Tas Firin Restaurant in Tower Hamlets

Very good Turkish food at reasonable prices located just outside of the city of London

Aynur was so sweet and wonderful a server.

Amazing service from Onur and Ibrahim who has made my work colleagues night out exceptional. Recommend the Chicken Alaturka , garlic prawns , prawn tava and Adana. we got turkish tea and fresh baklava to end the night after the best Efes draft drinks!

It was bang in from chef special dis … Highly recommended good service good place lovely.

Delicious and plentiful food. Lovely service.

Absolutely delicious. The green beans and tava veggie mains were banging. Delicious rice, bread, salad, hummus and world's best baklava

Varied meze, salad and main courses. All delicious. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere.

The food was great especially the Adana👏

I only went for a take away but I will be back, the team was friendly, the food tasty and the portion very generous. Great price value 🙌🏽

I definitely recommend it. Clean, delicious,

Nous avons dîné à deux reprises en famille dans ce restaurant, nous avons eu un merveilleux accueil, la nourriture est particulièrement délicieuse et variée nous le recommandons fortement

Always great food, friendly service 👍

Delicious food, smiling staff and a lot of ikram😂 😋

Amazing food and great experience. Reasonable price too. Highly reccomend and we will definitely come back. 10/10 We didn’t take pictures of the main, but it was equally as delicious and pretty.

Leaving a review for Duygu for being such an excellent host, very friendly and always made sure me and my friend was accounted to. Awesome experience thank you, the food was also amazing. Will definitely be seeing me again

Went to this delicious Turkish restaurant very much family run, food was amazing, service spectacular and it was lovely to see the closeness of the family running it. Everything was done with love!

Hearty flavors and a warm welcome await at this Tas Firin. The grilled meats were succulent, and the meze offered a delightful variety. A satisfying taste of Anatolian in London!

Always fresh food, service is very good, staff is very helpful. I recommend to everyone

Amazing little place, first time eating out at a Turkish restaurant and would definitely go back!. The people working there couldn't do enough and were very friendly and welcoming. If your in the area I would give this restaurant a go

I’ve been to Tas Firin several times before the renovation, so I was excited to visit again a few nights ago with some friends. Unfortunately, this time around, we were all pretty disappointed. The lamb chops were extremely dry and lacked flavour, we actually had to send them back to be recooked. I had the Iskender, which was decent, but definitely not the best I’ve had. The restaurant itself is quite small, and the night we visited, it was absolutely freezing outside. We assumed it would be warm inside, but we were wrong. We were seated near the windows, and to make things worse, the front door wouldn’t stay closed, it kept blowing open with the wind, making our dining experience uncomfortable. The highlight of the night was definitely the chicken wings, they were well cooked and full of flavour. I really enjoyed those. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, and we found the food to be on the pricey side.

Nice place, delicious Turkish food, good service

I had a fantastic experience at Taş Fırın Turkish Restaurant - Shoreditch in London! The restaurant is well-organised, clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The service was excellent—staff were quick, efficient, and very attentive. I ordered the lamb, and I was truly impressed with the quality of the dish. The portion was generous, the meat was tender and full of flavour, perfectly seasoned. The sides complemented the meal wonderfully. One of the standout aspects was the speed of service, which was impressively quick without compromising the quality of the food. If you're in London and looking for authentic Turkish cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll certainly be returning to try more dishes from the menu!

Authentic Turkish food, great taste and quality. Good service aswell.

Great service and food. Went again recently following their refurbishment for iftar. Still a great local restaurant serving good tasting food at a reasonable price. Service is great as always.

This small restaurant feels quite cramped, and the heating was poor, making it uncomfortable. Service was slow—salad came quickly, but bread took too long. We had to ask several times for more chili sauce, and the soup, which was supposed to arrive quickly, was late. Food-wise: • Liver Shish – Surprisingly tasty. • Lamb Chop – Dry, chewy,and lacking flavour . Chicken wings - well cooked very tasty • Iskender – Good but not amazing. Overall, the food had some positives, but the slow service and cold setting made the experience less enjoyable.

Tas Fırın has a great atmosphere and excellent staff who make the dining experience pleasant. The fresh bread, salad, and pickles were a nice touch, and the Iskender and lamb liver were of good quality. However, the lamb chops—typically my go-to dish at any Turkish restaurant—were a huge letdown. This was the worst I’ve ever had, which is something I don’t say lightly. The meat was extremely dry, lacked flavour, and seemed to be of poor quality. Given that it’s the most expensive dish on the menu, I expected much better. Unfortunately, it left me very disappointed. Would I return? Possibly—but definitely not for the lamb chops

Food and antmosphere was amazing! exceptional service by mehmet & gunde for a table for 15!

