Lokma Turkish Grill & Bar in Southwark

Good restaurant serving tasty Turkish cuisine. Outdoor seating gets the sun and you can even get live music in the square of you go on the first Sunday of the summer months. The warm Humus is was not bad, the lamb on top was good but had a few gristly bits in it. The mixed shish came with delicious rice and a side salad. The Lamb was a little tough but tasty, the chicken cooked well and juicy.

Pretty good food. Takeaway lunch options are well priced and sizeable (falafel, hummus, chicken shawarmas). Dine in is also yummy, enjoyed the beet hummus, okra dish, and various other things. Not much in way of atmosphere at lunch. Would eat there again.

Had a wonderful evening! Food was exceptional and we couldn't stop eating. Mirjahon was a wonderful waiter and looked after us really well.

Friendly and attentive staff and a nice atmosphere. Food took ages to arrive though, and when it did, the portions in no way reflected the price of the dishes. Felt a bit ripped off. Will stick to local Turkish in future

A beautiful meal as always. Food is 10/10 and lots to choose from. Always so accommodating and very family friendly. The kids love the food here too and my little girl really enjoyed the entertainment and got involved for a dance :). I would defo recommend it here. Lovely little setting in Bermondsey square.

Amazing food, amazing service, warm atmosphere, great team of people. We had our wedding reception here and everybody loved it. Strongly recommend Lokma for great food

Great food and service. Value for money.

Very nice food and service, the terrace was perfect ✨

This is is a fun place to spend an evening. Always lively and a great mix of clientele.

The best service. The best time. Thanks to Asad x

Zera was really good and helpful with our experience.

Avaz was the best waiter. Come on Friday for the belly dancing show!!!

It’s a robbery. Loads of vegetables and very little neat. The amount of plastid that they use is a shame.

Really good food, decent price and nice decoration in this lovely Turkish restaurant We had two big platters and couldnt finish! we took the left over home : it was really THAT tasty!

Pasé por envolturas para llevar después de algunas bebidas en la zona. Comida increíble, y muy atento y excelente servicio, a pesar de que era solo para llevar.

My party was waited on by a very polite, helpful and respectful young man called Abdel, he made our experience a great one, he went over and beyond for me as i was on crutches and assisted me when i needed it Abdel is an asset to your establishment x The only downside was having to climb the stairs with double crutches and the staff downstairs did not offer to help me however, Abdel met me at the tip of the stairs and helped me. Well done Abdel i will return because of him x

Very nice service Good food, great atmosphere

The food was great and came quickly. The atmosphere was very accommodating and all staff were welcoming. Our waiter avaz was really friendly and excellent service from him. 5/5 Will recommend

Great Turkish platter. The food is amazing

Great service lovely staff ; aziz was very amazing with his service the whole team was great enjoyed myself at Lokma

Great food, great service, cool restaurant!!

Food was amazing! Just russian music ruined atmosphere )

Claudia was absolutely amazing. Will Defintel come back. Hopefully she is working next time! Love her

Great food, drinks & shisha. Also excellent service

Very friendly atmosphere, reception warm. The food tastes nice and fresh

Mashaallah, The Sister that owns the place very extremely helpful in finding a place for me and my friend to pray Maghrib Salah after we broke our fast. Jzkallahu khairan. Food was portions were great but some of the beef meat was a bit overcooked or burnt but alhamdualilah overall very tasty. Salad was also very tasty as well as the chilli sauce 😋.

Great service, really enjoyed the food and the conversation with the staff was fantastic.

Thank you to Jerry and the staff at Lokma. We always come here for our work lunches and he is a very good host/ waiter. 10/10 service and food

Amazing! Service was on point and genuine. The members of staff also engaged with the children in our party, which made them feel involved. Highly recommended.

Good food. Warm service. Lovely dance.

Great customer service by Avaz. Will visit again - teşekkürler!

Music on Saturday was great so shout out to the DJ.

We were visiting London and stumbled upon this Turkish restaurant in Bermondsey – what a great find! The evening was absolutely wonderful. The cocktails were expertly made, and the mixed grill platter for three was incredibly delicious – though way too much food for us! The service was fantastic, and we truly appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for an amazing experience! Highly recommended! Claudia Elisabeth

Large portions, excellent quality food

Thanks Avaz for being such a great waiter, I had a great time and such delicious food at Lokma. Will be back!

