Excellent food and a very reasonable bottle of wine. It was very quiet with not many diners but being in between Christmas and New Year that was probably inevitable. We would definitely go again.

I tried Notting Hill Counter before and quite satisfied. Everything was right there. This restaurant is nothing close to our experience at their first restaurant. 9 personnel around us doing nothing much. “Kıbbe” on the menü was not kıbbe we have in Tırkey. What they have is “çiğköfte” As a Turkish restaurant to write the name of the food wrong is interesting. Plus we do not serve “rakı” ready with water and ice in it in Turkey. Everybody adjust it himself.

food was delicious and service was great untill they tricked us into adding nearly £30 onto our bill. The waitress presented the card machine saying “we have added service on hope that’s ok” - which of course we accepted and paid - only to realise after it was an additional £30 to the service already added on the bill. She then held fast to the fact she had asked, but she hadn’t explained it was additional. It’s a shame as it ruined what would have been a lovely experience. Just shady, check your bill carefully

We love The Counter Notting Hill, but the new Soho location is absolutely fantastic! Great ambiance, fun space, lovely service and delightful food. A modern take on Turkish and Mediterranean classics. Really creative flavours. One of our favourite spots in London!
