Appetizing dishes in Edgware

“Mmmm shashlik! Tender, spicy but not hot spicy......make your mouth water spicy. Charcoal chicken wings. Not the skinny flappy bit but,the shoulder and bicep. A tiny sprinkle of fresh lemon juice drizzled into the munchable, tender chicken. The starter dip things.... FANTASTIC Turkish naan. Light and fluffy with a good outside crunch, dipped into fresh proper humus. A garlicy yoghurt dip thing. Grilled onion quarters in a pomegranate sauce. A fresh and tangy salad with tomatoes, cos lettuce, cucumber, onion. Often Turkish salads that I've had have just been sprinkled with vinegar which, can make them slightly bland. Not so Charcoal's salad dressing. Imagine a charcoaled meat selection served on a bed of rice with a chips border and a sort of thin, round flatbread covering to keep the aroma and heat contained. Lamb shish in very small,succulent cubes on wooden skewers. The charcoal chicken wings, shashlik, thin strips of doner.thick, tender lamb chunks. Add a glass of Turkish red wine (or three). Maybe some Turkish tea with something sweet for those of us who like the slightest perspiration invoked by overeating. Yes, they do takeaway. Yes they have all sorts of fizzy drinks. But, they are not your usual Turkish takeaway. This place is well worth a sit-down for an hour or so and serious, professional eating. Opposite Lidl so maybe, if you do some shopping in Lidl - you could park there. Personally, I think it's worth taking the Northern line and walking from Edgware statation. A couple of outside tables for those that need a quick cigarette or an afternoon cup of coffee and a baklava. I was introduced by a friend who is Turkish and himself a retired restaurateur. In the 20 plus years I have known him - he has always steered me to places that are good quality and not overpriced. This isn't a place with fancy carpets and bow tie waiters. It's like a mum n dad place who care and concentrate on flavour.”

“The food was delicious and the staff was always attentive and made sure if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. We will definitely come back.”

“Awesome experience as usual Service was good and food was even better! I look forward to the continued growth and seeing more slam burgers open up. Very good to know that all their stores are halaal. The new store is so well kitted out. The branding is great, the store is very clean and they even have a little kids play area. I would highly recommend and will go back.”

“Found this spot by mistake. Food was amazing! The Nutella French toast was second to none, extremely well presented and tasted great. We also had the veg shakshuka and Cloud7 chicken bun. Both tasted amazing and was very filling. A family owned business and the staff and owner were wonderful. Definitely revisiting!!”

“Exceptional food and customer service, the best Lebanese food I've had on Edgeware Road, and I've tried almost all of them. Give them a try, it was incredible”

“Highly recommended this branch of Farsi Restaunrant, Staff nice, food was delicious what I was expecting, reasonable price. Definitely visit them again.”

“We found ourselves in Edgeware an not sure where to go for a meal. So many restraunts which all look good! Then we found Izgara a Turkish restaurant! The place is just beautiful inside and the staff are so attentive. The food is beautifully prepared and is well presented Service was quick, and it's one of the best meals that we have had out this year! If we lived in London this would be our go to place! However next time we are in London we will definitely be back!”

“My local Italian restaurant, the food is always spot on, can't fault it, always tasty and nice portions. Can walk in, but I suggest at busier times it better to book. Never been let down here, the good is consistently good. I always dine in, so can't comment on the takeaway. Plenty of free parking at the Sainsbury just behind, a few minutes walk. Awesome”

“Amazing food! Highly recommended. Had loads of Italian. Delicious and top notch.”

“Tasty, great value, friendly service. Just what you need at 7am on a Sunday after driving from Nottingham”

“This place never fails! Top service. Authentic Food. The vibe is just Great here. Perfect for a date night! Definitely would come back:)”

“A very vibrant place. I was there on a Saturday evening. They offered me a bigger table as it was quite crowded, with the agreement that I will leave in an hour or so, agreeable given the time I had visited. Even through the crowd the people kept checking in if everything was okay and if I needed anything. Chicken 65 (Saucy) was really good. Although the Chicken Tikka was a bit different from my expectations, but it was good. Personally for me it did not suit. Good music, excellent staff and very good service. Will visit again soon to try out their other dishes. Thank you Flavours.”

“Came on valentines day with my husband and honestly was amazed at how tasty the waffle bites were. Also got complimentary strawberries with our order. Highly recommend!!”

“Lovely pizza . New shop in Edgware very welcoming staff”

“Confused to see some of the reviews here.. I found the customer service here excellent, waiters were friendly and food was served promptly. I will give the food a 4/5 - the welcoming ambiance that pushes it to a 5/5. Will be coming back here again soon with family and friends!”

“It is nice but recently it's been a bit of chaos there. Me and my friend went there for a coffee but the place was a mess. The tables were dirty and lots of dirty cups on top. I wasn't pleased to see that! I hope they can fix this..”

“The foods are excellent and delicious with excellent and fast delivery. I have only noticed that their menu is updated with increase and it doesn’t reflected in google map for customers to check. I have also noticed nice and cooperation staff but unfortunately with no good words and smile in the exist. Anyways, it is recommended to opportunity and taste their delicious foods.”

“The food here is so authentic and delicious! The portions are quite generous as well, which is nice since you could take some home for leftovers… very clean restaurant as well. Definitely recommend”