Delicious mixed grill and good atmosphere - cheers Avaz!

Lokma has a very pleasant upmarket but relaxed interior feel. The food is nicely presented, satisfying, and great value for money. The service is very friendly and personable.

Great wraps for lunch. Great for dinner with a group that likes meat. The meat platter is amazing

Good food and atmosphere is amazing.

Amazing food. Fresh. Great quality. Will be back

Great food and recommed..service charged added, which is now it seems compulsory whatever the service standard. However, it left a rather bad taste, when the waiteress handed the chip n'pin machine back, with the words "would like to also give me some (money) tip for the service I gave you", so that option was another 10%, 15% on top of the bill plus the restaurant %service charge. Ironically, on the way in to the restaurant another couple were leaving and "having words" between themselves about the cost of the service charges. I know times are tough, but felt a bit mugged off with touching 25% of the bill on service.

Had an amazing evening celebrating a birthday. Claudia was lovely and very patient with our big group of girls. The food was delicious and well priced. Belly dancing was fab and really added to the experience. Thank you!

I have been in this restaurant a lot of times, food is absolutely delicious! Service is amazing, especially Aziz is the best!

Claudia was the best! Such good service and food. We had such a nice evening.

Great food,location,service and out of this world cocktails and always a good pint of beer which in London is a rareity Been to this restaurant many times Chicken wings are the best

Staff are nice, but if you expect to get your food within a hour you’re not in luck. My food just didn’t arrive. No updates on my order. They gave me my mocktail for free. Still, not happy. Important to note there was only like 6 other tables in the restaurant.

Such a wonderfully decorated restaurant, the staff was super friendly and attentive!

Great atmosphere that is Turkish and good food.

We were in London for work and happened to pass by this restaurant, we decided to go in, we liked the restaurant itself, the food was very tasty. There were very friendly waiters there, I would like to highlight a waiter named Aziz, a very friendly guy made the evening interesting. If I fly to London again, I will definitely come to this restaurant...

Amazing food, amazing service and the best cocktails in London! Aziz is the man - makes sure his customers are satisfied and are having the best time, I’ll definitely be recommending to my friend and anyone who is looking for great Turkish food with a vibe.

Lokma Turkish Grill & Bar, London Authentic Turkish flavors, warm service from Aziz and his team, and a cozy atmosphere. The mezze platter and wood-fired dishes are a must-try. Cocktails are limited but perfectly mixed. A fantastic spot for a delicious meal.

Good food, nice and friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

A nice surprise for fans of Turkish cuisine, even if the manager is not Turkish! I ordered a mixed plate, and everything was delicious: the skewers were tender and tasty, the chicken well marinated, and the koftes perfectly spiced. Sides like rice, salad and homemade bread complemented everything perfectly. Respect for authentic flavors is evident, and the service is warm and efficient. The service is friendly and efficient. A great discovery for lovers of Turkish specialties, regardless of the origin of the manager!

Amazing good food and service from Ras.

Love this place. Food is really Turkish in authentic way, yet not too heavy or fat. Good menu choice for me at, fish, starters

lovely food and service. Portions are very good also.

Trekked to Lokma Bermondsey Square from Tottenham for a family birthday lunch. The food was nice, but can get a similar quality of Turkish cuisine in Stoke Newington and Tottenham for a lot less money, with a warmer and friendlier atmosphere. They have some strange rules - they can only take orders once the whole group is ready to order, and only the grilled meats come with bulgar wheat sides, and not the grilled fish! I got the grilled whole sea bass, which was nice enough and seasoned well, but for the price, you'd think they'd at least remove the central bone, seeing as how it was butterflied anyway. And the music was annoying - are you a nightclub or a restaurant? Just play traditional Turkish music. Not sure who they're trying to please. The food was good enough, but overpriced and the atmosphere needs to improve with friendlier, more flexible staff.

Food here was excellent, staff were friendly too. My eyes were bigger than my belly that day.

