Halal Reviews for Zahter Carnaby

We had a truly wonderful experience at Zahter Restaurant in London. From the very first moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a kind Turkish lady at the entrance who made us feel instantly comfortable and at home. Our waitress, Ms. Seda, provided exceptional service throughout our visit — she was professional, polite, and incredibly friendly. Her sincere smile and warm hospitality truly made our day. We sat by the window, which gave us a beautiful view and a cozy atmosphere. The place itself is elegant, clean, and filled with positive energy. The tea was served immediately, and everything we ordered arrived perfectly prepared and full of authentic Turkish flavor. Every detail, from the presentation of the food to the attentiveness of the staff, showed real care and quality. We were very impressed by how welcoming and genuine everyone was. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both like a guest and like a friend at the same time, but Zahter managed to create exactly that feeling. We left with smiles on our faces and will definitely come back again. A big thank you to Seda and the whole team for making our visit so special. We highly recommend Zahter Restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Turkish cuisine, great service, and a warm, heartfelt atmosphere in the center of London. 🌿🇹🇷

This Turkish restaurant in Soho offers an amazing feast! I highly recommend trying the Ali Nazik, börek, hummus, beef shish, and baklava — everything was incredibly delicious. The staff were warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. It’s impressive that the restaurant received Michelin recognition in both 2024 and 2025, yet the prices remain very reasonable for the quality and taste they deliver.

A night to remember! Booked for dinner with the missus, had no idea what to expect going in (except for the baklava), and was completely blown away how amazing the food is. Went for the bread with Smokey yoghurt dip, the other dip (1st of the small plates, the orange/red one in the pics) which was a must get in my view, then the lamb+beef mince, spinach pastry, and wrapped with the baklava. Would recommend all of them. The reason I came away so impressed is despite the beautiful and complex flavors of each dish, they were all unique, so each dish is taking your taste buds to discover new realms. A lot of the times, when it comes to cuisines from this region, it’s easy for all the dishes to merge and blend into one flavor, making things repetitive and boring. It is the complete opposite at the Zahter. And it’s all down to a great menu design, spot on recs by the waiting staff and of course some superb cooking by the chefs! This would become my default Turkish spot in London whenever someone asks me.

Yummyyy! Loved the Ali Nazak (ground beef and lamb with aubergine). The pastry with spinach was good too. The garlic labneh and the bread was such a good starter. Slightly on the higher price side.

Nice restaurant in a good location in London. The food was all tasty, but a little overpriced for the quantity. It would have definitely been nice to have more bread or the waitress to explain that we should have ordered two of them. The waiting staff generally were very inattentive. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks, and we had to go inside to pay because no one was around. Overall, the food is delicious but the price is too high for the level of service and portions.
