Stayed across the street at the Doubletree. This was just out the door to the right across the street. Staff was welcoming and service was prompt, a nice touch. I had the mixed kebab, absolutely wonderful. Not too much food just right, it still a good portion size. Included salad, rice and the mixed meats. Ambiance and soft background music was perfect. Easily one of the best options close by. read more

Came here April 23rd 2025 as was just across the street from our hotel on SouthHampton avenue. Beautiful setting great ambiance with modern furnishings. Wife had the sea bass with tomatoes and rice the sea bass had a mango like fruit sauces to add flavor to the steamed white fish. 30 lb expensive for a single fillet of fish. I have the minced lamb with rice and tomato sauce came with two kabobs of minced lamb, much better value in the sea bass. We added on a spinach dish with slivered almonds for 5 lb read more

Service was great. We got an amazing white wine from the Aegean. Some of the food was bland (roasted potatoes) while some things were too pungent (olives - they made the whole salad taste like pickled pepper??) but overall it was a great meal. I really enjoyed the veggie stew (guvec). read more

Antalya Restaurant - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

Great place. We had delicious lamb and moussaka dishes. Service was great. One thing we loved was the rustic bread served with humous that was a cross between pita and something like a pizza crust. Way better than just pita! read more

Excellent food, service, ambience, even the bathrooms are nice! Highly recommend the lunch special, lentil soup was great.

Solid Turkish / Mediterranean cuisine served in a nice but informal atmosphere with friendly service and reasonably prices. A great option for people staying at local who hotels (e.g., the Doubletree, the Kimpton) who want to get out a bit and try the local restaurants. I ate there solo as I was traveling on a business trip and was by no means the only solo diner in the place. I had the hummus, pita bread, and an adana kebab along with a glass or two of Turkish red wine and was happy. Snuck in a baclava at the end which I only wish had two pieces instead of three -- but I ate them all anyway. I've been here twice, positive both times. read more

This was a nice spot in walking distance from my hotel. There is a very nice ambience inside. The service was attentive and efficient. I enjoyed everything I was served and would encourage others to give Antalya a try. I am sure you'll be pleased. read more

This restaurant has pretty high reviews on Google Mpas, Yelp and TripAdvisor, but it's just OK. The food is really just about the most basic Turkish food you can get, the room is nice and clean, and service is OK. Definitely not a 4 or 5 star experience. read more

Had a REAL Greek salad there. First time for that outside of Greece. Food, service and ambience were all excellent.

My partner and I were drawn in by the lunch specials and it did not disappoint. If I lived in London I would be eating here at least once a week. Go here and eat or you're missing out read more

Came here for a late lunch at 3pm. I wanted to try different food and I was not disappointed. Although it was hard to speak to my server at first, and I had to call him over, he was nice and gave me an extra cup of tea, a watermelon slice, and hummus free of charge. Food was good. Bread - Was given some bread with carrots and prunes while I Waited for my food. Bread was fresh and good. I wish there was butter or sauce with it. Antalya Steak Special Medium Well done - Steak was very good not chewy. The sauce consisting of mushrooms, red bell peppers and yellow bell peppers, was delicious and fries crispy. I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it! Turkish Tea - good. i ordered one and was offered a free cup towards the end of my mea Hummus- this was missing salt making it a bit bland. When I added some salt it tasted much better. Given free of charge towards the end of my meal. Watermelon slice. Great way to end my meal I would have given this four stars for how difficult it was to get hold of a server: ask for water etc. But, I gave it five since they went it out of their way to bring me free things towards the end. As a note The yelp 10% off coupon when you check in definitely works here. Another woman server was a bit confused when I showed it to her, but it was honored. read more

Amazing Turkish restaurant close to the hotel. Came in and although busy, was seated immediately. Great selection of halal Lang but I started out with sautéed shrimp over peppers and tomatoes- very tender and flavorful. Had a few vodka tonics while I surveyed the diverse crowd in the restaurant. They had one bartender that sent out drinks like crazy- one of the best I've seen. Ordered the roasted lamb for dinner and it was one of the best I've had. Tender and not remotely gamey. For dessert I had the flan, Turkish coffee and some national Turkish drink I'd never had before. Best flan I've had- your spoon could sink right through it and the caramel wasn't overwhelming. They brought me another drink and after that, it was time to go back to the hotel. Amazing place, I'll be back tonight. read more

