Jeru

Blown away by the food here. Well crafted dishes with layers of flavour and texture. The ingredients were all fresh and bright and used to their best. Service was welcoming and helpful, if a little overbearing. Lovely date setting with good ambient music and beautiful smells from the kitchen.

Absolutely outstanding food and experience all around. Great attention to detail. Good Lebanese red wines. Clean, pleasant and beautiful atmosphere. Depending on where you're seated, you can watch the food preparation and work of the team - it's quite impressive. Great place for a romantic dinner.

Literally the best middle Eastern restaurant in London. The food was just mind-blowing, the starters were well thought, combination of different flavours that perfectly make sense. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The cocktails are also unique and amazing. Highly recommend to everyone who loves good food

best dining option in Mayfair! The most amazing Middle Eastern food with options for everyone. As a vegan who usually doesn’t have much variety to chose from, I was delighted to see so many options that I could share with other non-veg guests! Very well priced for Mayfair, which meant we got to try most of the menu ;) will be rushing back here , can’t wait to try some more of the cocktails!

We had a fantastic meal and evening at Jeru.  The food was absolutely superb topped off with excellent service.  We sat at the chefs table watching the mastery of various dishes being prepared.  Great conversation and engagement with the chefs and staff.  Highly recommended.

Everything on our menu is halal apart from our charcuterie. Please let your server know when you’re in venue and they will be able to advise further.

Koshari Street

Incredible flavors, simple decor, cozy interior

My only regret about this place is I wish they were bigger and had more space inside! The flavor & spice combinations are incredible and feel homey (having Egyptian & Lebanese family, this feels just like something they would've made for me)

It's a cute, cozy place, and you really can't go wrong with any of their options. I'd very gladly come again to try more of their options and can't wait for next time!

My first time trying this famous street food. Brilliant. Tastes amazing and the spicy tomato sauce adds a real punch. Very simple dish, will try to recreate at home. Limited seating inside restaurant. Pleasant service

I was walking along the street and I turned to look inside it because it had a Chipotle type vibe. Said eat like an Egyptian so I wanted to give it a try. Tried the plant power koshari and the classic koshari, and the woman working was incredibly helpful with the sauces and vege options! I will definitely return the ingredients were so fresh!

Absolutely delicious koshari— a must try if you haven’t had it before! I’ve had koshari in Cairo and homemade by my friend from Egypt. So glad to find Koshari Street so I can enjoy this in London!

We had two classic koshari then added chicken and beef each , the taste was similar to the original Egyptian dish except hot sauce that was missing ,

Il Bebo’s

We have halal food options from brunch menu and all our chicken and beef dishes from the main menu are halal.

Turkuoise - Traditional Turkish Cuisine

Very fresh and delicious food. Generous amount of grill and rice. Very pleased with their service. Would definitely buy again and recommend to everyone. I am so happy with price and got 20% discount for order and collection service. Best Turkish in the town.

We ordered a takeaway today and a big order for the family consisting of the jumbo platters. The food was fresh and made to perfection, could not fault anything! Plus everything we ordered was there and we did not have a missing item. It was generous portions and all the condiments! Junaid was very helpful and gave us excellent service.
Highly recommend the platters and the lamachuns. Sauces and bread are also lovely plus the salad!
Thank you for not letting us down

the food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the wait time was not very long for the food. An overall great experience!
The Baklava was soo good I couldn't stop talking about it, it was soft unlike most which are crunchy but I enjoyed it very much.

Just ordered a pick up with the wife’s request. First time trying it. Very pleased with the food and quality. Highly recommend 😋😋😋😋

I'm going to start off with a special mention to Erisa who went above and beyond to ensure our food came quickly and we received everything. Super attentive and professional, I would give her five stars alone. I ordered a family special and the quantity of the meat, also the accompaniments were just so nourish, naan bread was delicious too. They are all just perfectly cooked. Great experience and 100% would recommend it. Keep up the good work!!!!

We are HMC approved. This means our entire menu and supply-chain is certified Halal according to HMC standards. No traces of pork or alcohol in the store.

Turkuoise 

Lebanese and Middle Eastern restaurants in London and the UK. Our menu has healthy & fresh Lebanese food with great vegan/vegetarian options.

Comptoir Libanais Liverpool Street

Amazing place, can’t wait to come back soon!
The restaurant itself it’s beautiful, the food is amazing although a bit expensive in my opinion, but everything very fresh and full of flavour.
I recommend to try the pomegranate and orange lemonade, simply delicious and refreshing!
We ordered the mezzo platter for one and shared between 2, and was completely worthy.
The mains were delicious and next time I will be definitely leaving some space for deserts!

Loved the interiors, so beautiful, place was cosy and quiet.
Though on the day some dishes were out of stock, making our options limited being vegetarians.
Irrespective, we had good time.

The food was ok, not extraordinary. The service is really very slow, as it in office premises, no one would have that long to spend in. We had a meeting and we had to ask 3 times for mains. The tables are very close and small to accommodate everything.  We wanted to have baklava which was not available which was disappointing, they should strike it out in the menu if something is not available.

The decor is too good and gives a nice feeling. If they speed up service it will be great.

This place is a gem in the middle of a very busy area. Food and drinks are amazing, but what takes the crown is the service. Very friendly staff who will make you feel special and address all your requests.
The only reason I am giving this a 4 and not a 5 is that the ceiling was dripping (although) not much but still was somewhat a dampener (literally) on the evening.
Overall, very highly recommend.

