10 Best restaurants for Turkish in London

Popped in just as they were finishing up and the owner (I think) still had time to look after me and not rush me.  And then the grilled chicken and kofte cooked over the s charcoal was great.  I was just driving past whilst hungry but I’ll defo be back.

Food was really delicious and fresh, which is like that you are eating in Turkey. We tried mix grill and also their donor. We also tried Sujuk which was good enough.

The guys at the restaurant are very polite and welcoming.

Prices are extremely reasonable comparing the portions and quality.

Very pleasant staff....

I had the Chicken Doner and it was great...I will be back!

They have very good service. I am happy with it and recommend it to you

Just ordered through deliveroo and the portion is incredible, all these for 30 pounds, hot and delicious......Always a fan of kebab yet this is absolutely by far the best one, surprised me in a good way which rarely happens (I mean, think of the tiny boxes you would get from elsewhere). Have recommended to friends and would definitely come back😋

Deliveroo UK

Efes Restaurant

Excellent place to enjoy great Turkish cuisine. The lamb is delicious, well-spiced and perfectly cooked, and the staff really makes you feel welcome. A delightful discovery!!!

The atmosphere was very cozy, the server was really friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious! Their specialty tea was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend it!

Best ever experience in East London! Pls order lamb ribs or you’ll regret for life. The BEST!! And thank you Rony - nice recs, amazing jokes and fun, and above and beyond service. Will def come back 😆

Love coming to Efe’s.
The food is amazing and they never disappoint with beautiful and friendly customer service.
Rony is such a delight!
Yea is superb!

🚫 Avoid at all costs!

I visited this branch 2 years ago and it was bad then — now it’s gone downhill even more. They’re cheating customers with tiny portion sizes, seems the usual mixed shisha slicing skewers in half, undercooked rice instead of proper bulgur, and tasteless chicken. The beef was dry, salad was just random leaves, tomato, and cucumber with none of the usual Turkish touches (no herbs either!) Honestly the worst rice I’ve ever had at a Turkish place. See the photo and use your own judgement.
For the steep prices in East London, it’s ridiculous. Mile End branch is far better. I won’t be coming back — appalling!

Efes

Wazir Restaurant

I came to Wazir Restaurant for the Qawwali session that took place. I came with family to facilitate for them a cultural heritage experience.

The qawwali was excellent, floor seating for all and most importantly the restaurant has its own carpark in the back, on Mansfield road. You can drive around and park up.

Visited Wazir recently and was impressed by their food. Their food is a mix of Persian and Turkish contrary to some of the other reviews on here.

We opted for the special mixed grill and another one of the mixed grill options and they food came out on time and hot and fresh. Their fresh bread and chilli sauce was amazing, and they offer fresh Turkish tea at the end of the meal.

The interior is basic but practical, delivering on what a restaurant is intended to provided. Great atmosphere with lots of customers and the staff were friendly and attentive. There is a shisha area in the back of the establishment and free car parkinf for customers.

Just take note, there is a special service charge of 10% added to the bill but it is highlighted befode you sit down so no surprises.

The food is delicious but they are lacking badly on customer service. I would have definitely given 5 stars but they are short of staff, the poor girl was struggling alone to serve us and everybody.

Nice resturant, nice staff, but if u eat Iraqi or Turkish grills, you will know that it is not up to the level, I belive its the meat issue, its chewy 🫥

Overall, it was a good experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the service enjoyable. The music was a bit too loud at times, but otherwise the atmosphere was pleasant. The food was good, although it did not fully meet expectations for charcoal-grilled meat, as advertised on the restaurant’s facade. Prices are affordable compared to restaurants in central London. I would recommend this place for a casual dining experience.

Wazir

Alicis

We order frequently but finally managed to go at the actual restaurant for a birthday brunch. The food was absolutely delicious as always, coffee is great, service is absolutely brilliant - they even put extra sparkles on my cake and sang happy birthday with my guests. Lovely memories!
The place was beautifully decorated for Halloween which was a pleasant surprise. It does transform into a shisha bar at 5pm which was unfortunately as we were seated in their covered lounge but also someone started smoking a cigarette there shortly before 5pm, right next to the staff, which wasn’t ideal as I’m pregnant and our friends have a child. Nevertheless, when flagged to the staff they didn’t ask the man to put off his cigarette until we sort out the bill and leave.

My 4th time there! I loved every bit of it. The service is always impeccable and friendly. The food, aesthetics and ambiance, also lovely.

Nice options in food and the place is also good! Very beautiful interior with plants around and good day light.  Initially, I felt the staff could be more friendly but I can’t fault their service. I asked for salt and Pepper and the guy got me all kinds of sauces with it. I would definitely recommend it!  It has Halal food.

I had a great experience here. I had the Lamb Fillets which was really tasty. Quality pastries that they have as well they were delicious. Definitely recommend here. Looking forward to try the Outside Dining section too.

Venue was packed & buzzing happy & service was alright but had to catch their eye at times & somethings like water for the table never got to us! Breakfast choices were limited & it was halal so turkey bacon wouldn't have been my choice but sausage was nice enough but couldn't eat the pancakes, texture & taste was off for me which meant breakfast felt over priced.  Portions were small for adults {baked beans came in a very small condiment bowl} even a 1yr old baby would be asking for more! It wasn't even 2 tablespoons! Only 1 sausage & 1 egg scrambled, 2 hash browns & 2 small unappetising pieces of turkey bacon I was left hungry!  But saving grace was their hot chocolate... delicious & their branding, decor is Insta ready.  Although breakfast was disappointing we would consider trying evening dining if in the area again.

The Munch

Fantastic takeaway experience from The Munch in Shoreditch! We ordered the chicken doner and lamb doner box, and both were absolutely delicious flavourful, generous portions, and perfectly cooked. Everything was fresh and packed really well, making it just as enjoyable at home as dining in.

A big shout-out to Majid, who handled our order with great care. He was friendly, efficient, and made the pickup smooth and easy.

If you’re craving top-quality doner in Shoreditch, The Munch is unbeatable. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my lunch stop at The Munch. My lamb doner wrap was fresh and extremely tasty, and it came out quickly. The place was spotless, and the staff were fun and helpful. A solid choice whether you want to sit down for a quick meal or take it to go — note, there's additional seating upstairs.

This place was across the street from our hotel (One Hundred Shoreditch) and it did not disappoint. Greeted with a friendly staff and a warm smile by all. The lamb doner kebab was delicious and the cheesy fries were a great add. Def check this spot out if you’re in the area!

