Selale - London

Came to the Selale Restaurant to celebrate my niece’s nikah (wedding ceremony). All families were invited to the restaurant to celebrate after the official religious Islamic ceremony. The restaurant is on a very busy high road. Parking is free on Sunday on single yellow and street bays but please park responsibly. The restaurant has a very large floor space with the front having an open style opening which allows you to look inside from the street and creates a lovely street style eating vibe. Total capacity must be over 300+. When we arrived we were shown by staff to our side area which you can book for an event or occasion, even though some tables reserved we had customers eating on them. This was quickly resolved by management and after half an hour wait for some relatives everyone was seated. The restaurant was very busy with all section full of customer enjoying their meal. For our function we were given a set menu of cold starters meze with bread and salad offered with tap water. Main food came after half an hours as mains were confirmed. Starters were very nice, fresh and tasty. Main platters followed next with shawarma, chops, ribs, rice and meat and chicken bites and wings. Food was lovely, hot, fresh and very tasty. Some found the food salty but for me it was ok what I expected from a Turkish platter and Turkish food. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly, helpful and great service. They took good care of us changing plates, cutlery as required and top up salad/sauces and water as requested. They were fast and efficient. After mains they served us desert which was given by the brides family rashmalai sweets and the restaurant served it with Turkish tea and lovely combination. Everything was done smoothly and everyone enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere created. Thank you to all staff and management!!

We went in here to get food for takeaway and it was amazing! Had halloumi to share as a starter, then I had a chicken donner wrap and my partner had lamb kofta. We both loved what we got. The salad in my wrap was amazing too the whole thing was much bigger than I expected! The staff were really friendly too!

This restaurant has the most friendly staff and the best care, not to mention the food which was divine! Lots of different options to choose from and lots of flavour. The service was fantastic and the waiters were amazing, I’d like to point out one waiter in particular (Zinar) who waited on our table the most. He was always watching our table for any flaws or anything missing, we didn’t have to ask him for anything as he knew what was missing and just brought it straight to our table. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be going many more times myself.

Went for a friend's birthday. Warm welcome, although the staff took long to bring out the salad and bread with the sauces at the start (1hour) and they delayed in taking the orders. Food was good nothing amazing. Be careful the floors are slippery.
