My husband and I shared the lentil soup and we both ordered the Coban Kavurma. It was all very delicious. The spices on the Coban Kavurma lifts the dish to a higher level. The lentil soup was smooth and flavorful. Our table shared the creamed mushroom which was amazing as well. Our servers were very attentive.

Our main courses were the Lamb Amana, which is minced lamb mixed with spices then formed into a long meatball and cooked on a skewer, and lamb shish kebab. Both were really good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, while the lamb was spicy and juicy. The service was prompt and the interior very confortable. I think you will really like it.

The restaurant is basically located in a converted railway tunnel which adds to the charm. I selected the lunch menu. Despite the items being extrmely hard to pronounce I managed to order a starter and a main. The starter was a calamari rings in batter with a sweet chilli dressing followed by an adequate main of 4 chicken patties with bulgerwheat and salad. Very tasty, good portion and quality. This is definitely one to try again. The lamb shank looked good from what others ordered and I'll be trying that.

It's self-service with all mezze dishes on display behind a massive glass counter. I can't remember exactly how much they charged for a selection of four salad items, but the portions were very generous and good value. Mind you I wasn't as impressed as I have been at TAS proper (they belong to the same group). The tzatziki and grilled aubergines were rather bland. I was impressed by the freshness of the parsley salad though and felt I was eating healthy food. EV is located under some railway arches and has the ambience of a generic self-service buffet restaurant - the type you get at National Trust properties. It somewhat lacks in atmosphere, even though the turquoise chandeliers add a touch of class. In summary: more of a quick lunch fix than a destination for a good night out.

We ended up waiting an hour outside, but there is a big picnic area just outside so it was no problem. To start you have to go with the short rib hummus with harrisa all throughout. It is nice and spicy due to the harissa, and the meat is so perfectly flavorful and tender. The pita bread that comes with it is served hot and fresh. Also they have several delicious flavors of house made sodas. The mango pineapple has a real mango flavor topped with thick coconut flakes. Everything was excellent along with the service. We will definitely dine again when we're back in London.

My Old Fashioned tasted great with the Greek honey. The lemon gin drink was OK. Our large Greek salad was excellent. Too often they are made with too much lettuce. Here, there was no lettuce, just lots of veggies, feta cheese, olives, etc. nicely done! Our lamb and halloumi skewers were tasty though could've been a bit larger serving wise. Finally, our flat bread (pita) and hummus were good though perhaps slightly overpriced. Service was very good, the restaurant was clean and fairly comfortable. Two thumbs up!

Their brunch is lovely, although the place was largely deserted so the atmosphere wasn't up to much - the only others were a family with some slightly noisy children, but that's to be expected on Bellevue Road. The smoked chicken hash was excellent. Our previous dinner was a quick and desperate search for a burger - their effort, the lamb burger, was very disappointing. But last night we had a full 3 course meal and it went way beyond my (admittedly low after the burger debacle) expectations. I had a great roquefort and endive salad followed by some tasty calves' liver (though why bother asking how I want it cooked if it comes sliced too thin to tell either way) and one of the best creme brulees ever (I know, high praise, but true). The bottle of Italian red was also lovely and not too expensive. The prices are quite high generally, but for this street, not so much. The pub down the road is probably charging similar and I can't imagine the food is nearly as good as this - my brother will rant about the joyous dauphinoise potatoes for weeks to come. z The staff were also very friendly, and although it's a little dark inside, the atmosphere for dinner is just the right side of too formal. Definitely a place for a date to impress, or a special occasion if you go for the full shebang, but also would be nice for a lunch. I imagine it's not too full of business types given the location. One small thing - no bread pre-dinner. I'd expect that. A good find.

They serve sandwiches on proper good artisan sourdough and brioche, fresh salads and hot pots of soup and chicken dishes. They also make fancy hipster coffee. Obviously. Mostly I love that they have little pots of chocolate mousse, fruit and posh yoghurts, for only £1.50, already making it better value than Pret.
