"As we had come to The Iskele late lunchtime, we were expecting it to be fairly quiet. But it was the opposite, the restaurant was pretty much packed and so it was a good thing that I had made a reservation. The luscious colours, wall hangings and lanterns from the ceiling welcomes diners into The Iskele! The dining area is fairly big although some of the tables are quite close together. There are lots of ornaments decorating the walls and shelves around the restaurant. The Iskele also has quite a big outdoor dining area with wooden tables and chairs. A hot and cold starter were chosen! The Falafel were crispy little patties made of chickpeas and had a good flavour to them. They were served on houmous with salad. The classic Houmous was a generous portion and we were given warm bread to go with it. Layers of potato, aubergine and courgette with a cheese sauce made up the main dish of Vegetarian Moussaka. It was topped with a lovely tomato sauce as well. The Moussaka was a really filling"

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great menu! I had halumi salad and vegetarian mousaka - both were excellent!

The real appeal of Iskele is ample sidewalk seating on charming little Whitecross StreetIn cooperative weather, this setup is legit.

Server was fantastic. He was attentive and went out of the way to get the delicious coconut ice cream my wife loves even though it wasnt on the menu. Resturant atmosphere was cozy and we're looking forward to the next visit

the interieur and the facility that reflects a beautiful culinary experience through its casual restaurant. the service was super efficient and the staff on the table were friendly. the food came quickly. the choice was abundant with a fusion of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. good for business.

the filled wein leaves were brilliant, as the spicy garnels with a hauch ingwer, the lamb juice pastes were tenderly spiced and with the chili sauce they offer as a groom it was great. I think they should lose the riders with this court, although it seems out of place. also the Turkish reispudding was fabulous. Apart from this little gemstone in a side street I almost missed, really good eat!

The ambience is nice, the decor transports you to Istanbul, and the food portions very generous and sumptuous : what more can a girl ask for a mid-week mid-work lunch. They have nice Turkish Merlot wines as well in case you did want to ask for more ; I had the chicken skewers as my main and chicken wings for starters and I was well fed and very happy by the end. Recommend this if you are in this area.

the iskele is a Mediterranean restaurant with a really cool decoration. the food was great, the lamb cuprole packed a stamp, and the super mix grill was very pleasant (I shared with a friend, I am not so much of a glutton.) we had a meze and halloumi appetizer, well cooked, can not really go wrong with these options. for dessert we have shared a ottoman kadayaif and a dene. delicious, but much too much for a single person. the price was appropriate for the experience.
