Fora in City of London, Westminster

We have been there a year ago the food and service was excellent. Now the quality of food was terrible. We feel that the ownership has changed. Will not be going there anymore. Atmosphere was good nice and clean place.

Overall: ★★☆☆☆ Food: Turkish/‘Mediterranean’ The waiter walked around with a black plastic glove on the whole time which is not particularly pleasant. The ‘fries’ were not particularly well cooked - clearly frozen from Booker. Nothing fresh or delightful about the Turkish delight which was served in its plastic wrapper still. The salmon was fried and over cooked. The ‘seasonal’ vegetables were soggy and devoid of any flavour and no doubt of any nutritional value. The ‘Turkish’ tea was basically black teas in a glass and nothing special or Turkish at all about it. What I liked: • Seeing my friend Nigel • The location • Not much else to be fair What I didn’t like: • The food (see above) • The service (indifferent) Do I recommend going? NO Will I go again? NO Was it good value? NO Price Point: $$

Absolutely fantastic food! One best restaurant I’ve had the to joy to eat in London! Fora food quality, freshness and staff are incredible!! The owner and Chef are awesome! Really a great experience from start to finish! Even had an amazing Turkish tea! You will be very happy having lunch or dinner at Fora! Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent service and taste. We had the spinach omelette and scrambled egg+sausage. Loreta was a charm to order. Will visit again.

Tasty food and good size portions as you would expect in Turkish restaurant. Had the Centik Special and I have to highlight the flavour of the tomato sauce, it was so rich and tasted like the real thing (is difficult to find this in the UK). Our waiter was super friendly and approachable. Before ordering I thought it was slightly expensive but we left satisfied, with good quality food, not greasy and a great service. Also service is not charged on top like most other places. So overall it was very good value for money. Will return.

Loretta is incredible and amazing servicr

Really great atmosphere and food- definitely will be back!

The food was very disappointing—I’m genuinely shocked by how much this place has changed. The service was poor, and the waiter was intrusive—asking overly personal questions and behaving quite rudely. I would not recommend this place

Amazing food and absolutely amazing customer service

Amazing fresh Turkish food and the staff were very friendly! We both got the St. John’s wood menu which was £21.9 per person and a generous portion size. Nice clean bathrooms as well

Food was good, not your standard Turkish. Our host Loretta was absolutely delightful, courteous and very accommodating

Great service, especially Ekrem he was so nice and friendly, great quality Turkish breakfast

Fora St. John’s wood had nice falafel with hummus. Bread was nice too. Apricot chicken ok but the Harassa meatballs could not be eaten. Tasted more like an average undercooked sausage. On top of that no side rice was provided as states in the menu that we only realised after we left. I made the waiter aware of the meatballs and he looked towards the kitchen and said thank you and apologised. An offer to refund that meal would have been more appropriate in my opinion. We won’t be back.

Wonderful ambience and this Turkish tea was strong yet satisfying, Raj the host was so friendly and the boss was so kind. I would definitely come back and order great food. Great atmosphere would come again

Loreta was amazing! Incredible food too

Very good place. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We ordered falafel, charcoal mixed grill & tiramisu. Everything tasted amazing and the service by Loreta was simply outstanding - Would definitely be coming back!

Always a great experience going here. Professional and caring service and quality food. Thank you!

Delicious Turkish food served here. Some of the dishes were a bit disappointing and did not feel authentic to Turkish cuisine. Very good and friendly service! We are picky with Turkish food but I would highly recommend it as a great option if you’re in the area.

Amazing starters (we had berek and the stuffed vine leaves), and amazing mains (I had the mixed kofta platter). Loreta, our waitress, was also very attentive! Amazing place, will definitely return! In the end they even gave us black tea on the house

Loreta was super warm, explained all the dishes and was always super nice! Thank you, you made this experience even better! Also, the food was great!

Loreta was very helpful! Excellent service and hospitality

We had the nicest time at Fora! The food is really nice, I recommend the baba ganoush. Our waitress Loreta was so sweet and welcoming. She even gave us some tea and Turkish delights at the end of our meal. Absolute best service. Thank you Loreta!