Went there on a weekday evening after work! Ordered platter for each. Ambience was the only thing I really liked.
Food was okayish nothing special! Pricey for the kind of food served. Service was slow, had to wait for so long just to get the bill.

The meat in all of our restaurants comes from approved and certified halal suppliers. All our restaurants hold alcohol licenses.

Comptoir Libanais

Maoz

Fantastic service in a cozy little restaurant. Hummus and pita was very fresh. Large portions were satisfying. Wine from Chile paired well. Lamb and chicken were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend!

Cozy Lebanese restaurant in Soho. The service was good and we were able to move to a warmer spot as we had initially been sat next to the door which was quite cold. Our starters were delicious: falafel, Korean chicken wings, hummus, halloumi. I had wanted the Koubideh for my main but it was not available unfortunately so I went for the lamb cues which was a little dry. My sister ordered the lamb cutlets and I tried some and it was deliciously tender and tasty so I instantly regretted my choice of main. I would definitely go back to this restaurant. We were a big group with kids and they were patient and helpful.

Amazing food and service. I had the schnitzel in pita dish and absolutely loved it. The whole family also loved their dishes and the service was very very good, they greeted us with a friendly smile and made our experience there very pleasurable. If you are in the neighbourhood I would most definitely recommend this place! Below you can find two of the amazing dishes my family and I had (schnitzel in pita and schnitzel bowl).

It is always great when expectations are exceeded. We thought this would be a ‘pretty good’ cheap bite out. It was better than that. Much better. The chicken skewers were fantastic and the aubergine and grilled halloumi bowl wanted for nothing and the dips selection was well put together. Three of us ate with a bottle of red for £65. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely the place to go! Unpretentious atmosphere but classy food and drinks. The best lamb chops I’ve ever had, delicious falafel, scrumptious cauliflower and aubergine and salad dishes. Great value for the top quality food and service. Also had fabulous cocktails. All the staff were attentive and lovely. The highest recommendation! 🌟 🙏👍🏼😋🌟

The Broadway Meze Restaurant

First time dinning in here,  lovely restaurant.
Friendly staff that came to take our orders promptly.

The food came out fast and it taste nice. But it's quiet overpriced for this type of food - As I've had this food before in other areas and its alot less cost for the same type of food.

Other than that nice overall great service.

I'm generally not a big fan of Turkish restaurants, but this place has somewhat changed my mind in exploring a good quality meze. I went with an open mind and was surprised by the quality of service and the tasty food. We were a party of 6 and a hungry bunch so we went straight into the mains. We ordered various dishes from the menu and everyone on the table thoroughly enjoyed each one.

They have a nice selection of cocktails, beers, cider, wines and the usual soft drinks.

Price: I would say that the price of dishes is fairly priced given it's not your local meze and the quality of food is really good. Also with prices going up for everything these days it's not overly priced, although some may argue that.

Parking: if you are driving there is street parking available but please check before going if there are time restrictions on the road parkings. I believe there are pay and display spots around the restaurant as well.

Just one thing they couldnt do is make one if the dishes a bit more spicy.

I would highly recommend this place and supporting local business is a always good.

We saw this restaurant on line and in the area where we staying for a few days. Absolutely fantastic food which shouldn’t be missed. Staff friendly but not pushy food cooked to perfection. Don’t miss out on this place would recommend to anyone. We will certainly be back

Excellent food, excellent service. Our first time here and will definitely be re-visiting. Staff are so so lovely! Had a great time, was also a very nice atmosphere for a Tuesday night

Amazing food as always. I took my family to the Broadway Meze restaurant before and every time the food was delicious and the prices fair in my opinion. Also, the staff is always friendly and kind. Always a great spot to enjoy delicious food.

Turkish restaurants are always great places for a family meal or a meal for a large group of people, and Gokyuzu has got to be one of the bests.

Food: Since there was four of us, we ordered the (you guessed it!) Full Platter. The platter consists of Lamb Shish, Chicken Shish, Adana Kebab, Lamb Ribs and Chicken Wings, with a side of Rice and Bulger. Can’t really complain, the meats are always cooked well and the bulger is amazing. The rice also tastes really good when you have it with the meat.
Service: The food is always brought out quickly so there’s never a wait!

Visited Gokyuzu a while back for a well needed munch and this place did NOT disappoint 😮‍💨👏🏼 The first time I had visited was a few years back, with a large group of about 20+, this dinner was much more intimate and we ate until we couldn’t walk 🥹

INSANE Turkish food, our favourite (and I still dream about this dish) was the Sarma Kuzu Beyti; Seasoned mince Lamb grilled over charcoal, wrapped in lavash bread and mozzarella, topped with tomato sauce and butter - INSAAAAAAAAANE. 🤤👏🏼 Complimentary salad, Tzatziki and fresh bread is also served whilst you browse the menu 🇹🇷🫶🏽

Didn’t rate the Chicken Shawarma- A little on the dry side. Künefe here is definitely up there with my favourite spots in London, the perfect way to finish up our meal with some Turkish tea ☕️

@londonfoodjourney's review of Gokyuzu on Instagram

Gökyüzü Green Lanes

All the dishes were really tasty and felt like authentic Turkish food. The portions are incredibly generous, 1 dish is even too much for 1 person so don’t hesitate to share 2 for 3 p.
I didn’t find it was out-of-this world type of food, as in you will get similar tastes in many other places in London, but it is such good value for money that I have to give 5 stars.

