About Capital Restaurant
Capital Restaurant is a family-run Turkish restaurant in London, at 30 Hammersmith Broadway, directly opposite Hammersmith tube station. The owner and his son run the grill, and the house special is a mixed shish kebab, a shareable plate for the table. The grill menu also lists Adana kofte and lamb ribs. Meat comes with bread, fresh salad and a choice of sauces and dips, and home-cooked Turkish dishes sit alongside the grills. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the mixed grill and the meat on it, with the mixed shish kebab called generous and tasty and the lamb ribs described as cooked to perfection. Close behind are fresh vegetables, salad and sauces, plus generous portions and sides that several call good value, and a regular describes home cooked options beyond the grills. The owner and his son are called welcoming, and several reviewers find the staff friendly. Service is the recurring complaint. One reviewer says it took a while to be greeted and seated and then another five minutes to get a menu, another describes a waitress who seemed upset and wasn't polite, and one says four staff confronted them aggressively over putting their feet on a second chair outside. A critical diner found the lamb shish dry and lacking seasoning, though the grilled wings were praised as crisp and juicy, and noted a patron leaving after waiting to be served. One reviewer calls the prices crazy London prices. The most vivid praise comes from a diner who singled out a waiter for attentive service that wasn't overbearing.

“We were in Hammersmith, London for 7 days. Of course, we could have gone to an expensive restaurant, but we tried this place for the first time and they were friendly, the service was good, the food was good, and the vegetables were fresh. What more could one ask for? I recommend this place to people staying near Hammersmith Station. If we ever come back, it will be this restaurant again. Kind regards, The 2 Dutch people. 28-8-2026.”

“Extremely negative experience. I was sitting outside, simply talking on the phone, using a second chair to rest my feet on, and I was actually planning to order food. Instead, four members of staff confronted me at the same time in an unnecessarily aggressive and intimidating way. Four members of staff surrounding and confronting one customer over something so minor is completely unacceptable 🙁 ‼️ I definitely won’t be buying food from here — there’s enough negative energy in this place already. One customer lost for good — me”

“A great place for Turkish food, the mixed shish kebab was very generous and tasty. Staff were very friendly overall a great place for a quick bite to eat.”

“I always have my lunch here. Very good genuine Turkish food you even have home cooked options if you are tired of restaurant food and grills. The owner and his son are super welcoming and will take care of you. They are also very generous with portions and sides, very good value for money. Eat Turkish”

“Firstly, when me and my friend entered it took us a while to be greeted and seated. Once we had been finally seated it took another 5 minutes to get the menu .The waiting time to be served felt like we were begging to be served.We were waited by an East African woman who was incredibly rude she made us feel like we were bothering her and could not answer simple questions about portions.We saw her catering others in a polite manner but giving us almost the cold shoulder.Honestly the food is good but only come if you want to be treated with BAD SERVICE!!”
