From the owner: We welcome you to our little corner of Istanbul in the heart of Little Chalfont. 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.

After a long day of walking around London, we found our way back to Camden Town and were starved…read more And it was 10 p.m. A bag of crisps wasn't gonna cut it. Enter Istanbul. Kebabs? Sure! But let me tell you...this is SO much more than just another kebab shop! I wish I could tell you what we ordered, but I can't. Mine was a stewed lamb atop hot bits of pita and slathered in their house sauce (like sour cream.) Oh good lawd IT WAS SO GOOD! Also equally delish was the hummus and pita. Service was super, food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and visit! I wish we were locals so we could eat our way through the entire menu. P.S. They do Uber Eats/new delivery if that's more convenient for you!

OMG! So much food…read more Between the 2 of us, we ordered 1 main course (iskander kebab) and 3 starters (sausages, imam bayildi - stuffed aubergine and falafel). The food was all super tasty, but we had so much leftover! Both of us had skipped lunch and were having early dinner, but we barely put a dent on the amount of food that arrived. As soon as we ordered, we were brought Turkish style bread lovingly buttered and 4 different dips (hummus, minty yoghurt, cheese and a tomato one). This itself would have been a sufficient meal for us both. The falafel came settled on a bowl of hummus. The side salad with the main arrived in a plate of its own. Service was very fast and the lady serving us was lovely as were the line of chefs we passed by on our way in and out. When you peep through he window, it looks like a tiny kebab place, but they have really comfortable seating at the back. Some of the other places we wanted to eat at in Camden on a Friday night were completely full, so we entered this place on a whim, but left completely dated and satisfied.

I will not be returning there again nor recommend it for anyone

Arguably the best Chicken Donner ever! Popular late night spot and I grab a Medium Chicken Donner…read moretake-away after a night out in the city. They have a home made chilli sauce which is out of the world and the meat is cooked to perfection and never dry. For £4.90 for medium it is a value meal. The staff are friendly and the place is clean. Bang opposite the Harrow-on-the-hill tube/bus station. They have a restaurant attached and do sit-in or take-away. Cannot be missed as you can smell the wonderful cooking a block away!!! Highly recommended. Four stars only because sometime the staff don't see waiting customers and keep chit chatting.

This quaint little Turkish restaurant sits inconspicuously at the end of a parade of shops situated…read morenear the junction of High Street Edgware/Station Road. This business started life around six months ago (summer 09) as Clay Plate where they focussed on clay-oven based dishes like turkish pizza, Pide, Lahmacun and Meze dishes. They have recently re-branded as 'Ocakbasi', done away with the clay oven and replaced it with a Charcoal Grill. Although I was a big fan of their previous set-up, the re-brand is a very welcome change with a focus on grilled meat and kebab dishes. Décor is quaint, perhaps a little eccentric, with lampshades fashioned from old kitchen utensils, but the atmosphere is pleasant. Waitresses are way above benchmark, and me and my friends all have our favourites! Prices for an evening meal sit in the £10-£20 range but i've never been for dinner. You can usually pick up a decent lunch in here for less than a fiver including a drink. Definitely recommended for Edgware locals and visitors alike. Do it.

Edgware's best little secret…read more I've been to many far more expensive restaurants and their food does not come close to the quality and taste of their produce. - The chef appears to love cooking, and you can see how he lovingly prepares and cooks his food at the grill, and this comes through in the excellent taste. The waitresses are always friendly, and if they don't have it on the menu, they will often make it upon request, nothing seems to much trouble. - Also they provide lots of super extras, plenty of bread, salad and baclavas. The value is super also, you will be hard pressed to spend more than £30 per couple and can easily do much less. Why did it not get 5 stars. - The snob in me comes out here. - The decor and fittings detracts from the experience. - Unfortunately this can make you feel you are eating in a high street kebab shop. - I have learned to look past this and have had many many thoroughly enjoyable evenings there, but I can see how this affects others.