Great. Love the food. Great service and such a nice place. Easy to get to and situated in a nice area on Green Lanes. First time there with friends, love Turkish food, portions are great, make sure you're hungry when you go, eat laugh and eat more. Nice decor, staff very friendly. Family friendly too.

The food was really good.  Service was quite good too.  Only it seemed a bit on the over priced side given the location and dearth of other good Turkish restaurants all around.  Otherwise great fining experience.  The kunafa was really good.  The appetizer Manti also very nicely done.  Loved the Adana special.

The restaurant itself was lovely. Very welcoming, warm and friendly. I ordered a mixed kebab with rice n salad. Way too much meat which was quite dry and gristly, tiny rice portion and I'm still waiting 4 my salad!!!  Cocktails were lovely though.

Wonderful Turkish restaurant; their Lahmacun is the best in London (10/10).
I visited the place few times over the years; however and without fail, they keep rushing us to over order, eat, and leave.

As much as I like the food, I hate the staff attitude.

Chicken and lamb is Halal. Ramadan observed.

Gokyuzu

Slick contemporary decor in restaurant offering modern Turkish cuisine

Excellent vibe and atmosphere! The location is tucked away on a quiet road out of the hustle and bustle. I booked a table for the start of a sophisticated hen party - we didn’t have balloons of decorations etc so I can’t comment on if the restaurant allows them.

The decor is absolutely stunning with a modern, relaxing environment with fabulous lighting. Perfect for creating the perfect mood.  The staff were very accommodating with our requests - we were running late for the next part of the night and they bought our food out quickly whilst keeping the presentation on point.

The food was absolutely delicious, to start o had the Turkish sausage which isn’t too spicy but full of flavour. I then had the lamb chops (3 fair sized chops) which were cooked to perfection. Melt in the mouth meat and outstanding flavours. I ordered a side of bulgur which was cooked/looked different to other Turkish restaurants I’ve had but tasted soo good.  Their cocktails were absolutely beautiful not too much ice and the alcohol you could actually taste!

There were 8 of us and the bill was just under £400 this included cocktails so its around £45-55pp obviously depending on what you order!!  I have to admit compared to other Turkish restaurants that are not as ‘fancy’ the portions are slightly small especially for the price, although it is adequate here. Just remember you are also paying for the scenery/setting.

Perfect for date night or night out with friends. I don’t recommend this for families of young children. 9/10 just because it’s a tad pricey compared to other restaurants for the amount of food.

The interior was modern and slick. Everything I was able to see (furniture, tableware, architecture, etc…) was of contemporary design. However, I wasn’t able to see any uniqueness of this restaurant. Nothing inside this restaurant or even the music gave a hint of me being in a Turkish restaurant except for the food menu.

Regarding the food, the portion sizes for the mezzes/starters were too small. We ordered the hummus, the Turkish chorizo (sucuk), and red lentil soup, which were very delicious! Yet, when looking at the set prices, I personally found it difficult to justify value for money given the portions. Perhaps of the location but that’s just my guess. In any case, a bigger portion size would make a difference.

As for the main, I found it interesting to see Lamb Tagine on a Turkish menu but did order it because it was recommended. Tagine is actually a traditional Moroccan dish cooked in a tagine pot and can also appear in various countries in the Maghreb (North Africa). In terms of taste, I quite enjoyed how the meat was prepared and the taste was spot on but at the same time found the dish way too oily. In addition, I found it odd that rice was served with it because tagine is never served with/over rice. Generally, the side dishes to a tagine is always khobz (bread) and a variety of salads e.g. carrot, cucumber & tomato, cured olives, etc. It can either be a single salad or half a dozen.

The service was perfect! The members of staff were attentive, friendly and professional.

Recommended. Stylish Turkish restaurant in financial district. Reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly service, clean facilities.
Tip: try the Iskender mixed grill!

Well, where do I start... I visited very recently on a weekday with another person and my experience was as per below:

1. Staff were impatient and rushing us every few minutes.
2. I found a hair in my plate.
3. Food was okay, definitely needed more seasoning, especially the Iskender. Prawns from the starter were decent though.

The experience felt rushed and I was not happy with the hair and sub par taste of the food. I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.

They were so understanding about my diet and, my allergies that I’ve suggested a change in my dish. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the bathroom need to be more hygienic the smell was horrifying.

Spotlit, contemporary dining room for Turkish mezze, char-grilled kebabs and casseroles.

Super restaurant. The starters came out quick. Excellent choice of tasty starters. Their mains were generous. Totally recommend their take on the iskander. Their wine selection was good had a wonderful house wine Georgian. The ambiance was also pleasant with groups put on one side so not so noisy.

We arrived during lunch time. We had no reservation but they accommodate us downstairs near by the bar area. The staff were super friendly. The service was good. The food was good too, the Islanders Kabob good have been better but the lamb chops were great.

A great atmosphere,  good quality and reasonably priced food. Good service.
We were a party of 8 and well looked after.

What can I say. We been valentines days at Haz Restaurant really Tastys and amazing delicious every food, and friendly and kind stuffs. Highly Recomended. Best in a uk no1. Botanik Bbq ( Weston Super Mare) no2. Haz Restaurant premier.

Excellent location in the middle of the Financial Centre. Great for business lunch l, team gathering or corporate events. I had the mixed grill last time I was there and the taste was amazing. I will definitely go there again as my last experience was excellent. The Meza is ok but not great so if you skip that you will not be missing a lot. Make sure you book a table, the place is packed most of the time.

