Umut 2000 in Haringey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down, the best Turkish kebab in London! I traveled all the way from central London just to experience it, and it was absolutely worth it. The kebabs were cooked to perfection—juicy, full of flavor, and served with the freshest sides. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine, this place is number one in London! Can’t wait to come back!

Staff is amazing, I’m an uber delivery driver and went to the restaurant for picking up an order they offered me for turkish tea such a kindness

Quite busy but cozy, very frenetic and easygoing staff. They're super quick...but they tend you to leave once you're finish. All dishes are served with salad and delicious bread.

It's a really good taste, definitely among the best in the region. Top Notch -Ciger -Cop Sis -Kaburga

Delicious food and friendly staff

Perfect place for turkish cusine ,you should try definitely ribs ,lamb river and aubergine salad .Definitely better than near other turkish restaurants

A wonderful welcome and friendly staff ☺️ I can't say enough about the food. Especially the ribs were very good. I will come again and again

Every thing was delicious, definitely we will come back again ❤️❤️❤️

Everything is absolutely perfect 👍

I ordered to pick up but when i did pick I saw the atmosphere is nice. The food was good, it was mix lamb and kofte wrap in their own baked wrap/bread. With salad. I liked the flavours and all. Only the bread is too thick for me and becomes chewy in the mouth so i hadcto remove parts of it.

You have to experience this place, the meat, kebabs and chicken are at a very high level. I cannot describe the warmth of the staff. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Oktay, Kemal and Ercan for their interest. Hoping to see you again soon..!

Server behaving strangely and rude, Portion was small and dry, and expensive, there are much much better places nearby

Terrible service not worth to pay any money there Chefs acting silly 👨🏻‍🦲

Amazing food, wonderfully good service.

Was Recommended the UMUT2000 by one of my friends and was throughly impressed Quick service and friendly and the hot flat bread with the side plates fantastic the chicken shish super tasty and clean chicken beyetti and lamb was superb also try the onions in the beetroot or pomegranate purple sauce was lovely too would recommend to anyone especially those going to watch the football

Food was okay. Portions are generous for sure, but comparable to other restaurants in the area and further along in wood green, nothing to write home about. We felt rushed as it was a Friday night and we had booked a table. As soon as we were done we weren't offered dessert as an option, they asked for the table back to fit more custom in which we felt was a bit rude.

It’s been one of my favourite Turkish since 2000. Get the mixed Adana, lamb shish Dürüm 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Delicious delicious delicious. And super attentive staff who kindly held my baby so I could eat. Most succulent chicken Shish!

I use this place about once a month. If it were closer to my house, I would come often. They use high-quality meat every time and it’s delicious. I will continue to visit this place

Prices are absurdly expensive compared to other Turkish venues

Best Turkish restaurant in London , food is exquisite and the service is amazing !!! We’ll be back !!!

I went and tried this restaurant, price is very hig compared to other Turkish paces. Also menu is is worse than other ones. I am attaching same menu with other cool places. See the other cool places' price and here and compare it. Same menu is in other place £38. In here £55. Even that places are in center of London. Dolston and Shoreditch. Here is Harringay 😅

Prices are very expensive. Portions are small compared to other places. I won't go again.

The food here is overpriced compared to other restaurants offering the same menu. For instance, a mixed kebab for two costs £55 here, while a better restaurant in Dalston, which is closer to central London, charges only £36. Not only is it more affordable there, but the portions also include more meat. So my review is 👎👎👎

Menu is very expensive compared to other similar places. Even quality is worse than these places.

if you want a experience proper original kebap this is the place extremely recommended place

Umut 2000 food very delicious and staff lovely as well. Will be back soon. Highly recommend x

best Turkish barbecue kebab in town delicious tasty

Delicious flavors, beautiful people

Last year I gave a great rating, but this year 12/10/24 I am very disappointed, it's my sons 30th birthday, upon arrival they said no table was available after he had booked, however they laid a table, some food we requested was not available, eventually we accepted and carried on the evening, but the last straw no turkish tea!! The question why? We have none. Time to pay the bill. No payment machine, cash only!! Hello 15 people wish to share the bill. Above all no turkish tea, all turkish restaurants ask if you would like tea before you leave. Sorry you have really let us down even though you offered us a discount for next time. Don't think so!! Good luck with your future business.

