Ziyafet Restaurant in Enfield

Food well cooked and plentiful Service excellent and welcoming Prices very reasonable Rice Pudding(Suclac) to die for better atmosphere than other Turkish Restaurants in the area and family friendly name has now changed to Ada

I don't use the word 'perfection' very often but a Mixed Grill of quality meat, well marinade and seasoned and then precisely cooked over glowing coals takes a bit of beating! Freshly cut salads and a mini meze medley of starters added to the pleasure. So, all in all an excellent lunch. The service was friendly and efficient and the bill was reasonable. I will be back and have put them in my address book!

We visited on the recommendation of a friend. On the plus side - the food was great and the prices very reasonable. Busy and the food was fresh. Staff were friendly too. On the negative side, the seating is somewhat cramped. Once you sit down, you can't get out very easily at all. And you have to ask the waiters at least twice for everything. Poor parking in the area. Overall, very good though - lovely food makes up for it all!

We found this restaurant by accident, whilst looking for a similar turkish overrated restaurant nearby. It turned out to be quite an amazing experience!! Food was fantastic, our 6year old fussy eater enjoyed every last bite!! We ordered the Ziyafet mixed grill and it was massive. The free starters and gorgeous salad in the beginning really set the scene. The service was brilliant. I dont usually write reviews on restaurants but felt compelled to today after having a really good meal which didnt even cost much, paid £27 for a slap up meal for two adults and one child and have enough food leftover for next day;s lunch (which they packed up beautifully!) Good restaurant for families with kids as it is spacious for pushchairs and they give kids free lollipops. The meal was topped off with free turkish tea and complimentary baklava sweets. Will definitely be returning!!

We came across this restaurant by accident as we were heading for a particularly good Indian restaurant that we had seen before. It wasn’t there but had been replaced by Ziyafet. In Turkish that means feast, or lavish meal, or banquet. We didn’t try the last option but we did try the first two! We were astounded. The first revelation was that the complementary starters that you receive while your first course is being prepared. Normally, in other Turkish or Greek restaurants, we get tired platelets of boring stuff which has quite often come out from a can. Not here! There were dishes of minced peppers, their own hummus and their own yoghurt and cucumber dish. When the actual paid for starters arrived we were impressed by both aubergine dishes: Patlican Salata (Aubergine salad and Imam Bayildi (stuffed aubergine). Aubergines are a key feature in Turkish cookery but they did surpass themselves here. The accompanying salad was full of rocket: not an iceberg leaf in sight! And the bread was freshly grilled, too. Mains consist mainly of grilled meat, fish and poultry served with rice and salad. The kofte were particularly artfully done and all of the meats were tender without being overcooked There are other dishes involving chops(baby beef) liver, and lamb ribs and there is a daily range of stews made on a cook chill basis I couldn’t find a website though there is an identically named restaurant in Eltham in London SE9. This restaurant’s address is 229-231 Fore Street, Edmonton N182TZ and their phone is 0208 807 9821. There is parking outside in the street and they are only two or three hundred yards or so off the North Circular road. Those of you who frequent the Turkish restaurants of Green Lanes in Harringay will love this. Those who haven’t, now’s the time to start! 0208 807 9821
