Skewd Kitchen in Enfield

Food - starters were very flavourful in taste. The humus, in particular, was very well done. The bread is homemade and tastes as such. The meat for the mains was very tender and nicely presented. Service - excellent customer service with staff available all time round. Atmosphere - the restaurant has a great atmosphere with very comfortable seating. Overall, a very pleasant experience which will make me, most definitely, come back.

“We hired the Vault Room, and the food and service were excellent. All the meals were served simultaneously, allowing the 12 of us to enjoy our dinner together, which was greatly appreciated. The desserts were unique and delicious, adding a special touch to the evening. Overall, it was a night to remember, and the staff were faultless in their service.”

The food, the ambiance the decor and the wine was amazing. The owner is a funny guy and an amazing host. Nice little gem in cockfosters!

Went for my birthday. The staff were all lovely, despite it being quite a busy night. Great ambience, excellent food and the drinks were gorgeous. My friends and I said we'd all definitely go back again.

It was a very nice experience! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Such a fantastic evening!! Skewed, you are such an incredible restaurant - please don’t ever change!! The food, the atmosphere, the welcome!! Love it!! Quite possibly the best restaurant in London!! Thank you

Below average for the price , the service was horrendous,

What an amazing experience. Food was delicious with a huge choice. Atmosphere was great as was the service. It was my son's birthday and they made it really special

The manager on the phone provided excellent customer service very friendly and polite I ordered before I thought the food couldn’t get better and it did the boneless seabass the chunky chips the cacik and the salad and the baklava. I had beyti sarma last time it was delicious I will be ordering again highly recommend this amazing Turkish Kitchen

This restaurant is the best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to in England. Everything was wonderful, everything was delicious, and beautifully presented. Due to my allergy and illness, as well as the treatment I am currently undergoing, they prepared the meals I requested, and all of them were exactly as I wanted and completely safe for me. I had no issues after returning home, which means everything was safe. The waiter who took care of me and my friends was very kind – 10 out of 10 for him. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and everything was fresh. We probably ate the best octopus in the world – it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful, elegant, and atmospheric, and everyone is very kind. Overall, I am extremely impressed, and I am very thankful for the wonderful evening and for preparing meals that were safe for my health. We will definitely return, and I think it will be soon. Overall, we highly recommend it and are very satisfied – both the restaurant and the food deserve 100 % satisfaction.

Live and food! Best Turkish restaurant in north London

The food was good,but the manager there told us to go even sooner than 2 hours....He made us feel uncomfortable 😐. He literally came to our table, after we finish the last spoon of dessert ( after 1h 40 minutes)and tell us we need to leave cause he need the table. We paid 60£ each for some Chicken shish, a cocktail and a dessert...

I had a medical emergency, and needed use of the gents. Was refused by owner & manager [I think, maybe other staff members], despite telling them it was a medical emergency & have a card for this eventuality; and would be happy to just buy a drink or leave a tip…. Leading me to have to empty my stoma bag in the middle of the street into a dog-bag. I did not have time to find another open location in the area. I’m 50/50 on if I want to post this, that in itself furthers the embarrassment… but this kind of thing is why there are so many locals won’t eat here or the sister-Resturants (that, and the prices / badly parked posh cars). Yes, they don’t ‘owe’ me access to their toilet, and Yes, I don’t owe them a decent review. [Food looks good but extremely pricey, atmosphere looks good… Same is true of the dozens of friendly restaurants in the area ]

We celebrated a friend’s birthday with their Anatolian breakfast. The food was delicious, well cooked and beautifully presented. There was plenty to eat and we enjoyed bottomless tea. Overall it was a very enjoyable brunch.

Skewd Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with an amazing ambiance that sets the tone for a truly special dining experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, making it perfect for any occasion. The food is simply outstanding—every dish is cooked to absolute perfection, bursting with flavor and presented with such care and creativity. It's clear that the chefs are passionate about what they do, as each bite feels like a masterpiece. To top it all off, the staff are nothing short of exceptional. Professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Skewd Kitchen is a place I’ll return to again and again! Highly recommended!

