Levante Restaurant (Lewisham) in Lewisham

Image 01 - as advertised. Image 02 - as delivered. Need I say more?!?!

The food was delicious the service was amazing would definitely come back again 1

Delicious food every time we've been, with great staff. We tried the Ezme cold starter yesterday and I have a new favourite dish now! The staff got the balance perfect between checking in and letting us enjoy the meal. A good selection of vegetarian options and I personally love the mains which are served with salad and some dips. Overall a nice, casual atmosphere with food to suit any occasion.

Great local venue, reasonable prices, amazing choice, friendly and attentive staff and Awesome Food!

Sometimes the simple things are the best. Meats attentively grilled over charcoal, consistently turned out to perfection. Swollen short grain rice cooked perfectly to soak up the juice. Spicy, tangy ezme. Generous portions and very reasonable prices. A consistent jewel of Lewisham.

Have ordered food for delivery from Levante many times. Always superb, we're big fans of the chicken livers, the chicken stew, beyti, and ezme. There's some great Turkish restaurants in SE, and this is up there with the best. Must dine in one day.

AVOID! Disgusting customer service, haven’t received goods or refund.

Have ordered food from this restaurant a few times. All the food has always been great, the chicken livers and chicken stew are both top picks for us. Recommend. Will visit in person for sure some time.

I have made an order. My order was a box full of chips instead of a mix kebab. Hard bread! I contacted the restaurant they were not helpful at all. First had me speaking to two different people who couldn’t hear anything I was saying. Then finally got to the bottom of my missing order they said they will re send it. Then I get a call that they can’t resend it. I have to now chase my refund and me and my child are going bed hungry because this has taken all so long! No customer service, mistake from their side and not even trying to fix it! Now I just chase back Uber eats for refund myself they said. Disgusting!

The food is great and the portions are big. One of the best places to eat around.

I’m really disappointed with the food today. The meat was like it was old and fatty and chewy, it certainly wasn’t fresh. I’ve ordered from levante a lot and this has never happened. I literally feel sick right now after eating a meal that we should have all enjoyed.

we ordered two doner wraps of Deliveroo and a larmacun the doner was cold I was very disappointed considering I paid £31

I love this place! The food, service and vibe is always immaculate. The staff are so welcoming and make us feel at home on every visit.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!! Amazing staff and food. i always come to Levante, i will never eat at another turkish restaurant ONLY LEVANTE 😍

Consistently really good, wish we found this place a lot sooner

Can't beat the turkish kebabs in north London difference in taste

Good stuff, very nice inside people

Food, service, atmosphere were excellent and we all enjoyed our lunch.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Levante Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Located in London, this establishment offers an unparalleled Turkish culinary journey. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, a rare find in bustling London. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness added to the overall dining experience, making me feel truly welcomed. Now, onto the main highlight – the food. Levante Restaurant serves the finest Turkish delicacies I have ever tasted outside of Turkey itself. Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. From succulent kebabs to aromatic mezes, every bite was a delight to the senses. What truly impressed me was the perfect balance between quality and affordability. The prices at Levante Restaurant are reasonable, considering the high caliber of food and service offered. It's rare to find such value for money in London, making this establishment stand out even more. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Levante Restaurant to anyone seeking an exquisite Turkish dining experience in London. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this gem of a restaurant is not to be missed.

4.3 doesn't do this place justice.food is amazing. Meal for 2 is out of this world.plenty of meat an rice.100 from me

The best restaurant in Lewisham. Wonderful grilling techniques

Very, very, very good food,top service,nothing to complain the second time I go there ,very, very, very good. The food is so good. Staff are very friendly.I can't find complaints about. Just is in lewisham . Philippe

Every time you order from them you always get incomplete orders. Some food missing also ordered the biggest set and received only a little half container of a salad. The soup arrived cold. Very upset bearing in mind spend over £100. Never will order from them again 👎👎👎

This place is great - highly recommend!

Really good food and friendly staff.

It's a Turkish restaurant , the service not bad but it's delicious.

Amazing Turkish food! Absolutely fresh, good portions and have more vegetarian options than just falafel.

10/10 food and customer service. Great place I would definitely recommend!

Food expensive and not good service did not give 2 salads

One of my favorite places to eat and still a warm and friendly service

Awesome food. Excellent service.

Delicious food and wine. Excellent service- particular thanks to Amin for his kindness

Great food and exceptional service.

Great food. Lamb chops ( on the bone) were amazing. Highly recommend. Will Be back !

With my boyfriend we coming to this restaurant often . Staff is very welcoming, Hossein is very attentive and always looking after us . Personally, I'm always coming here for their Lamb chops, which is the meal to die for . Service is fast. We'll stay their loyal customers.

Fantastic food, amazing and very patient staff. Been coming here for years and they have never lowered their quality of service.

excellent meal - aubergine pide, cold green beans, lamb ribs, kunefe, as well as an excellent and reasonably priced bottle of Turkish wine. Get yourself down here!

