Antepliler

I think the reviewer really should have made more of a mention of the first place mentioned, which is certainly not a 'low-key cafe', but a wonderful and (in London) unique establishment which specialises in offal. Their kebabs of liver, hearts, sweetbread, kidneys and testicles are served beautifully with bread, spices and salad. They also serve delicious stews. They are also very friendly, and there are often women as well as men eating in there. It is a great place to stop to get a very cheap and high quality meal.

Being a good food admirer, I can assure you this restaurant is on the top of the list of best authentic Turkish. Kebap is one of the strong branches of Turkish cuisine and antepliler is the most nearing one in London. Service needs to be improved though in terms of communication skills and meeting&greeting. My strongest criticism would be on the size of tables and esp chairs. I feel like Gulliver in Lilliput Island there.

I have been going to this restaurant for a long time and I can undoubtedly say (due to my fussy nature) that they serve the best Lahmacun!!! Never had a bad dining experience there and the waiter though not the friendliest in the world still put up with my demands of persistantly asking for a serving of the old salad they use to give with their food :) You cant go wrong really, at £2.50 a lahmacun eating in or £1.50 for a takeaway!! Cant comment on their kebabs as never go for those but try mercimek kofte (a cold dish made from lentils) as a starter very yummy!

we went here tonight 6 of us. the staff were unfriendly, rude and had no manners. we were not happy with the service. the prices were very expensive for the quality of the food this was low. because of the recommendations from friends and from these reviews we thought and anticipated much better. we were very disappointed.

I eat here last night as where we planned to eat could not fit us in. We had to wait for a table but hey it's Saturday night and we had not booked. It was well worth the wait as the food was top draw. My wife and I took her sister who had never eaten in a Turkish resturant so we ordered loads of different dishes and they were all great my favourite being a pride with mince lamb and spices. We will be returning agoan as I have not eaten better else where.

Wow, this place seems to divide opinion! I don't think service is their strong point but considering how busy they are at all times, I'm not sure what they could do about that - more staff would not be the answer! Better than Cirrik and Mangal in Dalston, I adore the bustling atmosphere, I've never had anything approaching a bad meal here, the quality of meat is superb, and funnily enough one of the things that stands out the most for me is the rice... seriously, it's a cracking dish on its own...

First time in a Turkish restaurant (25/11, before Spurs game). My best mate and I took the advice of the friendly waiter, ordered 2 starters to share followed by the lamb tava stew...which would feed 4 as tapas style dishes. Everything was excellent, only downside was 55 minute wait for stew, but believe me it's worth it. So my tip, order ahead or try the kebabs, but don't take the turnip(b?) juice.

This restaurant is simply amazing! Away from my (turkish) family and now living in the UK i sooo miss good turkish food, so my friend & I decided to go there last Thu. It was not overcrowded, everybody was very friendly. We had 1 sucuklu Pide, 1 Mercimek (red lentils) soup, 2 Lahmacun with side salad, 1 Ayran, 1 Coke and 2 Teas for only 17,80pounds. In contrast to the restaurants we been to in London city, I can say that this play serves quality meals and it's not as expensive as in some pubs where you have to pay 14pounds for a fish&chips. I certainly will go there on my next visit, which hopefully will be very soon!

What a fabulous place to eat. Hot food, well cooked with delicious sides to accompany it. I always leave completely satisfied, and if we cannot finish it all they pack it for us and we take it home. I don't visit london as often as I would like, but this restaurant I would make the 400 mile round-trip for...not kidding. Eat here, it is authenthic, great service too. (try the lamb with cheese and pistachios)

Vegetarians! Look out for the "Vege Plate" stashed away in the long list of mains: it's well worth visting just for this dish of mixed meze, rice, pastries, and other yummies. Vegans had better pass.
