Anilo’s Kitchen

"We were saved from a very cold evening and no reservation. The staff were exceptionally accommodating to find a table and the food was delicious! Great vibe, lovely Spanish twist to traditional Turkish food and cool rockabilly atmosphere! Turkish coffee was excellent"

"I only gave five star because there isn’t a six star option… Friend and I were hunting for food late at night. This place run by amazingly warm Turkish staff was spontaneously open because customers kept coming. They treat late customers with empty stomachs like family and everyone was smiling as if at home. If only there are more places like this in London… Food wise - we ordered seafood and lamb meatballs tapas and one of their signature dish. The taste was impeccable. Even a random beer was way beyond my expectation. What a magical experience… will definitely come back!"

"I booked this restaurant on a friend's recommendation & I must say I was not disappointed. No wonder it’s got outstanding reviews. It’s a cosy little restaurant in Exmouth Market. The owner / chef Anilo is so very pleasant. He came out to welcome us at our table, which was quite nice. They serve Turkish cuisine and also the meat is Halal, which was perfect for my Muslim friend. Their signature dish, KISIR, was out of this world. It reminded me of my visit to Turkey. Authentic Turkish taste and friendly hospitality. Excellent customer service. I also loved their Turkish coffee. I am definitely going back and very highly recommend it."

"We had a wonderful experience eating at Anilo’s. My husband and I were in London just for a couple of days and we happened upon this place which was around the corner from our apartment. The food is fresh, and the flavors are exceptional! I got the platter and got to try their hummus, babaganush, falafal and a variety of other things, and every one if them was delicious. It’s a must to try if you’re there. And since my husband is always asking for spicy stuff, the chef came out and told us he was going to prepare a special pasta for him. And prepare he did! It was delicious!! Besides the food, the service is excellent too!!"

"Fantastic place. Was a bit quiet on Friday night but we decided to pop in for a visit. Very personal and fantastic service. The owner himself turned out to be our server and we struck up fantastic conversation. So much that the next night we went back for drinks and dessert. The food was spot on for Mediterranean with a Turkish twist. Highly recommend the baklava."
