Yamabahce Turkish Restaurant

A little wait up sit down. Had to call staff over to order. Fresh juice was in a tiny glass - definitely not value for the price. So I wouldn't recommend. Food was good. Menu was limited at they didn't have a few things we wanted. We got a large selection l. Kofta, chicken, hummus, fries, lentil soup and salad. Chicken was definitely the best thing we ordered. Desert was good and the staff waited for us to finish before it was served despite it being near closing.

Quite a busy and popular place. We have to get attention to ask to be seated. The waiter pointed us to a table while the manager was telling us to get back in line, we explained that the waiter asked us to sit here. Seemed like he was anniyed with the staff. After hanging around for a bit, he gave us another table and wouldn't let us have the one we were allocated originally. Normally I wouldn't mind where we sat but I had a friend on crutches with me and we needed confy seats for her. I was surprised there was no emphathy for a women on crutches and he actually asked us to get back into line which meant my friend had to walk around to the other side of the restaurant. Once we were seated we were attended to swiftly. The food was very nice. Highly recommend the tomato salad.

Probably one of the handful of places I would wait in a que for. Located in the heart of James street, Yamabahce has a lot of footfall and consequently has long waits. We generally travel from North London, specifically for Yamabahce, so thats extra time spent. However, every minute is worth is, the waiters and waitresses are generally very friendly, the service is efficient and that makes it up to me. ‘Kusbasi Pide’ and ‘the tandir’ are our favourite dishes on the carefully tailored menu. I love their Cortado’s too. Give it a try!

Food was really good We had: Menemen: it was great well balanced and tasty. Kaymak & honey: it had a very smooth texture that tasted heavenly. Cacik: which is yogurt, I recommend having it with bread. Cheese pide: it had the original taste which was great. Turkish tea: great after a nice meal. Baklava: it was nice