Bit more expensive than average but has decent portion sizes, tasty food, friendly service, cosy atmosphere and clean, good sized, modern toilets.

Loreta is an amazing host and extremely welcoming, always greeting us with a biggg smile! I would definitely recommend this place!

Best Mediterranean food in St John's Wood, and great service, especially Ekrem is always nearby to help. The garden part is the best.

I have to say, the food is spectacular, the staff is so friendly, and the atmosphere couldn’t be better. Thanks for making my day!

Great service and food! A bit expensive given the area/ restaurant. We took a bit of everything, left well fed! Portion is good size & costs ~£25! Would recommend for sharing with friends

Loved every bit of it Especially the service

Went for lunch. The meze sharer was fantastic. Would definitely go again!

Very welcoming service and cozy atmosphere. Every dish was delicious, including complimentary Turkish Bread. Will visit again, and definitely recommend Fora!

Fuimos aquí, ya que estaba cerca de la meta de un paseo de los Beatles cerca de la parada de metro de la calle John Wood. Anunciado como turco creo, pero una buena selección de comida de estilo mediterráneo. Yo tenía el plato de pollo albaricoque que era muy bueno y mi esposa tenía salmón que era bueno también. Precio del almuerzo para 3 sin alcohol alrededor de £ 71.

One of my favourite stops when I’m in London for work. Enjoyed the special platter with a halloumi salad appetizer. AMAZING! Staff are attentive, welcoming and courteous. This place is a MUST visit whenever you’re in the neighbourhood. 5 stars, easily.

Great local find. The lamb cutlets were excellent and Loreta and the rest of the team made us feel welcome from the first moment.

Good restaurant. Good food. Nice team and service.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first dining experience at Fora. The warm and welcoming service made us feel right at home, and Loreta, our waitress, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We’ll definitely be returning!

Was here for a wedding and everything was perfect. Great staff too.

Great food, atmosphere and service!

Mustafa was great and quick when serving our food and the best part of it he speaks Arabic and knew exactly what we needed. Deserts are delicious and restaurant overall was friendly.

What an absolute gem of a restaurant, fantastic food, drink and genuinely wonderful staff - so friendly, welcoming and attentive, especially Loreta. I can’t wait to come back

Lovely services by Loretta, food was amazing! Great experience all together!

Loreta was absolutely lovely and made sure we had a lovely experience and was always at hand. The food was great and portion sizes were big.

Loretta was excellent and kind! Service is amazing

Great food and overall experience. We were a large party and pretty much everything that was ordered - from the mixed grill, lamb chops etc - were first rate. Super friendly and attentive service as well.

Fui allí la primera vez con mi esposa, y he estado yendo allí cada vez que tengo la oportunidad, Tienen una variedad de opciones para elegir, tuve la parrilla mixta para 2 personas era deliciosa la carne se derrite en la boca y el pollo se cocina muy bien y el sabor es increíble, las porciones son grandes y es muy asequible. el servicio es muy agradable lo que pidas para el personal ir más allá para asegurar un servicio perfecto, y el ambiente tan cómodo y acogedor, se lo sugiero a cualquiera que quiera pagar su dinero vale la pena

Fantastic local restaurant with great food and a friendly vibe.

Fora is one of our favourite restaurants and our regular go-to! It’s been recently renovated with a great ambiance and fantastic service Highly recommend the bbq

Muy buena auténtica cocina turca. Servicio amable, buen ambiente. Muy recomendable. Visitado varias veces. Precios razonables. El mejor restaurante de la calle John’s Wood, con diferencia.

Lovely spot in St Johns Wood. Excellent Turkish food with very generous portion sizes. The prices are quite reasonable and they also have a lovely mix of desserts.

Had a booking for last Friday, travelled a fair distance, to discover the restaurant is currently closed for renovations. Why they've got their reservations open is beyond me and thoroughly disappointing, however went to Motcombs and had a great time.

