The Ottomans

Great place, had two three course meals for £25 - absolute bargain.

Love the juices + their house speciality dishes

Will definately go again, the music wasn't bad either!

This is a lovely Turkish restaurant where my husband and I eat every couple of months. There is a lovely ambiance, and the service is courteous and friendly. The food is really tasty. We always have the mixed starter, each element of which is good, with lovely fresh bread. I usually have the vegetarian moussaka and it's delicious. The house red is nice too. Recommended.

Cosy atmosphere, excellent service, this restaurant was a pleasure to step into from the rainy streets of Finchely. Authentic and tasteful decor with soft, mood lighting makes for an intimate ambience and the staff are attentive without being intrusive.

The food does not disappoint either. We had a mixed starter to share which comprised a variety of tasty dips served with delicious warm breads and refreshing salads. I followed up with a traditional moussaka, billed as one of the house specialities which was tasty and meaty and hot right through (unlike several I have had in the past. My partner had a seafood 'casserole' which was delicious and very hearty and not at all skimpy on the seafood and fish. Coming in at a shade under £40 for 2 people eating 2 courses each and several beers this was good value and definately on to go back to.

Having tried most of the Turkish restaurants in London; i wasn't expecting much when a collegue invited me to dinner at this relatively little known place in Turkish circles. I could be considered a cruel critic usually, but here i could not find anything to fault. I do not know if they can keep up the standards day-in day-out (because i have yet only been once), but

the food, the service, the decor, and overall ambiance blew me away. I felt I was in a gourmet restaurant - only better!! Unbeatable value... I was told that 2 Course Lunch cost #5.95. Sure to visit & keep you posted.

The smoke is thick over Finchley Central (Church End to the locals) as there are so many Turkish BBQ restaurants. But make your way to this one. The meze are all carefully prepared and delicious. The kebabs big, juicy and succulent with good quality meat. The service is welcoming and friendly. Take your kids they will love it too and they are made welcome.

A bargain for lunch as well.