Oh my goodness this place is delicious. We had the veggie platter and the chicken doner and it very seriously hit the spot. Warm bread came out to start, and a huge plate followed of delicious food. Will 100% come back. Thanks Afzal for such friendly service !

I visited The Munch today, and Afzal was working at the cash counter. He guided us very well and was extremely helpful throughout our visit. His behaviour was polite, professional, and genuinely welcoming.

We really appreciated the support he provided, and his excellent customer service made our experience much better. Afzal is truly an asset to your team.

Turkuoise - Traditional Turkish Cuisine

The Turkuoise restaurant exceeded all expectations – the food was absolutely great, each dish fresh and flavourful. The atmosphere was brilliant, creating a welcoming setting for a relaxed meal, and the service provided by the staff was second to none; they were attentive, friendly, and effortlessly efficient. Prices were very reasonable, making the overall experience even more satisfying. We’ll definitely be returning.

I visited Turquoise Turkish Restaurant and ordered the Mixed Platter, mainly because it was advertised as including mixed doner, which I really love.

When the food arrived, the doner was missing. After asking, I was told they had run out — but this was not mentioned before ordering. There was no apology, no alternative, and no compensation offered.

This is not the first time it has happened. On my previous visit, the exact same thing occurred — I only found out the doner was missing after the food was served.

It feels misleading to keep advertising doner on the menu when it is repeatedly unavailable. I would not have ordered this dish without it. Very disappointing experience and poor customer service.

An impromptu visit to Turquoise with work colleagues reminded me why I used to be a regular here. We opted for the chef’s special, a generous spread designed for four that not only satisfied everyone at the table but also left us with enough to take home. The drinks menu impressed, with the piña colada standing out as a highlight. While the cold meze was enjoyable though not the best I’ve had, the overall experience was excellent. My colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and the chilli sauce in particular deserves special praise—easily a 10/10. The service was good however we had to wave the waitress few times for attention and had to ask for more bread. Overall good choice for a last minute decision.

We were out shopping on Green Street on a Sunday and decided to stop for a bite to eat. After a quick Google search, this place came up with good reviews, and since Turkish food is one of our favourites, we decided to give it a try.
The restaurant is situated more towards the top end of Green Street (Romford Road side), which was nice as it felt a little away from the hustle and bustle of the busier stretch. We arrived for an early lunch and were the first customers, which meant we had our pick of seating. We were warmly greeted and the service throughout was friendly and attentive.
We ordered the mixed grill, which came with a generous selection of meats, chicken, wings, mixed doner, served with rice and naan. Alongside the main dish, we were given the traditional accompaniments of hummus, tzatziki, salad, and sauce dips. The portion size were good, the food was well cooked, and everything was full of flavour.
To finish, we had Turkish tea, which was nicely presented. The food was reasonably priced compared to other Turkish restaurants we’ve visited.
The restaurant itself was very clean, with tidy bathrooms and even baby changing facilities, which makes it a good choice for families.
Overall, it was a really good experience, and we would happily return the next time we’re in the area.

The food was fantastic, and the staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming. It’s a wonderful restaurant for families & large parties and a great choice. Highly recommend for everyone to visit here. 👌

Lezzet Kitchen

We had an absolutely wonderful evening! The food was fabulous, very generous portions and delicious flavours. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend

We came back after 1 year and standard food and service was exactly the same as before!

You can't go wrong with this place !

Incredibly delicious food! The bread was yummy and warm and the platter was so tasty and a very generous portion! The staff were attentive and did not let the bread basket get empty! The cherry on the cake was the baklava and the authentic Turkish tea! Exquisite! I will be back!

As someone who has travelled to Turkey twice, I can attest to the fact that this spot serves authentic Turkish BBQ and delicacies just like the restaurants in Turkey.

Lezzet Kitchen literally transports you to Turkey with their traditional Turkish ambiance as well as their delectable kebabs, BBQ, Kunefe, soufflé and Turkish tea that are made in house with the freshest ingredients by Turkish chefs themselves.

We ordered their Hummus and Lahmacun as well as other starters that I became a huge fan of but the star of the show was their grill platter which was tender and grilled to perfection.

Mr Adil was extremely hospitable and friendly and even helped us select what to order from the diverse menu and his recommendations were excellent! The owner was also very humble and friendly as well as all the other kind staff members in the restaurant. I would highly recommend trying out Lezzet Kitchen for a truly Turkish experience🙌

Fantastic service, pleasant staff and atmosphere. Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Selale Restaurant

Selale is such a beautiful restaurant. From the atmosphere to the food, everything was absolutely amazing. I visit Selale often, and this time there were eight of us as I brought my friends along for their first experience of Turkish food. I am happy to say they were not disappointed at all.

It was also a special occasion for one of my friends, and the team truly went above and beyond to make it memorable. They even arranged a cake for her, which made the evening feel extra special and thoughtful. It was a lovely touch that meant a lot to us all.

The food was absolutely beautiful, full of flavour and perfectly cooked, and the service was genuinely top tier. A special mention to our waiter Emrah, who was outstanding, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for our table throughout the night.

I honestly cannot fault Selale whatsoever. Everything was lovely, and all of my friends loved it just as much as I do. Highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back again soon. ⭐

Door-to-door kindness and service, just like being hosted by a Turkish family.

The warm and competent service started right at the entrance, and there was never a “no” to any of my requests.

I ordered the Turkish breakfast, which is world-famous and often rated as the best breakfast in the world.
I truly enjoyed the traditional spread with sucuk, olives, different kinds of cheese, börek, and more — and of course, unlimited Turkish tea.

I can highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience genuine Turkish hospitality and delicious food.

Great job, guys 👌

We had a wonderful experience at this Turkish restaurant. The platter we ordered was presented beautifully, and flavourful. The meats were tender and juicy, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is also very lovely.  I came here before for the İskender Kebab - I highly recommend that too.

Visited Selale Restaurant recently — the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly throughout our visit. The food overall was good and nicely presented, but the chicken shish was unfortunately quite dry compared to what I expected from a place with such strong reviews.

The total bill came to £181 for three people, which felt a bit steep for what we had, especially since portions weren’t overly large. On a positive note, they did offer complimentary tea and baklava at the end, which was a nice touch and left a good final impression.

Overall, a decent experience but not quite worth the hype or the price.

