Lokkanta Meze & Barbeque in City of London, Westminster

We had the platter for 2. Great food, tasty, the meat was hot and cooked to perfection. Lovely art work around the restaurant, lovely staff, good service and vibrant, light atmosphere.

Overall, not worth the money. Let.me start by stating that I am commenting on their delivery. The food was poorly prepared. Their Adana kebab was fatty, and the chips that came with it soggy. The lehmatzoun was rather bready with not enough minced meat and was not spicy as adverstised. I was disappointed and would not recommend it.

I had a peaceful and delightful meal. I kept it simple - lamb shish with a salad. No bulghur, rice, or bread because I avoid carbs. So, my photo is sparse but those are included. Service was quick to order and receive my sparkling water. The lamb was cooked-to-order. Tasty, too. The salad was fresh and the dressing quite delightful.

I was really happy that there was a Turkish restaurant, but never again. The service was standing on its head the whole time and looking, the food was okay but the platter costing £22 wasn't enough for one person.

During my 4-day visit to London, I had an incredible experience at this place. The food was delicious, the people were friendly, and the prices were fair. Highly recommend!

It was excellent and first class, it reminded us of Turkish restaurants, excellent quality and food, original Turkish raki drink ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yili was excellent and first class, it reminded us of Turkish restaurants, excellent quality and food, original Turkish raki drink

The seabass is the best you can get. Charcoaled perfectly

I literally felt like I was in Turkey, the spices, sauces, etc., the food was very good, I was also given pita with it, thank you very much.

A mediocre restaurant.. I do not recommend it

Ohhhhh that was good. We had a couple mezze before the mixed grill. Everything was delicious; the service was fantastic; and the ambience was great, too. Loved the paintings of the famous Turkish actors on the walls

Food was not bad at all but the service was very bad and they provided us with dessert stating they are gift from them and while paying the bill they added it and we didn’t actually ask for any desserts from begging . That’s a scam .

The restaurant doesn't look much from the outside but it's really good and the place is clean. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The value for money is really good. I really recommend this place if you pass by!

We cross with this place because we were walking the area and what a great decision it was! Food was very good great quality on the ingredients, nice flavor and well balanced. Service was friendly and always helpful, the place is nice well lighted, clean and enough space. If your around try it!

What a amazing experience! I will definitely eat again!

Some of the best Turkish food in London. Always consistently fantastic and you simply couldn't replicate these flavours at home due to the hot coal cooking style. This is and will continue to be, a staple for me

They were super sweet and were so nice to me and my friend! The food was amazing! I wished I lived there to eat it every day after work since it's so filling! It feels like home in a way 10/10

One of the best Adana wraps i had ☆☆☆☆☆

Tanya was an absolute delight! She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Made us feel very welcome, felt like she had us round for dinner. Food was very good. We got the platter would definitely recommend

Nice dudes running the place, very friendly. Chicken wrap made with freshly grilled chicken straight off the coals. Delicious. Price is reasonable too-the single was very filling.

It is without a doubt the best restaurant in London, extraordinary food, excellent location and the best service!!!!

More a takeaway with a few seats than a traditional restaurant, the menu serves up all the Turkish favours you'd expect. I choose mixed Kofte, which were nice, but not the best I've tasted. Service was attentive and prices were reasonable for London, but be warned, the dreaded 12.5% service charge is added.

Great food and great ambience. We went there for dinner as a family with our children and immediately felt very comfortable. Everything tasted very tasty. Absolutely recommended and an absolute tip for everyone visiting London! Very, very personable boss of the restaurant who took care of our well-being.

