Halal Reviews for The Iskelé

Lovely restaurant! The food was really yummy, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. I'm veggie and had a meze selection, the falafel and borek especially were very nice (probably the best borek I've had!). Others I was with had the chicken skewer and lamb cutlets, both enjoyed very much, and the desserts (Knafeh, tiramisu) and cocktails too. Special thank you to the staff for helping with my allergy related queries in a helpful and knowledgeable manner. Will definitely look to visit again next time we're in the area! Info - we were a table of three, we booked for 4:30 on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet when we first arrived, but started to fill up by the time we left an hour or two later, though wasn't completely full. Definitely worth trying for a walk in but if you want to go in the evening on a Sat I would recommend booking. It was very conveniently located for the barbican. The toilets were clean and well stocked!

The Iskele Restaurant & Bar, located on Whitecross Street in London, offers a delightful fusion of traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern twist. During my recent visit, I opted for the 10oz Scottish Sirloin Steak, cooked to a perfect medium. The steak was tender and juicy, showcasing the quality of the meat. Accompanied by crispy, golden chips, the dish was both satisfying and well-executed.   To complement my meal, I had a refreshing glass of Coca-Cola. The service throughout was attentive and friendly, with staff ensuring that all needs were promptly met. The restaurant’s ambiance strikes a balance between cozy and energetic, featuring warm lighting and tasteful décor that reflects its Mediterranean roots. This creates an inviting environment suitable for both intimate dinners and group gatherings.   The Iskele’s menu is diverse, offering a range of traditional mezes, grilled meats, and seafood dishes. While the steak was a highlight, the menu also features other notable items such as the Adana Kebab and Baklava, which have received praise from other patrons. The restaurant caters to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and halal options, ensuring a broad appeal.   In terms of pricing, The Iskele falls within the mid-range category, offering good value given the quality of food and service. The portion sizes are generous, leaving diners satisfied without being overwhelmed. Overall, my experience at The Iskele Restaurant & Bar was highly enjoyable. The combination of flavorful cuisine, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere makes it a noteworthy destination for those seeking authentic Turkish fare in London.

Three of us had a meal here tonight for my wife's birthday. The food was, as always, excellent. The service was superb. The young lady serving us was an absolute angel. She brought out a large piece of tiramisu with a candle and sang happy birthday. We had a great time and I look.forward to our next visit.

We had a beautiful meal here and booked it through The Fork where we managed to get a generous discount. Staff were attentive and pleasant especially the lovely lady who made sure we had everything we needed. The serving sizes aren't as big as we're used to at other Mediterranean restaurants, but found that it was enough to satisfy the whole family, but don't expect huge portions here. They however do not disappoint in taste so everyone's still very happy and looking forward to our next visit.
