From the owner: We welcome you to our little corner of Istanbul in the heart of Little Chalfont. Istanbul has been…read moredescribed as the capital of the world, a natural hub for many civilisations and our restaurant has quickly become a buzzing hub for the community to enjoy our wonderful dishes. Our chefs have previously worked in Michelin star restaurants and have bought with them the high standards and skills required to create the unforgettable dishes we serve in Little Instanbul. Here we offer fresh, hot or cold meze starters which boast traditional flavours from across the Eastern Mediterranean to enjoy alongside our freshly baked home-made bread. Our delicious Mangal kebabs are home cooked to order on our traditional charcoal grill. To accompany your meal we have selected some of the owners' favourite Turkish wines, but if that's not to your taste we also offer the world famous Efes larger. The open plan style of Little Istanbul lends itself to a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, a perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy a meal together.

They got food and drinks out quickly, worked well as a team throughout our visit, and each dish was beautifully prepared. The atmosphere had us wanting to stay for hours; the decor was eye-catching from every view and they offered live entertainment! They had a live singer the night we were there; he matched the overall vibe of the restaurant and wasn't overbearing during our dinner. I would love to come back soon:)

This restaurant has recently had a refurb and the interior looks even more stunning. Only problem…read morenow is that due to changing local council regulations, it's nigh on impossible to park near the restaurant. Saying that, there are a few "official" parking spots in front of the restaurant and if you get lucky enough, you can go in and treat yourself to the usual high standard of Turkish cuisine. Prices seem to have edged up slightly but they still represent excellent value for money. My advice is that, if you are going for lunch, skip breakfast, if you are going for dinner, skip both breakfast and lunch because the portion sizes are very generous. About £20 pp inc VAT ex service, without booze.

A perfect restaurant on the river if you have a stop over at Stansted airport or happen to be in…read morethis quaint town of Bishops Stortford. For a layover: Just hop the train from the Stansted airport, it is the first stop. The train costs seven pounds (including the return fare...don't forget to book it together) and it is about a 7-10 minute train ride. As soon as you exit the arrivals gate you go through the the food court and straight down the ramp to the "Stansted Express" train. Donte get fooled by the bus line. If you don't go down a ramp then you are not buying a train ticket. The train ticket machines take cash and use credit cards. They give change if you don't have small bills. Simply pick the stop as Bishops Stortford and then add in first or regular class (first isn't worth the extra money, it is junk). To find this great dining spot just get off of the train and turn right and then head towards town. Turn left on a somewhat industrial street and cross the bridge. The first street to your right will take you to the restaurant and the second street takes you to the little downtown. When you get to the corner with Witherspoon's and Port Cafe look to your right across the river again and you will see Skew. It is a Turkish restaurant with vegetarian options even though the name or decor doesn't look Turkish. Looks more like an upscale club environment. The service and food was impeccable. Check out my photos to see the real food and description as well as the menu. I'd definitely go back! Make the first left and then the first right and you'll see on your right. It is a little bit hidden so if you see the Weatherspoon or MNS food hall or snap fitness you were at the right spot.to head and make a quick right your first left into town and the first right and you will look to the right there is the river and and Witherspoon and then you will also see SKEW Weatherspoon is more of a chain restaurant versus SKUW which is upscale with wonderful prices and service.
