We are here with family. It was really very tasty. Service great. Very nice. I would definitely recommend it and come again.

Fantastic lunch made better by the staff

Superb food, great location, loved it.

Salad was so good and filling, even if it seemed small. Staff were friendly and even gave my friend a cake on the house for her birthday. Really lovely vibe. Would

Delicious dinner at this restaurant owned by a lovely Turkish family. Warm greeting and service as well as tasty food with a nice view over the boats.

My friends and I have been here a few times, always excellent service and great food. Oh, and his baklava is fresh and delicious 😋

Their mouth service was excellent Their food was very good

The place was very small and when I asked the waiter where the menu was, she insulted me by saying I think you can't see it is on the table.

Very friendly service and very, very tasty food. Super fresh!

Lovely food friendly service great atmosphere great value id highly recommend

Great food and exceptional service! It’s a nice, quiet location at St. Katherine’s Dock (a short walk from the London Bridge). We ordered the vine leaf and fish and chips. They were great. We enjoyed the patio on a sunny Sunday afternoon in February with the provided lap blankets. We will return during our next visit to London!

The staff are very friendly, the place is amazing, and they have excellent cocktails!

Lovely food, great cocktails, really nice staff, definitely worth a visit!

Had a lovely time here. Such a cute little find. The service was lovely and the cocktails were lush. Will be back here soon :)

Lovely place and great customer service!

Good food, kind service, adult/kid friendly menu

One of the best meals I've ever had, with very good service. I definitely recommend going.

Everything was perfect, the service was done in the best way, you are the best

Very well-marinated juicy grilled meats and a delightful wine selection are happening in this place. Cocktails are also pretty good; it deserves a go! They also have tasty vegan and vegetarian options like falafe, mix meze platter, fired courgette balls. The staff is caring, kind and the ambiance is dreamy, near St Katharine Marina. The location is kinda hidden gem next to Tower Bridge, exciting to explore the area. It is cozy for a birthday party, family gathering or a business meeting. Strongly recommended. Thank you for the good service.

We had a great time,food excellent as was the service from the very friendly staff. Would definitely go back.

Hi! Nice view! Good service and tasty food 😋! Friendly staff! Sweet dessert!

Delicious food. Lovely buzzy atmosphere. Great location

I recently visited Kilikya’s Gastro, Cocktails, Lounge at St. Katharine Docks, and it was an unforgettable experience! The location is absolutely stunning, with amazing views of the boats and the peaceful waterfront setting creating a truly unique atmosphere. The food was a perfect blend of Mediterranean flavors—beautifully prepared and full of taste. Each dish was a treat for both the eyes and the palate. Their cocktails were equally impressive, showcasing creativity and balance, making them the ideal complement to the meal. The service was top-notch; the staff were welcoming, attentive, and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our visit. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing evening with friends, a romantic dinner, or just a beautiful spot to unwind, Kilikya’s is a must-visit.

Amazing ambience and atmosphere. Professional service and magnificent Turkish vibe. I truly recommend to visit . I wil definitely return on many occasions

Wonderful dinner with family. We had the Meze sharing platter. We all loved it! For mains, we had the grilled sharing platter which also came with a lovely salad. Again, everything was really delicious and so much food. The kids loved dining here too. They were able to order what they wanted for their main course, lamb burger and fries, and when it arrived, the portions were huge for such young children, aged 9 and 7 to eat!! For dessert we had the yummy strawberry cheesecake. To top our meal, we also had a lovely bottle of Pino Grigio and the children had a glass of milk each. It was all wonderful. The staff were extremely welcoming and service was excellent! The restaurant was also cosy, comfortable and had a great atmosphere. It's located in a really nice location too, St Katherine's Docks by Tower Bridge.

It is so cozy place and workers are so kind. Definetly recommending the chicken shish. Sauces and baklava are also very good.

The food and service were excellent! Super close to the tower hotel

i love the place. the food is amazing. 20/10 ;)

We came with our daughter and had moussaka. I would recommend.

We were warmly welcomed and served! Had a good meal, very nice atmosphere! Thanks

My family and I loved this restaurant so much that we came back three times just to enjoy the amazing wraps! Everything was outstanding – the food was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. We highly recommend it!

Got to be honest, damn the food is GREAT. A lot of tables were reserved but they were able to fit my small party in for breakfast. Ordered some mule wine with my food and it was good but could've been a bit less bitter. If someone can tell me what the picture i ordered was let me know cause it was delicious and I recommend it.