The food was simply amazing! We got both of the large platters and it served 12 people (kids and adults). The flavors were delicious. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Lokma Turkish Grill & Bar

I came here last month with a few of my friends for dinner.
Lokma is widely considered a solid, high-energy dining spot that works best for groups and celebrations rather than quiet, intimate dinners. With a 4.5-star rating on Google, it is praised for its generous portions and "Instagrammable" decor, though service can occasionally be hit-or-miss. It is a particularly popular fixture in Bermondsey Square for its blend of traditional Turkish cuisine and modern nightlife vibes.
The menu focuses on authentic Turkish charcoal grills and mezze, often served in large, shareable formats.
The Mixed Grill Platter is frequently cited as the standout dish, offering a massive selection of chicken and lamb cuts that offer great value for groups.
Reviewers often recommend the Lamb Hummus (topped with crispy lamb and pine nuts) and the Sea Bass for seafood lovers.
The bar is well-regarded for its cocktails, including twists like the "Espres-Tahini" martini.
Lokma leans heavily into a lively, party-like atmosphere, especially on weekends.
Expect loud music and live entertainment. On Friday and Saturday nights, they often host belly dancers, turning the dinner service into a show.
The interior features bold colors and plush velvet seating. There is also a popular outdoor terrace in the square and a designated shisha lounge, which adds to the social, late-night appeal.
Service is the most divisive aspect of the restaurant. While many guests report friendly and attentive staff (with specific mentions of helpful waiters), a noticeable number of reviews cite disorganization or slow service during peak times. It is generally safer to book in advance and be patient during the busy weekend rush.
While the restaurant had a well-publicized hygiene issue in 2022, it has since been re-inspected. As of July 2024, government data rates its hygiene standards as Good, indicating the past issues have been resolved.
It is located right in Bermondsey Square, about a 10-15 minute walk from London Bridge station.

Came here with work colleagues on a week night and first impression it looked very nice and the welcoming staff were good!

However when being taken to our table it was a bit of a nightmare as the dinning room was absolutely packed. It was uncomfortable walking pass brushing people whilst they’re eating.
We got to our seat and hoped we didn’t need the toilet until we leave as it was back to back chairs in the isle way.

We ordered mix grilled platter which was nice, but the atmosphere was very cramped and it became hot very quickly making it uncomfortable.

Beautiful Decor, Okaish Food, there are better turkish resturants ive been to. Manager came to take our order, didnt write it and didnt remember on top of her head, and brought wrong items. By the time i finished my food, my wifes food arrive.
Only one guy was running around serving everyone called Asad, Manager herself was polite and soft spoken but was’nt interested in serving customers and was too busy on phone. Other staff was doing nothing and looking busy.

We had another great meal at Lokma. A family meal and enjoyed the whole grilled sea bass, the lamb kebab and the spinach, together with some great bread and sauces. We sat outside in Bermondsey square and Sarah welcomed us and gave us great service

Had a lunch.  Virgin pina colada, meat and veggie mezze starter and adana lamb main, with Turkish tea and baklava tea.  Was a group of 6.  Avaz was excellent, and food was really tasty and nice ambience.  One of the best adana kebabs I've had.  the Turkish tea was tasty.  Only reason for 4 / 5 for food was the meat meze could have had one more meat dish. Apart from that, everything else brilliant...and would recommend.

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

Really enjoyed a Friday evening meal here. The food was excellent, the service couldn’t be better, courteous and friendly. Portions were incredibly generous, everything was tasty, and I appreciated the free salad, bread, yoghurt dish and Turkish tea. The Turkish restaurants on Upper St, Islington have stopped giving salad etc at the start of the meal — which I associate with a good Turkish meal — so  I’d rather come here. I was made to feel welcome as a single customer and given a nice table in the early evening. The dinner was reasonably priced given the generosity of the servings.

Only shame was that I couldn’t get a small portion of the fresh chili sauce that often comes with the chicken/meat dishes, they only serve it as a large (paid) portion. One of the waiters kindly gave me some anyway, but I would suggest this is also made available for tables of 1 or 2, as it really complements the meats so nicely.

Highly recommend this place, also there is a nice buzzy atmosphere and no loud music on the night that I visited, so a more relaxed atmosphere despite the buzz, customers didn’t need to shout to be heard.

Met with my friends for an afternoon of catching up. Atmosphere and decor is very nice in this venue. Warm welcome and service.

The food is typical for the area so nothing surprising. However I felt the food that was ordered did not meet my expectations in the end. It was to serve 5 people. There was a lot of meat but in my opinion not enough rice. Usually there is so much food you can take some away.

A proper Turkish restaurant. It was such a nice experience. Nice food full of flavour and cooked properly, nice service and friendly. Really big portions. We tried a lot of dishes and apart from one dish we liked all the rest.

Visiting in the UK, this restaurant was recommended by family members living in the neighborhood. It was an excellent suggestion. The food was delicious, savory and flavorful. The portions were much larger than the menu suggested and we enjoyed it all. Your most difficult choice is narrowing your selections from their extensive menu. You won't regret this meal.

My friend who lives around Hampstead introduced me to this place last year and since then we’ve been regular here to enjoy some genuinely good Turkish food!! The service here is always nice and the mixed platter is very generous and serves delicious meats alongside salad and Turkish rice! A must have and definitely bring your friends along! Good value for money!

This time we were served by Havni & Yaren who were great hosts and we recommend them for their attention to detail and hospitality

Chicken and lamb is Halal. Ramadan observed.

German Doner Kebab (GDK)

Delicious food and service, we were kindly served by Sofiane who ensured our experience was exceptional. Recommended for those who want a fast meal and also great quality. Portions are very generous and this is our 4th time either eating in or take away.

I used to be a loyal customer, until I ordered food today - it arrived crushed and spilled, as if the packer was angry, they just threw everything in the package. To top that off, I found a piece of burned plastic wrapper in my doner. Pictures attached. This is unacceptable in any way, shape or form! I will not be ordering from them ever again! Disgusting. I thought you were professionals, not a filthy place!!

I bought a box with extra kebabs, but as you can see, there's nothing extra, just fries and five forkfuls (counted) of kebab. Luckily, I had some ham in the fridge to make a sandwich, or I'd be starving. First and last time I'll eat at your place.
Don't go.

I ordered the breakfast wrap and it was tasty and fresh. The atmosphere in the place was pleasant and comfortable. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, it was a nice experience and I’d be happy to come back.