Hazev Restaurant Canary Wharf

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and it’s one of my favourite Turkish restaurants. The service is always good and they always seem to have tables available, even at peak times. The place is clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. The food is absolutely delicious. I would particularly recommend the hummus and the meze. The baklava is also an absolute treat. The prices are pretty reasonable too. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Turkish food.

We were there around lunch time, it was a bit quiet at the time.
The staff were extremely friendly and professional.
The food was well seasoned and tasted very nice, the portion sizes are about on point. (Not a place to go if you want to be completely suffered for cheap.)
The pricing is about on par with what you would pay in the area.
I will return if I am in the area that is for sure.

Great dinner! We’ve been to the Bar, Cafe and now restaurant. I can say it tastes really good as well as having good price and good service. I liked it!

Amazing venue.

They have a separate cafe shop and a la carte restaurant which is good.

Lots of delicious Turkish treats on sale!

Went to the a la carte section and got some classics such as Borek, Iskander, Bulgur wheat; lentil soup and baba ganoush.

Very delicious food. Good portion sizes to share and place was very clean.

Great service and bathrooms are very fancy.

Worth a visit! Going again for some treats at the shop!

Great selection of food. Super place for breakfast or a little date. The Turkish coffee was good and the omelette was nice. Also reasonably priced

All meat on our menu is Halal. We do serve alcohol.

Azura Restaurant & Bar

A really aesthetically pleasing restaurant, the service we received was really nice. Very friendly and a great atmosphere.
The food was incredible, each dish had a unique flavour and it was different to what I’m used too. I will say the portion sizes were smaller than excepted especially for what you’re paying, but the quality of food was exceptional. The drinks were so flavourful and I would highly recommend. Definitely book in advanced, the place does get really busy. Overall It was a great experience and the food was splendid.

This place really is amazing in many ways; The decor all around is beautiful and the food of course is scrumptious. I came here during noon and had the best experience, quieter time and lovely host Ali. He made the experience worth while, really catering to our needs and questions, he carries this place. More waiters like him are needed. In general I loved everything we ordered, and was very full, I wish I had space for desserts! The halal drinks were also a good size and taste, not to forget getting Tzatziki on the house - superb, while we enjoyed our food.  I do wish the toilets were not a mixed space and having more access to where we wanted to sit but otherwise - You literally can't go wrong here, just make sure you book in advance and off peak hours if possible!

⭐️A MUST try!!! Bursting with flavours!!! ⭐️

Great ambiance with authentic service by staff! We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes and I’d highly recommend trying the “Azura Nazik” on the menu!

An exquisite cocktail menu that is served in style.  🍸 🍹

Beautiful restaurant/bar in camden! The venue is beautiful both inside and outside. One of the best service we have ever received! I work in the hospitality industry therefore I could notice all the little details that made our evening so special! Starting from Arwa at the door making sure we get the best sit and being super nice to us, and Burak who gave us nice suggestions on the food, great knowledge and super friendly, he treated me and my girlfriend like a king and queen! Also the bartender Matteo made us some of the best looking, tasty, and creative cocktails I had, great bartender and human being :)

I couldn’t be happier with the staff and the service I cannot stress this enough!

I will advice this venue to everyone

Amazing experience- went for brunch with my friend on Sunday and Mahmoud and the rest of the lovely staff really took care of us. The shisha was the best I’ve tried to far and the food and drinks were great. Also, the decor was lovely for pictures. Would definitely recommend and will go again in the near future.

Nonos

The service is great as is the location. The decor is also great. I found the salads rather basic and  it felt very much like mass-produced. However the sea bass was delicious. I really expected Greek fanfare as the reviews stated but the place is like a fast food Greek restaurant. The service is highly recommendable.

Celebrated my husband's 40th birthday at Nonos last Saturday and it was amazing! The service provided by Nonos was incredible. The staff were very friendly, professional and very helpful. The food and the drinks were delicious! All my guest had a brilliant time and enjoyed the cocktails and the food and made amazing comments about the place and the service they received from everyone at Nonos.
Definitely recommend Nonos to celebrate any occasion or just to eat amazing food and great cocktails 🍸 😋

We decided to come to this Greek restaurant before going back to Edinburgh.

Everything was delicious but I was a bit disappointed with my octopus dish. At £16.95 I was expecting more than 2 tentacles... it did not say on the menu it was only that and I was expecting a lot more. However, it was delicious. I just think it should be specified that it's just 2 pieces of the tentacles as I probably would've gone for something different.

Service was good and friendly.

Amazing dishes and service and place! We got the rice covered with leave for the starter and it was so good! Also the lamb with pita bread was amazing. We asked to cut the chicken wrap in two and they were so kind to cut it nicely! The service in general was amazing and so kind. Also the place was very pretty with the gold frame without the paintings :) And I really really enjoy baklava! They said they prepare it for 4 days. The quality was so much higher from other baklava on the street. I would like to come back for sure if I want to have Greek food!

Went for bottomless brunch. The choice of cocktails were really good, and came out fast. However the choice of food for the food was mediocre. The chef would pick what he made you and your selection was limited to just starters. Like humus and olives sort of vibe. We ended up having to buy more food. They brought out some dips and some bread at the beginning though. Wasn’t worth the price of the bottomless but I guess we got enough drinks it balanced out. Ordered main meals in the end. Food was okay.

The chicken, lamb skewers and lamb chop are halal. Seafood linguini can be halal if requested without wine. However we do serve pork and alcohol in site.

