"This restaurant is a hidden gem, and as soon as you see it, you will be eager to go inside. The staff were wonderful – polite, attentive, and efficient. They had a great relationship with regular customers but were just as welcoming to a newcomer like me. The menu was impressive, offering a variety of dishes not commonly found in Greek or Turkish restaurants. I started with smoked aubergine and warm, fresh Turkish bread – both delicious. The main course was a selection of chicken kebabs, each bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and I look forward to returning someday."

Great to see a menu card with lots of gluten-free dishes highlighted. Makes my wife's life much easier. The service and food were very good on an early Saturday evening before a gig at the Union Chapel.

Lovely setting. Great food and amazing service. The hospitality was just superb!!! Ideal for a couples meal but equally fantastic for larger groups. Cocktails are strong, not watered down like some places, I highly recommended the woo woo!!

we have chosen this restaurant from Tripadvisor and went for dinner. It’s a small, cozy restaurant. Everybody was very kind with us and the food was good. The menu is between of Greek and Turkish culture. Everything was great. The only regret is the music a little too loud View menu

My boyfriend and I had a great dinner at Gem. The lamb sarma beyti and lamb chops were delicious and excellent quality. The taramasalata was lacking in flavour but hummus and bread both also amazing. Service was good, prices about average and pretty decor. Probably not quite in my top Turkish restaurants in London but it’s a great one, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m really fond of Gem which is the restaurant closest to our house. We have been coming here for 20 years. We actually ate here on the evening we moved into our house. The food is reliable, generous and great value. On this visit we shared the mixed chicken kebab, borek and halloumi. The owner is lovely and friendly and the staff are all really jolly. Great place to have on our doorstep.

First visit having read good reviews. We ate early, at 5:00pm, so restaurant was quiet. When we left at about 6:30pm it was pretty packed, a good sign! The patron, I guess it was, was polite, friendly and helpful as regards menu choices. We both had a set menu of cold then hot meze and a dessert. Food was delicious and there was plenty to eat. Glad we hadn't ordered a main course as well! Would certainly visit again. Recommended. View menu

I visited this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation and was tremendously impressed. The food and service were outstanding. I opted for the set menu to sample a variety of dishes, and the waiter provided detailed explanations of each dish. There was a generous amount of food, and I left feeling completely satisfied. We ended the meal with some delicious cocktails that were equally enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
