I had seen this place in Mayfair during my previous London trips but didnt have a chance to explore it. So next time I visited London, Rüya was on the top of my list! As a Turkish person who lives in the States, I love exploring Turkish food in London. Rüya is stunning considering all the run down not even traditional or modern at all turkish restaurants I see everywhere. I was very proud to finally see a high end Turkish restaurant. The food was great, definitely adjusted to everybody's taste instead of very strong very typical middle eastern taste. Drinks were fantastic! I brought my friend who is a chef with me and she was very happy with her experience as well. Filippo and Mariana went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and this kind of professionalism always adds to my experience in a restaurant. Künefe was amazing!! Thank you!

I really wanted to give them more stars because the food was amazing but it came out no more than 30 seconds after we ordered which is both concerning and off putting. We spent a total of 25 minutes dining in the restaurant because of this - I wanted to enjoy my dinner. The drinks were good but very funky. We didn't try the sommelier they are known for but maybe you should?? Our table was mostly disregarded in favor of the tables with older men who were going to be drinking more but I felt we should all be treated equal. My only other comment is the rampant sexism of the staff. I went to dinner with my male partner and everything was directed at him. I wasn't mad about the bill being given to him though :)

The service was bad and the food was way too salty. The chef wasn't professional enough to handle the situation well.

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.