Cafe 621

Really nice place with great range of food. The shawarma is perfect with nice taste of spices and salad. The desserts are really fantastic, you can see the baklava made very well with ice cream very tasty 👍

I ordered our meal from Uber Eats, which should not all make a difference to the food taste or presentation. I was really disappointed to be served ‘off’ looking feta chips and rock hard bread for the lamb hummus. A real shame as the overall reviews for this place seem amazingly good.

What a lovely cafe and shisha place
The shisha area is big and spacious
There was loads of seating and heating available

The shisha was great. Good flavour. Lasted a few hours

The food was spectacular. Couldn't fault it at all. Ordered the 621 special which states for 2/3 people. But 6 of us happily ate it and was very full.

The drinks were very good and the nada colada was great

Love that this place is HMC halal and no alcohol is served

Highly recommend going to this place

Will be back again soon

I had one of the best Half Chickens. The tenderness was amazing and the taste was soo good Ma Shaa Allah 😋. The spices all blended together exquisite 😍 will be Back!

The food is excellent especially lamb kofta and shawarma. The décor is really nice and the service is very good.

Wazir Restaurant

Perfect place to enjoy your meal :) everything is perfect about this place, service
Food and Atmosphere they all are great 😊 food is so perfectly cooked, we have ordered a platter for 4 and it was good enough for us.
I would highly recommend this gorgeous place to try.
Turkish the best :)

Quality service and very delicious food🍲 good portions and nice presentation.
The staff is very helpful and charming.

Was invited for Sunday lunch at this place. Never been here before….First impression, beautiful decor and a very large restaurant with a lot of staff.
Service fast
Food okay
No tap water served
Compulsory 10% charged on total bill.
I’ll stick to my local restaurant in Roman Road.

Food was outstanding as well as the prices are high. Excellent customer services provided. Apart from expensive menus everything was very good.

Well it’s a nice restaurant for Turkish food but too noisy and packed at weekends
So if you’re looking for a visit best to to go during the weekend to avoid crowds and waiting for an hour plus and too noisy with groups

Wazir

Aziziye Restaurant

Very nice venue with quiet and well lit seating. Great food and very friendly service. Downstairs seating is great if you want privacy and also has the traditional floor seating. Adana kebabs are super juicy. Girl player includes lamb chops lamb cubes chicken tikka and wings as well as Adana kebab and rice/lintel. Turkish tea gives same flavour as genuine Istanbul tea. Deserts were heavenly.

Amazing food with excellent customer service.

One of the best restaurants that have a masjid within the building. You have the option to dine on chairs and tables or floor seating. We had booked a booth for floor seating and the experience was very good.

We were served with bread on the house along with cold water which was very refreshing. The food was served at the right temperature and tasted very good 👍.

I would definitely recommend to family and friends as the experience, service, food is affordable and overall excellent.

Food was tasty but slightly over priced given the portion sizes. Waiter was a bit rude when I changed my mind and asked to change seats from the table to the private cubicle. One positive was the ease of praying in the mosque upstairs after the meal. Would consider a takeaway next time I stop over to pray.

Good tasty food, and the waitor who served and took care of us (Selcük) was very kind and hospitable. The food was decent however nothing special. Only reason why it was not 5 stars is that it was quite expensive compared to other Turkish restaurants I’ve been to and they charge an extra 10% on top of your order to sit on the floor.

This is my favourite Turkish restaurant in the UK if there is anything better than this then I'd love to see it. Everything from the platter was exceptional and the lamb chops we're the best I've ever had simply blown away 10/10

Customer service was spot on highly recommend.

Aziziye

Acacus Libyan Restaurant & Shisha

Honestly, after traveling around Morocco, and also having friends of Libyan descent I was so looking forward to trying the food. Ive had bakbaka before but thought it would have been better here. Soup was good, the bakbaka needed more sauce and flavor, it was more of just a regular pasta in sauce than the traditional Libyan dish. Octopus couscous was okay, the couscous was good but octopus very rubbery. Service was extremely slow, but honestly I felt bad because they seemed very understaffed especially in the kitchen and the workers were really nice. Hopefully they can improve in the future and the restaurant will be better

We visited this authentic Libyan restaurant, food was amazing, Lamb falling off the bone.
And seabass so much flavour, Great customer service, very welcoming, friendly staff with a chill and relaxed atmosphere, highly recommended. Will visit again.

Chicken tagine was divine. Full of flavour, tender and juicy. My friend got the lamb which was also great! Highly recommend this place.

Came here with friends for shisha and desserts.
Everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was very nice and chill, in a very nice area. We sat outside but staff was attentive and ensured we were sufficiently heated and warm. The baklava we tried was super amazing, and the mint tea here was flavourful and just what we needed on a cold night and after a heavy meal.
The icing on the cake for our experience here was our interaction with the staff and the owner, Khalid! Very pleasant people to deal with and definitely made our night. You can tell they put their all into their service. Will definitely be back :)

Great to have Libyan food in a restaurant for once - small but nice atmosphere + great food/service

Acacus

We had heard good reviews about Kibele online so we thought we’d give it a try!

