Urfa Ocakbasi Restaurant in Hackney

What a lovely amazing place, as for the staff they can’t do enough for you. Any reviews less than five, is people who life on KFC and McDonald’s and don’t know what real food and service is. Well done, see you very very soon ❤️

A truly Turkish reastaurant where you can have a full Turkish breakfast on Sunday mornings. Mezes are different vegetables, meat pizza etc etc. Delicious and the price is absolutely ok If you try it you never stop to go there. Perfect !The only thing is that is off path and not central. A pity ! To the next !

I’ve never had turkish food, and i’m glad that I was able to try it here. We tried a handful on the options on the menu and liked it all. My family and I were around the area when we stumbled upon this gem. Not only is the food delicious, but the service goes above and beyond. The servers are attentive, so you won’t have to worry about long waits & the food comes out in a timely manner. There was a specific gentleman that made our night even better! (I wasn’t able to catch his name but he was wearing a black NY Yankees hat) He was very friendly, checked up on our table throughout the evening, and even escorted us out upon our departure. To be honest, I’m visiting from Las Vegas and service in the UK (and all over EU) is so different compared to home. However, the staff here definitely reminded me that you can get the same great service in the UK. The actual set up of the restaurant is great. It’s fairly large, and extremely clean. The restroom was spacious, and even had a diaper changing table in there (this is definitely hard to find in the UK). Also; the restaurant itself is disable friendly, the entrance door is on a ramp, and there’s plenty of space to go around the place with a wheelchair. Plus, it’s only about a 7-10 minute walk from the nearest underground station.

The best Turkish food I have ever had! Amazing atmosphere and decoration . I would definitely recommend!

We were returning home in central London from visiting Wm Morris House in Walthamstow and passed thru Finsbury Park. I had read in the Evening Standard so many times about Turkish food in FP and that it was outstanding, Unfortunately, I had not retained any restaurant names, so we drove up and down the High Street with Trip Advisor on the mobile. AND quickly we found this restaurant which had excellent reviews overall and we agreed with reviews wholeheartedly after our meal. I did not know Turkish food and it was a very pleasant introduction to it. I highly recommend it as does my husband.

I love lamb and the lamb ribs here are amazing! The bread is also delicious especially when they roll the kebab over it! Love the salads here too. My favourite Turkish restaurant of all! Plentiful portions.

One of the best Turkish food in London well cooked, service as expected. Reasonable price. Definitely will go back with friends and family. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is a very good place to meet up with friends as we did, the food is very well presented and the staff are present but not in your face, we spent all evening here and were never intimidated to leave even though we were the last to leave. The size of the portions were very generous and were offered complementary dishes added to our own choices. We were in a group of 6 but a single person or couple would still enjoy themselves. One of the better restaurants in the area...

We arrived still for a nice brunch with friends. Mostly turkish style food, but tasty and a lot of vegetables. Drinks and sweets. All eat as you like. Friendly staff. For the turkish food lovers a must ! To the next!

We arrived early in the morning and for the first dinner we picked this Turkish restaurant. What way to start our visit to London. Excellent food for a very good price. We had vegetarian musakka, Turkish pizza, followed with lamb and chicken shish, and humus. Everything was really tasteful. The portion sizes were good enough for one person, but we share all dishes. Excellent, don’t miss it if you are in this side of the town.

Amazing service, we felt like royaly, the staff are amazing, so attentive & genuinly caring, nothing was too much trouble, it really seems to matter to them if you are enjoying your food, the food tastes great, so much choice. The whole vibe of the place is light & airy, clean & fresh & a good layout, with a welcoming atmosphere, we will definitely be returning!

Seriously gone downhill! Use to he my best place to eat with my parents coming from urfa.the Meze chef needs to go back to school and learn how to make the meze, it was rubbish old and cacik had gone sour. Meat was nice but the rice was old and cold. Service wasnt great by the waiter.

Not really good,despite the appearance!Staff is nice and friendly,but portions are not as tasty and plentiful as in many other Turkish restaurants in the area

Having ordered from this restaurant multiple times before though Uber eats, I have lost all respect for the manager of this store. The uber driver cancelled the order at which point I reordered and the restaurant rang me to confirm. The order was once again cancelled and the manager rang me again to ask if I wanted to order over the phone and pay their own driver directly. I said yes that's fine, please send the driver. 15 minutes later, I rang to check the status of the order at which point he told me the driver has already finished for the night. He then told me I cancelled the order. My wife decided to try and reason with the manager to find an amicable solution, at which point he decided to speak over her and patronise her over the phone whilst accusing me of lying (even though the entire conversation was had right next to her). It's safe to say we won't be ordering with them again. Terrible customer service.

The warm and friendly reception here is genuine and familial rather than the simply efficient or obsequious that is the case in some places.The efficiency and attentiveness here is just a natural part of putting people at their ease. These people seem to get a kick out of seeing guests enjoy their restaurant. Not always a given when eating as a large group, but so much so that we have now been twice. The food is very tasty and varied even for a set meal. Good vegetarian selection. I would like to try their a la carte next time! Thanks, all of you, for helping us to have a great evening. Martyn
