The service and food was amazing! I ordered the ottoman platter, authentic Turkish grill - very worth it, definitely recommend. Lots of seating available too, with a beautiful painting of Istanbul night bridge.

I use to love this place but the prices have gotten ridiculous. In the last few years it seems the prices have doubled whilst the portions have halved. It is missing the spark it once had, the food is more plain tasting. Unfortunately, after a very terrible birthday dinner, I now have a new Turkish regular.

We ordered a 2 orders for 2 people and it took around 45 minutes for very simple dishes and also the food we ordered was not given to our specifications as one of us doesn’t like 2 of the ingredients and the other doesn’t like spice and they still made the food spicy and with the 2 ingredients we asked to be removed , the decor is very minimal and looks honestly very old and the toilets look like the local pubs toilets

Had a great lunch here the other day, I do like a spot just before the rush hour, because the food is at its prime and that donner really was, the meat balls paired really well with the sumak and onions and that milk cake was delicious. The customer service by the gentlemen and chef was great, the humbleness and respect is admirable, they made sure I was full to the brim, come down and try out the lunch time menu.

Very poor service! Everytime I phone to order for collection they always get my order wrong then I have to wait a further 15 mins for them to cook the right order on arrival. Met with very frosty and poor atmosphere and service. When asked if I could have an extra bread or sauce due to the mistake that was made I’m told no very sternly. I informed them that I will not be back again as there’s only so much I can take with the constant wrong orders. Also the bread was horrendous this time and the chicken was cold as it had yo wait for my second meal to be cooked again due to taking down the wrong order over the phone again. Never again.

The food here is horrible, the meat is super bad, I just had a wrap and some chips from that Turkish place through delivery, the truth is that it has no flavor, nothing that resembles a well-made one, but the problem is that they work with low-quality food and it can't turn out well, stop robbing people, if you can give something decent, close the place. Very unpleasant food.

I have been living in London since 2005.This was really difficult for me at the beginning to put up with cultural differences.I was very scared particularly regarding on food quality and variety as I am very conservative about it.One of my Italian friend took me to the area years ago and He said this is Turkish restaurant and very traditional.I went there 2006 for the first time.And since then ,I have been coming here and having specially home made soups.I also tried almost every dishes on the menu. To be honest,Every single dishes are so tasty and lovely.I highly recommend this place to everyone.They deserve the best honestly. I admire them

Please do not rip off your customers by trying to be clever with your portions. I came for takeaway and asked for the Large Lamb Doner box. This is universally a box of lamb donner with some bread and maybe rice separate. I saw the staff have a quiet little word and team talk about how to do my order before actually making it. Maybe because it is late at a Saturday night when people are more likely to be drunk so you can take advantage and cut corners. When you are paying £14 takeaway a large lamb donner box is NOT a pile of rice with a tiny portion of lamb donner sprinkled on top of it. The amount of donner meat there in relation to all the bread and rice you gave me was a pure rip off considering the price and that I ordered a large. Treat your customers better.

Ordered lamb shish. The lamb was dry, tasteless and tough. The rice bland, the salad tasted as if it had been left out for a few hours. The double vodka was a single at best! The service mediocre but friendly. Conclusion: a takeaway at best but only if all the other restaurants are closed! - One * so could post review. PS: food critics could be coming a restaurant near you...

This restaurant has become one of my favourites, the value of food/portion size for money is amazing the meat is succulent and very fresh. Very authentic and tasty Turkish food with lots of flavour. The manager is one of kindest and thoughtful people I’ve met, so down to earth and generous with us, I had left my bag at the restaurant and he came out of the restaurant to come find us just in time before we left (it was very cold outside). I can say the food and service is amazing I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Not such a lunchtime menu treat . Portions are half the size of mains (not that they tell you) . I rate the service I had by 2 young gals & a young man, the food however was under par, portions aside , my Adana was over cooked , looking old & tasted of salt . Had a shish which was fine . Good atmospherics inside . Over cooked salty food chef moody & unhelpful as I entered the restaurant. Would I dine there again………. just a drink , bread & dips perhaps. Which menu are you referring to, the 2ft x 1ft poster at your entrance or the in house menu given once seated? I have a picture of the poster menu “lunch” , I do not see those words there which was my first piece of Istanbul info & I note you make no reference to the “over cooked salty meat’ in your response focusing on the inedible.

Clearly a place where locals, misfits and hipsters can eat with gusto and have money left in your pocket. It’s pretty heavy on the meat front, but there is enough for the more faint hearted. Pide in numerous incarnations, kebabs so huge it comes on a tray you use to carry plates with, fish superbly grilled and salads in abundance. Superbly authentic yet modern in outlook and service.

Steak is a funny thing.. it can be a stunning life changing experience, or it can be banal and boring.... Guess which this experience was.... Ibai, Hawksmoor, and half a dozen steak restaurants are so much better... For 125 quid a head with only a single glass of wine each, it was utterly overpriced, and the steak was under seasoned and just...average... I've had Gallician beef many times, and it normally has a lot more flavour... Feel utterly ripped off, and I have no problem spending the same money in other places...
