"If I'm in the mood for Turkish food I normally think of heading to Harringay Green Lanes or the Stoke Newington area. But if you want a good Turkish restaurant in central London I recommend Ishtar. The restaurant is contemporary and spacious with 2 floors and a view into the open kitchen. The service is worthy of mention. It's very good and is on par with some Michelin starred restaurants I have been to. It's the little things that make a big difference. For example, in our group of 12, one of us needed a extra straw, the extra straw was brought out right away, on a plate and cloth napkin. I liked that. Food is presented in a visually pleasing way and is made with care and attention to details. The pricing is also very good. A 3 course lunch menu which offers choice is available from 12 to 6 for £13.95, factor in a drink and service pushes you to just under £20. The options on the menu are impressive especially the non meat options, the salmon and sea bass seem to go down with the others. Just like last week at Tas, I went for the safe lamb shish, £2 extra for grilled dishes. Portion size was good, not too much and not too little. The meat was as you expect, cooked well, juicy and succulent. In retrospect, I wish I ordered a non meat option. Im having too much meat. The chilli sauce is also something I review. Here it was home made and really good. A good blend of species and heat. All in a all, this was a very pleasant and good food experience. I'll show you guys and yals pics of the starters and deserts in the next post. Food 8 Value 8 Service 9 Atmosphere, presentation, decor 8"

came to the evening dinner after ishtar and was impressed by the eating, service and love music. the whole package was a tasty, from the Mezzen starters to various types of kabababs for the main course it was all great. konafeh for dessert is a must if they have a sweet tooth!

This is by far the best Turkish food I've had outside of Istanbul. The authentic cuisine, outstanding service, and stylish ambiance create a memorable dining experience in London. Make sure to go hungry, as the food is definitely worth it. I highly recommend this spot to both locals and tourists!

This is truly one of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve ever been to, possibly even the best! The food was incredible and very authentic. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was vibrant. The portions were quite generous, offering great value for the money. I will definitely be returning! View menu

we came 13 minutes too late, and although they say on the website there are 15 minutes tolerance, they told us they thought we didn't come and they gave our table to someone else. then we asked ourselves to sit and watch the bauchshow, and they say we should have indicated during the booking, while this is not written somewhere.

This turkish restaurant in Baker Street is really good with amazing food. I really like the grilled lamb chops and the grilled salmon but I guess everything is delicious depending on your preferences. They also have few vegetarian dishes and a small selection of desserts. Saturday they have belly dancers and if you go with friends they have nice seating downstairs which can accommodate a big group.

The service deserves special mention; it’s exceptional and rivals that of some Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve visited. It's the little details that make a big difference. For instance, in our group of twelve, one person needed an extra napkin, and it was promptly provided — on a plate with a cloth napkin, no less. I appreciated that thoughtful touch. The food is not only visually appealing but also crafted with care and attention to detail. View menu

#ZomatoTuesdays. International time. Went for a famjam meal here with high expectations. I can say that these expectations were actually met by the staff at Ishtar. The food was good and so was their service although there wasn't much space for the hostess to move about on/ with our table. The mixed grills and the stuffed chicken were two of my favorites. Must try those two when you're going there for a meal. Also, their lemon with mint juice was spot on. Damage: No idea. Go again? For sure. Next trip.

Ishar Restaurant is a typical turkish cusine, mediterranean located on Crawford Street, close to Baker Street and Marylebone Station. The venue offers a good choice of seasonal food, prepared by fresh, natural and organic ingredients. In the restaurant some of the nights are with live perfmances like belly dancing and live music. They also have takeaway food and outdoor seatings. Can recommend to start with the Borek or with the Chicken Salad as a starter and the Mixed Grill or the Tavuk Kanat as a main meals. As a dessert would say to try their famous Baklava or the Champagne Sorbet( containing mixed berries, lemon sorbet and champagne). Great venue with more than warm and friendly services...