Terrible excuse for a kebab - even the most basic Bossman can beat GDK for flavour and value.
If you have ever eaten in Maroush or Balkh - prepare for the worst.
Grim.
Also, broken toilet.

At German Doner Kebab we serve lean halal meat (chicken and beef), imported from Germany, across all our branches in the UK. We also use the same meat supplier for our stores in the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, Sweden and Bahrain to ensure consistency throughout the German Doner Kebab international brand. Please ask our staff to see the Halal certificate if you have any doubts.

German Doner Kebab

JustEat UK

The kebabs are usually good. I had the rice bowl recently and you have to pay extra for a sauce that comes free with other box options or kebabs. Customer service in the venue was good but unfortunately the price for what they sell is not reflective of the product quality or quantity. Almost £10 for a rice bowl where you’re paying extra for sauce, and salad  and meat quantity is not reflective of the prices you pay for the quantity you get in a kebab compared for what you get in a rice bowl. The rice bowl was ok but I’ve had better tasting ones than the one I had at GDK Fulham, a lot of rice but little of everything else.

Absolutely amazing experience!
I recently ordered food from German Doner and I must say — everything was spot on. The service was fast, friendly, and professional.

Special thanks to Alekya, who served me with a smile and made the experience even better. She was polite, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.

The food? Incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was tender, the sauces were delicious, and the portion size was generous. You can tell they care about quality and consistency.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a proper, satisfying doner meal. I’ll definitely be coming back — 10/10!

I saw the girl working in the back open the bread with her hands without any gloves which is very disgusting and unhygienic, I haven’t been to GDK for a few years but I thought I would try it today and I was very much disappointed and I won’t be going back! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at GDK and I must say, it was an experience to remember. The food was absolutely fantastic The portion sizes were generous, making it a great value for the quality.
The exceptional service provided by Alekya. From the moment we walked in, Alekya was warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our dining experience special. She made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s not often that you come across such personalized and friendly service, and it really enhanced the overall experience.

I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy great food, with top-notch service to match.

I’ll definitely be back!

I recently visited German Doner Kebab, and the food was really good. The flavors were delicious, and everything was fresh and well-prepared.

One of the staff members, Alekhya, provided excellent customer service. She spoke very politely and treated all customers with great respect and friendliness. Her positive attitude made the experience even better.

Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this place to others

There was some offer for 1 week OG kebab for ,50% off. That not said is50% off meet and salad. I know was only 4.5£ but should be normal kebab not like that!!!I can see you answer for all review the same(robot)... Is not about German dinner kebaby in London!! Is about you in West Ealing!!!

I had an amazing experience at GDK(West Ealing). The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Their kebabs are a step above the rest. packed with quality meat, crisp salad, and delicious sauces that complement each bite. The portions are generous, and everything tastes freshly made.

The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe that makes it great for both a quick bite or a casual sit-down meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right.

If you’re looking for tasty food that’s both satisfying and reasonably priced, GDK (West Ealing) is definitely the place to go.
Highly recommended!

the food is disgustingly burnt i can smell the burn from a distance. UPDATE i just went back and they made me a new one i told them i want the chicken well done, pls let me know if i’m wrong but the second picture, the chicken is almost not done at all.

I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional—they truly make you feel at home. The service is efficient without ever feeling rushed. As for the food, it’s absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish I tried was delicious and clearly made with care. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and outstanding service.

Good kebabs, but when I order with „extra tomato” I get one slice as they don’t care much. And they don’t pick up the phone. Bad hygiene rating plus the extremely lazy attitude tramp the tasty food.

Slick contemporary decor in restaurant offering modern Turkish cuisine

HAZ Plantation Place

Went here for my 40th birthday weekend in London after visiting the Sky Garden and found this Turkish gem right behind there. Food was simply delicious and our waitress was the best. She was very patient and pleasant. The ambience was relaxing, very clean and posh. Loved it here. Also got a bday treat

Shanaz
She provided excellent service and had a lot of conversations with us. Moreover, she was very attentive to the guests' needs, and she is a friendly and proactive person.
We haven't tried Turkish cuisine before. This was a new attempt and a really great experience. The steak was tender, juicy and very delicious.

This place is truly amazing, the stuff was very nice and friendly, we were celebrating my sister's birthday and they brought as a typical dessert free of charge right before leaving. The atmosphere is calm and very elegant I definitely recommend it. Also the place was very clean.

We had a wonderful time at time at HAZ bar and really enjoyed our food. The dishes were delicious and severed very fast. The waitress was friendly and quick to respond. We totally can recommend this restaurant.

Steak was phenomenal, service perfectly charming 👌 You have to try the Long Island Iced Tea!

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

I visited Haz Bishopsgate this week with a group of eight colleagues for an early evening booking. The restaurant was reasonably busy, and we were seated upstairs quickly which was a good start. There was a brief wait before we managed to get someones attention for drinks, as our first request was missed, but once the waiter came over things picked up. Fresh bread, olives and drinks followed shortly after. We ordered a mixed starter platter and had asked for the vegetarian items to be served separately for one colleague. This was acknowledged, although everything eventually arrived across two platters rather than fully separated. Not a major issue, but worth noting. For my main, I had the Chicken Shish Kofte which was soft and succulent. The mains arrived promptly, and by this point the staff were much more attentive. It is a busy restaurant and, unlike some places where waiters check in regularly, there was naturally less of that here given the pace and volume of diners. Overall, a good experience with tasty food and the atmosphere you would expect from a popular City restaurant during the evening rush.

Really nice food. The starters and the mains were great. I had the sikander chicken dish. It was really nice. The only thing is that it's very loud when full (as you'd expect) so not the best place for having a full fledged conversation but otherwise really nice restaurant.

The meat here is halal.

Popped in for a drink and ordered a snack.  Nice bar area, didnt go into the restarant, cocktail was made well, snack was mediocre the one with goats cheese and spinach.  I would try the restaurant though as it wouldn't put me off trying it as the spicy sauce was delicious

Good service. Good food. Booked this restaurant for my wife birthday 🎂 had a great time. Love the interior. Staff were great. Very friendly. However, the price maybe a little too high for some. Other than that, we had a great time.

Haz Turkish was recommended to us, and I am so glad we took the advice. We hit the jackpot almost immediately: Happy Hour with 2-for-1 cocktails! My experience began with the  Jack Sparrow drink — it was absolutely delicious and the perfect start to the evening.

