"Just enjoyed our take away from Sami’s and had to write to let any coeliacs know that, if you’re looking for delicious kosher food with plenty of gluten-free options, then this is definitely the place for you. Firstly, the lady taking our order over the phone was extremely clued in with what was suitable for coeliacs. This was possibly the first time ever I can remember being told, completely unprompted, that any of the fried foods would not be suitable due to cross-contamination with the oil, where shnitzel and other food products share the oil. What impressed me equally was that she offered for the chef to wipe down the grill for any meat or chicken I may order, as normally the pita uses the same grill, rendering it unsuitable for gluten-free customers. I was really very pleasantly surprised at her level of knowledge (possibly she’s a coeliac, too? . There are virtually no kosher restaurants in London where I’m guaranteed even one soup on the menu that is gluten-free. Here there were 3, as well as the option of choosing the chicken soup (but without the extras . Usually the restaurants say that the stock they use isn’t suitable so when I find a restaurant with a choice of soups I feel truly spoilt! Finally, I must make the important point that the lady taking my order was extremely polite and patient over the phone, and I didn’t feel under any pressure to make a quick decision over the phone. Despite not being English, she understood me perfectly, I didn’t have to spend ages spelling out my requirements (something which I often gave to do with other North West London kosher restaurants! and she was extremely efficient. Thank you so much, Sami’s. We have just finished eating and our meal was DELICIOUS!"

"lokkanta serves Turkish food, but more along the street food sorte. do not misunderstand what they do, they do quite well, but do not even expect a chic Turkish meal here. what is available is similar to what they can see on a Lebanese menu with different names and spicy. they do a lot of grilled meat and donators (think shawarma) we got a plate of meze hummus, a yogurt dip, tomato-based salsa and some well maintained sweet salad with thin strips of lavender as brot free while we waited for our food. the lammbarsch was a beautiful, mildly flavored meat in a beautiful crumb outside the bakery pack. think about it as a cross between a samosa and an early role. for the net I ordered the lamm iskander kebab doner / shawarma slices lamb on a bed of crisp fried brot squares with tomato sauce and beautiful thick yogurt and a side offer of garlic sauce and her clobular chili sauce. bruder ordered the lamming aprons that came with a small side salad on a bed of larger korn cousin. he loved the aromen. I ordered Turkish tee, which served as only black tee (no minze, no apple taste only in a traditional Turkish shaped tea glass) bruder had the ayran (yoghurt drink), which was prepacked, but he found it very refreshing. service was very sweet and friendly. the staff always smiled slightly. they know the menu and can help them meet a choice when they need it. we were quite filled with this meal, but had to end with baklava. their baked layers are much thinner than most baklava, which I have tried in this city almost filmy, not too too too zucker. Personally, I like a bit more crunchy of the nuts in my baklava, but that was a more refined version and therefore the nuts were really finely crushed. we also have 2 pieces lokum (Turkish joy) free with our bill and it was so good that next time I order the lokum instead of the baklava."
