    Oklava is doing Turkish & Cypriot food in it's own way. Strongly suggest Pide, meat dishes, cauliflower and finally Kunefe as a desert. They surprisingly have selection of local Turkish wine Urla.

    The food is amazing. However it is tapas style, thus expensive. They have put me on the table in front of the entrance door which was left open by anybody who stepped into the place. I was freezing

    This place is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London! The food is exquisite and the staff were the friendliest. Try the hellim, the rice pudding, muammara & whipped feta!

    Yes. They know the craft and have skilled people which reflects on what they serve. Contemporary Turkish with Mediterranean written over it ;)

    Innovative Turkish food - I'd order again: bread with date butter, hellim (halloumi), pide, and kunefe for dessert... I'd rotate the other dishes. Interesting wine selection from Turkey & the Caucasus

    Real gem of a restaurant. Excellent modern Turkish / Cypriot food. Vibrant flavours, zesty and tasty salads, all the pide breads were excellent. Sausage appetizers were spectacular.

    Modern Turkish cuisine. Everything was tasty and beautifully presented, however it didn't blow my mind. It's okay, just not amazing.

    Highly recommend the short rib pide. Pomegranate lamb and the aubergine dish also good.

    Modern turkish food - the grilled halloumi was bomb. Not a fan of the very popular grilled cauliflower though - bit too salty for my liking

    We liked the food, however the service was really slow (took us 2h to eat a pre-set Sunday roast). Would be better to bring all starters and all mains at the same time.

    Food is great but the "small plates" approach was disappointing.

    Nice vibe and food but quiet pricey. Not recommended for people that like lamb.

    It was disappointing. The portions of the meals was small and the taste was not satisfied compared to prices.

    A charming little gem with a wonderful modern take on Turkish cuisine! The cauliflower is literally to die! 👍🏼
