Kibele is an attractive restaurant in Great Portland Street serving up modern and traditional Turkish food. After a warm welcome, and some oohing and aahing over the beautiful décor we got stuck into the vast menu with some helpful recommendations from the staff. The restaurant is split over two floors with downstairs offering live entertainment four nights a week. On Wednesday’s Kibele have a harpist, Thursday & Friday a live band and on Saturday’s a belly dancer! We were super impressed with the cocktails at Kibele. We started off with a Kinky Bramble (great name!) with Tanqueray Gin, Chambord, Fresh Lemon and Egg White and Mr Ocho with Hendrix Gin, Cucumber, Ginger, Basil (both £9.50) which were both beautifully presented. The lovely Miles then rustled up a cocktail of his choice. He made an amazing Strawberry and basil frozen daiquiri with Havana rum, sugar syrup, dehydrated lime wheel and of course fresh strawberry and basil. What a cocktail! Alongside some tasty bread, gourmet hummus (topped with pastrimi!) and olives, we started with the Sucuk & Hellim: grilled beef garlic sausage & halloumi cheese (£6.50) . The sausage was meaty and flavoursome and the halloumi grilled to perfection. It was a truly fantastic dish. We also sampled the Falafel: Fava Beans and Chick Peas Vegetable Fritters (£6) and Kuskonmaz: Grilled Asparagus salad bedded on rocket leaves, cherry tomato, pine nut and parmesan cheese (£7.50). We absolutely recommend tucking into a few starters before tucking into your main meal! We tried the Karisik Izgara: Mixture of chicken, lamb, kofte, lamb chops marinated, skewered and grilled (£19.50) and the Mussaka: Sauteed layers of aubergine, courgette, potatoes with minced meat topped with a bechamel sauce and bake (£16). We absolutely loved the mixed grill – the meat was so tender and flavoursome and it was a generous portion. A highly recommended dish! The Mussaka lacked flavour for us – the consistency was great but we wanted a bit of a punch! To finish we obviously had to have some Baklava: sweet pastry of layers of filo dough filled with chopped pistachio and sweetened with syrup (£5.95) (characteristic of the cuisines of the former ottoman empire). It was an absolute showstopper! The Kunefe: sweet shredded Phyllo filled with mozzarella cheese sweetened with syrup, topped with vanilla ice cream & cracked pistachio, served warm (£8.95) was an absolute delight. We are so glad this was recommended as it was melt in your mouth delicious. Kibele restaurant in Great Portland Street offers fantastic food and wonderful service. It also offers a set menu for £45pp where can have a mixture of starters, main dishes and dessert. The staff were lovely and the entertainment offers something special!

We had the pleasure of dining at Kibele Restaurant in London on a late Friday evening at 9 PM. Despite it being peak hours, we were seated promptly without any issues, which was a relief considering the busy atmosphere. The restaurant’s ambiance was inviting, with a warm and cozy setting that immediately made us feel at ease. We started our meal with calamari as an appetizer, which quickly became a hit with the kids. The calamari was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—making for a delightful start to our evening. For the main course, we ordered the "Just for the 2 of Us" dish, which was more than enough for the four of us. This large platter was an absolute feast, featuring a selection of grilled lamb chops, lamb ribs, grilled chicken, lamb kebabs, chicken kebabs, and chicken wings. Every single item on the plate was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and incredibly tender. The lamb chops, in particular, were a standout with their rich, smoky taste that left us wanting more. The main dish was accompanied by a fresh beetroot salad, spicy rice, and tzatziki. The salad was refreshing and complemented the grilled meats perfectly, while the spicy rice added a nice kick to the meal. To top off our meal, we indulged in two desserts: chocolate cake and kunefe. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, a chocoholic's dream. However, the kunefe truly stole the show. It was absolutely fantastic, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a delightful texture. It was, without a doubt, one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in London. Our meal concluded with a complimentary Turkish tea, which was a soothing end to a fantastic dinner. Even the kids enjoyed the tea, which was a pleasant surprise. The waiters were super nice, welcoming, and extremely friendly. We loved talking to them, learning about the food, the restaurant, and even getting to know them personally! Their warmth added a special touch to our dining experience. By the way, downstairs is where the DJ plays—just note that minors aren't allowed there. We look forward to dining here again. Love from Seattle, USA! Pros: - Prompt seating even during peak hours. - Delicious and well-prepared food. - Generous portions, especially the "Just for the 2 of Us" dish. - Exceptional desserts, particularly the kunefe. - Complimentary Turkish tea to end the meal. - Friendly and welcoming staff that enhances the dining experience. Cons: - None that we experienced!

We recently held our wedding reception at Kibele Lounge, and we can’t thank Lucia and her team enough for making it an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Lucia was in constant communication, offering creative ideas and thoughtful personal touches for the décor, menu, and drinks to accommodate our Italian guests. Her professionalism, organization, and keen attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly and on schedule, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the evening with our guests. Zulfu’s DJ skills were exceptional. He perfectly read the room, effortlessly blending English, Persian, and Italian tracks to create the ideal atmosphere. The balance of music was flawless, and the energy on the dance floor was electric—even between courses, which we never expected! Our guests were amazed and had the time of their lives. A huge thank you as well for taking the time to meet with us months before the wedding to prepare the music, personalize our entrance with our chosen songs, and set up the spotlight and smoke effect. Our guests were completely surprised and said it was the best bride and groom entrance they’d ever seen. We truly appreciate all the hard work and professionalism right up to the very end. Thank you for making our wedding so special! We highly recommend Kibele for any private event. It offers excellent value for money paired with five-star service.

Kibele in London is a gem of a restaurant that offers an exquisite dining experience, blending traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern twist. From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for a memorable meal. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kibele and opted for the Kibele Mix Grill Kebab Platter. Simply put, it was amazing. The platter was a carnivore's dream, featuring a mouthwatering selection of perfectly grilled meats. Each piece was tender, juicy, and bursting with authentic flavors. The lamb chops were succulent, the chicken skewers were beautifully seasoned, and the kabab was simply to die for. The attention to detail was evident in every bite, with each meat perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. The accompanying sides of fresh salad, and delicious dips complemented the meats wonderfully, making the meal well-rounded and satisfying. Service at Kibele was impeccable, and our server, Alena, was particularly outstanding. She went out of her way to ensure that our dining experience was perfect, offering insightful recommendations and attending to our needs with a warm and friendly demeanor. Whether you're a fan of Turkish cuisine or new to it, the Kibele Mix Grill Kebab Platter is a must-try. I highly recommend Kibele for anyone seeking a delightful and flavorful dining experience in London.

Excellent Turkish restaurant in Great Portland Street. The food s delicious and we went for the 3 course lunch menu at £18.95 each, which is very good value We shared plates of warm flatbread olives and borek (feta and spinach filled filo pastry)for starters and then we both had myelin liquid (slow roasted lamb with pears, apricots and flaked almonds with couscous). The lamb was so soft and tender. There were plenty of other choices. After a short edit- at our request- we had the classic baklava to finish with hot strong Turkish coffee and peppermint tea. This is a pretty restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. We said we were there for a leisurely lunch and the staff listened, not bringing the next course until we were ready. We went quite early on a Monday lunchtime, but it soon started filling up giving a friendly buzz to the place. I understand they have entertainment in the evenings so I think there is a very high probability that we will return to sample the entertainment because if is as good as the food and atmosphere on Monday lunchtime it will be perfect. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely lunch and great service.
