Really enjoyed this place! Good food and something different. Not cheap, but with Metallica and Pantera on the sound system and friendly, helpful staff I'll be back for sure.

Love it! Although I’m not sure that “Turkish” is the first adjective. Cheeky, modern, inexpensive, casual and delicious are more like it. Don’t miss the Rueben Steamed Bun.

Wow this place is AWESOME. The bread with bone marrow is a fitting tribute to the original at St John. Everything we had was 10/10: steak with snail butter was perfect. Highly recommend 🥩

Good food, challenging conventional ways of preparing and combining flavours. We really enjoyed every dish, they've set the bar high. The cocktails are also delicious. Not for everyone. Be brave.

Seriously cool atmosphere and delicious food. Everything from the aubergine dip to the lamb girl was great, and the fried chicken wings were insanely flavoured.

All the food is superb but the bone marrow flatbread is a particular highlight. So good!

Make a superb whiskey sour. Menu is very meaty and changes regularly. Very busy even on Tuesday but they can text you when a table is free.

Interesting combinations of food but most dishes were just a little off - too sour, spicy, overwhelming, unnecessary... Jerusalem artichoke starter was good and I'd recommend getting one of the breads

Very inventive menu fusing a pizza oven, lots of curing and fermenting. Do-able but not great for vegetarians.

Been wanting to try here for a while! Enjoyed the food but just felt like it was pretty expensive for the portion size, so not sure I'll be back. Would recommend the £16 (ouch) Reuben though!

top nosh. lamb offal flatbread and dexter rib are highlights.

Mapo Tofu with mushrooms and hash brown was the standout dish for me. Loved it.

Bone marrow fantastic (almost St. John standard). Drinks are expensive given the tiny glassware. Loud music not for everyone, but makes for a fun environment

Pretty special. Whisky sour is one of the best cocktails in London. Food is delicious

Pork and Jam Doughnut. Tofu fried eggs. Ruben. All excellent.

Red onions with pomegranate molasses & yoghurt is delicious. Can I have one everyday please?

Squid ink & cod roe flatbread out of this world good.

Yummy food. Not for people who are picky about what they eat :)

Killer meats, and flatbreads, bring a healthy appetite and dig in.
Manny KrantzApril 27, 2017
The flatbreads are unreal.
Carl MartinJuly 18, 2019
Anything with bone marrow. Throw it at your face.
Kris GostynskiSeptember 13, 2019
Dishes were interesting, but not great, given the price and portion size, poor value for money
