Just got done with a tough exam and all of was wanted some comfort food to sooth our mood. Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and it lived up to the hype. They were very accommodating to the large group and the menu options felt like we were spoilt for choice ❤️ - lovely delicious food!!!

I saw on TripAdvisor that this place was voted as the #1 restaurant in London so we thought we must try it.

It was a nice place but I definitely wouldn't call it the best eatery in London - it's not even the best Turkish restaurant in London!

I booked a table via phone & glad I had as it was busy on a Sunday afternoon and they were turning people away.

It's quite a small place. Walking distance to angel station & with limited on street paid parking nearby.

An added bonus is that it serves halal food and the prices are quite reasonable. Service is hit & miss but overall very friendly & welcoming - we just had to ask for a few things more than once.

Between 3 of us we ordered hummus, cucumber yogurt & halloumi for starters. This came with fresh warm bread and all were great except I found a piece of plastic in the yogurt. I was a bit disconcerted when the waitress asked me if I'm sure it was from the restaurant - not sure where else it would have come from?!? They took it away & discovered it had come from the plastic container and apologised profusely. They didn't charge us for the down & also provided a free aubergine starter too.

For main we went for the mixed grill & lamb shish iskender - both were very good and plenty to share between 3 ladies.

The waiter bought over baclava and asked if we wanted to free hot drinks to compensate for the plastic piece incident which was a very nice gesture. The baclava was probably the highlight of the meal & we asked for seconds - it was so yummy!

Overall it was a great lunch but its unlikely I would go back and don't think it warrants that #1 spot.
