Then again on the following day, bringing additional family, too. The food is fantastic - cooked over hot coals in the front of the restaurant- and the the staff is very friendly.

I went here for mid week lunch with a friend from work…read more They had a lunchtime special on the menu, covering all the dishes that I normally go for, so that was all good :) It was a starter and a main for £10.95. For starters, warm bread, hummus and cacik. Both were yummy. Really liked them. For mains, my friend went for a lamb kebab and chips and said it was really good and it was a massive portion. I had my good old favourite whenever I go to a Turkish - Chicken shish - and it was good enough. Service was good, they left us be to chat once we had finished our food and I didn't think that they were trying to boot us out of the door, which was quite nice. The toilets to the back are clean and interestingly enough had Turkish music piping through the speakers in the loo! They do a take away service here too. I will be back for lunch again in the near future. It was of a god standard and the staff were good too.

I went here for lunch on a Saturday lunchtime. We were the only ones in here, which didn't bother…read moreme either way. We had king prawns with garlic and butter for starters. Which were meaty and tasty. Cooked well. For mains I went for chicken shish which was served with perfectly cooked rice and salad. It was cooked well and tasted good. The Boyff had lamb minced meat with special herbs and pistachio rolled yufka bread served with yoghurt, which he said was really nice. They had a decent enough selection of drinks and wine list too. The waiter was polite and amusing, very quick, as was the waitress that cleared everything up. £35 for a starter, hummus and bread, 2 mains, large wine and a lager is not too shabby at all! It was good and I will go back there. Both of us enjoyed it.

I had some of the best Chicken Shish here around. The new potatoes were absolutely amazing and the hummus was so good. My date loved the Vegetarian Moussaka. You can not go wrong at this place. The bread that you dip into the sauces is the best as well.

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.

Very reasonable prices teamed with free hummus, tzatziki and homemade bread on arrival so there is no need to order any starters!

Went here with the boyff and my dad for lunch the day after Boxing Day…read more It was relatively busy with two large groups. We picked our table and sat down, the waiter seemed a bit short/abrupt initially but then he was fine. We picked our food. Starters were Minced lamb koftas, flat mushroom with cheese and mixed veg and filo pastry parcels with feta cheese and spinach. Dad was impressed with his mushroom and said it was "very good indeed", the lamb "yeah it was nice, standard" and the parcels were fair enough, although the salad bed they were on looked like the lettuce had been left out over night. For the mains, 2 x Tuna peppered steaks and 1 x chicken shish. The tuna was good enough the men said although it was just a piece of fish and weird it was served with frozen chips that had been cooked in fat. There was no veg/salad with the tuna. Chicken shish was good and cooked very well. We ordered extra sides humus and tzatziki - wasn't over then moon with either of them to be fair. Bread was delicious though. So, all in all, good starters, average/fair mains, blurg sides. Service ended up being good by the end. Would go back but wouldn't trample the masses to get there.

When it comes to the food, the only thing I have to say about it is if it wasn't for the passing traffic and houses outside the window I would think I'm eating somewhere in the mediterranean, the chefs have captured the taste well, and on every visit to Isot feels like a trip to the mediterranean. A note on their good selection of wine also needs a mention. All-in-all Isot is a place that attracts me and my family a few times a week happily.

My boyfriend had the lamb moussaka which he said was very average at best, and later turned out to be the reason for spending 3 days running to the toilet. Watch out for a can of fizzy pop, we had a couple and we ended up paying as much for them as the dinner itself. It was rather noisy too, and not in a buzzy way. However, you can't fault the staff, very attentive and helpful. My friend did say she had a good dinner there, so this could be a one off, however, we shall not be returning.
