I went here for mid week lunch with a friend from work…read more They had a lunchtime special on the menu, covering all the dishes that I normally go for, so that was all good :) It was a starter and a main for £10.95. For starters, warm bread, hummus and cacik. Both were yummy. Really liked them. For mains, my friend went for a lamb kebab and chips and said it was really good and it was a massive portion. I had my good old favourite whenever I go to a Turkish - Chicken shish - and it was good enough. Service was good, they left us be to chat once we had finished our food and I didn't think that they were trying to boot us out of the door, which was quite nice. The toilets to the back are clean and interestingly enough had Turkish music piping through the speakers in the loo! They do a take away service here too. I will be back for lunch again in the near future. It was of a god standard and the staff were good too.

The restaurant is very simple and elegant, customer service and quality of food is great. We ordered Hummus Kavurma, one other appetiser I cant remember the name, mixed grill and some thick cut chips as a side dish. The bread they serve is light warm and delicate with a lovely sprinkle of rosemary accompanied with rich butter topped with walnuts. Seriously yummy. The meat in the mixed grill platter was juicy, soft and perfectly seasoned. The dessert we ordered oh my god sweet heaven on a plate it was just something else I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Our bill came to £60 for two and we left happy!

Lovely fresh crusty bread and butter were served whilst we decided on what we were ordering from the dinner menu. The feedback from my group was that all the food was tasty, well presented and decent sized portions. I particularly enjoyed the starter of Turkish Spicy sausage which came with a mixed salad garnish, and main of fillet of sea bream which came perfectly cooked served on a bed of mashed potato and superb saffron cream served with a nice suprise garnish of a rolled piece of smoked salmon and a mixed salad. Also, others adviced that the lambs liver; aubergine, courgettes and mixed peppers; boeuf bourgignon; and kleftico were all very good and perfectly cooked. French fries I heard were excellent, but they could not finish the portion their eyes had got too big when they saw the choice of mains + sides. Save room for dessert the Tiramisu, Apple Tart Tatin and the Banoffee Pie were all fab ends to a wonderful meal. Reasonable prices. We will be back very soon!!!

We lived in this neighbourhood for 6 months before coming here and let me tell you it was really good. I came in to this place in sporting attire and it is an upscale place and the servers still were extremely polite to me. I order a Mixed Meze dish of a few sides. It was the perfect size for me. The pilaki (beans in Olive oil) was really, really good, the Cacik was also great. Cacik is sort of the Turkish version of Tszaki sauce. At Izgara, they also do a nice Turkish Apple tea, a real favourite of mine. This is not an inexpensive place, more of a mid-range place and I recommend wearing at least smart casual although when I came in shorts this summer, I may have felt out of place (understatement) but I still had a nice meal.
