Lokkanta Meze & Barbeque

Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Turkish cuisine. Me and my brother ordered the mixed grill Platter for 2 the portions were just enough for 2 people and we managed to finish most of it. The meat was so delicious and tender and juicy. My favourite were the Lamb ribs, chicken wings and lamb Adana. It was beautifully seasoned. The Platter also comes with a selection of cold mezze with soft pitta bread. I loved the baba ganoush which had a nice smokey flavour. The Cacik was very thick and creamy and so tangy. I also ordered the Lahmacun which was nicely spiced and was full of flavour. Everything tasted so fresh even their Baklava was homemade and a nice treat to end the meal with. The service was excellent, our waiter Mikel was very friendly and attentive and the food arrived promptly. The presentation was beautiful too. Thank you Lokkanta for an amazing experience and being so welcoming. I can't wait to dine with you again.

Our experience at Lokkanta was absolutely amazing. We were promptly seated by our amazing waiter Mark, who then aided us in our orders. For drinks, we had the Turkish lemonade and the Ayran (yoghurt). As there were three of us, we decided to have a range of dishes and share between us all. All together, we had the king prawns, babagonash, humus, Sucuk with halloumi calamari, sigara borek, muska borek, feta salad, the Lokkanta special grill and the halloumi kebab. All tasted delicious, the standout dishes for us were the lamb from the Lokkanta special grill, sigara borek, and the muska borek. Everything was perfect; the service and recommendations were great, the dishes arrived promptly, and the flavours of the dishes were great. We then finished with 1 Turkish tea and 2 Lokkanta special teas, which come with honey, mint, and oranges (unfortunately, they did not have any oranges). Overall, Lokkanta is a great spot to visit, great service, great food, and great drinks.

The food was amazing! Perfectly grilled and authentic Turkish cuisine, with a distinct smoked taste. The Hot Meze Mix had large portions and was so good to share! The service was excellent as well - We definitely shall be back for more. Desserts are incredible as well. I’d recommend visiting if you’re nearby - great meal after a walk in Hyde Park.

Very nice BBQ meat at fair prices and they don't charge service like it says on the menu, which was a big win. Portions maybe slightly small, if you are sharing might be better to get larger platters (but obviously more expensive). Ezme was also great and I really enjoyed. Turkish lemonade was not limonata be warned. And I was disappointed they don't do pides anymore as I was looking forward to trying them. But overall a nice experience, great meat and responsive and polite waiters.