I mean, the only thing we really enjoyed in terms of food was the Diet Coke...for starters we ordered Kalamar (calamari) and Carides (grilled prawns). The Kalamar was very elasticy and the breadcrumbs just...fell off? The Carides wasn’t the most flavourful either. I ordered the Mix Grill, which was probably the best thing we got. The adana kebab and lamb chop were nice, but the chicken cubes were dry. The lamb shank was completely tasteless, although it did fall off the bone quite well. However, the restaurant did have really pretty decor and a beautiful harp at the front that is occasionally played during dinner, which creates a very nice atmosphere. The service was good. 
Settings: 8/10 
Food: 4/10
Service: 7/10
Overall: 6.3/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Kibele Fitzrovia on Instagram

Kibele Restaurant

Really high quailing food, super service and relaxed ambience. Highly recommend you to try!

We had a lamb dish which was one of the best cooked lambs we ever had along with the chicken shish which was again grilled to perfection.

Cocktail for desert was an espresso martini and again was up there with the best I have tasted to date.

Staff were incredibly attentive!

The food here is incredible. I was really blown away! The service was amazing 🤩 I’d happily go here over and over again! 5/5 stars ⭐️
We had to get a takeaway bag because we ate too much bread and starters😭

Love the food and service here! Definitely recommend this place.

We had the ‘just the 2 of us’ to share, including lamb skewer, chicken& lamb shish, lamb cutlets, chicken wings, chicken skewer, served rice, salad. We shared within three of us and we were so full.

We had the pistachio baklava with the pistachio ice cream on the top- it’s so creamy and yum!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kibele Restaurant and Bar and was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the live music added to the ambiance. The cabaret shows were top-notch and truly added to the overall entertainment value of the evening.

But the real star of the show was the Mediterranean cuisine. The mezzes were absolutely delicious, with a variety of flavors and textures that kept me coming back for more. And the desserts were equally amazing - I couldn't resist trying a few different options.

Overall, I highly recommend Kibele Restaurant and Bar for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The food, entertainment, and atmosphere are all top-notch and make for a truly memorable evening.

I want to start by saying how fantastic Kibele is. I've been to this restaurant more than a few times, and it was terrific each time I was there. The food is delicious, the drinks are incredible, and the atmosphere is excellent! The staff are also friendly and fun, which makes for a great dining experience.

Kibele

Baraka Restaurant London

This is located a short walk from Liverpool St Station. I visited on a Sunday around 7pm. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.  The toilets were in good condition. I thought the prices for a charcoal grill meal was pretty steep for what you get. I very much enjoyed my helim salad. We both ordered rice as a side. We had a soft drink each. We shared a plate of boreks (at nearly £8 for 3!). Our bill totalled to over £60 - this included tip. The service was very good to begin with, but we waited quite a while to see if a dessert menu or tea would be offered (they weren't). We had to call a member of staff over to ask for the bill. The place was not busy, so I felt they should have been a little bit more observant.

It's decent. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, the waiters we encountered were nice. We were overcharged for drinks significantly and I guess they thought we wouldn't notice (for context, £108 for 3 double shots of Hennessy). When we asked about it, to their fairness, they removed it, but then when we got the new bill we had found that they put the same amount under courvoisier.
As for food, starters were amazing, main courses were on the smaller side, you have to purchase rice separately. Even on the set menus.
It's one to try once, but I wouldn't set your expectations too high.

Incredible food , very tasty and juicy. Great cocktails and the staff were excellent. The indoor decor and ambience of the restaurant is also very nice and modern. A great place to eat. We had the Kofte  and Iskender dishes and all tasted great

Arrogance… arrived at 4ish the lady told us we could have a table until 6pm.
At 5.15 staff are moving chairs & tables around and asked us to leave now so they can prepare the tables …
We did move to another table but really poor service & just arrogant staff
Good luck. I’m sure it’ll do well short term but I’d never go back myself.

The food was Not bad, but not the best in the City. Very expensive compared to what you get, a small portion with high Prices. Not worth trying it. However, the restaurant is warm; I like it maybe for coffee and dessert but Not for food. They have a friendly and excellent team.

I do not recommend it.

All meat served here is halal. No pork but alcohol present.

Baraka

Le Bab

Categorically the greatest food I’ve tasted in a long time, London has some delicious treats to be enjoyed and this is a real hidden gem beneath the smoky metropolis. Perfecting food is a fine art and here they have mastered perfection, all the ingredients combine to an incredibly high level, bursting with phenomenal flavours, from the fresh vegetables, to the finest meats and well crafted sauces leaves you only wanting to return and try every other dish. Great staff, super friendly, attentive and considerate of your dining experience, cannot fault it whatsoever. 5 stars, thank you so much.

Flavours were good but I paid £14 (!!!) for a large wrap, alongside a £7 one, and both turned up exactly the same size (very small) and so overly greasy. Just so disappointed/angry that you can even get away with charging that much, for so little food. (Pictures taken on small side plates!!)

Came across this amazing Kabab restaurant while I was on a night walk with my bf and I was the happiest when I found a veggie option for myself in paneer. The kababs here tastes awesome with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and nice.

An amazing spot for a late night bite. Incredible flavours, super friendly staff and awesome vibes! Also really amazing fries and sauces alongside the mains. This place really stands out from your standard kebab shops, on quality, flavour and atmosphere. Will definitely return next time I end up partying in Shoreditch! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful evening here tonight. The food tasted yummy and the service was excellent. The staff was very nice and friendly to kids too. My kids and I enjoyed both the meal and the service very much. Great music too.

Rusto

The best grill joint hands down with incredible service. These guys went over and beyond in providing Michelin star quality. I can continue to rave about how good this place is, but I'm sure you'll all agree a picture paints a thousand words.

The flavouring on the chicken was succulent and juicy, the lamb kofte were mouthwateteringly soft and melt in your mouth, the falafel had an incredibly lemony zest that were the best I've tasted and lamb chops that just melted off the bone!

