“ The food here is perfection! Lovely flavours and portions! We always stop by Diyarbakır when we want solid grilled food.. their only let down is the service can be hit and miss sometimes.. understandably it can get busy on weekends but the some of the staff do not communicate at all during this time and you can be left to be feeling ignored. I’d stick to midweek trips to avoid this ”
“ Celebrated my birthday here and straight off the bat we were pleased with the interior. Feels luxurious! The food was all cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature and timing. Ferhat served us and was consistently attentive to our table, making sure we were fine. He even offered us free Turkish desserts and tea! Generous and kind of him to suggest. Another man, who seemed to be the manager was as attentive as him and visited our table twice. It’s very rare to get a service as such. I will definitely come back to this lovely restaurant and for sure recommend it to friends!! ”
“ Had a great experience at this Turkish restaurant! The food was delicious — fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special thanks to Zana, who served us — he was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend! Thank you Zana ”
“ I looked online to find the best Turkish food in London and concluded that this might be it. I was right! So worth traveling from South London for. SARMA VEGGIE BEYTI Fried vegetables wrapped in lavash bread with cheese, grilled over charcoal, topped with special tomato sauce with finely burned butter & yoghurt This is best vegetarian dish I've tasted in years. YOĞURTLU ADANA Grilled lean, tender minced lamb, skewered chopped on a bed of cube cut bread, topped with special tomato sauce, strained yogurt & finely burned butter sauce The burnt butter in this was wild! It felt like I was eating Michelin star food. The staff were lovely. Efes draft was great. It's expanding soon. Fantastic. 2025 update - This place is still superb. It's my favourite restaurant in London. ”