Everything.is.very.good.with.taste.food.services.beautiful.environment.

Best taste of authentic and real kebab in London. The owners known to the community in London for many years for making best kebabs. I highly recommended compared to any other big industrial type of kebab restaurants on Green Lanes. They never let us down with the taste and service for many years. Thank You Umut 2000

Best lamb liver you can have but be carefull with the spice. It is realllyyy spicy!!

I visit here quite often, I usually go for grilled liver wrap and cop shish wrap they’re very tasty especially their grilled spicy pepper, it can be very spicy but i must say it goes well inside the wrap. Lamb ribs are also juicy and tasty.

GENUINELY THE MOST FLAVOURFUL FOOD IVE EVER HAD. THE BREAD IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. You will be so unbelievably full when you leave and for an incredibly reasonable price. EAT HERE OR YOU WILL LIVE AN UNFULFILLED LIFE.

An amazing place that makes me feel like I'm in Turkey. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everything was delicious, especially the liver, which I usually can't eat, but here I devoured it. As a Turk, I can say it's even better than most places I've eaten at in Turkey. Highly recommend! A perfect place that makes me feel like I'm in Turkey. The staff of the place are very friendly and sincere people. Everything was delicious. Especially as someone who has never been able to eat liver, I cannot explain how much I ate and swallowed the liver here. I highly recommend!

Genuinely the best Turkish restaurant in London! Totally blown away by how amazing

Most delicious kebab, best service, best restaurant in London

Beware they say rice on the menu, it is not rice, its Bulgar Wheat, I'm not sure why this is advertised completely wrong. For someone with a gluten intolerance this was a problem. Also the wine really is undrinkable. The meat and dips are very good though hence the two stars.

Best food in London friendly & smilling service

Best Ocakbaşı in London recommended by Turkish people Our favourite dishes are lamb liver and lamb ribs Mezes also very nice 👍🏻

Very busy authentic experience with very good quality meat.

Turkish temple of embers and lamb. This is Ocakbasi done right. Good ingredients touched by fire and smoke, everything fresh and simple. The salads and bread smothered in grilled meat drippings alone are enough to merit taking the trip here. It would be a crime to visit without ordering the lamb ribs, packed with so much flavour that it feels like some sort of wizardry. If the grill weren't visible from my table i would have believed it was magic!

Excellent quality food, absolutely buzzing atmosphere (although it was Iftar on night before Id al fitr) and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend

I have been there multiple times now, the quality of the food is splendid, the staff are so kind even when it’s so busy and they work under pressure. Thanks a lot.

Nice food, albeit a bit pricey for what it was. The service was quite bad- our waiter was moody, wiped the table crumbs onto my lap and didn't tell us he only accepted cash until the end of the meal... Won't be returning sadly

it's recommended. The main store is in Dalston, but this store is closer, so I've been going here lately. Try ordering the Lamb ribs. Comes with salad and rice. The image of rum will completely change. Corkage will be charged, but you can bring your own wine.

Lovely place! The food servings are generous and very tasty! Customer service is excellent :) Would definitely come again!

Very tasty food, good portions and reasonable prices. Sonuc’s service was great. Will 100% come :)

The employees are very friendly, the food is great.

Superb welcome, service and food. I asked a Turkish neighbour to recommend his favourite local restaurant & he said Umut. It was absolutely delicious & I can't wait to go again asap!

I’ve been here for a few times, They always provide good service and serve delicious food. Proper kebab. Very satisfied😄👍

Great Turkish food, definitely recommended.