Fresh, authentic and very tasty food it comes hot and the portions are big, the staff are extremely friendly and generous. The place is clean and the service was extremely fast

Lokkanta. Owners of this place. I want to ask you can I come to the kitchen and see how exactly you make Lahmuchan? How about food hygiene inspectors? I ordered two of them from Uber eats last week which ended me in hospital with sever E.Coli food poising for five days. What exactly is happening in this place? If you are serving food to people you need to ensure the source of your meat is safe and the way you are handling it or storing it is safe and hygienic which I do not think it is. I’m being deadly serious here. You will end up killing someone. I am Turkish and have never been sick from Turkish food. I am deeply upset and hope you change whatever you are doing. **in response to the owner** Your reply makes no sense to me. You clearly show lack of empathy or remorse not even an apology. This clearly reflects your business attitude and the way you value your customers by thinking you’re being smart with your replies. Take a piece of advice from me, check with where you have ordered them from as you have made that clear now that you “order them in” ensure they are handling them properly and storing them properly. I find it hard to believe I am the only one that has reported this to you. I am trying to help you and saying you will end up killing an elderly person with the level of food poising I experienced instead of whatever warped business mentality that you seem to acquire thinking poor reviews are trying to damage your reputation you should actually take the time to read these properly and fix what isn’t working. I wish you success in the future but I will notify Food Hygiene Standards and the local council to inspect what is happening here. Thanks for the sincere reply you gave me.

Delicious food, good portion and great ambiance. Missing the food now since i am back to my country. Great choice we had for last week.

Very good food and friendly staff!

The restaurant is clean, the service is excellent, and the food is very delicious. We ordered lentil soup, mixed grill, and eggplant appetizers 👍🏻

An immaculate place in London where you will not feel homesick and which never compromises on quality. Whatever you eat, you like it.

Very clean and traditional cozy kebap place. I loved the food and the service. Nice place to try Turkish food in a nice area

We will come to London for 2 days, Insha'Allah.. and we are looking for a Turkish halal Muslim restaurant.. Unfortunately, in the about restaurant section of many Turkish restaurants, on Google and Maps, it clearly says LGBTQ+ Friendly.. In this restaurant, it is written clearly as well, and I would definitely not go there, nor would I trust it.. Muslim brothers should investigate carefully. Some Turkish and Muslim restaurants do not at least openly state that they are LGBT friendly. This is a very sad situation.

This is the best Turkish restaurant out there. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. Loyal customers always get extra food free of charge, and that’s just lovely customer service. The staff and boss are also incredibly friendly and welcoming.

First visit to Lokkanta. Invited our friends from Canada. Food was delicious but not the best specially Kunefe which was overcooked. Baklawa was burnt fron the surface. We ordered the following. Shaslik Lamb(very good) Pirzola GF Salmon with vegetables Kaburga GF(excellent) Kunefe(would not recommend)

I ordered a take out, lovely friendly team, very quick service. The food was so authentic and delicious I can't praise Lokkanta enough. Great value for money.

Since I'm Turkish, I always stop by and try my kebab whenever I travel to London :) It's a very clean and delicious establishment..

The lahmacun was not crispy, and I don't understand how people can charge 46 pounds for 4 lahmacun and 2 ayran. Come on, 6.5 lahmacun each makes 26. If you buy 6 pounds for the ayran, where did the remaining 14 pounds come from?

The restaurant located near my hotel and I decided to dine in here after I read the reviews. I really like the decoration and the atmosphere. I had lamb kebab it was well marinated,tender, juicy and delicious. Served with bulgur and salad. Salad was really really and really fresh and crisp. Came with pide bread which was really really good that you can't find in every restaurants, yogurt sauce, cacık (Turkish yogurt, cucumber, garlic meze)and chili tomatoes sauce (ezme) Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions with patience about the food and menu. It was one of the best Turkish lamb kebab I had overseas. I definitely recommend Lokkanta.

The food is very average, expensive for the amount of food we were given. Huge lack in flavour. Been to much better and cheaper Turkish restaurants.

Arrived late and the staff was more than accommodating. The food was fantastic. Well prepared and presented, perfectly cooked meats, fantastic sauces. I’d go back again.

I just wanted to have some fun with my friends and eat not so expensive but delicious food. And it was perfect for all my friends and me as well. The service was good and all of them were polite. There is some kind of cosy atmosphere. I like it because the food was prepared fastly.

absolutely divine!Would recommend it!

Ordered for delivery and it was absolutely amazing! Great chicken kabobs.

Had a great experience at the Lokkanta restaurant! Delicious food, great service, and nice, friendly staff.Highly recommend it!

delicious food and very kind staff. definitely would reccomend the lokkanta special tea and the hot maze mix!!

