Simit Sarayi in City of London, Westminster

Very busy location so we arrived at the "wrong time" and had to queue up for 10 minutes to be served. Once served, the food was fresh and well prepared, but on the expensive side. but this is central London and prices are always more expensive in the centre

Visited a couple of times while in London. Both times, no simit... took a take away tea and pastry.. pastry reheqted and the lid of the tea does not fit so i spilt half my tea and did not enjoy the pastry as it was already dry again by the time i ate it.. hate to see and compare to the operation in turkey.. feels like the staff have lost love, really needs an uplift

Simit is on the way to my work place and that's the only reason I've been so many times. Every time I walked in there was different miserable face with rude manners and eyes rolling. The funny thing is that I've never asked questions or been difficult so I can't understand. Unbelievable. And they are very slow, it's always a mess on the till. They're struggling with taking payment.. Worst costumer service I've ever seen in my life. The only girl that was nice was the blond girl in bond Street station shop! Thanks for that!

This morning I had a couple of minutes to step in and visit. It was quite a disappointment - not great service and overpriced, tasteless food. I'd been meaning to try this place for a while as I am a fan of pastries and Turkish food. The staff member serving me at the counter did not grasp the details of my order very well (a cheese spiral and double macchiato to eat in - not too complicated). He hesitated for a while and then pointed at something else which had cheese in (rectangular and covered in sesame seeds) and asked if that was the item I meant. It wasn't but I decided to go for that instead. He also seemed to struggle with the "eat in" aspect of the order (I was first given a bag - not a tray/plate) and also took a while to make the coffee, which he spent about ten seconds placing onto the saucer, only for it to be off-balance and ultimately spilling slightly when I picked up the tray. The rectangular cheese pastry that I received was quite poor. Stodgy white dough served lukewarm on the outside, with cold, hard and flavourless cheese on top and throughout. Had this pastry cost 99p at a service station, I wouldn't be so bothered, but with the coffee this came to £6.75 (!) That's more than any premium coffee/pastry shop - and probably on par with Harrods pricing, so I expected a lot more from the food and service. The only saving grace was the coffee, which tasted OK.

Nice freshly prepared baguettes in front of us. With some nice delicatessen to go with it. Would recommend it definitely.

Spraying the tables as people try to consume their drink and cake....very poor. This at 6pm of a sat evening with insufficient staff behind counter to serve customers. Not sure if this is a franchise but this Oxford St branch poor exponents of it and doing little for its reputation. Cares little for customers. I've to leave before I choke on the spray 😨😱

Good variety of food (sandwiches, stuffed Turkish burek made of filo pastry,etc.). Overall, good quality of food, but the sitting capacitg is very lumited.

This is a Turkish restaurant that serves breads, pastries and sandwiches plus coffee. You can sit down (limited seating) or take out. Although I did enjoy my pastry, I will not go back here. The staff is beyond rude - they are totally unhelpful and act as thought they would rather not have a customer bother them. It took a long time to get served and finally when it was my turn I asked a question about the pastries. The server reacted in an offhand manner with a negative attitude.

I found the staff in here to be pretty rude. In addition they do not have toilet facilities, when it was my understanding under UK law they should provide them. The food was "ok", not amazing, but not awful either. There are much better places to goto than this restaurant.

Quick stop by for dessert and coffee after a meal while shopping at Central London. Nice little coffee shops where you are able to grab a snack and some pastry in addition to some Americano or Latte or Cappuccino if you wish. They have limited quantities but they are all reasonably good and not too sweet.

Well that was an experience not to be repeated!! The Oxford St cafe is due to be open till midnight according to their website. We entered 1125pm with 35 mins to go. We purchased cakes and drinks, the former provided in bags. Went to sit down inside as others were seated outside when we were advised it was only take away after 11pm. However this was not explained in advance and as the place was empty inside we asked to sit down. Female member of staff kindly agreed. Unfortunately only 2 minutes sat down when the rudest and aggressive person I've ever had the misfortune to meet in a food establishment shouted at us to stop eating and get out. From what I could ascertain this chap was the manager. If he'd worked for me he'd have been shown the door there and then for the manner with which he spoke to paying customers. Big shame. Rated Simit Sarayi, the Green Lanes branch for example you're treated with respect (like a king in fact) Oxford St branch left a sour taste. Cost us £25 for 3 drinks and s few cakes whereas good manners from the manager here would have cost NOTHING.

Terrible food and drinks the coffee was bitter and cakes stale. The service was awful with them confusing customers and then embarrassing customers. Not visiting again

A good place to grab a bite to eat. The simit sandwiches are great. A little pricey though. But where else can you get simit in central london

Its a very nice turkey food with good tee and cofe With nice seting erya I like Turkish cofe as will

We went in to grab a quick coffee and snack while we did our shopping. We ordered our coffee and the manager made room for us to sit even though the cafe was busl. I thought that was a kind gesture. The food was displyed...

I went there with my boyfriend to have a coffee and because of my lactose intolerance I asked to one member of the staff for soya milk, which answered my back to have it at Starbuck. It was the worst customer service I have received...

