Sunday family lunch at @thegrillclublondon.
We kicked off with warm pittas and garlic yoghurt and chilli garlic dips (very moreish).
Starters: Octopus, prawns, calamari and hummus kavarna (sliced lamb on hummus).
Mains: 'Chef creation' of Ishkender with some aubergine and yoghurt mixed on top (as waitress had put through Ishkender instead of Ali Nasik - Chef did not change for ordered dish but said that it was a chef's special), lamb diner, chicken shish and seabass.
Sadly, the prawns were large but tasteless, Ishkender was very oily, chicken shish was dry, seabass was not fresh but frozen and rice was stale rice from the taste (we eat out a lot including at other better Turkish restaurants - room for improvement, but Chef doesn't take feedback well).
Our favourite dish was the hummus kavarna.
We did not get to try their delicious sounding dessert menu, as Genghis advised the dessert chef had not arrived for work. Rounded off meal with lemon, pomegranate and mint Turkish delights.
Melissa (SMM), Chef Patron Genghis for the food, and our waitress Jana.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Grill Club, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively yet cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home.
The highlight, of course, was the food. The grilled meats were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Adana Kebab and Chicken Shish, both seasoned beautifully and served with fresh sides. The meze selection was equally impressive, offering vibrant and authentic flavors that complemented the main dishes perfectly.
Service was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a great dining experience. They were happy to make recommendations and catered to every request with a smile.
Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or a place to celebrate a special occasion, The Grill Club is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more from their delicious menu. Highly...
Read moreToday I was coming back from my Sunday swimming session and I stopped at the restaurant, not noticing it was closed(it was opening in half hour). However, the person on the grill welcomed me in with a smile and asking me what I would like to have! I apologised, as i didn't see the sing. He promptly opened the restaurant to the public and he letted me in. I noticed how clean and nice everything was, and he had a selection of skewers that made feel i wanted all! I bought a moussaka and diet coke to take away. It was served me with a portion of rice(just amazing taste), a salad and bread. The portion was so big that I couldn't not finish it! And the taste was even better! I only paid 15 pounds for all this food. I highly recommend the restaurant. I'll soon go to eat in, as I love lamb chops and I saw in the counter how fresh they are! So definitely my new favourite...
