Kosebasi London

Went here in December before Xmas as I live locally and

Very good Turkish mezes and kebaps! Same taste as the one in Istanbul! Well done

Such a disappointing evening. We went for a dinner on my birthday with my kids 8 and 10). We had to prompt the staff to give us menus and then to take our orders these were the signs that we had a slow night ahead of us. The food was good but it took 30 mins for cold) starters to arrive and 1.5 hours for mains. This was a Wednesday evening in October so hardly peak season. We kept being promised that food would arrive soon but it didn’t. After eventually asking that they sort things out they did realise that things had gone wrong. They did offer a free ice cream or bavlaba but after we declined saying we needed to get the kids to bed they didn’t offer a single penny off the bill and still added the automatically included service charge. I expect others have had fine experiences at this establishment, but I certainly shan’t be darkening it’s door again. Given the wide choice of restaurants locally and the demise of the previous restaurant on this site it does not augur well for these guys long term. A massive disappointment as I love the concept and it could be such a winner. :

Excellent turkish food meat platter will satisfy the carnivores but there are plenty of other options too. lighting a little bright

We had a lovely evening with our friends from Greece. Food was great, ambiance was great. Köşebaşı does great job on bringing Turkish taste to London. Highly recommended.