When we arrived yesterday, the restaurant was closed and looks like they are doing some construction work internally. Why they still allow people to make reservation when they are closed!

Lovely food - and little on the pricey side

St. John’s Wood- we enjoyed the food, however the waiter was sadly very rude and inappropriate. He made my friend and I very uncomfortable, making several comments which were rude and sexist. I was very upset when we left as we really wanted to love this place, but definitely will not be back to this location.

Gran personal Buena comida Ambiente muy ocupado y fabuloso Tenía cientos de aficionados al cricket descendiendo sobre ellos y no vaciló Muchas gracias.

The lambs are great. The chickens are great. The wines are great. And we got the super friendly waiters. We really had a great night there.

i expected a higher level , the lamb dish was v hood The vegan were ok

Fantastic Turkish meal. Friendly and excellent service

Had a great experience visiting the restaurant. Prices are what you'd expect for great food. Atmosphere is lovely. Worth the experience.

I had a delightful dining experience at Fora Restaurant in St John’s Wood! From the moment we walked in, the warm, friendly service and the stylish ambience made us feel right at home. I ordered a vegetarian dish Okra, and it was absolutely fantastic, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal with friends or family. The attention to detail in both the food and service was remarkable. I highly recommend Fora Restaurant for its exceptional food and welcoming atmosphere. It’s definitely a gem in St John’s Wood, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The food is delicious and fresh

I recently dined at your restaurant and was impressed with the portion sizes and the quality of the food—it was truly delicious. However, I was uncomfortable with the hygiene practices of the blonde waitress serving me. I observed her cleaning her ears and touching her hair while on duty, which made me uneasy. Due to this, I won’t be dining here again. I hope you can address this issue to ensure better standards for your customers.

Good service, and tasty food. I always enjoy their meditaranean food. Very friendly staff. Everything is perfect for a good dining.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food Especially feathers and chicken The price is a little high but the food quality is excellent

Absolutely excellent food &service great place definitely recommend

as we walked in first glimpse of the restaurant was fine but as one of the waiters started speaking to us they kept only speaking to me excluding my best friend and making her feel VERY uncomfortable and not welcomed. When we ordered a bottle of wine the waiter serving us only spoked to me and poured me the wine to drink AGAIN EXCLUDING MY CLOSE FRIEND. This has REALLY upset us made both of us uncomfortable but we tried to just enjoy our food and ignore the behaviour. This is VERY UNACCEPTABLE behaviour.

New favourite restaurant in St John's Wood. The food is outstanding, we had the mixed grill with rice and salad and it was absolutely delicious. It's not necessarily the cheapest of restaurants (but not crazy expensive by any means) and the price is reflected in the excellent quality of the food. The meat was so tender and cooked perfectly and I don't know how they cook their rice but it is incredible! Samet and all the staff could not have been nicer and would 100% recommend it. Can't wait to go back!!

Very good food, attentive staff and great location

I should have reviewed Fora SJW many years ago and I'm really glad that I've finally got to correcting this injustice. I've been a loyal Fora customer for dining in and taking out. The menu is extensive. Its execution is perfect. Turkish cuisine is absolutely amongst the most interesting and pleasing there is, with lots of variations and thus lots to choose from depending on the mood. The staff are super friendly and super efficient

a lovely resturant in St John's area, medetrainian food, nice atmosphere

My regular basis,The food is too Awesome super fresh..I can dine here every day of the year..

Un ambiente encantador, agradable y tuvimos una gran noche. Amable camarero, buena comida y vino, decoración y música muy agradable y justo lo que necesitábamos después de ser completamente ignorados por un "posh" lugar anterior. Me alegra que nos "pasaron por alto" de lo contrario no habríamos encontrado este lugar. Recomiendo.

What an incredible experience it was to dine at this place! The service was outstanding. The food was incredible. Turkish food at its best. You get what you pay for – the prices are not the cheapest, but it is 100% worth it. If you're in St John's Wood, you've got to check out this restaurant.

Starters were fab, the mains not as much. Great service and atmosphere.

