Lovely local restaurant with a great atmosphere. We have eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks, as it’s our go-to place to bring visitors, and the food never disappoints. There’s a good variety of starters, all of which seemed to be prepared fresh. Had a delicious smoky aubergine dish and lamb skewers on this visit, along with some salads. Highly recommended.

Delicious fare, delightful atmosphere. Versatile and fabulous for a family gathering or an intimate dinner. The best kind of hidden jewel. I hope it does not stay hidden for too long. Iznik deserves to be visited and supported locally.

The food is of a quality found in almost no other Turkish restaurant in London. Prepared with absolute care and flair with exquisite taste. Intimate atmosphere with very unique decor and really great service. Definitely worth the (nice) walk from Highbury & Islington

Slow to offer menus and drinks after we were shown to our table. Food was delicious and served quickly after we ordered and staff were friendly. Would return next time we watch an Arsenal match.