Amazing food and drinks. Very chilled place in the dock. So close to landmarks like Tower Bridge. Must see if you’re visiting London!

The food was delicious, the atmosphere and service were excellent… I highly recommend it

Just a perfect 25th December night. Lovely staff (really nice) and great food. And St Katharine’s Dock is a beautiful place. Fair price. Dinner with family. We loved it and we recommend it.

Super super place, extremely delicious, I bring all my guests here

Great meal and amazing staff ! 100% recommend the service was exceptional

"The atmosphere is amazing, and the staff are very warm and friendly. The service quality and everything offered are excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone. I would definitely come here again!"

I had the Lamb Iskender and it was delicious some of the best food I have eaten. All washed down with a fantastic Old Fashioned

Amazing service and great food!!!

Amazing food, big portions and very friendly staff with great customer service. Thanks to the owner Ali for making us feel very welcome.

Lovely food and drinks, great service!

Excellent service by Mustafa! He recommended the best ways for us to enjoy Turkish cuisine. For the food, we tried the veggie moussaka and the grilled fish. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes, as the fish was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also experienced Turkish coffee, which was truly a new and delightful experience for us. Mustafa shared the origins of the coffee, explaining that it originated from the Ottoman Empire. In terms of location, we visited on a Saturday evening around 7 pm, and there were plenty of available tables. I would definitely dine at this restaurant again in the future.

I am very happy with the services, the lady who served us today is very nice and polite and smiles. My husband joke about freebies as today’s was our first time here and for our surprise, we received free deserts for 7 of us. Honestly the food was amazing, the taste so good. I ordered seabass, salad and grilled potatoes. We will surely come back and will tell family and friends to visit as well. Thank you so much. Keep the great services up!

Absolutely amazing food, I find their hospitality very warm. I will surely come again soon.

Always a quality service and a quality environment. location is very good.Definitely you will find one of the great view spot of London with delicious food

Great fish & chips... great atmosphere and as a gift we got an aperitif to warm up, since it was quite cold outside 😉👏🏻🫶🏻

Amazing taste!! Brilliant service!!!👍🏻 definitely coming back🙌🏻 Thank you 🙏🏼

Best Turkish food I’ve had in London!!

The most amazing place I've been to in London, the food, taste, service, staff, friendliness, care, cleanliness, everything was beyond amazing. I'm proud that a Turkish place is this amazing. I definitely recommend it and I congratulate all the staff.

Exorbitantly priced dishes It’s a kebab, bill for 3 wraps: €97! It's theft, they added a service fee of €10. Ashamed

Its a real good place mu food came fast and nice persons

Worth the stop, extremely yummy

Had the best time here from my birthday last week. You guys are brilliant! Food, drinks, service was amazing. Thankyou for a lovely evening 😊

Great place to stop for a drink at St Katherine’s Dock.

The restaurant was opposite our hotel and we wanted to try it. We realized what a right decision we made in choosing this location, with the friendliness and attentiveness of the restaurant staff, the decent environment, the menu options, the delicious food and drinks, the high hygiene standards and the affordable price structure according to the high standards offered by the restaurant. We were very pleased. We recommend it to everyone.

Amazing... "They have an absolutely fantastic service and delicious food. They really guide you well while making your meal choices. It’s one of the rare locations where you can get the service and flavor you deserve. The atmosphere and energy are great."

We went to London for business purposes and discovered this excellent restaurant in fromt of our hotel on our business reip and experience ld great flavours and presenatitions .I recommend it ro everyone and cocktails were great.Mustafa was fantastic. Thanks a lot

I go into London a couple times a week, I take it upon myself to try something new in the area. Today it was Kilikya’s. Service: Warm and welcoming, I was served by 2 lovely ladies Alara and Maria. Very kind and helpful, an asset to the company. Food: I have the garlic butter prawns as a main, and an Aperol sprits. The prawns were very fresh and tasty, the portion size was good, I didn’t need extra food, but I had extra food because they have fresh baklava too! Happy experience, great way to enjoy lunch in the office!

It was the best meal I have ever had in my life, the food was delicious, the establishment was nice, the prices were reasonable, I recommend it.

lovely place, lovely food and lovely drinks, would highly recommend the spaghetti bolognese and the Alexander.

the spaghetti bolognese is the best! and the views are to die for ❤️ a must try if you're around tower bridge in london!

The place is the most perfect place to have drinks or eat Turkish cuisine while watching the view of the dock. The service was incredible aswell, workers in the restaurant were very kind. I really advice to give it a try if you have time.

