Izgara — Restaurant in London

Yea this place looks nice but that's about it. The food is just meh, nothing really stands out. Much better Turkish restaurants out there. The place was busy because it had just opened. Lots of different types of customers, families, couples, groups. But there was nothing that really stood out for me. Service was really slow. Having to prompt the servers to actually tend to our table. Food and drinks took ages and it wasn't really all that. Falafels were dry, portions I felt were small for the expensive price charged. My friend who had meat found it awful, dry and tasteless. After we got the bill they made a mistake and did not take money off for happy hour drinks until prompted. And on top of that they added a service charge which is a real bug bear of mine. The waiter gave no option to take it off which I find really cheeky overall service they could be more polite and not rude, we are the paying customers.... It's optional then why assume we want to pay. Honestly don't go here. Waste of time and money. You'll leave unfulfilled and lighter on your wallet....

Second time eating here.

We booked a table for 9, spent over £350 but was told we had to leave after 2hours as other customers were waiting for a table! Wow.

The food is pricey and the restaurant is cramped as they’ve tired to maximise seating at the expense of customer comfort.

Meat quality isn’t anything special - £120 for a sharing mixed platter with only a few pieces of chicken / lamb cubes and three chops. The white rice was dry and tasted stale.

I asked if they can offer us complimentary tea, as is the norm in any Turkish restaurant, and as they’ve done in the past, but was told that Turkish tea had ‘run out’ despite seeing other customers drinking Turkish tea. I mean just say no sorry we can’t instead of an untruth.

They only care about money and wanted us out ASAP so they could bring the next lot of paying customers in.

I will not...

I live 5 minute from this restaurant and wanted to try this fancy Turkish place just recently opened, I have never expected that my dish would look like British stew served in a Turkish restaurant! I had ordered Iskender X 2, the waitress mentioned she can serve it with mix meat, chicken and lamb, but when it arrived, it was served in two plates, one plate with chicken and the other with lamb. I had then noticed to make the quantity portion to look fuller they had added bread pieces to both dishes, OMG! We was no rice or bread served on the side with this awful dish, only a bowel of largely cut Lettice with salad, no dressing, just a awful looking bowel of salad, which I believe my 10 years old daughter would of done much better! I will defiantly not recommend this place to any friends/family, extremely disappointed, compared with the...