Awesome work guys 👊🏽💯

Most incredible food in all of Slough! It is a must try

Fantastic Lamb shawarma, fast friendly service. Highly recommended

The Best Grilled chicken place in the entire region of Slough but they need a working telephone as the wait is over 15mins when busy

Today was my wedding anniversary and the wife wasn’t feeling well enough to go out for dinner I decided to take something home to share. I asked the gentleman who was working to make me a platter and everything was amazing. The wife really enjoyed it . The meat was very tinder & the salad was spot on. Can’t thank you enough guys. You are amazing & if there is a 10 stars I will give you them . Keep it up & keep smiling kind regards amine & family
I will definitely recommend this place to try lots of choices to have for lunch or dinner

Privée by Layalina

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff here are so lovely, kind, attentive and friendly. The food is of amazing quality, the atmosphere at night is nice. In my opinion,  it is good value for money, I have been here a few times now and will definitely be a regular. The manager is really cool and makes it very clear he is here to help. The Shisha master guy is a lovely person. Cant wait to see you guys again soon

We have been to Layalina three times now, once before lockdown and twice after.
 Food is always fresh and delicious;  an excellent choice will offer something for everyone. 
Service is consistently attentive without being intrusive; very friendly and well-informed staff!
The restaurant is well-set up in line with Covid rules; in spite of these measures the place still feels cosy and has a lovely atmosphere. 
I can't recommend this place highly enough. Please visit.

we chose LayaLina as our first restaurant to visit on Super Saturday. I don't need to say anything about the food as Layalina is famous for its Lebanese cuisine.  what impressed me again was how superbly they carried out their Covid 19 safety measures. As soon as we arrive at the door, our temperature were taken. Each table had a bottle of hand gel, in fact, hand gels were located through out the venue.  We found our sterilised cutlery and serviette sealed in a bag. Tables had a good distance between each other. We felt so safe that evening. Subsequently, the next day i visited three other places, for brunch and drinks, and non of them provided this extensive safety measures. 
oh another great found, they've now started selling home made organic jams, dried fruits and nuts. All produce organic.Of course we indulged in a few jar of jams :p

The dancers were superb as was the host but the night was short and very expensive.

Devi is lovely and so welcoming and so nicely dressed!!! And the food is amazing, cutlery all in a sealed bag, really great :) recommend the shish taouk and crispy cheese :)

Small Iraqi shisha cafe, restaurant and cafe

Masgouf - مطعم مسكوف

I went in for dinner around 8 pm on Saturday. They were quite full. I had the Iraqi kebab (minced lamb) for dinner and it was very good. The food was well prepared and service was good. I would definitely try some other lamb dishes or a mixed grill next time.

21 years since this branch is opened.  This is the original Masgouf, I consider. Friendly staff, especially Rabee. Great seating outside, inside and downstairs. Great ambiance.  Great food.  They offered Muhalabia, Baqlawah and Dates for free. Reasonable prices.

The service was good and the food was absolutely delightful. Dolma, kibbe and kabab, salads are well great.

very good service lovley staff great food had rhe quzi amazing pomegranite went well and the nuts were roasted just right raisins where juice well and tomato soup had just the right kick to add to the dish will be back

I loved the food at this place it was exceptional. On the other hand the service of the waiters was absolutely appalling and so rude. The waiters acted as if we were having the food for free and not paying them money for it. I asked for water and they actually chucked the water in front of my face. So service was terrible. But then the food was very very good and other then the terrible waiters which kind of brought a downer on our evening we enjoyed our time there and made the most of it.

Le Chef Masgouf

This is our last night in London, and we all glad that we chose Le Bab to be out last dinner of this trip. All food was fantastic and very impressive; the service was super friendly and professional. Definitely a place I’d come back more often and recommend all my friends to go dine for!

Cute little place. Stunned at how incredible the Paneer Les Kebab was (5 star food). Whilst I was eating it I was already excited for the next time I get to have one. Phenomenally delicious 😍 Garlic mayo dip is amazing with the chips. My friends had the meat butter naan and it was not a winner for them.  🥂 Happy Hour didn’t have a lot of options but a good little reduction for a few drinks

It is a small place, not many tables - we booked in advance. Felt like too many servers on shift with not a lot to do. I was especially surprised to see how long the drinks would take to come. The servers were very eager to take away plates and glasses, often a bit too soon. They wanted our table for a reservation later, which might explain the eager table clearing. When we ordered more drinks they came to tell us they needed our table in 20 mins - good thing we needed to leave by then anyway. I didn’t like the obligatory 12.5% service charge added on.

But that paneer Les kebab was so good that’s really all I can think about. Definitely returning for that!

As much as I’d love to leave a 4 star I just cannot. The food was excellent - the fried chicken starter was one of the best chicken dishes I ever had. We had the chicken kebab and we absolutely loved it. What we ate was 5 star!
Sadly service was mediocre and that’s why I scored it down. A shame - improve your service staff - kitchen staff was awesome!

Been wanting to come for a while,
and my expectations have been disappointingly reconciled.
Food is very average is taste,
and there is absolute no vibe in this place.

They might be understaffed and I understand,
but then the restaurant should have something planned.
No music, no ambience and not even a band.
Oh! And get ready for a pricey bill in your table to land.

Loved it here, we will definitely be back and absolutely recommend.

