I love this restaurant. I have been coming here for over 15 years. Sometimes the hanging decorations change, sometimes the dishes change, but the core is always the same. Excellent food. Authentic. Relaxed.
north london is supposed to be home to a fair number of turkish restaurants. i happen to have two of these on the road that i live on. one on highbury park and the other up blackstock road. a saturday afternoon found me at iznik , in the company of o and i. there is no mistaking the turkish identity of iznik. its décor bears the unmistakable stamp of turkish tiles and lamps. the lighting is dim and gives the space a tavern like feel. what i love about turkish food is the wholesome flavors, usually emphasized with very little spice save salt, some herbs and lemon. the turks love yoghurt and will use it to add a creamy and yet tangy taste to their foods. o's warm mezze of courgette and feta cheese fritters came with a yoghurt dip with cucumber, garlic and mint; a turkish rendition of greek tzatziki or asian raita. i started with a lentil soup pureed to smoothness with a hint of stock and finished with a swirl of olive oil and a scattering of herbs. our mains were substantial and we foun
Really amazing food. One of the best Turkish restaurants in North London. Really good small plates, meat is cooked beautifully. Salads taste like grandma made them. Superb gluten free & vegetarian options too. Great after an Arsenal game. My photos are shocking because I couldn’t wait to eat 😂. Recommend highly.