Then the appetizers:  the Babaganoush was truly the star of the show. It was incredibly creamy, wonderfully smoky, and bursting with flavor — truly divine. We also enjoyed the fresh octopus and prawns, alongside a side savory potatoes...and the fresh bread is incredibly filling! We were almost too full to appreciate our meals when they arrived.

Despite our full stomachs, I was incredibly happy to finally enjoy a properly executed Chicken Tagine. The seasoning with the apricots, nuts, and prunes was spot on, and the chicken was tender.  Unfortunately, there was absolutely no room left for dessert.

Hazev

Hazev is one of those places that quietly wins you over — and then suddenly you’re planning your next visit before you’ve even paid the bill.

The food is proper comfort done well. The moussaka was rich and comforting in a “someone’s mum really knows what they’re doing” kind of way, and the lamb shank? So tender the meat basically gave up and fell off the bone on its own. No fight. No drama. Just vibes.

And then came the kunafa… crispy, syrupy, dangerous. The kind of dessert where you say “let’s share” and immediately regret inviting anyone else.

Service deserves a special mention — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without hovering every two minutes asking if you’re enjoying everything while you’re mid-bite.

I write and review food over on Your Food Fantasy, and this is genuinely the kind of meal that reminds me why I love doing it.

All in all, great food, great hospitality, and a lovely spot in Canary Wharf for a relaxed, satisfying meal. Come hungry. Leave happy. Possibly loosen your belt a notch.

Highly recommend.

It was a truly wonderful experience! The meat was exceptionally tender and practically melted in the mouth. They also provided complimentary fresh bread. Furthermore, the starters were just as delightful as the main courses.

The sütlaç I had for dessert was absolutely mouthwatering. It was such a light and pleasant treat. The Turkish tea was also quite good, though perhaps it could have been a bit hotter, but otherwise, I have no complaints.

Additionally, they thoughtfully provided a space for prayer upon request, which was incredibly convenient and allowed me to enjoy my stay without rushing.

Been to Hazev many times and never fails to disappoint.  Had mixed meze starter, mixed grill main and Tricele Caramel for dessert  with a virgin pina colada.  The mixed grill kebab and chicken was succulent and great flavour.  The Tricele was a great way to finish, the milk adding a lovely bit of flavour.  Must go for anyone looking for a Turkish in Canary Wharf.

Wonderful place for Mediterranean cuisine! It’s right on the water, in a great location.
The interior is elegant. It has warm lighting, velvet seating, and nice background music.

The server was wonderful. Very friendly. Very attentive.

The menu is large. It was difficult to decide what to order. In the end I ordered the calamari as an appetizer and my husband ordered the falafel. The calamari was tender and delicious. The falafel was pretty bland. I’ve always had it served with tahini. This was served on hummus, but the hummus was also pretty bland. I would not order that again.

For our entrees I ordered the Masukka and my husband ordered the sea bass. The Masukka was delicious but I bit into a small piece of gray plastic. I told the waiter and he apologized profusely and removed the Masukka from our check and insisted on giving us a complimentary dessert. My husband loved his sea bass. It was excellent. I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc with my dinner. It was lovely.

After our waiter removed the Masukka our bill was £73.

I would return again. The food and service, ambiance, and views were wonderful.

Come for birthdays and celebrations!

Staff were super friendly - we had a birthday party and we brought our own cake. They kindly stored it in the fridge for us until desert. We also had a “Party” light stand and they also allowed us to use it! I’ve gone to many restaurants that won’t allow us to do this, therefore for this reason alone, come to Hazev for any celebrations.

The restaurant is huge - lots of tables of any sizes. It wasn’t full when we were there on a bank holiday evening. so I’d like to think you can probably find spaces on most days.

Food wise was very good. We just came back from Turkey so we were keen to try this. Some dishes were even better than the food we had in Turkey. Best dish was the Hazel Special with Aubergine Cheese sauce - that was so good.

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

Anatolia

Food is delicious here, nice range on the menu, yet to try.
On my first visit I ordered chicken shawarma. Freshly prepared!
Customer service is on point, welcoming and happy to serve their food.
Preparation was fast, I order for takeaway.
The interior is gorgeous, calming atmosphere and hints of Turkish culture decor.
Price for the shawarma is a little on the expensive side for a small 10£. That would be just the wrap on its own.

However, satisfied with my experience and would come back again!

We came for breakfast. The atmosphere was open, warm and cosy. The customer care was amazing. The other customers seemed regular, had a friendly relationship with the workers. Thats when you know the care is good.
The highlight was the shawarma. Best I have had in a long time.
Fair prices. Portion sizes are generous.
Will be coming again.

Service from Vasil was perfect. We ordered a platter 1 to share. It’s say for 2 people but I’m sure 3 can easily indulge. Was a great way to end the day after watching the football.

Working nearby and went in for a quick breakfast. Had the menemen and the portion is huge.
Had to get extra bread to finish it.
Oh the coffee was great too.
Though it was quite around 11am, the staff were friendly and attentive. The waiter chef / boss was very lovely.

Highly recommended.

Anatolia Turkish Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The succulent lamb chops were a true highlight, perfectly seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. Additionally, the salmon and sea bass dishes showcased the chef's expertise, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our needs were met promptly and with a genuine smile. Whether you're a party of two or three, Anatolia offers a charming ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Turkish cuisine coupled with impeccable service, look no further than Anatolia Turkish Restaurant. It's a culinary journey you won't soon forget.

Devran

Friendly restaurant popular with the locals. We were greeted by a very friendly lady with a sparkly hair band and seated immediately. They are so hospitable here and the food was awesome. Generous portions and delicious grilled flavours. Fresh homemade bread is complimentary and we were also offered tea at the end of our meal. We really liked this place. They made us feel so welcome.

Came here for late lunch with family for a birthday. Really friendly welcoming staff. Sat by the windows which open like doors. We had some great starters which were a variety of different things and then a mixed grill for mains which was cooked to perfection. It was a lot of food for the 5 of us we ended up taking home and finishing off later. When they sung happy birthday they brought out the whole shabang which we weren’t expecting and a nice little touch (all staff singing/dancing with a speaker and a little cake). Priced reasonably. Would definitely go back

A lovely dining spot for our group and great birthday experience for my sis in law. Food was flavoursome, having tried many dishes amongst our group of 12. Served with good sized portions. A Special shout out to our waiter Azim , he was top notch! Patient, spot on with recommendations  and friendly with a smile. Will definitely return and  recommend.