Very impressive food, level of service, and ambience. The food is very fresh, the staff very attentive, and the venue very nice.

Food was overpriced and of average quality. Service was mediocre. The atmosphere was like a mafia den. Would not return.

Excellent service, food was superb The Manager and staff were so friendly Definitely going back there Oh, the music (DJ), was on point Thanks

High quality Turkish food in Cockfosters, London. Service is impeccable. Has a night out vibe to it. More expensive than your typical Turkish restaurant but that's evident in the quality of the food and service.

Amazing food and special service x

Amazing evening as usual and food just delicious. We were looked after so well and 9 of our group who hadn’t been before were so impressed that they said they will definitely return!

Great place for food and coffee. Excellent service

5* service and food. Very expensive but worth every penny.

We've dined here a few times and have always had great food and excellent service. Its a little pricey, but you do get exceptional service and great quality. The atmosphere is perfect and its always super busy. They cater well for the whole family and allergies. We will definitely keep on returning.

The food was okay but at central London prices?!

Popped in with my partner last night randomly. I was astounded by the quality of dining, food and selection of wines. Service was amazing. What was meant to be a quick "pop in" is now my go-to restaurant. So homely. Thank you skewd!

Lovely food. Great music, at right volume

He was very good in terms of welcome, attention and cleanliness. The flavors of the dishes were also very successful. It is recommended.

Food was very good and service was excellent. Will go there again.

Overpriced Kebabs and steaks. Load music in the background Small slim plates.

My go to for family celebrations. Great food, great service. LOVE their lychee Martinis. A bit pricey, hence we only go there for special occasions.

We celebrated our engagement with Skewd and honestly, such incredible hospitality. They looked after us so well and they really made our night so special. Could not recommend them enough!

Best restaurant in north london. Reasonable prices great. Very high quality food and services. This place will be my new date night location.

Great food, great atmosphere. Mayfair vibes in North London 👌🏽

Excellent cuisine, good service but relatively pricey.

Had my birthday bash there, superb food great atmosphere, just pure class. No wonder they won multiple awards. The fine detail from flowers to soaps in washrooms. Amazing. Be taking my guests there soon. keep it up Skewd !!!

Excellent experience. Food, service, staff and atmosphere are all of a high standard. We in particular recommend the yellow fin tuna and the scallops. The manager is very friendly and we will certainly be visiting again.

Had an evening meal with a friend, and everything was perfect! The food, atmosphere, and service is always great. This place never disappoints!

Had a lovely visit to this restaurant last weekend. Although we arrived about 50 mins earlier than our booking time we were seated straight away. Customer service was excellent with really attentive servers, the owner of the restaurant was so lovely and a hoot. Food was excellent and prices were very reasonable for the quality provided. Highly recommend!

Special experience, a bit pricey but worth it

Great service and atmosphere, great food and desserts, highly recommend it

Love Skewd - especially for special occasions

Great food , service and drinks

We've recently tried a delivery from this place and I have to say it was excellent. Rather expensive for a kebab but this is not your average Turkish restaurant. I'm planning to visit for a meal inside.

Never wanted to dine in a club and now i know why. Couldn't hear a word. Unfortunately I could still see the prices on the menu. Nice food but wow £34 for the smallest mixed grill I've ever had. Nah im out. Oh, the Kunfe desert was unreal. If you want a £9 Turkish desert in a rave then this is your place

We visited on Friday night for a birthday celebration, what a special night! The food was excellent and the service very good and friendly, thank you so much for making our celebrations so special! I can't wait to visit again!

Fantastic service, fantastic food. My mother and mother-in-law both have allergies, and the staff were super friendly and helpful in helping them navigate their choices. So pleased to have such a special restaurant nearby. So much tasty food on the menu, can’t wait to go back to try more dishes.

