. Starter: Lamb on Hummus with some warm bread. It tastes lovely, and it was a good portion size as well. Main: Lamb Shank with vegetables, flavoursome but not spicey, and the texture was excellent, Lamb was cooked perfectly, falling off the bone. Would go again if in town and try something else and see if the food is the same quality. If it is, I would give them 5 stars 🌟

Such an amazing place so close to my London office. Tastes as good as similar places back in Manchester. Definitely would visit again

Food was alright. Nice portions.

I love this place. Been here so many times over the years and never been disappointed. The staff are so attentive and make sure you're looked after

I recommended this for a team dinner after work. I was repeatedly commended for the great recommendation. Love this place. Centik Special is my go to! Never once been disappointed

Great lunch with clients. Excellent Turkish wine.

Delicious Turkish food , nice ambience, excellent service

I had the opportunity to enjoy dinner in this lovely place yesterday , appetizers and house special dish were spot on, highly recommended to give it a go.

Good food, amazing service. Love the mezes… I really felt like home. Thanks for great hospitality

Ottimo ristorante turco! Agnello e falafel deliziose, ottimo anche il prezzo. Servizio attento, cortese e veloce. Una bella serata

LUTFEN BANA ULAŞIN. CALİSMAK İCİN GELMEK İSTİYORUM. Gereken herşeyi kısa süre içinde tamamlayıp geri dönüş yaparım sağolun

Great Meal, and really nice staff.....thankyou and we will be back

Not sure if all these reviews are fake. I’ve been to thousands of Turkish Restaurants and thought the food here was far from authentic, too plain and barely satisfactory. Service was brilliant though.

Приятное заведение. Большие порции еды, приемлимые цены. Заказали 2 горячих блюда с гарниром по 18-20 фунтов. Баранина вкусная, мягкая мясо. Рыба тоже хорошо прожарена. Милый интерьер. Приятное обслуживание. Были впервые в этом заведении, туристы из Казахстана 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

What a great find in the heart of the City. Seven of us there for a leaving dinner and all agreed we'd seek it out gain. Turkish cuisine with a mix of wider Mediterranean.

Mixed grill was bloody good. Satisfied my meat needs

Lovely Turkish restaurant with a good selection of vegetarian food. Loved everything starting with their bread to the desert. Tiramisu is a must try. Good portions served for the price.

Love this restaurant. Its my go to place when I need a quick or long lunch and its proper comfort food. Ingredients fresh, cooked well, presented well and very tasty. I usually go for the mixed grill but most things are great. Been going for years. Opted for the Turkish Red wine which always surprises me. Bravo guys.

Fora is a delightful restaurant and our party of 5 were not disappointed. It is situated in the City just a 5 minute walk from Liverpool Street Station. We had chosen a Tuesday evening to dine it was not busy. We plumped for a variety of starters including falafel, Halloumi and Turkish sausage all with bread and dips. Was delicious. Chose chicken shish with rice again excellent very large portions. Service very good this was an ideal location. Would eat here again.

Excellent venue that you will not leave feeling hungry. Food lovely with plenty of choice. Service attentive and impeccable, especially considering we were a large party (10+)

Considering this was a Monday, and not that busy the atmosphere was lovely. The food was delicious and really fresh. Great service.

I was looking for a healthy option in the neighborhood for a quick, early dinner and I’m thankful I found Fora. My only regret is that I didn’t come at a time when I’ll order a more full menu. I had a simple Caesar Salad with chicken and it was fantastic. It had the most flavorful and tender chicken I have had in memory. The dressing and salad were really good. Lots of flavor without a heavy dressing. Even the Turkish delight they served with the check was great. The staff and atmosphere are great too. I highly recommend it.

Friendly service and good food!

Excellent, great food, great service, the two city meal deals are excellent value

Excellent, great food, great service, the two city meal deals are excellent value, starter and main for £24. The Borek was lovely, and moussaka was tasty and a generous portion

Simply delicious! 1 x Halloumi and 1 x Liver for starters and both were delicious For mains 1 x special meat mixed grill and 1 x special seafood mixed grill. Both served with rice and salad. We both really enjoyed the complete meal and next time we are in London will definitely visit again.