My husband and I frequently visit London as my father lives there. We found this hidden Gem a couple of years ago and it is definitely our go to place. So authentic, friendly staff and the food is amazing. Out for a meal and it all tastes so healthy and grilled no grease anywhere. The gratis flatbreads with humous and dips are a lovely touch so you dont need a starter. It is so reasonably priced . We visit London about 6 times a year and as I have said this is our secret hidden gem. You can be reassured that all the locals go here and that is always a good sign. Well done Lokkanta we love you. See you soon xxx

Not good 👎🏼 Adana kebab is made from the breast of a male lamb, tail fat is added and served like that. It smelled like meat, it wasn't good at all. Chicken wings were good, service was good too. I didn't understand whether it was a restaurant or an internet cafe, the pictures on the wall, the decoration and the atmosphere did not feel like a restaurant.

Went there with family - the restaurant had a clean, calming interior and extremely polite staff. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely nice to us. Would definitely recommend!

2 boys who served me was so lovely, so sweet. Customer service was beautiful, thank you so much, we really enjoyed your service. Love from the 3 girls who couldn’t find parking but lovely manager helped out.

This place are full of different celebrities' pictures and all barbecues, deserts and salads are delicious and more important halal and not so expensive.

I really love this place, the people are very friendly and the portion are tasty and big. We come to take away and to dine in. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious meal and good customer service

Delicious Turkish food! The lamb Beyti was amazing. Lahmacun could have been better. Turkish service always the best!

Beautiful little restaurant serving great grilled mains. The tabouleh and bread are both delicious

We got into London fairly late on Christmas Eve and found no room at any conventional inn. Fortunately we found Lokkanta and we weren’t disappointed at all great food, good service and a lovely atmosphere.

Fair Priced Menu, Ordered Adana Kebab served with Bulgur, takeaway souce, salad and warm bread. Nicely prepared and packed, and of course it was delicious. All the barbecues are prepared in front of your eyes.

It was empty early evening, so there wasn’t an atmosphere, but the staff were friendly and efficient. I had an absolutely delicious falafel and halloumi wrap for a reasonable price. Thank you!

Great tasty food 😋 . Friendly staff 👍

The atmosphere of the restaurant had an unpleasant smell, the service was very poor, the food was not fresh and not served hot, the tables are too close to each other, the price of the food is expensive and the quality is very bad.

Very good food and friendly staff

All around a great experience. Would definitely come here again.

Cok guzel ve lezzetli yemekleriniz icin tesekkur ederiz

Every time i come here i feel like a king having a feast. One of the very few restaurants i know that manage to retain the authentic flavour of all the foood they serve. The meat is so juicy and so yummy. The staff are so humble and lovely. By far the best turkish and middle eastern food i’ve had , hands down.

Tavuk şiş yedik bence baharatı azdi.birde servis ücreti aldıklarını belirtmeliler

Super resto, ambiance très sympa, équipe au top, produits très frais...je suis venu plusieurs fois, et essayé plusieurs plats aussi bon les uns que les autres, les brochettes super bonnes 👏... portion généreuse.petites mise en bouche en excellente en attendant le plat .Et ce soir petit cadeau de la maison, désert turc excellent accompagné d' un thé. Je recommande fortement, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés...grand bravo à toutes l équipe😉

Staff was very frendly and kind. For this price portion was small. But its was delicious.

Average food! Do not try the beer!

My wife and I had a grilled lamb and grilled chicken dish and they were both excellent. The food was fresh and well presented. Highly recommend for a tasty dinner.

Incredibly friendly service. Food was excellent. We ordered the platter for 3-4 people and certainly was enough for the four of us. Food came nice and quick and was of a high quality.

Amazing restaurant! Atmosphere is amazing and the turkish food is exactly how it should be and the Tea is ikram exactly how it should be! Best restaurant in my time in London!

Although it was enjoyable experience sitting in sun in Westbourne Grove and was reasonable Turkish food and sampled Turkish coffee for first time you have to suffer all the people going in and out for take-aways as the restaurant seems to double as takeaway AND sit-in restaurant.

