Istanbul Meze Mangal 222 High Street, London SW19 2BH

"I have visited twice. Once on a busy friday night, the other on a quiet weekday. Both experiences were excellent. It is fairly expensive but it is worth it. You are paying for a good quality service. Food is excellent, very tasty and generous portion sizes. Presentation is also good. Service is friendly and kind. Drink orders were a little slow on the busy Friday night, but it is forgivable. The restaurant was packed and they have a difficult job to do. Happy to wait a little longer than usual as the food was excellent. Live entertainment too, Friday night had a belly dancer and there is also live music. This really adds to the experience. You aren't just paying for the meal but for a shared experience with your fellow diners. There is also an outside area, as well as shisha facilities for you you shisha aficionados! There are no other restaurants in the local area of a similar style. I can't think of any other Turkish restaurants in the area. There is an Italian just down the road. All in all, an excellent restaurant and worth a visit. On both occasions I simply walked in without a reservation . 10/10!"

"Fantastic place to come for a meal. This was my 1st time visiting. The atmosphere was great with nice music in the background with was nice and busy as a restaurant should be. The service was fantastic nice and friendly and welcoming. The food was served in perfect timing. If your looking for a Turkish meal in the area this is the place to go they also have a outside area where you can have shisha and it's all a great experience"

"The meals were reasonably priced costing between £11-16. The cocktails tasted lovely too, would recommend for a date night or to go out as a group. There was a variety of shisha, something for everyone's taste palette. My only fault was that I was quite cold, the heaters was not hot/warm enough so I was quite uncomfortable due to this. Other than that I would probably return when the weather is better as I was seated quite close to the door."

"Cocktails taste great, I had the Caribbean peach. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the adane kofte and prawn pasta. Great atmosphere with a shisa lounge and music. Shisa had a good variety of flavours. Regular imdoor dinning is also available. Strongly recommend for groups or couples."