The exact Ocakbaşı kebab place you can find in Adana, Antep and Urfa. Kebabs were very nice. Especially the best Adana Kebab I have eaten in London. The employees are friendly and professional. Good job. Bravo

The best kebab place in Harringay

Best Turkish mean I have ever had. All the food was perfectly cooked and very tasty.

Umut 2000 with the Ocakbasi (charcoal grill) glowing away at the front of the restaurant and the chefs busy rotating the kebabs provides good theatre. Mains come with a bowl of çoban salad, salad, onion salad, roasted onions in pomegranate plus humus and cacik! That's a good meal in itself when mopped up with warm flat bread soaked with kebab juice. Kebabs are made fresh to order and arrive tender and tasty. The staff are friendly and informal. With such an expansion of places to eat in Green Lanes, Umut retains its individuality and high standards. Those in the know rate this place as the best in Harringay for grilled kebabs and chops.

one of best kebab shop in green lanes fresh meat whenever you put in your mouth you don't need to chewing it lot its so nice food thanks

Great selection and all freshly made. Large portions

Ordered the lamb chops, which was so tasty succulent and juicy. Their bread is so flavoursome also, could eat just the bread with salad!, Service was 10 out 10

The lamb chops were meaty, flavourful, smoky, crispy all at once - so good you’ll nibble them right down to the bone. Try the quail too. Thank you for an amazing meal!

I will now share my great regret. Then I will continue my review of this restaurant. I'm at a restaurant in north London. I didn't go to Umut 2000 Ocakbaşı Haringay restaurant because I was a little lazy. I am extremely sorry. But from now on I will never be lazy. I have eaten at many restaurants that serve Turkish food, but now someone has to say this. Stop using that spicy salt that you use for grilling and that makes every grilled dish the same. This spice has nothing to do with Turkish cuisine. And also, the salt it leaves in your throat and burns your nasal passages also ruins the meat you eat. I ate all over Turkey, even in the villages. I don't know who suggested such a terrible spice to restaurants, but if you go to Turkey, you will see that the dishes you eat have nothing to do with the real ones. Umut 2000 Ocakbaşı does not do this. Even though Umut 2000 Ocakbaşı is not exactly the taste I was looking for, they have the best presentation and food in London. And also the prices are extremely reasonable. I congratulate the whole team. I will never eat kebab anywhere else again. I apologize to you too, Umut2000 Ocakbaşı, for my laziness. See you again soon.

Visited Umut2000 with a few friends and got a variety of starters and mains. This place is a hidden gem. The lamb chops are probably the best I’ve had in London in terms of portion size, quality and flavour. The staff are also very welcoming and also received a few additional houmous plates on the house. Definitely be back here.

Number one restaurant in green lanes and I’ve nearly tried all of them

The taste and service were great, we came to the branch located in the harringay area, as always, incredibly tasty and we were satisfied thanks to the interested staff, thanks for everything

The best Turkish food I have tried in Green Lanes. It stands out from the rest.

I looooove Umut! It is my go to Turkish restaurant, I get the same thing every time and I’m never disappointed! I get the grilled chicken and bulgur rice (would highly recommend) and the pricing is pretty reasonable,T he atmosphere is so comfortable and cozy, and the staff can not do more for you, the toilets are clean, il not eat at any other Turkish restaurant. The only downside is, I love my Turkish tea, and I hate to constantly have to call the waiter over for more tea, what would be ideal (for me anyway) would be to have a small tea pot at my table to fill up when I’m low on tea. That being said, I have never had a bad experience at Umut and I would suggest this place to anyone who asks me for a decent Turkish restaurant

The food is amazing always tasty love the wraps big portion and tasty all the time.

Delicious-especially the lamb ribs.

Best ocakbasi kebab in London. The adana wrap kebab was very succulent and tender. Each bite and mouthful was full of flavour and juice. I love this place

Delicious! Umut never disappoints

This food was yummy … I eat in here too

I have complained that food was swimming in salad juice because of the way driver was carrying it I haven’t heard nothing back yet

Great chicken shish and salad. A little disappointed that it was delivered without any cacik or sauces. Delicious hallumi but pricey at £8 for 5 pieces of cheese and a little salad. The chicken shish was supposed to come with rice but came with bulgar instead, which was a bit of a let down. A shame as the quality of the food was very good.