Everything was great, the staff was amazing, and the ambience was perfect. Thank you!

Regular customer, and the food is really great... highly recommended!

Best restaurant in London! Better than any Mayfair restaurant! Food is always delicious, staff are fab. We go to the Cockfosters branch usually twice a month! We went to the grove yesterday and have to say the food is just as nice! Although the Cockfosters one has my heart :-) thank you

Fresh, tasty and excellent staff

First time dining in but I have ordered online before. We arrived without a reservation at 6.30ish and was given a table until 8pm. Within 45mins the place was absolutely packed. I had the grilled seabass. U have the option on filleted or a whole fish with bones. I was hungry so chose filleted so I could just eat quickly. It came with chunky hand cut chips, a shepherd's salad and a dip. It was absolutely delicious. I didn't need to add any salt or pepper which I usually do. We orderdered 2 bottles of water for the table and had a cocktail each. We were 3. Before your meal they bring you puffed bread with a buttery garlic cheese. Also delicious. 2 of us had fish and the other the lamb shish. We have a lot of turkish food and she said it was the best lamb shish she ever had. We are all greedy so didn't share or try eachothers main foods so I don't know how it tasted. 1 person got dessert the cheesecake and it was honestly sooo good. Very light and fluffy. We will be back 😎 to try something else next time. Atmosphere was vibrant and bustling but still relaxed. 1 critique, some of the waiters could smile a bit more but it didn't effect the service so, hey. Total £162 approx including £18 service fee

The service was very friendly and attentive and it was great that they made us feel like we had come to the right place for our special day. Ali Nazif was the best I have ever eaten, especially the taste of the eggplant sauce. I will never forget it 🙏❤️❤️

The food, the atmosphere, the service, everything is simply amazing, I would also like to thank Mr. Burhan who took care of us

Lovely food, excellent service, high-class mixology

**This review is for Skewd at the Grove, not Cockfosters** 6 of us went for a meal here and we experienced some of the worst service we’ve ever had. From the off, the woman at front of house was extremely rude and had a face like a slapped arse, not welcoming whatsoever. How she has a job there I have no idea. Completely lacking people skills. We were given menus and had to wait forever to order our drinks. There were staff everywhere who seemed untrained and running around like headless chickens not really sure of what they were doing. After having to flag down a waiter, we finally ordered drinks, mains and starters. 2 of the starters came before anything else (not all at the same time as you’d expect starters to arrive) followed by our drinks which took a further 10 minutes. We called for a manager who came over and apologised and said the rest of our starters will arrive shortly. The food came and it was overall okay, but some of it was cold. We then had to flag someone down to clear our table as plates were sitting there for ages. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I advise anyone thinking to visit to avoid it completely and just stick to the Cockfosters branch as I’ve never had an issue there.

Wonderful restaurant staff. Went there day for my 2 year anniversary with my wife. Left a note with the booking to ask if they could write a special message which was all carried out and delivered as a great surprise for my wife. Made her night and therefore mine. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was lively with a live dj playing some great mixes. The music was a little on the louder side, but that's probably me getting old than an overly loud venue. 100% would recommend!

Excellent food probably Michelin star standard

I had a lovely Turkish breakfast there on Sunday. It's a lovely, clean restaurant with a great team! I really enjoy the Turkish breakfast and highly recommend it!always pleasure to come and visit this restaurant .specially Mr Ercan.polite and helpful.visit again for lunch and was amazing

Top class restaurant for me and my family.

Everything was to a high standard, enjoyed the meze’s, main meal and the lovely desserts.

I always enjoy going to this restaurant.

Great food, service, decor and vibe. DJ music was really loud and could barely hear ourselves speak however. 9.8/10, I recommend coming here

Excellent food and service as always at Skewd celebrating our Wedding anniversary!

Fabulous place, fabulous staff, fabulous food. Loved it!

