In all a very satisfactory dining experience.
Having mistaken Finchley Central for the Finchley Road station on Jubilee, I somehow found my way to Cirrik after stepping off the Northern Line stop one Saturday night. Why are so many places named Finchley in London anyway?!
Cirrik follows a format whereby the to-go counter is in the fore of the retail space and the formal dining experience is in the rear.
Starters begin at just shy of GBP 4.00, including the fried calamari that was to my surprise NOT previously frozen. Wow.
Entrees begin at the high GBP 6.00 range and depending what you order can reach upwards of GBP 11.00. The tavuk kanat (spicy open fire grill chicken wings) alone is enough to satisfy a middle aged man. Paired with an order of adana kebab (their ground spicy lamb skewer) you can probably feed a party of three. Be sure to ask for a helping of their chili and garlic sauces.
Service was friendly and prompt. The waitresses even threw in a free baklava dessert with our meal.
I'll certainly be back. read more
