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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Superb night, amazing value, highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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!