This is a wonderful Turkish restaurant in London. The food is delicious and authentic and the service is great. I highly recommend trying this place out. Baklava was some of the best I've ever had. read more

Loved our visit to this wonderful place! Our first visit to London and we have never had Turkish food. This place did not disappoint! They were helpful with our choices to make sure we were satisfied. The decor, ambiance and music was all perfect! The service was impeccable. I almost felt as if the maitre'd was excited for us and our first experience with Turkish food as I found him watching us enjoy our meal with a smile on his face. The food was some of the best I've ever had. Topped off with a small bite of complimentary baklava, assistance getting our coats on and a hearty thankful handshake. What a wonderful night! Thank you! read more

Antalya Restaurant is a great place to taste the turkish kitchen. They serve delicious Mezze as starter and well cooked meats. Turkish baklava is another matter to visit them. Strongly recommended. read more

Antalya Restaurant - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

The restaurant is charming, well spaced for these covid times, and the food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not at all intrusive. We started with grilled halloumi which had a perfect char and the borek which was perfectly flaky. The Izgara (lamb) kofta and the Kuzu (lamb) shish were delicious, but the Lamb Lokkum - medallions grilled with crispy fat - were the star of the meal. Tender, succulent, and perfectly cooked. We were so stuffed we passed on Turkish coffee and desert, but there is always next time. read more

Stay very far away from this place. My wife and I visited this restaurant on the first day of our honeymoon, as it was recommended to us by the concierge of the Hotel Russell. We were hesitant to go in, as there was only 4 people in the restaurant when we got there. We went ahead and proceeded in, and boy was that a mistake. The whole experience was really awkward. I felt as if I was eating in a private club owned and operated by three older men. I am assuming they are from Turkey as this is a Turkish restaurant, and maybe this type of service is common in Turkey. So let's begin the meal. When asked what we would like to drink my wi asked for a cosmopolitan, in which our waiter (who barely spoke English) only stated "no" when we asked what he only continued to state "no,no,no" so we got water, and moved on. We got chicken to eat, which was extremely dry and badly seasoned. After finishing our meal, and continuing to sit at our table for an additional 45 minutes without ever seeing our waiter, I went to the bar and asked for my bill. I was told to sit back down and it would be brought to me. At this point all I wanted to do was pay and leave, but before I received my bill I was brought "complementary dessert" two slices of watermelon. This was the best part of the meal. I was finally brought my bill and paid and left. Nearly 3 1/2 hours after this horrible dining experience started. But on the way out, I'm assuming it was the owner would stop each person and shake their hand. Not saying it wasn't a good gesture, just weird. Not my kind of place. The food is not worth the money and the service is horrible, but the decor is pretty epic. read more

The service was mediocre and rude. It wasn't very busy and if felt like they stalled on everything to keep us longer. They sat us in front of the window, which is fine, but then we realized they did that with every customer coming in and it got annoying having a not busy restaurant and people all around you. The food was fresh and the appetizers were great but the main dish was not the best and disappointing. Don't waste your time and money. read more

What a wonderful surprise!! This restaurant is absolutely delicious. We have been there 3 times, and each time is better and better. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The food comes out quickly and piping hot. The selection is excellent. If you like lamb, Anatalya prepares unique and flavorful dishes. This is a diamond in London and worth a visit. And we live in Las Vegas!! Give this great place a try. read more

The general manager and staff were brilliant! Solid food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Trifecta!

This wonderful Turkish restaurant was right down the street from our hotel (Doubletree West End), and we went for dinner twice. Both meals were EXCELLENT, and the staff is hard-working and really warm. The second night, we were greeted like family. Some recommended dishes: the chicken prenses, the mixed kebab, and the dessert (can't remember the name) with pistachio nuts. Lovely, old-world setting, great staff, a true Turkish Delight! read more

Fabulous meal. Authentically Turkish Fast service as we needed to get to the theatre Complimentary Turkish Delight and Baklava at the end Would definitely recommend read more

This was our first ever Turkish restaurant and it was a delicious experience. We started with pita & hummus, proceeded to a lamb and hummus appetizer, and ended with two lamb entrees. All were delicious and served by a friendly and attentive staff. A very nice meal. read more