Great tasting Turkish food in East London. Found this place as I was looking for Halal food and this more than lived up to all the positive reviews by providing good value for money. Portion sizes could be slightly larger for the amount they charge though.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was friendly. If I lived in the area, I’d be back weekly.

Best food I have ever eaten, it is Halal, server was amazing. Definitely coming here again and recommending to others. Please advertise the Centik Special. It is the best dish I have ever eaten from a restaurant

Service and staff were great! Food was average though but the atmosphere was nice.

Nice place, higher end turkish, big restaurant and greats service, friendly and efficient in a good way. Nice wine list and food was spot on.

Solid spot. Beats Haz on all counts.

Warm welcome. Plenty of space. Good food & service! What an enjoyable and unexpected find. Highly recommend

Everything was delicious, fast, everything is very fresh and the presentation of the dish is beautiful. Thank you very much!!

Heerlijk gegeten. Vriendelijke en correcte bediening. Passen gerechten aan bij allergieën. In het weekend erg rustig. Tijdens lunch op di-do wel nodig om een tafel te reserveren. Ik ben al vaker geweest en kom graag terug

Great lunch! Much better than Haz! A little bit noisy but least it means everyone is having a good time!

Food was nice. Mixed grill sharing platter. Great portions. Friendly staff. Nice place to eat when you’re in the area. Thanks Marin

Really great Turkish food. Tasty and freshly cooked.

An honest Turkish restaurant with incredible value for money. All the dishes we tried were really tasty. They can accommodate large groups without reservation, which is a plus. Highly recommended.

Busy lunch spot. Really great food. Can't fault this, place. Will defo go back.

Gisteren hebben wij heerlijk gegeten bij jullie! Echt een aanrader! Dank jullie wel voor jullie gastvrijheid. Groetjes uit Holland!

can't go wrong. lovely food and really good service

The food at Fora was delicious and the Vegetable Moussaka was one of the best I've eaten. To our surprise at the end of our meal the lovely staff brought out a big portion of tiramisu with a candle on it for my husband! Apparently they had overheard us mentioning the word 'birthday'. It was such a nice gesture! Thank you.

Köfte çok kimyonluydu ve miktar azdı

Good food, good service. I liked it.

Came here for a bite to eat during the week at lunchtime. Incredible food and the staff were attentive and kind.

Fora is a bustling restaurant, and it's easy to see why it's busy. The food was great, with a lovely selection to choose from. I had chicken with chilli and apricot sauce. The sweetness of the apricot went really well with the chicken, and was set off with a little fresh chilli. Not too much, but just enough to set off the sweetness of the apricot. Although it was busy, the staff were attentive, and yet we never felt as if we were being rushed from our table. I'll definitely be back for more.

Lovely food, good sized portions. No complaints

Amazing food. Amazing service. Got a little noisy, but the experience was very wonderful.

Visited here on a Friday night with friends. Service was spot on, from taking our coats upon entry to taking orders and being attentive to our table. The food was delicious, everyone liked it and I thought it was well-priced for a City location. I enjoyed my House Special Iskender Kofte, the lamb shank looked great too that others ordered. My only slight disappointment was how quiet the restaurant was but that's out of their control, and I can only assume most City workers were in the pubs instead. However it meant we could converse in peace and didn't find ourselves shouting to be heard, and the music was just the right volume. Would visit again and recommend it.

Great food and drinks and friendly service for reasonable prices in the city, we came with a group of 9 and had a great time

The service was fantastic, food was unbelievable, my lamb shank was easily the best ive ever had, pricing was very fair, will be going back when im next in the area to try more of the menu

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in London. Fresh food and amazing grilled meat

nice food and nice atmosphere, would definitely recommend!

Although a wee bit pricey even for London

The food was good but not great you can taste the turkish but climate of this restarant is not turkish in my opinion.

Great food service and atmosphere. Was there for a work dinner I will return with my family to make a better assessment.
