I booked this restaurant on a friend's recommendation & I must say I was not disappointed. No wonder it’s got outstanding reviews. It’s a cosy little restaurant in Exmouth Market. The owner / chef Anilo is so very pleasant. He came out to welcome us at our table, which was quite nice. They serve Turkish cuisine and also the meat is Halal, which was perfect for my Muslim friend. Their signature dish, KISIR, was out of this world. It reminded me of my visit to Turkey. Authentic Turkish taste and friendly hospitality. Excellent customer service. I also loved their Turkish coffee. I am definitely going back and very highly recommend it.

Absolutely delicious meze and wonderful service. We went for Valentine’s Day and each couple was given a rose for one to give to the other - such a cute touch. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious, our favourites being the cacik and kisir salad. The meats were all delicious and well cooked too. The table next to us had the julienne of beef (which I think was said to be Anilo’s recipe) and it smelled divine! We’ll definitely order next time. Our waitress was lovely, attentive and hilarious, and Anilo was so welcoming. Thank you!

On my own in London for work, so decided to opt for Anilo's as it looked good kerbside appeal. I did my usual of asking for recommendations from the staff team; had a mocktail, hummus for starter, julienne beef for main and baklava for dessert; finished with a coffee and Turkish delight. All the food was delicious; being super picky I'd have liked ice cream with the baklava (I didn't ask so that's an observation not a criticism). The ambiance in the place was fantastic and the staff were attentive and helpful. Definitely with a visit for a lightish tea with Turkish origins.

We were saved from a very cold evening and no reservation. The staff were exceptionally accommodating to find a table and the food was delicious! Great vibe, lovely Spanish twist to traditional Turkish food and cool rockabilly atmosphere! Turkish coffee was excellent

We had a wonderful experience eating at Anilo’s. My husband and I were in London just for a couple of days and we happened upon this place which was around the corner from our apartment. The food is fresh, and the flavors are exceptional! I got the platter and got to try their hummus, babaganush, falafal and a variety of other things, and every one if them was delicious. It’s a must to try if you’re there. And since my husband is always asking for spicy stuff, the chef came out and told us he was going to prepare a special pasta for him. And prepare he did! It was delicious!! Besides the food, the service is excellent too!!

I only gave five star because there isn’t a six star option… Friend and I were hunting for food late at night. This place run by amazingly warm Turkish staff was spontaneously open because customers kept coming. They treat late customers with empty stomachs like family and everyone was smiling as if at home. If only there are more places like this in London… Food wise - we ordered seafood and lamb meatballs tapas and one of their signature dish. The taste was impeccable. Even a random beer was way beyond my expectation. What a magical experience… will definitely come back!

We had such a fun and AMAZING meal at Anilo’s kitchen. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. Tess and Ivy took such great care of us and truly made us feel so welcome. Ivy mixed up some amazing drinks behind the bar and Tess kept us full and happy throughout our entire stay. Everything on the menu is fantastic, you can’t go wrong with anything!

From the moment I entered Anilo's Kitchen, I was greeted with a smile that instantly made me feel at home. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The staff exuded genuine warmth and friendliness, going above and beyond to ensure that every customer felt valued and well taken care of. We went as a party of 3 with my two brothers. Now, let's talk about the food! Anilo's Kitchen truly knows how to make taste buds dance with joy. Each dish I tried was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavors that left me craving for more. The menu offers a diverse array of options, catering to various dietary preferences and ensuring there is something to please everyone. Whether you're a fan of classic comfort food or more adventurous flavors, Anilo's Kitchen has you covered! One particular highlight of my visit was the giant prawn. It was an absolute revelation, a very meaty and juicy prawn I must say. They hugged us goodbye as well! :) So if you are looking to spend a memorable and good time, highly recommend!!

We had the best time at Anilo’s Kitchen. Anilo is a wonderful host and treated us like family. The rest of the staff were wonderful too. Very caring and attentive. I really enjoyed the falafel, padron peppers and borek (we had the vegetarian options). Will definitely be back! Thank you so much Anilo and your team. 😍

Fantastic crew working at Anilo’s Kitchen tonight! The amazing food was only outdone by the wonderful hospitality! Our 2 daughters both agreed it was the best hummus they have ever had and my wife cooed over the chicken shish! To put a cap on the night the presentation of the drinks was down right amazing! Thank you all!
