Testi Stoke Newington

I went to Testi to order a takeaway. As soon as I came through the door, I was warmly greeted by Evra, who gave me a menu and patiently waited while I chose my meal. I decided to sit between the main door and the outside door, but within 30 seconds she popped her head through and said, “It’s too cold to be sitting out here, come in, sit by the bar and I’ll get you a cup of Turkish tea.” ☕ After a long, cold and wet day, that small act of kindness made all the difference. She later checked in to see if I wanted another tea and made sure I was comfortable while I waited. When my food was ready, she handed it over with a smile and even added some baklava to top off the meal. Evra, thank you so much for your hospitality. You were warm, considerate, and genuinely caring. That is the kind of service that stays with you long after you have left. 🫶🏾 I have been to Testi a few times and the service is always exceptional. The food is delicious, the quality is high and the staff go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back. 10/10 🙌🏾

Hands down the best Turkish in the area. Often overlooked but I’ve been coming here for over a decade and every friend I bring with leaves in agreement. An absolute banger of a spot. Just get a platter and hum quietly to yourself in delight until your food arrives.

Testi has been my favourite Turkish restaurant for years now and i’v never been disappointed However they recently redecorated and reopened and i went along to today and i have to say i was a little disappointed. The service was very slow, had to ask for bread, the chips were very oily and crunchy. The amount of chilli sauce given isn’t enough for one person let alone a group. I really hope these things can improve as I want to return.
