Bar&Restaurant Besi — Restaurant in London

Loved their Turkish coffee :) Comes as an expresso shot size so you have been warned, but its a tasty experience, just don't drink the dregs as its the coffee grind. I ended up having two as it was that good and strong. Will take a picture next time!

Had the chicken wrap and that was delightful, filled with fresh tasty salad and accompanied by some spicy sauce.

Staff were nice and friendly any questions we had about food they kindly explained as it was my first Turkish food experience. Prices are similar to other restaurants in the area. Coffee prices were very reasonable. They have nice outdoor seating which they have tried to jazz up considering it's based on North Street which isn't the most atmospheric of places but the planting which encloses the seating area does soften and makes the place look nicer which shows the owners have tried their best. If only the council would help with planting planters to help make northstreet look better, so that it wouldn't look so rough and help entice more business to local businesses like this place as cafes on this road have all slowly closed up and being bought up...

Ordered online and they came only four mins after the estimated time. Very friendly delivery man as well. Their chips and salmon are lovely. No issues with that, aside from the lemon slices added. Just a shame about the freshness of their rice and the four pieces of chicken shish, as it hasn't been hot this week. What went wrong? Seriously, it stank and had obviously gone off and I have mild stomach ache as a result. The fresh salad consists of: raw red onions, braised red cabbage, cucumber, grated carrots, raw green chillies, raw green peppers, lettuce and tomato slices. It was fresh, thankfully. Also, they don't seem to read the notes so it wasn't spicy like I asked nor did the chips have the extras of seasoning that I asked for. Wasn't expecting the orange polystyrene packaging for the salad than the foil containers used by other Turkish restaurants I've eaten from. If the shish dish was fresh, they'd got...

So I came here for a takeaway, I ordered the Besi Special Platter for 5 people, £50 as shown on the takeaway pamphlet menu. The waitress then tried to charge me £55 saying that the takeaway menu was incorrect, to which I asked her why did she hand me that menu if you knew is was incorrect! The worst thing was she was unwilling to honour the price in the pamphlet menu. (so that's one more customer lost.) Secondly the amount of meat in the besi special platter is hardly enough for 3 people, just full of rice as a base and hardly any lamb or chicken doner. Although the food tasted ok it was hardly worth the price of £55.

Try the chippy next door from a decent...
