Dining in Edgware

“Fresh clean and great food . Staff always smiling and very cheerful. Recommend it”

“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.”

“This is more like a smart cafe than a formal restaurant with a family friendly ambience. When we were here, there were plenty of people with children around (Saturday 530pm). We got a max platter, which was always going to be more food than we needed for two adults and two children but would be perfect for four adults. The meats were excellent and we went for rice instead of chips which was good as an extra. Definitely very good value for money and the quality of the food is as good as many of the more upmarket Turkish restaurants in nearby areas.”

“So good I visited this place twice during my 2 week visit to London (and the GG Soyo twice as well) the smoked salmon is beyond delicious and the portion sizes are pretty big. The toffee cappuccino is just a little luxurious must.”

“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.”

“Nando's never disappoints with food, but lately, the plates have disappeared. I would like plate to eat from, so far, cutlery is still there, so we're good Seems a little lost and chaotic Music is good Food is good What's not to like”

“No doubt the best in the area. Visit today , love the Munch box spot on. highly recommended.”

“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.”

“I placed my order for two double beds and it came on time. I had a really good experience and everything they were selling was very would quality. I would definitely come back and recommend to others”

“The value for money is just perfect! Food is absolutely delicious and staff is super friendly and welcoming! I wish the tables were a bit wider but it's still getting 5/5 as the food and staff are brilliant!”

“Ordered here after a long time Really impressed with the quality of pizzas Delivery really quick and tasted better then Pizza Hut which I’ve really gone off as the quality of food is absolutely awful Also read order notes unlike others who ignore”

“We returned from a two night stay . All staff were helpful and friendly in the bar reception and restaurant and dealt with all our requirements . Breakfast was hot and plentiful with good variety. We had two evening meals which were hot and well presented . Everywhere was clean neat and tidy. We would return in the future . Only down side thought car parking was expensive £24 Thank you to you all .”

“My first experience of Jamaican food. I always wanted to try jerk chicken at carnival but I end up too merry! This is the next best thing. Absolutely delicious :)”

“Service great, food was nice, we had starters and mains, bit will be returning at another date for pudding. Our server(Amber) was very good at suggesting drinks and food. Nice atmosphere.”

“It was the first time I ordered from this place. All I can say the food was amazing, very nice and tasty. Omg a dream! My friend Jean who unfortunately passed away a few months ago due to Covid always used to order from here and she always praised their food I will definitely order again and again. Thank you so much!”

“Excellent service and food. It was busy but the staff were very helpful and took great care of all the diners. We will certainly eat there again.”

“A welcoming kitchen is a positive and very friendly boy. And last but not least, food is one of the best prices for anyone. Recommend to try”

“Not to complain, I had good service, the pizza arrives hot and before the scheduled time … very nice price, taste and special offers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Best Food in town ! I usually eat here 3-4 times a month. No week without the Toni’s prawns:)) The restaurant is small but good food and atmosphere. Give it a try . Lots of variety of drinks . You should try the lamb chops and pizza is delicious. Small menu but satisfactory . Small business which just started in summer needs our support to grow.”

“I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the pizza in Pizza Di Loro. I had a pizza of the house, with a couple of "ichnuso" beers. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups.”

“I usually eat at Patiala Xpress, however wanted to try some food from yaki ya, boy o boy was i amazed and blown away with the taste and the freshness of the food. I was speachless and the perfection of the food. Amazing katsu curry, bento boxes were out of this world Everyone should go and tey the food here Staff is amazing, very friendly and the experience was more than wow.”

“I just had lunch here. Absolutely amazing - best falafel ever! So much taste and the home made chilli sauce is delicious.”

“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!!”

“Really great little place this. I was walking past on a Saturday morning, noticed this place, popped in. Fantastically decorated inside & out, nice open front and good coffee, the food looked good even though I didn't have any myself, will definitely be coming here again for sure.”

“Great place to get salt beef. The staff are very friendly and kind. I really can't rate them higher. The apple strudel Is a personal favourite too”