Rien a dire très bon très frais.

Anlatılmaz lezzetler... Yaşanılası tadimlar😇👏👏👏👍✂️

Real taste of Turkiye! The one of the biggest headache of being immigrant is its so hard to find proper Turkish food in this city. For last 4 years i found some good Turkish restaurants and Lokkanta is in my top 3. Best kaburga!

This Turkish restaurant in London offers an exceptional experience. We ordered yogurtlu lamb beyti and kaburga. The flavors of the dishes were so delightful, truly a treat for our taste buds. As a sweet surprise, they also served us baklava, which was a delightful gesture. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, providing excellent service. We're thrilled to have found a place in London that represents Turkish cuisine so well. We will definitely visit again!

I have only given 5 Stars, because if it was possible I would give 10 star's! very friendly staff! and extremely helpful! food was delicious and out of this world, I would recommend this 100%. and had the most enjoyable evening.

friendly staff👍🏻 delicious food👍🏻

مطعم مميز من ناحية الخدمة والطعم والسعر.

Das essen war sehr lecker und alle Zutaten waren frisch 👍🏻 Das Brot und die dips ich konnte nicht aufhören zu essen

Very friendly service and the meat tastes amazing!

Locale semplice con cucina a vista. Buon cibo, discreto servizio con personale molto cortese

Londraya mı Türkiye mi ayırt edilemeyecek kadar lezzetli yemekler var. Çalışanları çok ilgili ve mekan çok hijyenik. Mutluka gelinmesi gereken bir yer.

المطعم لذيذ جدًا والخدمة رهيبه وتعامل الموظفين رائع جدًا .. اخذت الصور من البرنامج نفسه لاني من الجوع ما قدرت اصور هههه .. طلبت شيش الدجاج و اضلاع غنم و صحن سندوتش كباب الدجاج المغطى بالثوم والصلصه ، حرفيًا كل شي طلبته كان ولااا غلطه ولذيذ جدًا وفاجئتني لذة ريش اللحم وطراوتها .. طلبت بعدها شاهي تركي ولا غلطه 👍🏼

Amazing food Lovely guys Great service and quality Will def come back here again 😋❤️

Delicious Turkish cousine. Well made and delegant stuff. Nice staff;nice people. Definetly recommended.

I recommend this restaurant! The food was very tasty we really enjoyed it! The staff were very nice and welcoming.

Lovely Turkish grill and the staff were very kind and hospitable. Definitely worth the visit.

The best restaurant in London where you can have a Turkish barbecue. From the staff to the taste of their food, everything is great!

I visited with my friend and we had sarma beyti, it was absolutely amazing and very good atmosphere as well.

Amazing food, one of the best Turkish kebab. The mix meze is also very very good, traditional and authentic. Highly recommended.

İşim dolayısıyla bir çok ülkeye seyahatte bulunurum fakat LOKKANTA da yediğim yemek ayrı bir lezzet. Hizmeti çalışanları temizliği güler yüz hepsini bir arada bulundurmak kolay iş değildir emeklerinize ve ellerinize sağlık .

Güzel bir Türk restorantı ortamında sıcak samımı calısanlarla bırlıkte cekıcı bır atmosfere sahıb aılece gıdıle bılcek güzel bir mekan LOKANTA

Pretty typical Turkish grill restaurant with nice interior and friendly service. Unfortunately the amount and quality of meat was below average. The doner didn’t feel freshly cut. Adana kebab was tasty but quite small. Baklava was great. My rating: 3.3

Beautiful food and staff. Staying in area and tried Lakkanta and it was beautiful. Delicious food and beautiful staff. Can’t recommend enough.

This is the best Türkiye food I've ever had in London

Do not walk past this place! Walk inside and order EVERYTHING. Absolutely incredible food and service. Reasonable price and great vibes. We will be back - weekly. Thank you team 👏

Fast service and delicious food must be tried 👍👍👍

Clean space, delicious food, accommodating service! Definitely recommend; I am coming back next time I'm in London!

Highly recommend; thank you for the excellent service and good food.
