The best restaurants serving Turkish food in Church Street City of London, Westminster London

Our Favourite Restaurant Diyarbakir Sofrasi at 458 Edgware Rd, London W2 1EJ After a long break since COVID, I recently revisited a favourite local restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The new Head Chef, Mr. Riza, Manager Ms. Eva, and Head Baker Ms. Fidan form an exceptional team, whom I call the "Three Musketeers," for their honesty, sincerity, and warmth. As a vegetarian two days a week, I ordered lentil soup, and the staff thoughtfully informed me it might contain chicken stock. Chef Riza clarified it was only a chicken cube used for seasoning, which I appreciated for their transparency. This predominantly Turkish restaurant offers a fine-dining twist with Levantine influences, making each dish irresistible. Chef Riza’s mastery of the open pit grill, working with various kebabs and grilled dishes, feels like watching a kitchen soap opera unfold. Similarly, watching Ms. Fidan expertly bake bread in the oven is like witnessing an orchestra in motion. Both create an experience that feels like theatre, without the need for a ticket. The staff is highly trained, maintaining excellent service and efficiency. I now frequent the restaurant more often, eager to try their non-vegetarian dishes as well.