Had my networking group’s Christmas dinner here and boy it did not disappoint! The Turkish are renowned for being hospitable and generous and the service and food/portions were exactly that. There were 8 of us but the mixed grill was ordered for 6 and we just about managed to clear the plates. Mixed mezzo for starters highly recommended too. Superb night, amazing value, highly recommended!

Great food and service with a smile. They did a great job hosting our annual Family brunch which is no easy task (especially not after a few bottles of the bottomless Proseccos).

I’ve been to Lokma a few times and it’s never disappointed. I decided to host our annual family Christmas (bottomless) brunch here and everything was fab, especially as it was 50 of us! Hospitality, food and the fact that we didn’t have to wait for drinks to be topped up was great! A special thanks to Aziz and Otabek. Highly recommend :)

GREAT food, service and atmosphere. I found myself thanking the staff in the kitchen the food was so good.

Best Turkish food I’ve had in a long while!! Everything was delicious and succulent (pause). It’s a bit far from me to go for a casual meal but it’s definitely a place I’ll be back to at some point.

Lokma in Westfield Stratford-Went in person to prebook for 5 adults and a toddler.. manager advise its fine without even taking note of it…Arrived later for dinner, manager says no place- when i said to him he agreed early, he denies and tried to say that i gave wrong info.. this is not the first time that it happened, only difference that the previous time he manage to find us a space…while the food is lovely, its the wrost customer service ever..there were more people behind me who advise they prebook as well only to be said that no reservation was made..

The food was delicious and it came very quickly. Definitely coming back.

Ras was absulutaly amazing! Tnx lokma

Really great food. At honest prices

Booked this restaurant for a graduation celebration but we ended up being rushed out, didn't even had time to eat the cake there as we had to leave after 2 hours although we were given 30 minutes on top of 2 hours but it wasn't enough time to relax in there. We wanted to have a chilled evening and try some cocktails but unfortunately it wasn't possible due to their timing of 2 hours allowance. Not good experience and not intend to return. My advice is, if you want a place for any kind of celebration do not book lokma in bermondsey you better off booking the one in stratford which had better background songs good entertainment and we weren't rushed out, food should have better taste as it testless.

When I was paying the bill the machine offered options for the service charge. I double checked the bill and confirmed it was already included. Not sure if they are intentionally trying to cheat their customers but I will certainly never go back.

Amazing experience with lovely, friendly and accommodating staff . We had a particularly wonderful waitress called Zera who was extremely attentive to our every need and accommodating our requests with the most beautiful smile . Food was fabulous and there was live entertain on the Saturday . 10/10

Great restaurant with amazing food and lovely atmosphere. This music was great too, not too loud either. We were served by Zera and her customer service was top notch. I'll definitely recommend.

Ended up here after a really bad experience at the oxo tower for my birthday dinner. I’m glad now as our food was delicious. It was happy hour until 7pm so i had some lovely porn star martinis. We hadn’t pre-booked but we’re still accommodated. The server was great, we had a mixed grill platter for 2 and end up bringing some home, sides were warm and tasty and the complimentary bread was so fresh! would definitely recommend eating here!

Straight up amazing. Food delicious, great service and good prices.

Excellent food, cocktails, shisha and service. And we were lucky to watch belly dance. 🎉🍺

Been coming here for years. Never a disappointment to bring our guests here. FOUR stars given because we noticed that in the last 2 visits, the staff were asking for extra tip despite paying the service charge in the bill! NAUGHTY! We leave extra tip sometimes if we feel like it but please do not prompt your customers to pay on top! It is a turn off.

Eve had excellent customer service. She made sure that me and my family had the best time throughout our experience..

Make sure you look out for Eve when you get to Lokma

Eve was fantastic. Great service all night for my friend’s 30th birthday!! She was an excellent host

Really nice restaurant with an ambience. The private room can accommodate a large group, and their service is world class. Very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Eve was amazing very attentive, it was a delight to dine at Lokma!

They took care of us and made sure my brother had a good birthday, Eve and her team made sure the food was delivered in a good time. 30th birthday

The food was amazing and Eve was a great host!! She was kind, patient and helpful! We came for our friends 30th birthday and she made sure we had fun!