It's a very nice place. We went with three friends, everything we ordered was delicious. Especially the appetizers are worth trying. We received very fast and attentive service.

I had a perfect past with perfect king prawns! People nice and great food.

Great service and good location. Portions are a bit small.

This is a new (to us) neighborhood favourite. We showed up Saturday night with a party of five and had an amazing experience. Food and service were wonderful and the terrace was a wonderful location to enjoy the weather. Imagine my shock when I realised I made the wrong night! They handled us with such grace we did not realise our error until later. Will definitely be back.

Great Turkish food. Yogurt is amazing

Best octopus appetizer I have ever eaten!!!

We haven’t been to this restaurant but it always looks nice. We were not disappointed. Lovely ambiance and very clean. The staff are lovely and friendly as well as being helpful. The menu is extensive and the food is cooked to perfection and good portions.

Adoramos o restaurante. O atendimento é cortes, ambiente charmoso e otima comida. O prato que pedimos para 2 pessoas estava otimo! E daria tranquilamente para 3 pessoas.

THE best and tastiest Turkish meal I’ve had outside Turkey. Absolutely excellent

I am a regular customer of this restaurant. I went with my colleague last night, as usual, and the food was delicious. The service was good, and the staff were polite.

Wildly overpriced for decent, but not great food Service is hit or miss

situated about a five minutes walk from st johns wood station. it’s a fabulous restaurant with authentic food and beautiful decor. i especially recommend the moussaka. their service is lovely and friendly namely cem. will definitely go again :)

Wonderful restaurant with tasty and feel good food. Good vegetarian options and all of their bakery items such as pide, bread are really good. In dessert, Kunefe is to die for, it’s absolutely delicious and is the reason I am coming to this restaurant again and again.

I went on an off day with a friend who frequents this establishment regularly and will go again, staff absolutely tip top and a very relaxing and nice vibe.

Stumbled upon the restaurant and it was so lovely. The staff were very friendly and the food was high quality. The portions were on the smaller side. Great ambience. Our waiter was so lovely, thank you.

Pit still on the way to London Zoo The restaurant was bustling and busy but we were seated shortly after requesting a table The food was excellent and well presented A great choice of dishes and a nice Mediterranean feel to the room we were sat in Bathrooms were tidy and well kept Service was friendly and quick which was perfect as we were in a hurry

This restaurant is excellent. Their food is high quality and delicious. It is rather large portion and well presented. Prompt and courteous service. I will definitely order from here.

Excellent food and generous portions. I will order again soon. Prompt service as well. I would definitely recommend.

We went here for a late lunch after a tour of Lords Cricket ground. I had the lamb tagine & my partner had the Mixed grill! Both were absolutely superb in flavour & the lamb in the tagine fell off the bone. I am not a great meat eater but I truly was impressed! Thank you

Great food here, I especially reccomend the mixed grill- the flavour was amazing. Nice atmosphere also 👍

Fantastic food, great service, beautiful place. Could not ask for more, will definitely be back!

Aan te bevelen ! Heel lekker gegeten, we voelden ons erg welkom. Het Turks brood om te starten is al overheerlijk. De hoofdschotels zijn heel vullend (veel). De locatie is goed bereikbaar en heeft een gezellig kader.

Good Turkish restaurant with a nice selection

Service is 10/10. The manager of the restaurant is the greatest example of hospitality and the food it’s delicious. Used to work in the area and I’d pop in for a quick drink after work or a proper meal twice a week and I always felt the most welcomed guest. Thanks guys🩷

One of the best restaurants in London. The food is outstanding, especially the lamb which I have every time I visit. The service is impeccable and so friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. My friend Roy is a regular and we are planning our group visit to this restaurant again before Christmas. Thank you to all the staff at Fora for making our visit so special on Friday 10th November

I had a lovely dinner! I had chicken külbastı with Ayran. And i enjoyed the chilli souce. Food was amazing and The staff are very kind. I definitely recommend!

not recommended, midges constantly in my table, portions of roast meat decidedly poor, but expensive in price, 33cl beers at 7 pounds each, not recommended at all