Great spot in the marina! The cocktails were top-notch, especially the French Martini and Mai Tai. The mix shish wrap was delicious, and the staff was super friendly. Will definitely be back

Loved the vibe here. The Pina Colada was amazing, and the Adana kebap was full of flavor. Friendly service made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Four of us were there for a few drinks. To pay the completely overcharged bill with a card, the waitress asked my wife into the restaurant and then tried very hard and with a complete 'boss-doesn't-share-tips' story to persuade her to pay in cash instead of with a card. they would also take euros etc. But since my wife really didn't have any money with her, it was very, very unpleasant for my wife. Very dubious, it doesn't have to be that way.

UPDATE: I left the review below while I was still in the area. On my way out, the waitress pointed me out to the owner, who took it on himself to 'confront' me, rudely challenging me as to why I didn't talk to him, missing the point that a review is a reflection of the user's experience. Not sure what he thought he'd achieve, probably thought he could intimidate me, which is very funny indeed. I've not even finished here; I plan to ask the council to review his smoking arrangements, as I'm sure the law isn't being observed. 17 Aug 24 I hate smoke! Visited and asked to sit inside, because of how much smoke there was from smokers sitting at the outside tables. The waitress almost refused, saying it was too hot (as opposed to suggesting it was hot and therefore we may be more comfortable outside). I got inside and the smoke hit me. The inside just stank of cigarette smoke, I left. On my way out, I observed a customer sitting inches from the door, at a table, with an ashtray, smoking. All his smoke was therefore inside the restaurant. This was very unpleasant and is illegal!

If you are looking for London’s fish & chips place, please do not go here. Though we were seated outside the restaurant by a nice guy waiter on a lovely Sunday warm noon outside the restaurant as we told him we wanted to eat and drink. We were then approached by a waitress to take our drinks and said she had to confirm our reservation first to be served food. Which was really off-putting. Meanwhile a couple behind us were eating and drinking. After being served fish n chips and crispy calamari, find both dishes bland & calamari was not crispy at all. With a very pricey menu, we expect better food & service. Note: mandatory service charge found on receipt £10.95. Just so people know.

We had lunch here and it was great. I highly recommend the lamb shish and garlic prawns. Service was fast and very friendly. Would be great for dinner or just drinks

Great atmosphere, fantastic food

Apparently you need to wear a mask if you are unvaccinated.

Very good service and very good food in nice mediterranean surroundings.

Nice and kind people. Good chats with waitresses :)

Nice atmosphere, delicious food with nice service

A valuable place to visit when visiting London, both for the taste and the atmosphere, Fish & Chips is indescribable.

The food was delicious however the portions were small considering the prices (very expensive for what you get) and they added a 15% service charge for a table of two. We ordered one drink, a long island iced tea, which was 13gbp and tasted awful. Good service and nice atmosphere.

Good food good service and good drinks!!

Alara is the best waitress. She always carries a smile and receives us. We love the place and ambience

I have tried lamb shish, it was so delicious. Also loved the cocktails, it so good with amazing view.

Great Location. Very friendly staff. Had a glass of wine surrounded by yachts in the middle of the city. Will definitely come back and try their food which looks amazing.

Really loved the service, great options on the menu and compliments to the man who served me the Turkish tea on the house which cured my bad throat!

I would like to pass my congrats specially to the owner of this place dear Dr.Ali Eren Balikel being as as successful entrepreneur creating such a lovely brand of real Turkish Food,Cocktail Bar hospitality and contributing in to the local community as well as the Londoners and travellers.

I had a lovely İskender at Kilikya. It was saucy and delightful. White wine and espresso martini were brilliant. Staff is quite caring and kind. And I was fascinated by lovely ambience of the Marina. Strongly recommended. Thank you for great service. 👏🏻👏🏻🥂

A place where a rich and delicious menu is served very quickly by friendly staff.

Nestled within the vibrant cityscape lies a hidden gem, a culinary oasis that beckons to those in search of gastronomic excellence. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of understated luxury and refinement.

We went with my wife and we enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere.

It's a place where I really enjoy the atmosphere. We will be going to England for my son's birthday in August and Kilikya will be one of the first places I will visit!

Great atmosphere combined with very good food and friendly service 👏👏

My wife and I recently dined at this Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant located at St. Katharine Docks, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The setting was picturesque, with stunning views of the yachts and the serene water, making for a perfect dining atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, offering an authentic taste of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavour. What truly stood out, apart from the exquisite food and breathtaking views, was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Their warm hospitality added a special touch to our evening. Overall, we had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience at St. Katharine Docks.
