We came with our family today for a pre Christmas meal. We shared one of their huge jumbo platters along with sides and other bits. I was especially impressed with the chicken.. it was super fresh and tender and tasted delicious as was the lamb, the lamb chops and ribs were also fabulous. The staff and owners were amazing ..super attentive and made sure we were looked after. Everyone left feeling super satisfied . If you want delicious fresh authentic Turkish food look no further than Izgara Meze Restaurant ! THANKYOU .. 🇹🇷 ❤️🤍❤️🤍 🇹🇷

The food here is just so so, it's not great. The kids meals are basic, very basic, not very good. £8.50 for a kids burglar +chips. £3.50 for a orange juice. The prices are definitely Not cheap. The customer service is very good.

Very poor experience. Visited today 1st nov for my bday with family . There were flies hovering on top of our food/table. I addressed to the waitress. She was extremely rude, no manners or customer service at all. I asked for manager , she stated she is, and then said she's not it's a man and he's gone out will be back in 10mins. I waited, a man returned she spoke in Turkish, and I then highlighted the concerns. He again just said sorry and that's all. It was my birthday meal, we went with kids after school. The place is dirty, service is rude and food not good quality. We ordered prawn with avocado, it literally was prawn you get out packet and avocado cut up. No taste or flavour. Food mediocre. You can get better food from Mangal down road. .or go North London for a variety of better quality and food! Also price better! By the way, the waitress was tall slim built and very rude. Avoid at all costs! There was only one customer , explains everything!

Food was burnt when I specifically said don’t over cook, everything was so dry even the bread was burnt, this place has gone downhill it use to be good, we won’t eat in or take out from here ever again! There’s other Turkish restaurants that are better now, so disappointed wasn’t even busy in there not a customer in the restaurant when picking up our order so there’s no excuse.

I went there for lunch and had their lunch deal. The salmon was really good. You can see that it was fresh as not the usual salmon fillet that you got from the supermarket. There were plenty of seating and it was nice to have the air conditioning during the hot day. I will go back again next time I am in the area.

I ordered a few things from this restaurant and the only thing I don’t have bad words for is the bread and hummus. In what world should calamari be served to you soggy with a pool of liquid inside? The calamari was absolutely cold and inedible. The lamb ribs were awful - bland and cold. The salad had half of 1 cherry tomato in each one and full of liquid. I spent over £30 and could not eat anything. Complete waste of money and I will never eat from here again.

Visited Izgara restaurant on the Saturday 4th Feb for dinner with my girlfriend Mihaela & her cousin which we booked online. Firstly my girlfriend was greeted by her name at the door which I thought was lovely. The waiter (young guy) showed us to our table and bought us over a selection of sauces and fresh warm bread. The waitress came over and took out orders and the food arrived promptly. The bread, humous and mostly importantly the lamb was well cooked and full of flavour. My girlfriend is a very fussy eater and this was the first time in ages that she was happy with her meal. What a result! Another lovely touch was they didn't automatically apply a tip to our bill which I thought was lovely. I of course left a tip which in my honest opinion was greatly deserved. An all round great experience 5 stars from us. We will certainly be visiting this little hidden gem again.