I use to love this restaurant perfect service and food but now it’s purely focused on take away service so no customer focus waited a Half an to be served then after that down hill

I went at lunch time, and it was not very busy. I got a Lahmacun, and a Lamb Doner. Both were quality and tasted delicious. Service was great as well.

Everything was amazing. We will be back.

Just great. Plenty for those of us who didn’t eat meat too. Don’t leave without having eaten the Katmer for dessert. Really great.

Thank you so much for such a vibrant and delicious meal! The grill is absolutely amazing and all of the dishes compliment each other perfectly. We had a lovely evening and had a fabulous (slightly younger) waiter!! Thanks to the whole team xx

Most wonderful customer service Family run business Attentive staff Great customer relationships

great turkish food and good prices they dont use mince meat in doner so you get chunks of meat and it is closest döner to döner i always eat in turkey

Had a really lovely meal here with my mum. The service was amazing, very friendly and attentive. The food was incredible. Definitely the best Turkish around. The starters were good, and the main levante special for one is really good and excellent value. There’s a lot of meat on the platter (enough for 2 people if ordering a few other bits) and it’s all really well made, chicken was juicy, chicken wings are so tasty, lamb was juicy and good flavour, the Adana kebabs is nice and the lamb chop delicious. And there’s also shawarma meat on the platter too. The lachamcun is also good. After our meal they gave us some baklava on the house and I thought that was so kind. Have always really loved this restaurant and happy to say it is still as good as it was many years ago. Prices are also reasonable for the area and today’s general prices in Turkish restaurants.

The nice place good food friendly restaurant and staff I'm so happy to find this restaurant best tea c,a,I ever well done guys and girls

Came here just before Christmas and had a lovely meal, the staff were really friendly and all the food was delicious! Would fully recommend the Misket Kofte and Humus Kavurma, we couldn’t stop eating. Whether you live in lewisham and coming down for a treat, get yourself to Lavante 👌

Excellent food and enjoyable atmosphere, very friendly staff. Very cosy warm restaurant

This place needs a modern do over. Has good potential as the food is good but lacking in interior design and

Done with Levante. It has become hit and miss with them, the quality of meat has plummeted recently and their attention to detail is non existent. Ordered Levante Special (the dish they literally named after their restaurant) and it was burnt end döner pieces, Adana with no taste but plenty of fat and cartilage, chewy lamb chop & lamb shish, bland chicken and plain dull rice, what happened to the bulgur? The only part I remotely enjoyed was the two pieces of wings. The salad is literally a joke as well, no taste no dressing, soft tomatoes and overdone with onions. So now I’ve a barely eaten platter of mix grill in the fridge that I’m not even tempted to eat. Btw whoever managed to make the garlic sauce taste like toothpaste needs to be fired.

The food remains delicious and good value though this restaurant is much smaller than when there was another location near the library. The chicken kebab is not my favourite and should be removed from the Levante special mixed grill.

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, food nice, but portions not great. Padded out with salad. Chips and rice were really small portions.

Great food and comfortable surroundings. 👌Just been in again and the lamb on skewer was absolutely perfectly cooked. Told the chef too, hes brilliant.

I've ordered it online twice, and it's absolutely delightful! It's evident that they put great care into their food, as it's incredibly tasty and prepared with great attention. It's the kind of food that stays in your memory. I can't wait to visit the restaurant someday!

Good food, good place to chill. Sadly I paid for the drink without drinking. O well keep as a tip, but next time please don't charge me. Thank you. Overall great food.

My favourite place for Turkish food, been eating here regularly for two years and it’s 10/10 every time

Good quality food, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

This place really is a hidden gem, came across it few months ago when I ordered takeaway. My partner and I were blown away by the quality of food as well as the authentic flavours, took us back to when we visited Turkey on holiday. We visited this place again today for dinner, Robert was really attentive and gave us Baklava & Turkish tea on the house! My partner and I live over an hour away from Lewisham but we see ourselves coming back again and again! I very much recommend this place if you want real authentic Turkish food, very reasonably priced and the only place that serves steak chips alongside the platter! 11/10, I never really write reviews but this place deserves it!!

Absolutely amazing food and wonderful customer service! Would definitely recommend

The food was good and service was quick and friendly.

Ai choisi un Lamb Doner ! Excellent .. et très très copieux @ personnel Excellent, très accueillant .. j'aime beaucoup

Hussein who introduced himself as the manager is so rude and so full of himself when we just asked what we've been promised before about a delivery that was not delivered. If you can't deliver as a manager, then better not to promise when it was your restaurant's fault that our orders was incomplete

The food was great and the service outstanding. We where served by the waiter Hussin and he was very nice.

A great restaurant with amazing food. I’m new to the area so I’ve been trying out different restaurants around, but I can say with confidence that Levante restaurant is the best by far. I tried Salmon Tava and my sister got Mixed Shish, and they were both high quality dishes. The lentil soup we got was great as well. While the restaurant is on the small size, the quality of food and service along with an elegant atmosphere more than makes up for it.

Yemeklerin tadı efsaneydi tekrar uğrayacağız.