We were looking for a restaurant but we found a home.

Really enjoyed relaxed lunch here today (Sunday). Friendly welcome, delicious food with generous portions, tasty Efes beer, and excellent service. Thank you, Tas Firin 🙏

Taş Fırın Turkish Restaurant in Shoreditch had some hits and misses. The tomato soup was warm and comforting, though a bit on the bland side—it could have used more depth of flavour. The falafel, on the other hand, had a lovely crunch but was slightly too dry inside. The mixed salad was fresh and colourful, but nothing particularly stood out. While the meal was decent overall, it lacked the bold flavours I was expecting from a Turkish restaurant.

Amazing food and friendly service. Loved the lahmacun! The kebab was also delicious. Will certainly return.

Service is amazing. We had a guide dog and the staff not only welcomed us but were so accommodating. My friend felt welcomed unlike many places where she feels a she is a liability. We dined in comfort. The food is superb. Credit to all the cooks and chefs, everything is cooked to perfection. The prawns were just divine. Plump, tasty and juicy. Meats are all cooked to perfection. Not dry, full of flavour and tender. Sucuk is hit and miss due to it being over cooked, however, once again, these were cooked to perfection. Juicy. Highlight has to the homemade baklava. These were simply incredible. No doubt we will be returning and since our experience many of our team have ordered take away.

Super friendly place. They give you SO much food to start before you even place your order! Food was fast, fresh, delicious and at a great price point with massive portion sizes. Would absolutely recommend

Esto no solo tenía algunos de los mejores alimentos turcos que he probado, que he tenido un montón de pero tenía un excelente servicio al cliente y el propietario incluso le dio a mi hijo una lección de truco de magia nos dio un montón de cosas gratis, como un pudín de arroz turco de té gratuito y delicia turca, este es uno de los mejores lugares en los que he estado todo el año y sordamente lo recomendaría, por eso tiene un cinco de cinco para mí

Had to update 2025. Haven't been here for years. Used to be 100% best Turkish in Tower Hamlets for sure but can't give 5 star because Haven't ate from there in ages so have to be honest. If I do I will update Had to update because of my past experience and they was on point and couldn't give 1 star. That is unfair

This is a amazing little shop with amazing food. Even the basic stuff on the menu are delicious. All the food they do have an amazing taste because it is cooked in a clay oven. If you like Turkish food this place is a MUST!!!!

The best Turkish food I've ever had

We went to dinner with my partner, we loved it, super friendly, and the food was very very delicious. They also brought us a salad and a kind of pizza pancakes with two separate sauces, very good and free of charge, we would repeat!

We arrived at 6.30pm on the middle Christmas Saturday. We received an amazing welcome, we were a group of 2 adults and 3 children under 10. The service was great, very kind, thoughtful and helpful to my son's. The boys loved watching our for cooking on the charcoal grill. The starters and main course were exceptional, with a truly authentic taste of Istanbul. Dessert and Turkish delight were complimentary, and a nice surprise. This place and the fantastic staff never fail to deliver, still going after 20 years. Thank you! ❤️

Best Adana wrap in town! Nice restaurant and good food whenever I am local I always try and sit in or grab a takeaway if in a rush which I call ahead, the staff are very friendly aswell and always ask how you are :-)

Visiting from Seattle and had an absolutely wonderful dinner here. Appetizers and mains were top notch and the warm baklava and tea at the end of the meal are not to be missed.

Very tasty and clean food. When in Turkey it is very difficult to find this tasty food.

Gran lugar para comer. Pan caliente sazonado, ensalada y dips proporcionados de forma gratuita. El personal era genial, todo muy amable y servicial. La carne estaba bien condimentada y cocinada a la perfección - mis dos amigos pidieron chuletas de cordero y yo tuve una sabrosa moussaka. Terminamos nuestras comidas con té de jengibre y limón (delicioso! ) El restaurante es compacto y las mesas bastante apretadas, pero no se sentía apretado. Definitivamente volveré

The food was amazing.We really enjoyed it.