I love it here !!! very professional very nice. The food was amazing. The quality was immaculate. My taste buds are literally dancing. Good customer service especially from Musa He was very nice friendly and the food came very quick which I really like. I was not waiting long at all the quality was amazing. The food was very very nice. I highly recommend you coming !! I’ve been here so many times and I will continue to do so :)

Rohit & Musa made sure our group of ladies and sons had a fantastic meal. We all really enjoyed our delicious food, drinks and the wonderful service. They were very accommodating and provided high quality, warm service. Thank you .

Lokma Westfield

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times now, and the food has never disappointed. Everything is well-seasoned and full of flavour. The mocktails are great too, on my last visit I was already stuffed but still ordered two mocktails because they were that good.

The staff are attentive and friendly, and overall I really enjoy coming here. The only downside is that they removed their express lunch menu. When they first opened, my colleagues and I used to come in during our breaks because the express menu was perfect. I’m not sure when it was taken away, but it’s a shame it’s no longer available.

Aside from that, my recent visit was great and I’ll definitely be back.

Had a wonderful experience at Lokma Stratford! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor  but what really stood out was the excellent service. All the gentlemen serving us were incredibly attentive, warm, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Their professionalism and kindness truly elevated the meal.

Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Nice Turkish restaurant in the centre.  Service attentive, tabke was near the window and it was cold outside.  It could gave been warmer where we sat.  Had the lamb shank which was great and tbe mixed kebab.  The lamb was lovely the kebab was a little dry.

When paying ghe bill be mindful that service is already added.  The card machine invites you to add service - naughty !

Lockma is a true gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was incredible- which is hard to find in London sometimes. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. We were so well looked after, and the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. A huge thank you to Alex, the owner, for his fantastic hospitality! He made us feel so welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend Lockma to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. We can't wait to go back!

Came on Saturday and absolutely LOVED IT! Shoutout to Efsa the best waitress I’ve had ever! She’s so kind, has a sense of humour and attention to detail. I would love to be served by her again and again and again!!

As always the food is delicious!

Everything on our menu is Halal. We don't serve any pork or alcohol but we do operate a BYOB policy.

Ojak

Spacious Turkish restaurant across the road from East London Masjid

Maedah Grill

Private Hall Hire above the restaurant. This is a really nice hall, nothing over the top but perfect for a small function (small wedding event). There were around 90 people which just about fitted in. Not sure what their overall capacity is. There is a set menu to choose from and depending on what you go for the price represents that. The hall hire is separate to food charge. The food was good, the chicken tikka starter, the chicken/meat currys were particularly good. Service was good, staff gave were they could extra food. Would of been nice to have zero sugar drinks. Overall very good.

I attended a wedding here at maedah restaurant so I didn’t have a menu. Everything was already catered before hand for £19 a head.

I was in their banqueting hall, which is an average adequate space. I believe they can sit around 150-200 people.

The stage design is also quite nice. It’s elegant and simple as well as minimalistic.

The starters, I didn’t try the spring rolls or somasos but the chicken they served was a STRAIGHT 8/10. The seasoning as well as the texture on the chicken was perfect.
We have asked for seconds and thirds for the starters that’s how good they were.

The mains - chicken curry - lamb curry - daal.

Chicken curry - 8/10. It had a nice sweet taste the chicken. It was different from your other curries you could taste the quality with every bite. It was full of flavour .

Meat curry - 10/10.  The meat was tender, soft, dissolved in your mouth and the sauce that accompanied it was just mouthwatering.

Daal - I personally didn’t try it but my uncle said he was disappointed.

We asked for 4 more meat curries. It was genuinely that delicious.

The service was top notch, waiters on standby everywhere, checking if we have enough - enough water - enough drinks.
Can’t complain.

The only reason it’s a 4 star from me is because they properly rationed that starters and when we asked for more, they said no. Didn’t provide reasoning

At first was surprised that we got a table so quick. Now I understand.
Would not recommend this place. After waiting an age, was served with terrible food and a side order of bad attitude.
Ordered a chicken burger meal, which was a dehydrated patty inside untoasted cheap bun. Asked for medium well steaks, got given rubber and silicone on a plate. When I tried to quietly ask what had happened and give some constructive criticism. Feedback was 'that's how we make it'. Was then surrounded by three waiters trying to intimidate me and my family. When I gave a little push back they got a little louder then walked off. Other customers approached my table to fight my corner.
Theres also a creepy guy sitting at a back table. Staring at us from when we got in, just with a small tea in his hand. Either a manager or owner, not too sure. Saw him behind the counter also.
My bill came to £82 or so, which I was more than willing to pay. (My money was already on the table). Another waiter asked them to give me a discount. After taking a few minutes having a meeting, they offered me a discount.
I didn't eat my food as you'll see in one of the pictures.
Overall, terrible experience, horrible food and despicable staff.
Definitely not returning and will be telling all my own people to avoid.

After reading the negative views I was in two minds about coming here but in the end decided to try it due to the prices

Ordered 2 meal deals consisting of 3 cubes, 3 wings, shawarma and Adana.

To our surprise it was actually decent and for the price you can’t go wrong.
Condiments were nice as well.

Starters were good and the bread was fresh and fluffy.

Portions were filling.

Staff were a bit robotic and disinterested.

Will be returning here very soon. 100% recommend

The flavours from the charcoal grill options, shawarma and fresh salads are of great quality. The pricing is very generous for the shawarma wrap meal deal, great portion and quality. Customer service is always 💯. The complementary free bread for starters was also really nice, fresh and 🔥. My go to place to eat in whitechapel would be here 💪

Bebek Baklava

Fantastic place for Turkish tea and baklava. They had a variety of baklava to choose from. The best one for me was the cold baklava, never had it before and the taste was absolutely amazing.

I liked the decor and the ambiance. I would definitely recommend and I'm sure I will be back again soon. This is now are new dessert place after have super kebab!

This was the best baklava I’ve ever had in London! The host was super accommodating, willing to move the tables for us (we were a big group) and he was super speedy! 100% recommend!

Went for a kebab and wanted to have dessert with the lads found this gem when walking around. We had Turkish tea and baklawa. The milk baklawa was very nice I've never had it before.

I visited this place twice. On my first visit, I bought half a kilogram of baklava for 15 quids, which proved to be good value for money. Even after several days in the refrigerator, its taste remained good.

On my second visit, I stopped in for a quick bite. I ordered a portion of kadayif and a cup of chamomile tea. I noticed they offer a wide variety of teas, each with an artisan touch. The chamomile tea, in particular, was delightful.

