I’m in LOVE. My friend & I are touring Europe and we stopped here before a show, the streets were a little busy but we were the only table. The prices (2 courses for £19, 3 for £21) seemed cheap so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away… but this meal was sensational. (We got salads, bourek, lamb, Mediterranean chicken, apple tart.) The owner stopped by our table and was extremely kind, as well as the chef. He brought over a freshly prepared sauce and spooned it from the saucepan onto our plates. It was so bright and flavorful, I would’ve eaten it by itself! The apple tart with custard was the best apple dessert I’ve ever had. Our server was very sweet, he even brought us coffee on the house. I’m planning a trip to Turkey because of this meal.
Very nice ambience and excellent service. The bistro1 has a great location with outside sitting area and amazing mezzes. The place is very popular for tourists and Londoners!. The kitchen has the flavours of the Mediterranean and Turkish cusine. They also has a great cocktail offer 2 for £15.90
Simple and efficient if you want a quick and cheerful meal before you embark to theatre land .
Food was good, service was good, and it didn't break the bank.
I came here for a birthday dinner recently and had a decent time. Though unapparent from the name ‘Bistro 1’, it seems to be a Turkish-owned restaurant with a distinct Turkish theme running through the menu.
Food was simple and ok - at 3 courses for under £20 - value is pretty good and expectations were not unmet.
I ordered the falafel and humus, the lamb shish and the banoffee pie. All in all, I quite enjoyed my meal.
Teşekkürler.
Whilst I only had a drink here, the staff were amazing friendly and we ended up having a very nice conversation after the staff guessed my perfume. The atmosphere here is very authentic and this looks to be a nice place to eat. I will most certainly be back for food one day. There was an optional service charge added to the bill.
Everything is perfect in this place. The atmosphere, the service has friendly servicial staff, but the food is just delicious.
Inexpensive and tasty meditaranian food. Friendly and helpful staff and cheap two or three course meals where you can pick and choose from the menu. Perfectly located in the heart of Soho and the theatre district.
Wonderful!!! They do set menu all day. If you like Mediterranean food you should definitely visit. Loved the service as well.
We booked a table for 8pm but had to wait outside a bit as the place was totally full, previous table hadnt left yet. The staff were great, all seemed to be having fun, good family vibe. The food was nice, good value, youll struggle to get better in Soho, the host even gave me and my date a large glass each on the house before we left. Definitely coming again
For it's value, this place is amazing for London. Really attentive and friendly staff, big food portions and convenient location. Would really recommend for a pre Theatre bite to eat for example.