This resturant has its closing time to be 12.30 midnight on Saturdays only to get there at 11pm and was told that the resturant is closed. Very shocking. Clearly an unprofessional outfit.

Lovely food. Great service. Place is always packed and for good reason. They serve delicious food. Highly recommend

We dined there wirh friends recently. All courses were absolutely de-licious! The Lambs liver / Veli nazik and Kunefe stood out for me. The staff are caring and genuinely want you to enjoy the experience. We will definitely be returning! Well done Team Skewd!

Exceptional place! food ambiance and service wise… next level of Turkish for true gem in the area! Definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not bad food but when you take into consideration food and value for money I would say you could find better

Ercan was a great host . This restaurant is like being on Mayfair. Soooo nice. Thankyou Ercan.

We had a lovely dinner here, food was delicious as were the cocktails! The service was unusually slow when we went, it was busy but even so we had to flag the waiters multiple times over the evening just to take our orders.

Been back a few times now and the food, service and whole atmosphere doesn't disappoint. Fabulous, thank you

Very nice starters and amazing atmosphere

very nice restaurant with an extremely cool setting and top quality service restaurant was excellent, The food tasted so good! The service was great - the staff were all so happy and attentive. Thank you for Mr Ercan his the top man with a excellent experience thank you ☺️

Visited Skewd many times both Demi & Ercan were the perfect hosts, would highly recommend dinning here. Food is the best on the strip.

Wonderful food and great service!

What an interesting restaurant, we went on a Saturday for lunch around 2pm. Very open plan inside so you can see the entire restaurant and even the chefs doing some of the cooking/prep work. It was fairly busy but we were served quickly we were in a large group and the waiter showed amazing patience with us as not everyone arrived at the same time. Food was excellent, drinks were fine. I felt it was a bit expensive but for a one off experience the price wasn't too bad. Overall a good place to go.

Visited this restaurant several times on different occasions. Celebrating birthdays or catching up with family or friends. Food is delicious, very fresh and tasty. Cocktails and wine very good quality. Really like the interior deco, staff is very attentive and good music in the background.

Overall, I had a mixed experience at Skewd, the Turkish restaurant in Cockfosters. While the service was commendable, the lamb shish, despite being the chef's specialty and described as high-quality fillet meat, was disappointingly chewy and of poor quality. It was unfortunate that no one inquired about our satisfaction with the main meal until after dessert was served. Despite these setbacks, the restaurant offers delightful starters and desserts. I hope the quality of the meat improves in the future, as I would consider revisiting for another chance.

Lovely atmosphere and superb delicious food!

We had a family party of about 30 people spread over three tables on a Saturday afternoon, so very quiet. The food was good but not excellent considering the price. I tried the lamb shish which was a little rubbery, chicken wings were good and my sea bass, great but not outstanding. The service staff were professional but not really attentive or particularly friendly. One tall server was quite nonchalant, like he was too good to be there or we were not worthy. The drinks, Pina Colada for my daughter was terrible. The restaurant decor is class, the place exudes modernity but ultimately does not deliver for a family meal. Young small groups will give it 5 stars but I begrudgingly give it 3.

Our first time here tonight with 4 friends. Very friendly staff, great food, not overpriced drinks as so many other restaurants do these days however £9.80 for 2 bottles still water a bit naughty.

Very welcoming, excellent food, efficient service. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Had a highly enjoyable meal there. Great service and the meat was exceptional

Ercan, Carlo, Ramon, Ozlem, Sibel no1 & no.2 Burak, Lexi + many more not forgetting the kitchen crew are second to none! The only place to go in Cockfosters and no, I'm not getting a kick back. That said if you say visit off the back of my review I might just get a free bottle of sparking water and more importantly you will not be disappointed!

Great restaurant and very high quality food and service. Arjan, Carlos, Borat, Alper are great staff that never take their eye off the ball. This restaurant is always full.

