Between its name and the extensive, plastic-coated menu in the window, I was wavering about whether…read moreto go inside. Both of those things were giving off a fast-food feel and I was seeking something different. A couple passed by, observed my reticence, and unsolicited announced "Go in. It's really good". I encouraged the banter and asked what they loved. "The meat" was their hearty endorsement, "All of the meat is excellent". And that's all it took for me to open the door and realize that everything I'd assumed about Best Meze Grill was incorrect and everything I'd heard about Best Meze Grill (those two sentences above) was spot on. Lots of things arriving at my table free of charge is always a way to my heart. Best Meze Grill complied first with the onion salad, olives, lavash, and more. From there we segued into what we'd ordered: Cabernet and Beer (Efes) paired with a Hot Mixed Meze (£17.95; ample for 2) featured a host of delicious tastes: feta straws, falafel, small fried fish, sausage, whitefish bites, and haloumi. The Ezme Salad (£7.25) featured tomatoes, onions, peppers, and pomegranate, a mix that surely was the nectar of Turkish gods. Each Mediterranean country seems to have their own version of a similar salad; The Ezme almost had me booking a flight to Turkey. I never got around to "the meat". A second tray of complimentary treats arrived in place of the dessert not ordered. Featuring fresh fruits and sweet Turkish nibbles, this was the ideal close to a quite perfect meal. Despite the plastic-coated menu and the name, Best Meze Grill is classy and delicious and a far cry from fast food. The folks who write reviews on TripAdvisor appear to have figured this out a while ago. Now yelp fans - or at least this one - have weighed in. Good place.

Finally a non pretentious venue in Clapham that is affordable and authentic. I particularly rate the owners who have obviously taken a leap to make this venue different from the expected Turkish food stop off and are obviously working hard. Go & support a local business! I have been 3 times in the last fortnight the food is so fresh and delicious! As a heads up the Turkish dry white wine is also really good!

After passing this place many times (usually when I wasn't hungry) and reading all the glowing…read morereviews I finally got the chance to try this place. The interior is very nice and as I had arrived just after noon I had my choice of tables. I sat by the window for a nice view out onto the street. While I was waiting for my meal I was served a bowl of warm flatbreads (apparently made in-house) and a little bowl of olives. The main course I opted for was adana kofte served with rice and salad. The lamb was cooked on skewers which are then removed before serving leaving two perfect pooh-shaped sausages on the plate. And very tasty it was too despite the slightly off-putting appearance. The salad was very nice and a generous portion too. I just about managed to finish my meal (washed down with a glass of tango) despite the flatbreads almost having filled me up. The bill arrived along with a small, but greatly appreciated, cube of turkish delight. Service and ambiance was excellent, I look forward to returning and trying something a little less pooh-shaped.

Istanbul has been…read moredescribed as the capital of the world, a natural hub for many civilisations and our restaurant has quickly become a buzzing hub for the community to enjoy our wonderful dishes. Our chefs have previously worked in Michelin star restaurants and have bought with them the high standards and skills required to create the unforgettable dishes we serve in Little Instanbul. Here we offer fresh, hot or cold meze starters which boast traditional flavours from across the Eastern Mediterranean to enjoy alongside our freshly baked home-made bread. Our delicious Mangal kebabs are home cooked to order on our traditional charcoal grill. To accompany your meal we have selected some of the owners' favourite Turkish wines, but if that's not to your taste we also offer the world famous Efes larger. The open plan style of Little Istanbul lends itself to a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, a perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy a meal together.

This restaurant has recently had a refurb and the interior looks even more stunning. Only problem…read morenow is that due to changing local council regulations, it's nigh on impossible to park near the restaurant. Saying that, there are a few "official" parking spots in front of the restaurant and if you get lucky enough, you can go in and treat yourself to the usual high standard of Turkish cuisine. Prices seem to have edged up slightly but they still represent excellent value for money. My advice is that, if you are going for lunch, skip breakfast, if you are going for dinner, skip both breakfast and lunch because the portion sizes are very generous. About £20 pp inc VAT ex service, without booze.