The patlican Soslu was priced at £17…what turned up looked like a side dish. The Lamb Beyti ordered beside it was at £18 and worthy of that price. I was rather unhappy with the pricing of this vegetarian dish based on what was served.

We ordered a big platter for 2. It had a little bit of everything, the best was the humus and the lebnah soooo good that sauce they put on top of it has to be one of the most creatures things I have tried in a long time! You must try!

Great tasting food, and healthy to boot! Best driver as well.

Great food and recommended so many people here. Has very authentic flavours and very cosy.

Maalesef son gittiğimde ciğerler çok kuru kuşbaşılar lezzetsizdi,salata ve servis bu defa çok kötüydü

Su comida es excelente es muestro restauran favorito éxitos chicos

The most delicious kebab I have ever eaten in London. Especially the liver and ribs were truly legendary! We tried all the appetizers, all of them were really delicious. Staff and Ercan Bey are also very hospitable and friendly. Delicious food and nice conversation of these nice people made us very happy. I strongly recommend it to everyone. See you again..Stay with love!.

amazing lamb ribs and very friendly staff and owner.

Pleasant place at the far end of the Green Lanes strip. Food is plentiful and good (some is great!). Service is friendly. It’s quieter than most of the other places in Green Lanes but that can make it nicer too. You’re certainly never rushed away!

Unpretentious but great food, friendly people, good music and generous portions. One of the best spots in Green Lanes. Recommended!

Michellin of Haringey. Mouth watering ribs, delicious starters and the thin crispy bread pressed against the cooking meats flavouring it with the marinade... Forget the other dazzling decor and over priced menus. Umut 2000 is the gem.

İdare eder. 2 kişilik menu soyledik icindeki pilavi azdi. Kanatlar desen kucucuk. İcindeki pirzola gibi etler neyse artik kucuktu. Bence biraz daha dikkat etmeliler. Ekmek bitti ekmek istiyorsun sacma garsonun takip etmesi gerekiyor. Umarim daha iyi olur. Lezzet kalitesi guzel ama malzemeden kismamak lazim. Mesela raki soyluyorsun su ister misin diye soruyorlar bu da buranin modasi sanirim. Getirdigi su da 500 ml :) raki icen adama su sorulmaz ki ;) neyse umarim daha iyi bir mekan olur.

Absolutely delicious lamb & chicken shish kebab served in generous-sized portions. The flatbread is outstanding. I actually ordered something else so they kindly honoured the price

Top kebab from the chaps. No sauces, just letting the meat speak for itself. Really nice chatty service, excellent char, a diversion well worth the effort. Needs to be busier. A damn fine late night meal

The food is fantastic - tasting so fresh, Dragan at and delicious! The only thing that could make it better is the price. I would love to order this more often but given the price it’s not possible.

Very good service and good quality food

Haringey de kebab yemek icin en ideal mekan tesekkurler Boci Kemal

Very good service very good kebap I really recommend the place

If there was an option to give no stars I would. Absolutely shambolic. Ordered 2 wraps and a mix chicken container that came to 40 pounds when the driver arrived (no way near what i paid previous times) and the food was wrong it came really cold and flavourless. Literally the salad in the wrap had more flavour than the meat itself. Definitely avoid theres so many places in Haringey, you don’t need this dry food trust me guys. Go somewhere else!

Lovely food, friendly staff. I had takeaway, but would be a pleasant place to eat-in.

Best kebab and the best service, the owner and staff look after you.

Food is delicious, staff is helpful and smiling. Also, you can have some entertaining conversations with the chef if you're interested in Turkish football :)

Food never disappoints. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Great food, extremely poor service. Slow and not great with communications.