Book a table so you’re not disappointed if you have to wait for a table. We booked a table, were seated, and ordered using the QR code. The food was served super fast! We got hummus, the fries, a chicken kebab and the pork and beef brisket kebab. It was all amazing. The food was just absolutely delicious and we loved the atmosphere of the place.

Contemporary Anatolian cuisine by chef Colin Clague

Rüya London

In general, a luxury restaurant, they tried to make original Turkish dishes with a more innovative approach. most of them are successful but some dishes should stay traditional. Cocktails and wine are very diverse and good. service staff was fine. I can say that it is successful in terms of taste. If you go with the expectation of traditional Turkish cuisine, you may not be happy. If you want to try a more innovative interpretation of Turkish cuisine, I recommend it.

In general, this is a lovely place for any occasion: from celebrating birthday to being on  a date. The ambiance was fine but wasn't wow, decorations for Xmas were lacking. It was equally rather loud in the dinning area. The food was very tasty and we followed waiter's recommendations but portions are rather small. Overall, a good place to try for some Anatolian cuisine.

I found another gem in London Mayfair - Rüya London Turkish flavoured with remarkable atmosphere and amazing cocktails.
We had a night of Turkish flavours so we ordered many starters to try different types. It was absolutely amazing and delicious.
My favourite dish: slow cooked beef ribs.
We had tasted Turkish wine.
Amazing vibes, location and services.

Gorgeous restaurant. Service was impeccable, food & drinks were lovely. Would definitely recommend to those planning to visit. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, but a starter, 2 mains and a side filled us up pretty nicely. Oh and the desert was delicious.

We come to Ruya to celebrate special occasions - birthdays, graduations, etc.

The decor of the restaurant is very nice and  atmospheric. The staff is always very friendly, patient and happy to assist.

The selection of drinks is enormous and the menu also has a wide variety of options.

It can be fairly expensive, but if quality of the food and service is more important, then this is a great place to come for lunch or dinner

The vast majority of our menu is halal - if in doubt, our restaurant team will be happy to help!

Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel)

This restaurant is amazing, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, the interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and feels very comfortable inside. We ordered the Special mix Grill which is enough for 4 people. I was in a group of 3 and there was plenty to eat. The food was nicely cooked and the taste was delicious. Prices are fair and I would 100% recommend Efes 👍🏼

Lovely Turkish place with clean environment and great food.

Price is about £30 per person.
We ordered a bit too much, highly recommend the sharing platter.

A work colleague recommended that we visit Efes, and it was a decision we did not regret. The place was clean and inviting. The starters were fresh, and the food was great. The cocktails were brilliant. I will definitely visit again. The only downside is that I wish the waitresses and host wouldn't stand in a line/ row at the bar/ grill. My friends and I felt a little pressured to finish the food and leave. Maybe a better seating would have helped, but besides that, all was well.

Went as part of a group of 25 work colleagues, friendly staff and very tasty food. We had the set menu at £35 was a little expensive for what we had. I had the mixed shish main course with a few chips. Both the chicken and lamb were cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavour. Would have given 5 stars but for the price and a couple of colleagues only getting their main course after most people had finished.

Went for dinner and tried a couple of platters, Aubergine, Turkish coffee and kunafe. Food was tasty and well presented, service was good too!! Not really spacious upstairs especially if you order a lot of food but downstairs seating was only for larger groups which was much nicer. Kunafe wasn’t the best I had !! Overall a good experience!

Our first time trying Greek Street Food!

Pittabun looks SO good on instagram so we had to give it a try! Our waitress recommended the special for that month, the Yogortlu, and we also asked for the Lamb Sunday Roast 🍖. I think we preferred the Sunday Roast over the Yogortlu, as the flavours blended well. The chips 🍟 were the BEST. They were seasoned to perfection and just crunchy enough!

Settings: 6.5/10
Food: 6/10
Service: 7/10
Overall: 6.5/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Pittabun Carnaby on Instagram

PittaBun

They just moved to Camden. Great fresh and tasty pita's. Such a friendly service. Allways with a big smile.

Well, I wanted to rate it as 4-stars because of the chips (very heavy) and the XXS portion of tzatziki sauce... but I tried the lemon chicken pocket bun and I can say that I tasted a great harmony  of flavours and fresh materials. The portion was Medium. I will definetely visit again Pittabun and I will not add fries to my bun.

Great little Greek spot, with amazing food and fresh flavours. Their signature pitta “buns” are the best incarnation I’ve ever tried - char grilled on the outside, fluffy on the inside. A full range of fillings from chicken/pork/lamb to fish and veggie/vegan options. Skin on chips were excellent too.

I really need to return here and try their sweet pitta buns.

Wow.
Stumbled across this place whilst walking around Carnaby Street looking for food. So happy we found it. Didn't realise it had seating downstairs from the outside but the seating area is lovely with a really nice ambience and music. Most importantly the food - 10/10.
The bun was insane and the chicken thigh open was amazing also. Greek beer was really light and nice too. Service also great. Give this place 11/10. A must visit!

I was never thankful for an unexpected rain shower as on this day, because it made us run into this little restaurant tucked away in Carnaby. If you love Greek food, this is your place. My favorite was the Greek salad which was one of the best I’ve EVER had! And the fish pita (salivating while writing). It’s healthy and staff are lovely, you can hear them speak in Greek which adds a lovely ambiance.

Everything is Halal except from Pork. We do use separate utensils (cutting boards, knifes etc) to avoid cross-contamination. We do use the same robata to cook pork, but in different part of it.