While sitting there, I even saw them preparing the baklava, which made me appreciate that all their pastries are homemade and fresh.

I had a disappointing experience at this dessert shop. Despite being marketed as pistachio-based sweets, the products are actually made by mixing green peas with pistachios—an obvious attempt to cut costs while misleading customers. The price is unreasonably high, reaching up to £40, which is double what you would typically pay at some of the best-known and genuinely high-quality shops, where prices rarely exceed £20.

Adding to the frustration, the shop also charges an additional service fee, which is not clearly disclosed upfront. Overall, the quality does not justify the price, and the deceptive ingredient substitution is unacceptable. I would not recommend visiting this place.

Zavi Restaurant

Excellent experience, thanks for having us. I booked this for Mother’s Day and our Mother and the family loved it! Great quality food and very well seasoned food. I really enjoyed the mixed grill and everyone else loved their dishes. Thanks

Tried Zavi in London recently and found it pretty underwhelming. The food was average at best, I’ve had much better for less elsewhere (we ordered the duck, calamari and sucuk). Ordered an Amaretto Sour and an Old Fashioned (around £10–£13 each), and both drinks came half full and packed with ice. Not worth the price.

On the upside, the mocktail was actually quite good, and the server (didn’t get their name) was genuinely friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. Overall, nice service, but the food and drinks didn’t justify the cost.

Excellent food cooked to perfection! Customer service is fantastic and that is a key area for me. Bit noisy but I can live with that. Cocktails were very nice,  non alcoholic Gin fizz is recommended 👌

My first time here. Was covering photography for a 50th birthday. Parking was easy to find on Southwood road as it was a Friday. The restaurant had sections and ours was a private one with its own bar and curtain to give you the privacy you need. You could bring your own DJ, which was quite interesting and a plus too. The portions of food were large and surprisingly I couldn't finish it. The lighting was good for photography and you should be safe without a flash. The customer service guys were fantastic and responded to demands in a jifft. I applaud them. Overall I would recommend this restaurant for an intimate get together of not more than 30 people. There was space to dance as well.

Nice place with good food and reasonable prices. I tried the chicken curry bowl; the spices were warm and fragrant but not overpowering. Portions were satisfying, and service was polite.

Zavi

Hazine

Dined on a Wednesday early evening without a reservation and was greeted and seated promptly by our server Sonata who took the time to explain what some of the dishes were and whether they would be a good accompaniment to the main meals we were ordering.

Food was well presented and full of flavour and I would have no problem recommending this establishment to others.

Overall a throughly good experience.

Such a lovely restaurant, the atmosphere was amazing. We had a great singer which really added to it!
Their food was amazing as well as the service, the staff are so friendly; Erkut especially going above and beyond to accommodate any of our needs, being our personal wine connoisseur for the night.
The overall aesthetic of the restaurant is brilliant. 100% recommend going😊

We chose to try out Hazine because it was on the Tastecard app. My friend called to book a table and let them know we would be using the Tastecard discount (as required).

The restaurant looks good, nicely decorated and the food was nice (if a little overpriced).

However the manager/owner really spoiled the experience - he was deliberately unhelpful when it came to applying the discount, (at one point pretending the app wasn't working and showing instead a random google screen as 'proof'), spoke down to us, was generally quite rude and made it very uncomfortable. It ruined the experience and I wouldn't go back. Just be wary if you are going there due to this discount.

We had Andy as our waiter, very polite, welcoming and made you feel at home. Food was excellent also.

Went here some time back, food was very good but felt a tad bit overpriced. Restaurant itself is nice with a good vibe!

All our food is Halal except our steaks which are cooked on a different grill.

Hilal Restaurant

Great service with food recommendations. The Ayran drink was very delicious! The dips and salad was very fresh and well presented.
The main food was nice but i didn’t like the rice as it wasn’t cooked long enough, the chicken was a little dry and bland too. The meat sarma beyti dish was really nice!! Highly recommend.
Plus they have a masjid corner where you can pray.

Fabulous Turkish Restaurant, there is an extensive menu, and the meals are prepared fresh, after ordering.
And the portions, with the additional bread, salad,etc were enormous.
I had the chicken/ yoghurt dish, whilst my friend had a large chicken shish
Everything was so delicious.
Staff were friendly and welcoming, I will return as soon as possible.
Can recommend

Merhaba,
I had an amazing dining experience at hilal restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting and warm, the staff were attentive and friendly, always ensuring we were taken care of.

The food was outstanding! We ordered the mix grill and can say hands down it was the best Turkish mixed grill I have tasted and I have been to a fair few Turkish restaurants as it is my favourite cuisine, the main course really exceeded all expectations. The staff were very understanding that it was Ramadan we had arrived slightly late due to traffic, they gave complementary soup/ dates and water to start our meal, to break our fast, which was incredibly thoughtful. They also gave us complementary tea and a slice of baklava to finish our meal!
Looking at the place you wouldn’t expect the highly quality, tasty food however, it's a place you can count on for an exceptional experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend! I will be going back soon!!!
harika zaman ve güzel yemek için teşekkürler 🤍

I came to this restaurant after it was recommended by locals as the best Turkish restaurant, and I am so glad we did.

Everything about the food was absolutely perfect,  the fresh and tasty salad, the superb mixed grill, and the Turkish tea to cap the meal off.

The brother and sister team who served my wife and me were the nicest people, and the service was genuinely the best I have ever experienced in any restaurant.

It was a perfect experience in all ways. We left the restaurant knowing we will always remember this incredible meal, the amazing service, and the lovely time we had celebrating her birthday.

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Great Turkish restaurant very clean with nice stews and kebabs.tried the daily stew and friend had aubergine kebab which was delicious. Loads of turkish tea and a free dessert. Very good experience

Hilal

I've worked around Charlotte St for years and never been to @pideoven, I didn't think it would be that great but I decided to get one using Uber Eats as I had a discount code... Boy this lamb and feta Pide was brilliant. So much flavour and taste from the lamb, I looked it up, turns out they marinade and mix with spices to create that deep taste. Wish there was more in my take away box. Cost is £8.50. You can get £10 with your first order using Uber Eats delivery, use the code "Eats-uberhalal" 
Venue is small and busy at lunch times. But I recommend trying the featured item.