Came with a group of 6- all of us were starved. Unfortunately the wait for food was quite long (over 1 hr) but the complimentary bread and olives helped tie us over. Our wait staff were very comfortable joking around with us (told me to put my phone away at the dinner table multiple times, told my friend her plate of food was cleaned off and that she wasn't a dog, cleaning our table's crumbs off with his hands). The jokes made some of our group uncomfortable as we weren't sure if they were joking or being a bit disparaging. At the end of our dinner, they provided us with complimentary slices of watermelon which was a very courteous gesture. The food portions were very large and will definitely fill you up. However the chicken was bland and lacked juiciness (dry) and the rice could have been seasoned for flavour. Not the best Turkish food I've had, wouldn't be bothered to come back. The calimari was the game change- it was excellent, crispy, well flavoured, and thus highly recommended if you do visit this establishment. The environment was very cultural, darker lighting, & music playing in the background. Overall, prices, food portions, and culture are the strong points, with blandness and service that may discomfort being the weak points. At the end of dinner (and after paying the bill), I finally took my phone out (since I was too scared to do so during dinner due to the waiter's continuing comments about not using a phone at the table) to check into Yelp. Lo and behold had I checked in before, I would have received 10% off my bill. Hmmm... interesting he was so adamant on not having me use my phone throughout my meal lol. read more

Great food accompanied with friendly staff and nice decor. Nothing but positive feelings here!!!

I know what good Turkish food tastes like and this unfortunately ain't it. Uninspired bland Cuisine is the order of the day here. It seems that because the location is a prime spot for tourist going in and out, the owners of this joint can get away with mediocrity, and they sure excel at it! The homos with meat was bland, the liver appetizer was overcooked and the Dolma was both bland and overcooked. The service also leaves a lot to be desired. The waiters simply are not interested. They are not interested in you, they are are not interested in the food, and they would generally rather be somewhere else! The one redeeming dish they had was the rice pudding. That was not bad at all. That earned them an extra star. But save yourself the money and go elsewhere. read more

Delicious. Best food since I went to Kuwait. Fresh, large servings at a great price. Amazing coffee and desserts. Great service!!

We visited here after a day out in London when we fancied something different to our usual Indian/Chinese/Thai meals. The place was deserted at 7pm and we were slightly wary as we couldn't find any reviews online but thought we'd give it a try anyway and had a fabulous meal. The decor at Antalya is lovely, murals and brightly painted ceilings, and the staff welcomed us as old friends rather than first time visitors. The atmosphere was good too traditional music played quietly in the background and by the time we left the place was buzzing. The menu is extensive and there are plenty of meat, fish and vegetable choices. We chose hot mezze platter for two, followed by a chicken dish Tavuk Topkapi for me and Lamb Iskender for my partner, along with two Turkish beers. We were chuffed to be given a freebie starter olive tapenade and a minty, garlicky sauce, along with some of the best bread I've ever tasted (and more bread with the main course!) The mezzes were great, five or six things including a beautifully seasoned meat patty, a couple of beautiful filo parcels and calamari. There was also some halloumi cheese, which was slightly underdone as I prefer it a little softer and less rubbery. Main courses were fantastic huge portions too. My chicken dish involved half a small chicken stuffed with rice flavoured with cinnamon, pine nuts and other spices,on a creamy sauce with spinach. It wasn't spicy hot, but was warm and delicately flavoured. It came with a portion of bulgar wheat which was also beautifully flavoured. Steve's lamb dish was even more delicious! We didn't order pudding but were presented with some fresh fruit and Turkish Delight which was very welcome. The meal, including a couple of beers, was £50 which seemed very reasonable, especially for somewhere in central London. We'll definitely go back again! read more

Excellent food, price, service, location. Made me feel like they were glad I was there. Great value, artful decor.

Great Middle Eastern food. Lamb mousaka was excellent with good proportions of meat, potatoes, bechamel, nicely spiced. Mezzanine of hummus and falafel also tasty. Convenient location in Russell Square and very good service. Would visit again. read more

I am here in the restaurant and I have been waiting for about an hour for my lamb. Feel bad

A really hearty meal for two at a good price. The best part was the food was genuine and delicious. 4 starters, 2 mains with drinks and a bottle wine just over the fifty mark. Staff try a little too hard to be friendly this may backfire with some but we had a pleasant evening. read more

Good, but not great. We went for lunch on a weekday. The ambience was pleasant and colorful, and the service was very friendly and professional. The flavors were good, although the lamb (Meyveli Kuzu) was on the dry side. read more

Attended this restaurant twice while in London, each time found it to be welcoming, and very reasonably priced, especially for pricey London. The food was very good each time and each time we had something different. read more
