Mehboob Rehmany, was an awesome waiter. Sincere to his customers and exceeding our expectations. Great food, and brilliant atmosphere at Kebir.
I’m really glad we spent our time and money here; it was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was friendly, the staff were polite, and the food was delicious. The only downside was that the lights near the entrance were a bit blinding, but that was really the only negative thing from tonight. I live in this neighborhood, and we really needed a restaurant like this. I had passed by this old restaurant for a long time, and its closure was quite frustrating. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice evening out. A unique and enjoyable aspect of this restaurant is its bar, which offers a wide selection of cocktails and drinks for those who enjoy alcoholic beverages.
What an Amazing restaurant, specially with new management Mr Keivan who runs the front restaurant Babanoosh too. Test it before become late.. a special desert menu and also good selection of alc drinks...
We had a family party here tonight with 10 people & 2 more joining us for drinks later. Staff were friendly and service was great. Food was on point. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend. Forgot to take pictures but here is one of mixed fish kebab!
The best Turkish dishes that I've had so far in this area. Salmon & lamb highly recommended, delicious.
A unique and special restaurant. We truly enjoyed it. It gives you a luxurious feeling, yet the prices and food quality are unbelievable. I can confidently say they serve the best kebabs among Turkish restaurants in the area and London. We found out that this building is about 200 years old and was one of the first Waitrose shops in London. It was also among the first music shops and recording studios, where Eric Clapton once spent time. We are grateful that you didn’t alter the structure and preserved the authenticity of the building. We will definitely be your regular customers. The service was excellent. I give full marks for quality. The interior is unique and different. The pricing was fair. Just look at the food in my photo
Had a lovely anniversary dinner. The food quality was excellent the service friendly and attentive and the atmosphere spot on! Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We will be back for sure and can heartily recommend Kebir for a great evening out.
Great food and service, really lovely team. We were very well looked after, the lamb chops were amazing as was everything else on the large platter for just over £90. Enough food for 5!! And everything was delicious the Turkish wine was also yummy, can't wait to go back and try the whole hot meze list