Perfect! What a pleasant surprise. One of those places you could so easily walk past and not notice but I can’t recommend it enough. Friendly and welcoming staff, exceptional food, and a warm and homely atmosphere. We went to one of the fancy small plate restaurants around the corner and left feeling unsatisfied so looked for something late night and came across Tas Firin. Can’t recommend it enough, every dish we had was excellent and will definitely be back! Get the hummus and shredded lamb!

Vine aquí con un grupo de colegas de trabajo. La comida era abundante y recién cocinado. Pan y ensalada estaba delicioso. El servicio fue educado y el camarero fue muy paciente con nosotros. Encantador ambiente cálido y agradable. Precio razonable

The flavors and the service were both very good. After the meal, they served tea, Turkish delight and baklava. thank you

One of my favorite Turkish restaurants in London. Delicious food, fast service, and great value. Employees are always so nice, and receive you with a smile.

Muy buena comida! Lo disfruté todo. Ordenó el plato de compartir 2. Sabor increíble. La comida y las bebidas eran buenas, el servicio al cliente también era muy bueno.

Update 16/8/2024 First visit again since the refurbishment. Food is just as tasty and good service too. A reliable staple and my favourite Turkish in the area by far. Good value and generous portions. Complimentary salad, bread & dips. I’ve been coming here for a decade and a half and never had a bad meal. The mixed grill & lamb ribs are two of my favourites.

Had a great dinner here with exceptionally warm and welcoming service from the staff. The food was excellent. One of the best Turkish restaurants in the area! We had: Hummus and pita bread Chicken wings Chicken and lamb shish

Yemek öncesi atıştırmalıkları yetersiz, gelen etler aşırı yağlı. Türkiye’den gelip Türk restoranından böyle yemeği yiyemeden kalkmak üzdü

The food is incredible, and the staff is so warm and welcoming! The atmosphere is wonderfully cozy.

Very very tasty food! It was by far the best meal we had in London. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The greeting from the kitchen was very tasty and was not charged. The other dishes were also very well seasoned and fried to perfection. We will definitely come back on our next trip to London.

Exquisite! The best Turkish I've ever tried. The wrap is not filled with the typical rolled meat, it is grilled and is much tastier. The menu is very varied and the price is normal. The attention is very good. We spent 3 days in London and two of them we ate there, one day to take away and the other day in the premises. Highly recommended!

I cannot say how much we enjoyed this place. They were so accommodating to our group of 6 adults and two children (one big buggy) They were very kind and helpful. Portions were big. And the food was delicious. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so so much. We hope to be back again. Service with a smile which is unheard of nowadays. We didn’t feel rushed. Just perfect

We only passed by for a drink but we will definitely come back for dinner. The atmosphere is great and the staff is extraordinarily welcoming. We even got offered a desert appetiser!

Fantastic food, great service, highly recommend.

If we could give it more than 5 stars we would! Amazing hospitality food and service. Will be going back immediately.

After many years away abroad, we return again😊 Absolutely fantastic food and service 💙 This is 100% the best Turkish dining experience on the planet 🙏🏼🍷

The food was very delicious. The employees are friendly and polite.

Best restaurant experience I have had in London!

Phenomenal exceptional service perfect

Really yummy turkish food, fantastic service, got complementary Turkish tea (so good) and scrumdididlyuptious baklava !! Recommend if craving Turkish

Delicious ! The prices are affordable, the servers are adorable and really attentive! The dishes arrive very quickly and are plentiful, enough to be full at the end but not too much which allows you to leave nothing behind, great restaurant!

Super service, great food, thank you for your efforts 👏👏👏👏

Best Turkish in London. Service is spot on. Food is class. Will be back again and again and again.

Tuvimos la oportunidad de este restaurante mientras estaba en Shoreditch y buscando un lugar para comer. Nos quedamos enormemente impresionados por la bienvenida amable, el ambiente familiar agradable y la excelente comida (amplia elección, porciones enormes y sabroso). Recomendado.

Fantastic food and cooked very well and the owner Jay and Ibrahim were very welcoming and was nice to have a good conversation at the end of our meal, I have been coming this place for years but has recently been refurbished and I am looking forward to already coming back! Thanks Mikki

Popped in for lunch. Nice service. Huge portions. Good price and good quality food and tea. I took some home for a second meal later on as the portions were large. Reccomend.

excellent traditional turkish food alongside very friendly staff and good size portions with very delicious mezes. higly recommended.

Very friendly and delicious food 🤤

One of the best turkish restaurant in London,Food was tremendously good,service is top class ,specially the girl's name Duygu was very helpfull with her services and helped us to choose the best options, Overall 10 out of 10,Thanks

Affordable yet very delicious. Staffs are attentive. When you want to have feasts, go here.

