Cafe Bistro

Very nice Turkish restaurant/cafe serving some traditional Turkish dishes and some English brunch dishes. Great location next to Great Portland Street station. Beautifully decorated and friendly, attentive staff. We ordered the Vegetarian breakfast, Dolma, Menemen and Halva and Baklava to share between 3.

Delicious breakfast that makes me travel to Istanbul with grilled halloumi and spicy sausage and fresh vegetables with a hint of passion fruit sauce : just yummy :) . The place is lovable and cozy with amazing decoration . On top of everything perfect service with caring staff. I will be back for sure as it is a top 1 café on my London list.

So good! Located literally right next to Great Portland Street Underground Station. Lovely bistro, has like a restaurant and cafe feel. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean. Nice ambience. I got a lovely window seat. Huge variety on the menu from Turkish dishes to pasta, burgers, salads, dessert, breakfast and more. They give complimentary bread and olives too as you are waiting for your food. I had the chicken kebab which was a breast of chicken marinated with herbs and then grilled. This came with rice and a light salad. So good! Divine. Well presented, freshly made and a perfect portion size for one. Good healthy balanced meal. Ask for the home-made chilli sauce! So nice. I loved my meal and gladly finished everything. Chicken was perfectly grilled and lightly marinated. I couldn't fault it. They have a good selection of drinks too from wines to juices. I just had a still water. Service was very good and food comes out quickly once you order. Staff were attentive and friendly, yet they left diners to enjoy their meals in peace. Not too badly priced. Highly recommend!

One of our favourite eateries in London, unpromisingly situated between the disused public toilets at Great Portland Street station, this is a popular and busy restaurant/cafe/bistro. Seating either side of the main entrance, lots of small tables that can be put together for more than 2-4 people. Excellent Turkish mezzes and mains (tip: order your starters first and see how you feel - dips and breads can be filling!). Pasta dishes also very good. Efes beer by the pint, and good Turkish wines. Friendly staff; booking advised, although walk-ins possible unless they're really busy.
