It's ok if you like that sort of thing..

Thethe staff are friendly, the food is good and reasonably price but what will always let it down is that every time we go, there are always several items that are sold out, no matter how early you arrive.

It’s always heaving in there which means that if you do get a table it is very loud. The food is nice but nothing extraordinary – I think because everyone I know has said how amazing this place is I was expecting something superb, but I felt let down when I went there because I’d only rate it as average. It’s not very intimate as the tables are so close together you almost feel like you are dining with the people on the tables next to you. You also leave the restaurant stinking of oil from their kitchens which isn’t nice. I only go there if invited by friends or family for a special occasion, otherwise I’d usually give this a miss

This restaurant is always busy and they operate on a reservation only basis on Friday and Saturday nights as they are so busy. Portions are generous, but note that if you order kebabs they do not come wrapped unless you ask them to be so prepared and your bread will be served on the side. The meze is amazing and the best way to find out what you like for your next visit as you get to try a bit of everything. If you want take away call them in advance to prepare your food so you don’t have to wait in the restaurant. This is part of a small chain of Izgara restaurants and I have eaten at another Izgara in Edgware, but the portions there seem to be smaller.

You can have it grilled or fried, with chips or potatoes endless choice and friendly staff. The only downside is you can't book, so get there early or be prepared to wait.. Unless of course you pop next door to the takeaway!

You wont find more tasty food for that value in London. Highly recommended..