The hostess was very rude and when we asked for the dessert menu her response was “we are not a coffeeshop to have desserts”. We left even without ordering. Not recommended if you don’t want to face with such rude attitude.

I will definitely be coming here again to try out more of the stuff on the menu. The customer service was great, staff on the day were very friendly and easy going. The food is absolutely delicious and the drinks was also really good. They have such a big variety of drinks and food.

Great service and very nice food. Avaz was wonderful.

Second time coming this year, food is always delicious Special mention to Abaz for his amazing service

We had a lovely time atmosphere was lovely the food was great and the service was very pleasant will be going again 😄😄

Thank you to Ras amazing customer service! Made my experience amazing! He needs a pay rise!

Ras gave us brilliant service and the food was amazing, he made the experience even better. The lamb was very nice.

Our first time at Lokma with no reservation but we were lucky to get a table outside. Greeted very professionally but with a warm welcome by a young lady which I thought was the manager but infact she is a waitress & absolutely amazing at what she does so I made sure to get her name as she is a credit to Lokma (Otilia)Very attentive. As for the food, well wow... I had the yaprak döner and my partner had the char grilled Mackerel, we finished off with the BEST künefe we have ever had washing it down with Turkish tea. That's the good, now it's the bad... The salad was a let down on both our meal, very basic & bland, for the price of the meal a better salad is expected like all other restaurants I go to. The proper let down, is they charge for the Turkish tea having had a meal and dessert which I definitely think this should be complimentary as being Turkish myself this is the culture of the Turkish restaurants to treat their customers to a çay after their meal on the house. Overall it was a pleasant evening great service great atmosphere beautiful decor(absolutely love the originality of the decor in the ladies) Definitely will be returning to try the fish platter for 2 next time.

Buena comida, pero la música era demasiado alta que no se puede tener una conversación. Auto aplican un cargo de servicio del 10%, pero la pantalla cuando paga le pregunta si desea agregar uno - muy muy furtivo! CUIDADO

A wonderful celebratory evening!! Eve and her team gave exemplary customer service. The dishes ordered were divine. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Food is horrible and tasteless. I did not enjoy and I am leaving hungry

Not bad, but not special. Prices is fair but not cheap. Good place, can be tried.

Delicious food, great service and an atmosphere that definitely deserves a high rating. I highly recommend it ☺️

Very large menu selection. Very polite service. It's a pity that the tea was so small because it was delicious but I know that it is served like that in Turkey. I highly recommend it because the dish was large and delicious. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

I have been there twice, the shisha is top! Highly recommend this place

Food was very mediocre. Nothing great to write home about. The portions weren’t generous as compared to other Turkish restaurants I have dined at. Additionally, we were charged for ordering additional bread which I was surprised as these are usually complimentary. Lastly, the margarita jug we ordered was too strong — too much tequila was poured.

I had a wonderful dining experience at **Lokma Turkish Grill and Bar**, and much of that is thanks to our fantastic waiter, **Ubaid Ullah**. He greeted us with a warm smile and made sure we were comfortable right from the start. Ubaid was attentive and provided great recommendations, which made choosing from the delicious menu much easier. I ordered the **lamb kebab**, and it was absolutely delicious – tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Ubaid made sure the dish was served promptly and checked in regularly to see if everything was to my liking. His friendly yet professional approach really enhanced the overall experience. Ubaid’s service truly stood out, and it’s clear he takes pride in ensuring his guests have a memorable meal. If you're dining at Lokma, I highly recommend the lamb kebab and asking for Ubaid – he’ll make your visit exceptional!

I had the pleasure of dining at Lokma Restaurant recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The menu offered a wide array of delicious dishes, each one bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What made my visit even more special was the outstanding service provided by Ubaid Ullah, our server. Ubaid was attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire meal. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, making excellent recommendations from the menu and attending to every detail with a genuine smile. His knowledge of the dishes and his ability to anticipate our needs truly set him apart. Lokma Restaurant is a gem in every sense, with fantastic food and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. But the experience was elevated to new heights by Ubaid Ullah’s exceptional hospitality. If you’re looking for a place where great food meets extraordinary service, look no further than Lokma. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to all my friends!