Apprehensive at first but the food was outstanding. Lovely meal

This is the second time I have been to Levante, this time I went for lunch with my wife. I have to say on both occasions we received great service and most importantly the food was good. The portions are large as well as complimentary bread, tea and Baklava. You are sure to leave feeling full or even taking some food home. I can say we received fairly priced food in a nice atmosphere. Thank you all at Levante

The food was decent, however we found the service to be quite lacking. The restaurant was not busy when we went, but we had to remind for our tea and desert after waiting for good 20 minutes, apparently the waiter had forgotten our order. Also one of the spoon at the table was quite dirty.

I can't believe I ate the best pide in my life that is 3000km away from home..

Delicious food, excellent service both dine-in and takeaway. Lamb Middle-Neck special and Aubergine Pide are absolute gems!

Visited as part of a Groupon deal. Great value for money. Portions are large and very tasty. The service was excellent. Great atmosphere. The alcohol and cocktails are cheap. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Excellent restaurant, very friendly staff. Delicious food at a reasonable price. I would recommend and make a return visit

Amazing food services are great

This place is incredible from the food, to the staff to the whole atmosphere. Will 100% be visiting again it’s the best Turkish restaurant in london.

Great service and food! Amazing value and exceptionally kind waiters. Constantly doting on me, as a single traveller. They gave me free baklava twice haha. Everything you see for £16.87. Vegan friendly

For an small old school restaurant I got to say this place tickets all the box's. The service was genuine and the food was out of this world. Got to try their middle neck special and their lamb kebab and omg both left me amazed. Honestly need to keep these companies alive in this world.

Went there a few days ago, had this Young new waiter who gave us amazing service. Definitely coming back next time!

The staff here are lovely and genuinely really accommodating, I felt like I was eating dinner at someone's house. Enjoyed my lamb neck with rice. Lamb was breaking off the bone. Also got some complimentary tea and a dessert

Great food and good service. I live locally and have been going to Levante for 6 years. The meat is always grilled to perfection and fresh. Highly recommend the salads, grills and lentil soup. My favourites are the mixed grill and chicken liver. Very authentic and fresh.

We dine here every weekend, which is really worth doing. The food, the service, and the ambiance is very good. The whole staff was brilliant. We were served by Miriam, who was very accommodating and always had a smile on her face.

I've eaten in almost all the turkish restaurants in South East London an this is still a place I would recommend 👌

They got my order wrong, added something I couldn’t eat. Did the same mistake twice and when they finally got it right and took it out they still charged me the same price

The food is nice and very generous. Good value, relaxed atmosphere

Hossein was a brilliant waiter, extremely polite and helpful - a great member of the team Had the fish cuvec- amazinggggggggggggggg will definitely be back, great desserts, great service. Lovely place and recommend attending!!

Great food and service. Today was my 2nd visit and certainly will come again. Service is fantastic and so is the food. Thank you.

I’m sooo happy I found this place!! I LOVED the food and the service was fantastic and really fast. Very reasonable priced too and everything was so delicious. Will definitely go back again!!

Nice place to take break, well mannered workers, I love it

Nice food and super helpful staff.

Food was beautifully cooked and seasoned. Service was great. Used a groupon voucher with no issues. Staff very friendly and attentive. A hidden gem, glad I found this place! 10/10

I normally get takeaway wraps and explained I wanted 2 wraps and to eat them sitting down quickly. The waiter then charged me £16 plus service for a simple lamb wrap. I protested but he said I must pay and it must be based on the menu price because I sat down. I will never return and will advise all my friends avoid. Disgusting and sneaky behaviour.

It's not bad there. Tables are a little cramped for me. Food tastes good, customer service was good. I would go back.

The food was phenomenal, the service was fantastic and offered tea as well. The owner/manager was really friendly and quite the gentleman as well.

Very friendly eating place. We went there last week to celebrate our sons birthday. Not only the food was amazing the customer service was absolutely incredible. the staff made us feel very welcomed and maintained a very professional level. My son had a really good time and was really happy they played his favourite song for his cake cut. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing kebab. Generous portion size. Love the presentation of the family platters very unique and adds to the experience. Very attentive staff. Recommending to all!

The food is absolutely rubbish, the meat is old, stinks and was completely raw inside and cold. Their baklava is £5 for 3 pieces it is old and nasty as well. It’s all just wrong and I am sad and sick :(

Terrific food here. I chose prawns as a starter and seafood for main meal. Salmon sword fish and prawns. Lovely Jubbly, excellent. I would love to go again Turkish Restaurant

Our favorite restaurant in this town. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The crust is perfect and the toppings are out of this world.

Good food and they have some great deals there also. We often visit this place and would recommend.

Staff, food and drinks all excellent.

Absolutely loved it. The pistachio cake and baklava are amazing especially if you have a sweet tooth. It's a really comfortable place to come with anyone. Food is cooked fresh and the waiters are extremely nice. Please tip them when you go because I didn't have any cash at the Time!! Chicken livers for starter is also really nice and punchy🥰🤗
