“Best representative of Turkish cuisine! This place here shows that Turkish cuisine is not only about kebabs and gives you chance to experience what Turkish people eat on their daily life, in the most tasty way. Many different types of meals there are the best I’ve ever eaten. Beautifully hosting their guest. Thanks for the effort, it’s worth coming from miles away to eat here”

“The business owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. The variety of food is quite large and indeed very delicious, the portions are more than satisfying, and the side treats are lovely. It is an establishment with a very high standard of hygiene, but what I liked the most is that they care about the hygiene of the customers, not just the shop. There are plenty of napkins on the table, which is not something easy to see. Besides this, they also have wet wipes and colognes on the table, which is a truly wonderful thing, you don't see this anywhere. They really deserve every penny they earn. Since my wife is pregnant, they came over multiple times to ask if she needed anything and offered extra treats, I would like to thank them specifically for this.”

“We tried Chef’s Plate in this lovely Family run restaurant which was a mixture of almost all the food cooked on daily basis. We absolutely loved it. It was tasty, fresh and cooked with love and attention to detail. I loved the fact that they only use healthy ingredients like real butter and Himalaya salt in their cooking and even on the tables. Had a cup of lovely complementary tea as well. Recommend it to everyone. We travelled from Dalston To North London and it was well worth the trip 👍🏻❤️”
