Iznik

I've just been over in London visiting my daughter and she wanted to take me out for a nice meal. I'm not really exotic with my food, but she insisted Iznik was very good. Well I'm glad I listened! When we first came in you don't know where to look for beautiful things, it was like being on holiday! Our waitress was a lovely girl and really looked after us.

We ordered a few of the little starters to share, some of the dips, stuffed vines leaves, the calamari and meatballs to name a few. They were simply divine, and so nice to have a little bit of everything. For my main I had the prawns, which weren't too spicy and just lovely, and my daughter and her fiancee both had the shish kebabs, which were beautiful. We tried the baklavas for dessert which finished it off handsomely, it was a really lovely evening.

I really recommend Iznik for a visit if you're in the area, and will be back next time I'm over!

I went to Iznik with my female friend after reading positive and negative comment on this website.

We just wanted to try what is truth of this restaurant and we'd gone to my friend's concert in church near by.

Overall I think food was ok and look a like Owner old gentleman was funny and friendly, young couple or staff also bit shy but smily and nice to us.

Only problem is looks like wife of Owner or older lady who taking order. She never smile or give us proper service like forgot to provide menu for us when we have to move table for later booking people. But in the way she is very efficiant I could say.

Our impression was not too bad as another people who comment really badly.

You cannot expect there's always children menu in the avarage restaurant unless department store's restaurant...first of all eat out is not really suits for any children though as nutrition way. You never know what kind of additive and ingredient had been used for food. Adult can take responsibility but they cannot decide what is good or bad for their body yet. Basicaly adult should look after them.

I visited Iznik with my partner on Saturday.

As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted by one of the staff who seemed very friendly. The decor is beautiful, we felt very cosy , the atmosphere very lively and the restaurant was full of customers.

As this was our first time experiencing Turkish cuisine, the waitress took the time to go through the whole menu, describing the various tastes and different dishes to us, which was extremely helpful.

We each were given a free glass of Prosecco, and ordered the lemon squash and the french rose.

We ordered 3 starters, which the waitress had recommended; the spicy turkish sausages, the calamari and the small parcels with minced lamb. We didn't have to wait long for these, despite the restaurant being busy which was fantastic as we were both very hungry!! The starters were absolutely delicious, especially the calamari, it was the best i'd ever tasted.

We ordered the kufte and prawn dish. Both were absolutely gorgeous ad very filling! My partner and I were so pleased with our first experience with turkish food and will be recommending this place to our friends and we will certainly be regulars now after such a wonderful a dining experience. The staff were very attentitive, friendly and polite.

I cannot understand the negative reviews this place has been receiving. I recommend this place 10/10 for everyone!!
