We had the most wonderful lunch at Baba Chelsea to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Chef Cüneyt crafted a flawless meal – a full spread of mezes, warm zahter bread, delicate sarma, and the rich, comforting hünkar beğendi. Every bite was a celebration of flavour.
To finish, we enjoyed a beautifully made irmik helva with ice cream, paired with strong, aromatic Turkish coffee – the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal.
A big thank you to Metin for the warm welcome and impeccable service. This was more than just lunch – it was an experience. Can’t wait to return!
Thank for all Baba Restaurant Chelsea Team