I visited Simit Sarayi for a snack in the evening and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were open quite late. I ordered a small snack - a cheese and dill pastry - which filled a gap and was very tasty! The service was...

Whilst out shopping we decided to stop off at Simit Sarayi in oxford street. It wasn’t busy and the staff were friendly. There was a huge array of pastries but sweet and savoury. We had a cheese and olive pastry which was very nice. The...

I been with my friends place was very busy but smells of bakery food soo beautiful also tasty of Simit ,feta cheeses borek amazing I will definitely recommend,

This cafe belongs to an international Turkish chain. It’s not fantastic, but it’s good and you can get here sandwiches, pizzas, cakes an sumits.So it’s good if you need to quickly grab a sandwich or coffee and cake. This particular branch is good, especially considering...

This cafe has really good options for sandwiches, wraps, puffs, desserts and pastries. Rightly placed at oxford street for a quick and delicious meal to grab while shopping. And do try Ayran a local Turkish drink.

Entered here forced by a sudden rain, but we didn't regret it, at all. Very good snacks, for a fair price. They are a network, spreaded in all London - but I could recommend only this one...

I live in Turkey and am a great fan of “simit”, a traditional Turkish bagel/pretzel... It is a very versatile food item, for lack of a better word to describe it. It is better when baked in small batches and served while still hot. You...

I have been there with my wife, we really enjoyed the taste of their delicious Baguette chicken parmesan, Tahini Spiral, Sausage and the lovely fresh orange juice I liked the style of the place with the wooden styling Also I like the service staff, they...

Didn't know Simit Sarayi had come to UK until last year. Excellent halal food snacks when out and about. Good for breakfast, brunch and even lunch. So many options to choose from. Visit everytime when I'm in the area.

Customer service is really bad. As you went in the staff were having a chat amongt themselves and had to wait until there conversations were finished. Likewise very bad table service. You order your food and wait till they heat it up and give it...

We happily stumbled upon this bakery/cafe - there was a lot of choice and the food was of good quality. Nice to take something away for lunch/a snack later.

I first got acquainted to simit in turkey 10years ago.the place in oxford smells heavenly,prices are reasonable and tastes great for a quick bite.

Every time the manager serves me and is rude and unfriendly, I tell myself its just a one off. Today I finally had it. Every time she serves me, she is rude and unfriendly. This has happened at least a half a dozen times. Absolute...

We called here for a quick lunch, the store was very busy mainly with take-a-ways so we managed to get a seat. The food displayed looked very appetising and the place looked clean and tidy. The cheese and tomato pretzel style sandwiches were filling and...

It is what it is ! - if you are in Oxford St. and need a quick lunch, the offering is quite different from all the other fast food outlets. Don’t expect a gourmet experience, but it’s quick and good value for money.

only coffee/ pasterie shop open boxing day. staff where rude and moody. no drinks menu. expensive and food served on paper plates with plastic cutlery that broke when used on hard cake's. food taste bland. most fake sausage meat I ate. definitely avoid!

So extremely grateful that this coffee shop and bakery was open on Christmas morning! The breakfast was plentiful and a single order was enough for a light meal for two. The staff was extremely helpful in explaining the menu, was a bit complicated when ordering...

It was cold and raining outside and came in seemed busy but the cake was hard and dry and coffee strong and bad but the service was as the worst she said a flat white and latte is the same ???

I loved the feta borek and Turkish coffee. I also liked the design of the cafe with its European style glass display counter. I didn't care so much for the cheddar pide. They should use Turkish cheese - it works better.

We grabbed a quick bite to eat here as it was quite and the food looked delicious. We had a mince and potato scroll and a pepperoni and cheese bake. Both were interesting takes on western classics. Really nice and a good portion to share.

We wanted breakfast, so thought we would give this place a try. It seems very popular and does have an extensive choice of food and drink. Note difference to prices for dining in or takeaway.

I am not too keen on sweet cakes and also curious about other countries food so i tried the green apple pastry only 2 pounds and was perfect. Like i expected the middle east food is. Maybe i am wrong but if u look for...

Webentered this place because we were exhausted after an afternoon of shopping and sightseeing and we saw a free table. We had an expresso and a latte and, as I said at the beginning, it was awful. It tasted chemical and acid. In fact, my...

The staff did not look at me until I excused myself, I attributed this to them being 'busy'(no one was in there). Anyway they turn to me, I place an order and the staff tells me that what am asking for is on the other...

This place amazing i always visit here when ever i come to oxford street. I asked for the wifi password but as soon as turned on the wifi password my phone connected automatically. This usually only happens when i go home. Special thanks to kind...

I ordered this panini like sandwiches. Tastes terrible, nothing like the ones in turkey. And it's not fresh. Acma wasn't fresh too. Tea for £2.60 and you have to stir it with wooden stick. Get a metal spoon guys! And paper plates for pastries! I...

We tried this chain in the morning on Southampton Row and we were very impressed with the quality and simplicity yet tasty snacks they offer. Service is good and staff were friendly. Unfortunately they don't have toilet facilities and they are more crowded than the...

If you're a fan of hummus, kebabs or baba ganoush - go here! not the swankiest of locations, but great food.
