    One of my local spots. Doesn't look great from the outside but you'll be sure to find fresh food, cheap (9pounds for 2 courses at lunch), good service and a terrace for the sunny days.

    Their takeout meze is a great option for lunch. Very generous bread portion on the side. It should cost you about the same as a soggy baguette and a bottle of coke from the Pret opposite, too,

    £12pp meze platter with meat off the grill. £9.90 two course lunch. Great value for the area and very tasty Turkish food.

    Foods are delicious especially lamb shish. Homous is very tasty. MY fav Turkish food place. The ambience is very cosy.

    Great for a coffee and sandwich, nice spot to sit in the sunshine, albeit a tad noisy with all of the traffic. Can't complain though, there are few sunny places to sit in London.

    Nice little neighborhood Turkish Restaurant. The service was good and so was the food. Would have liked a little more

    The lamb is incredible. The complementary olives with oil while waiting are also very good.

    This is a surprisingly good place. Hummus and Cacik were great. Focus on the Turkish food and not the English one.

    The Börek is excellent and the quality/price ratio is more than fair.

    Their homemade chili sauce is very tasty, and the grilled lamb is super tender.

    Went on a Sunday and it was not busy. Waiter said food would be 15 minutes due to a kitchen problem...45 minutes later he said one more minute and we waited and food didn't come so we left!