I visited Skewd for the first time with my husband and young son. The staff were friendly and the decor was nice, very up-market vibes. However my first negative was that there was no baby changing facilities, they had highchairs - so were equipped for young children in that respect but no changing area. I was led to their back private room where I had to change my baby on the hard marble-like tabletop (using a portable changing mat but parents will know that these are thin), which poses a health and safety risk and is also pretty unhygienic even though they probably clean the table down. The food was nice, average and nothing spectacular - no better than other Turkish restaurants and in my opinion very overpriced especially when the meat isn't even accompanied by rice dish. The rice we were served that we ordered on the side was not traditional Turkish pilav, it was basmati and did honestly taste like microwavable rice and very expensive when it doesn't need to be. This was a let down. The restaurant definitely has potential but they need to keep in mind what they are serving and work on their execution of dishes to strike a balance between true anatolian meals and a up-market atmosphere, whilst considering the location and clientele. For the money we paid reluctantly, I would expect more.

Luxury Turkish restaurant very good food. Very good service prices are little bit higher than normal. You have to try once.

Just had an £80 takeaway…. Having high expectations after great reviews, couldn’t wait to eat the dishes we ordered. Unfortunately the lamb was undercooked and fatty, chicken dry and neither seasoned, succulent or flavoursome. I literally cook better food and I’m not a chef or trained in cooking. £80…….

I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing experience! The waitress was incredibly helpful and kind. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, definitely something worth coming back for. Highly recommended!

We’ve been to Skewd a couple of times now, and each visit continues to impress with its exceptional Turkish cuisine and stellar service. The attentive staff, led by the manager, always make us feel welcomed and valued. The Ali Nazik and Veli Nazik kebabs are consistently delicious, showcasing the chef’s expertise. Pairing these flavorful dishes with expertly crafted cocktails like the Lychee Martini and Tokyo Rocks elevates the dining experience to new heights. Skewd is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable culinary journey

Had a really good experience it was recommended by a group of friends the food was really good and the service was top tier I was served by a young man called berk really lovely went above and beyond for us.

The food was very low level. The octopus was tough and difficult to eat. The calamari were not crispy at all but soft and oily. Even the fries were thick and tasted like boiled not fried. All the time draughty come through from somewhere which causes me illnesses. Not enough space on the table very squeezed. Service not impressed at all. It is expensive for the food they served.

Very attentive staff, great for occasions really enjoyed our service by Demet. Kids friendly xx

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Skewd Kitchen based in Cockfosters. Surely not my first visit. We wanted to experience the true anatolian flavors so the occasion happened to be on Valentines day. I must say, it was an exquisite culinary experience from start to finish. The flavors, freshness, and authenticity of each dish transported me to the bustling streets of Istanbul. From the savory and aromatic kebabs to the mouthwatering mezze platters, every bite was a celebration of Turkish cuisine. The tender lamb dishes were cooked to perfection, infused with just the right blend of herbs and spices to tantalize the taste buds. The fluffy rice pilaf and crisp, freshly baked bread provided the ideal accompaniments to the main courses, while the tangy yogurt-based sauces added a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. The baklava, with its layers of flaky pastry and sweet, nutty filling, was the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal. The warm hospitality and inviting ambiance of the restaurant only added to the overall delightful experience. If you're looking for a culinary journey through the flavors of Turkey, I highly recommend indulging in the delectable offerings of this restaurant. #AnatolianWithAttitude

A wonderful welcome, great service, delicious food. This is my second visit. Even though I didn't reserve a table, the manager did his best to host us well. I was very pleased, only the music was very tiring, I wish there were more naive songs. Despite that, I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you very much for everything.

The food is nice and delicious, the staff is friendly and friendly, our only negative impression is that the music is very loud, calmer music can be preferred. However, thank you to all the staff.

Nice food and atmosphere! Would recommend if you’re looking for a good meal.

Nice food but very loud music. It was nearly impossible to have a conversation.
