    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.

    After a day of talking on the phone nonstop, I just wanted to escape the house and get some good…read morefood. I had walked by this little place many times and always wondered if it were any good...well today was the day to give it actually a try...and boy am I glad I did!!! The Today's special sign on the street had actually lured me in: Vegetable Moussaka. I figured, since I make the best meat moussaka in the whole wide world, I might as well get inspired by some vegetable moussaka...and boy did I get inspired!!! There were only a few other customers in the restaurant and I thus had the waiter's full attention. In fact, the service that I received here was so attentive and so friendly that even a high-end restaurant could learn from them: the waiter changed the cutlery, refilled my water, served the plate facing the right way, offered condiments...etc. But I am digressing...anyway, I ordered the Tabbouleh Salad as a starter and that was already pretty awesome. I mean, it's a rather standard dish, yet the ingredients were well balanced: it had a nice zest to it and the pita bread that was served with it was smooth and delicious. Then I got my moussaka...and believe me I prayed for it to be as good as the previous experience...and boy did my prayers work! Seriously, the moussaka was the best I've ever had (aside from my meat moussaka, of course). The eggplant was melting on my tongue and the bechamel/cheese sauce was heavenly as well. The waiter offered my some chilli-sauce on the side, which I happily stirred into my rice - and I had yet to experience yet another culinary climax! Well, sitting there all by myself, I had also the leisure of watching the waiter prepare a couple of coffee drinks. And I was positively surprised has how well he prepared the Latte Macchiato...very carefully did he first pour steamed hot milk, topped it off with some foam and only then did he actually - very carefully - pour the espresso into the glass; the end-result was a perfectly three-tiered Latte - the way it is supposed to be served if I were to rule the world. (Only the straw was missing!) Alright, enough said...but just to reemphasise how much I liked this restaurant: my throbbing headache, which I suffered from upon entering the establishment, had vanished by the time the check came...a mere £10.90! ...boy am I glad I came here!!!

    Like many things in life ( for example; exam results, birthday presents, the contents of a sharks…read morestomach) Turkish food can either be really really good, or really really bad. There is always that element of risk, seemingly more so the further away you go from Dalston. It's always a lovely surprise therefore when you find a really high quality and innovative Turkish menu in the depths of North London. The Adana wrap is delicious. Sometimes pita bread is too much! A lighter surrounding makes the whole thing more moreish. I could literally eat about five. The service is friendly and warm, and there is a good range of specials at reasonable prices. The decor isn't too bad either. Although still not up to some of the legendary Dalston Turkish grills, this is still a surpisingly good restaurant in a surprising location. Do not underestimate the power of the Adana wrap.

    This is an excellent restaurant! It is part of our hotel. We were quite surprised it was so good,…read moreand in our week here we ate at Flames almost every night. Every single thing on the menu is good, and the prices are reasonable. The staff is great - we were impressed with Anastasia, who helped us several evenings. I hope more people find this place. Its a hidden gem, and has great food. Mediterranean in style, it is tasty and seems healthy too. The Octopus appetizer was awesome, the bread that comes with every meal is perfect, the main courses are delicious and filling, and they have a nice selection of wine.

    We visited this restaurant on Saturday night…read more A friend had been before and had a lovely time yet her experience last night and the other five of us , it was our first time, were far from nice and one word to describe terrible. We were served with food , of how can I say half a packet of salt on everything from the Kalamari which tasted like it was brought from a supermarket definitely not fresh rubbery taste to the meat being so over cooked and full of spices this certainly was the worst Greek food well if you can say Greek meze we have ever experienced and note we are all Greek Cypriots ! The only items of food that was nice was the pitta bread and some dips. Having a heavily pregnant lady with us didn't help either we weren't treated with any kind of warmth or hospitality , they were too busy serving and caring more about the other three tables and didn't bother much with us , yet we constantly said please ask the chef not so much salt. We were also served with one slice of watermelon which he said was a fruit platter! Where was the fruit one disgusting sour watermelon We had such a horrible experience that we just wanted to leave. We asked for the bill which was incorrect yet the owner wasn't having it and questioned us then he has the audacity to screw up the bill in our faces and throw it and tell us to leave and don't pay then. And then he had the cheek to say we don't go out to eat we don't know ! We most certainly do go out for dinners whether it be local in north london or in the city or Mayfair we were prepared to spend even £100 on a dinner, if it was worth it . We were disgusted by this attitude of the owner and said no we are going to pay please amend it we paid and he was very rude and ignorant. We will never step foot in this place again and certainly never recommend it. There are much better Greek restaurants in north London, this isn't more than a cafe style restaurant in a hotel Stay clear from here
