    From the moment I stepped into Istanbul Finchley, I was transported straight to the heart of Turkey. The restaurant's elegant yet welcoming ambiance sets the perfect tone for a delightful dining experience. Warm wooden accents and soft lighting create an inviting atmosphere, while the subtle aroma of fresh spices and grilled meats fills the air. The service was impeccable. Our server, Ayse, greeted us with a friendly smile and guided us through the menu with great enthusiasm. She was knowledgeable about the dishes and took the time to explain the origins of the ingredients and the traditional cooking techniques used. It was clear that the staff passionate about sharing Turkish culture and cuisine with their guests. The portion sizes are fairly big and the food is very filling. This is a must try!!!!

    I recently visited Istanbul Finchley, and I was genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy, authentic vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great service without being overbearing. Now, let’s talk about the pastry—absolutely delicious. Freshly made, flaky, and perfectly golden, it had just the right balance of crispiness and softness. You can really tell they care about quality and tradition. Whether you’re going in for a quick bite or a relaxed afternoon treat, their pastry is a must-try. One of the highlights of my visit was the chef’s special, which features a generous serving of Turkish lamb and chicken kebabs. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor—perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. You could tell it was made with real care and attention to detail. It’s the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving something fresh, flavorful, and satisfying!

    Ahmed gave our table of 16 ladies his best shot and was perfect. Also put on music for us to dance. Added birthday music appropriately when the cake got served. Plates etc were presented so we didn’t have to ask. The prices we feel are very reasonable thanks we all enjoyed our evening

    I had an order delivered. The ribs were quite plain as you can see in the picture but the meat itself was nice. The chips were okay. The baklava was nice. I asked them to swap the rice for half rice half chips and they gave me chips. Overall it was okay.

    From the moment we stepped in, Istanbul Restaurant was nothing but an absolute delight. Food is great and the vibe is better. I want to mention Zerkat for his hospitality and simply making it feel like home. I’m a regular and I wonder why I waited this long to put a review to them. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a good time!
