A nice gem in the heart of Soho.
Sat by the bar and had a really good time overlooking the talented chefs at work. Ambience was warm and welcoming.
Ordered some cold and warm appetizers, a main, and a dessert and everything was wholesome and delicious!

Would highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this place during our trip to London without intending to eat Turkish food as a Turk in London. However, the captivating decor and warm ambiance caught our attention right away. Upon perusing the menu, we realized it was a Turkish restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. Everyone in the restaurant was incredibly welcoming; the manager, chef, and all the servers made us feel at home. As for the food – I cannot express enough about its taste. It stands out as one of my best Turkish food experiences, even compared to those in Turkey. Each dish offered amazing, rich flavors and textures. We particularly loved the stuffed eggplant, muhammara, beef skewers, and wood-fired prawns. Additionally, they have a great selection of Turkish wines. We opted for a bottle of red Chamlija wine. This place was the highlight of our trip to London, surpassing some Michelin-starred restaurants we visited during our stay. For anyone seeking authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, this is an absolute must-visit place.

One of the best Turkish places I have ever tried, the atmosphere is cozy so we had a great time. The food is wonderful, bringing some of the less known turkish specialties to the table with an amazing talent. The tried the cöp sis, the icli köfte as well as the sütlac and baklava. Will go again to try other dishes. Congrats to the team making that possible. Recommend that highly!

This place is really amazing. The food is out of this world tasty. Then baclava was the best I’ve ever had. Had an interesting twist with cream but worked very well.

Delicious and flavourful! The menu was amazing, I felt like I couldn't go wrong with whatever I chose. The pistachio baklava was an absolute delight as well.
I was able to find lighter, more vegetable rich options which can be hard to find when you're out, so it was a particularly wonderful meal to have admist a day of shopping! There are definitely some very substantial choices if you prefer.