@halalfoodguy's review of Pide Fitzrovia on Instagram

One of the restaurants in London that follows the “Traditional Turkish Restaurant” concept. You can order a set menu consisting of a main dish, a side dish, and a salad, or choose individual dishes like pide. Meals were delicious. The staff is very polite and attentive. Serving tea after the meal was not only a continuation of Turkish tradition but also a very kind gesture

Had Super Chicken Box Deal on Friday. Small portion of meat, very bland and hardly any taste to it, ok good hummus and salad, ok rice. Bread seemed old and very chewy. Place clean, but sadly was not happy with food. First time there.

Very nice and quick fast casual option near my hotel. It was nice to have a chiller and healthier dinner meal for my trip. Only complaints I have is the portion felt kind of small but otherwise tasted awesome.

Looking for an opportunity to have a real Turkish artisan and cult food? Look no further. This hole-in-the-wall place is where traditional Turkish hospitality meets traditional tastes. Do it, you’ll be happy.

Fresh food, fast service and super friendly staff. We tried it twice. Once we had a kebab wrap and another time the pide with cheese and the other with meat. We sat outside, hot and tasty meal in the evening with a cup of tea, in the chilly London night.

Shawarma Bros

Ordered their chicken wrap at winter wonderland on the 27th of December for £13 and it was absolutely disappointing and an oil-disaster. The wrap was super slim for the price and the amount of oil dripping from the wrap was shocking, and there was no easy way to eat it without making a huge mess. The taste didn't compensate for this oily experience either. I do not recommend and would advice you see a GP after eating it.

Food was pretty good.  A bit light on the meat.  I liked the crunch from the veggies.  The large size shawarma was big enough for two people.  Food was hot and fresh.

Really yum. I've walked past so often but never been in the need for food. But today I was in the mood for a meaty wrap and it was great. The team was lovely, and the food was tasty, hot, and fast. Will def be back.

I came here for lamb shawarma, but unfortunately, they weren’t serving it that day even though it’s listed on the menu. Ended up ordering the chicken instead, but it was disappointing — very oily and overly spicy. On the plus side, the cabbage inside added a nice crunch and flavor. Also worth noting: they don’t sell beef shawarma at all, which was a letdown.

For years I have been trying to get my parents to try shawarma, and I finally got this to take the leap of faith in London of all places. Lucky for us, right next to Waterloo station, there is a very noticing Shawarma stand.

The stand is very small, but it is very clean. When you walk up to the window you can see the fresh ingredients and meats (lamb and chicken) that they carve up for your shawarmas. There are several shawarma menu items, and a handful of sides.

The attendants were helpful and friendly, but it was difficult to hear what they were saying (spoke softly).

I love shawarma and I've had so many different kinds and some in the Middle East. This one is very tasty and hearty. While it was nice that the shawarma was loaded with veggies, meats, and other components, I would have liked more of the sauce(s).

This is an easy meal to bring back to your place or to take with you on the go. Check out this stand when you get a chance!

Some tips:

Ask for the salt and vinegar for your fries. Also, if you don't love much spicy heat you can ask them for less of the chili sauce. There is no seating in the immediate area, but if you walk a few blocks you can enjoy your shawarma while sitting on a bench along the Thames.

Cheers!!

Gökyüzü Walthamstow

In the heart of Walthamstow Central usually  busy and vibrant atmosphere here. I've been several times and have enjoyed the experience and food.
Spacious
Well lit
Good service
Clean
Modern
A bit Pricey

It's a really nice place for kebab and stuff. Went with family and had  a couple of their platters. The meat was tender and nicely done. The food was delicious. Highly recommended if you like meat. I'd go back there again and again.

Been coming to this chain for years and was very happy when they opened this branch in Walthamstow. It is as excellent as the other ones (Green Lanes and North Circ.) and the standard has not dropped over the years as sometimes happens. The menu is extensive, the meat is juicy and flavoursome, the portions are generous. It's a large restaurant so we have always got a table even without booking but despite that the service is always really good. They have lots of attentive staff so you are never waiting around. We have 2 kids and it's perfect - they enjoy the food, it's a relaxed atmosphere and there is a small playpark outside which is a plus.

Delicious food every time we have dinner here, always very fresh and tasty.

Staff always so lovely especially with children.

Very neat and tidy and clean, the food is so good I felt like I was in Istanbul again!
We had lahmajoun (comes with salad) and burgul, both 10/10 and everyone that works at the restaurant was helpful and nice.
Would go again!

Aziziye Restaurant

The food and atmosphere were fantastic! Yilmaz took great care of us, providing excellent service along with complimentary dessert and Turkish tea. I’d highly recommend visiting this place.

There is simply not enough words to describe my feelings for this place. The food is delicious every time I come here, the service is very polite and timed well, as well as hospitality. The atmosphere is an unbelievable experience for me, the authentic tables, private seating areas are brilliant for anyone who comes here as a couple or a busy family.

Definitely would be on the top of the list of places I would advise for people to enjoy their meals.

great food great hospitality, and the customers are all locals! They know their stuff! The meat is all tender and juicy with that charcoal grill flavour. And the dessert is superb as will! The good taste so hard after a day of fasting . And my bf says it’s good even that he’s not that hungry! And with the history and inside the mosque, a must try in London! And great value as well

Amazing food. We had the platter for 2 and the lamb chops were the best, juiciest lamb chops I have ever eaten! My third time here and will definitely be coming back. Our waiter Yilmaz was very hospitable that took his time and was really friendly. Recommend everyone to come here for the best Turkish cuisine.

Food was nice large portions, we ordered the jumbo platter which was plentiful came with starters too , service was ok could’ve been better downside was we were told we could not sit in the booths even though we went at lunch time and there was no rush other then that overall a nice place second time visiting

Aziziye

The Midyeci Bar & Restaurant

Had lunch at The Midyeci Bar today and honestly it was one of those meals that hits the spot without you even planning for it. I was just looking for something filling and ended up getting the shish kebab with a portion of rice and salad. Pretty standard order, but they actually did it really well.

The kebab came out super fresh, tender, and had that proper charred taste without being dry. You know when the meat is cooked just right and you don’t have to fight with it? Yeah, it was like that. The rice was fluffy and had that nice buttery vibe without being greasy, which I really appreciated. And the salad was simple but fresh — crunchy veggies, nothing soggy or sad-looking, which I feel like happens too often at some places.

The overall vibe of the place was chill and very “Turkish street food but indoors,” if that makes sense. Nothing pretentious. The staff were relaxed but still helpful, not overdoing it with check-ins. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit down for a proper meal but also just pop in quick without it feeling weird.
