Izgara Finchley

As a regular at this wonderful Turkish restaurant, I can honestly say the service is always top-notch. Every visit, the staff greets me warmly and provides attentive, friendly, and efficient service that makes dining here a real pleasure. Today’s lunch was another fantastic experience. The food continues to impress with its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. My lunch plate was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with tender grilled meat and a crisp salad. The freshly baked bread were just as delicious as ever. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal, this place never disappoints. The atmosphere is inviting and the quality is consistent, which is why I keep coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Turkish cuisine with excellent service!

I recently visited this place and had a wonderful experience! Although the space is a bit small, everything else more than made up for it. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. The staff were attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and a warm vibe!

Very disappointing dining experience again! Izgara is very overrated, especially compared to other Turkish restaurants. Also, to highlight this, the Pinner branch is better. In my personal opinion, there are much better Turkish restaurants out there you can try, such as Gokyuzu, Likya, Kerwan, etc. The atmosphere is awful, and the restaurant was overcrowded and unbelievably cramped. You're literally right next to another diner's table. People coming in and leaving had to squeeze past us (and other diners, not just us), and at one point, I had to move our table to let them pass. If you're looking for a romantic or chilled vibe, then this is not it; it just reminds me of Pizza Hut. The only saving grace was the bread. At the beginning, I'm glad they got it right, along with the chilli sauce. I ordered the mixed grill, which cost £29. What a letdown that was! First of all, the portion size is awful, and you get one lamb chop, three chicken wings, one kofta kebab, three small lamb ribs, three pieces of chicken shish, and one piece of lamb shish. With a choice of rice or bulgur rice, I did ask for mixed rice and bulgur, which other places are fine with, but they simply don't offer it. The bulgur rice was okay, but it didn't have as much flavour as other Turkish restaurants I have visited. My regret was that I didn't order the rice; at least I would have been happier and content with the bland taste. Everything was bland, just like my previous experience, and honestly, the kofta kebab can easily be made at home – watch a YouTube video; it's literally the same recipe. In fact, you can make a better meal at home for a fraction of the price. My wife ordered the meat moussaka, which was okay. I wouldn't say it was terrible, and the portion size wasn't too bad. The mocktail was so sweet that it tasted like sugar mixed with flavoured water. The dessert menu looked boring. You have to ask for the complimentary tea at the end; most places just offer it automatically, like Likya and Gokyuzu. Would I return? No!

Wonderful service! Hello Izgara team, today it was a memorable night, it was my brother’s birthday and we had our dinner at Izgara. All I can say, it’s a birthday he will never forget ! We had lovely Turkish food , the service was wonderful and lovely atmosphere with happy vibes .Staff was very friendly and kind special thanks to Sude & Nate! Thank you so much for everything, and thanks for playing the birthday song three times 😂!The San Sebastian cheesecake was very delicious !

My son and I walked in for an early dinner. We were greeted by lovely Adeena who very kindly offered us a table close to a heater as we had walked in from the freezing cold. She and her colleagues gave wonderful service. Food arrived quickly. The bread and sauces came promptly- delicious warm tasty bread . I am not a fan of the Turkish pepper sauce but this one was rather good. We had tasty borek. Both of us love aubergine and were slightly disappointed with the portion size but no complaints about the taste. Son asked regarding portion size of sea bass and was delighted that it was more than adequate. The request to swap mash for bulgar was accommodated too. My mixed shish was tender and flavourful. We also took home Adana kofte for husband who couldn’t join us unfortunately. I must say even though it was an hour later that he ate it, the dish was fabulous! And I have to say the table lights were great: no flickering led candles here! Overall a great meal out.