Foods good. Service is good. Platters are very exspensive for the small portions they give.

The best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the uk! I’m finding myself coming 2/3 times a week. Pray for my bank balance haha

Best Turkish restaurant in London

Walked in spontaneously and had an amazing meal. Everything was excellent and it was really clear the team was working hard and taking pride in what they do here. Also really nice sitting at the table next to the grill and seeing everything prepared freshly.

It's been some time since I haven't come back. I have to say I felt disappointed. The food went down in quality. I ordered a chicken shish and chicken and rice were OK, nothing special. One of my friends ordered moussaka and he found some cling film in it. We ordered some tap water also and came super hot. I asked for some ice but ice never arrived. I think service was a bit distracted . It's OK but nothing great as it used to be.

The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Iskinder and Lamichun with meze. Not only was the food amazing the service was good and staff were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again

This Turkish restaurant is really great. Food is fantastic, I really recommend Iskender Kebab as it tasted amazing. We’ve been here several times since they have reopened. The staff is also extremely nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Food is fresh. Since the refurbishment, they no longer have the pizza oven for turkish pide, which is the main reason for visiting. Still nice food and lots of seating.

Very friendly and amazing service

Love the ezme & Chicken couplet.

First time to this Turkish. Matter of factish welcome and though plenty empty tables, directed to seats with little room next to the beat of pots and pans in the kitchen. Not all the dishes arrived and an apology only offered when prompted. In fact if you were any nationality other than Turkish (treated like royalty) you were largely left to your own devices. No question of asking if everything was satisfactory or you needed anything. Food was passable if not a patch on any of the Green Lanes establishments.

It has been a very long year waiting for them to reopen, food quality has not changed 10/10. If you like turkish food has to be best spot in london. Recommend lamb ribs/chops…. Have been coming here for years.

Fantastic food and meze is amazing and reasonable price thanks for everything

Not sure what’s going on with Tas Firin. Mixed mezes have gone from £7 - £12 for a takeaway?! What used to be an affordable meal is now £50 for two. Oh, and they don’t take contactless which meant they missed out on over £120 of orders with no apology. Odd. Hopefully they get back on track because they are the best around. Such a shame. 2023 - now £14.50 for same mixed meze. Over double 2019 prices. Inflation gouging in action. 2024 - new management. £15.95. For a chicken shish. £15.95. For a chicken shish?! No thanks.

Very disappointed because we saw they had advertised an opening offer of 20% from Wednesday until Sunday. This was on their socials and on a banner outside. We went on Saturday for lunch with the intention of taking advantage of this offer. However, when were handed the bill without a discount, we questioned it. We were told that this offer had ended the day before. I didn't want to kick up a fuss in that moment, but we feel very let down by this and misled. There are definitely some Consumer laws against this!!

Most recommended turkish food. We ordered Lam Shish and Lam Tava both dishes are very testy

Back open and just as great as before. Has been missed while away!

restaurant was closed, please update your opening hours so you don’t waste people’s time

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious Turkish dishes, beautiful presentation, wide list of Turkish grills and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

Lahmacun looks bad. The quality is low in Turkey. I think the quality comes from Usta.

I can't say I didn't like the food, any Turkish food is good. But you can get even better kebab and lentil soup on Green Lanes. For the same (crazy) amount of money, it will be grilled better, it will be juicier and you'll get more salad. Here the pricing feels absolutely inadequate, considering that the same liver shish can be juicy or dry, depending on who's working today. I don't want to support this, even though it's the only decent Turkish place around.

Great. Haven't been for years, but still excellent food, friendly service

Amazing experience! If you want to taste the best lahmacun in town, you need to visit Tas Firin Restaurant. Shephard salad and the cold mezes are worth trying. Plus, the staff is so friendly. Huseyin was so welcoming and took good care of my table. Strongly recommend!!

Had a great meal and service by Hüseyin we will be back:) It is recommended for anyone coming through the area. Very welcoming staff and clear dietary information.

Came for a mate’s birthday, great experience. We really enjoyed the starter specially prepared by Ayse. The service was also fantastic, with Hüseyin making sure we had the best possible time by providing unlimited bread on the house. Would recommend

Huseyin offered us fantastic service and really made us feel at home. The food was very good - the starters especially (was Ayse who helped with the starters). We really enjoyed our meal here
