Most Disliked
Some diners note that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, leading to longer wait times for food. While many appreciate the lively atmosphere, it may feel a bit cramped during these times, making it less ideal for those seeking a quiet dining experience. A few reviews mention that certain dishes could use more seasoning, although this can be subjective depending on individual taste preferences. Lastly, parking can be challenging during prime hours, so planning ahead is essential.

Amazing food. My family and I love this place. So fresh and authentic. The meal starts off with complimentary meze which is delicious! I always get the Beyti when i come here- it’s the best i’ve ever had! Very friendly staff who gave us a rice pudding on the house. Can’t wait to be back

Celebrated my birthday here and straight off the bat we were pleased with the interior. Feels luxurious! The food was all cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature and timing. Ferhat served us and was consistently attentive to our table, making sure we were fine. He even offered us free Turkish desserts and tea! Generous and kind of him to suggest. Another man, who seemed to be the manager was as attentive as him and visited our table twice. It’s very rare to get a service as such. I will definitely come back to this lovely restaurant and for sure recommend it to friends!!

I looked online to find the best Turkish food in London and concluded that this might be it. I was right! So worth traveling from South London for. SARMA VEGGIE BEYTI Fried vegetables wrapped in lavash bread with cheese, grilled over charcoal, topped with special tomato sauce with finely burned butter & yoghurt This is best vegetarian dish I've tasted in years. YOĞURTLU ADANA Grilled lean, tender minced lamb, skewered chopped on a bed of cube cut bread, topped with special tomato sauce, strained yogurt & finely burned butter sauce The burnt butter in this was wild! It felt like I was eating Michelin star food. The staff were lovely. Efes draft was great. It's expanding soon. Fantastic. 2025 update - This place is still superb. It's my favourite restaurant in London.
