Customer Review Summary
Lamb is the clear draw at Liman, with diners singling out the lamb chops as succulent and cooked perfectly, the lamb shank as so generous that one packed leftovers to take home, and the lamb skewers as tender and juicy. Close behind are the starters, including prawns, scallops, calamari, borek, and hummus with crispy pitta, along with kebabs, meatballs, and fresh fish such as seabass and bream. Reviewers also mention a divine moussaka and a huge mixed shish, and describe the atmosphere as cosy and the staff as friendly. The recurring complaint is pacing. One large group found the wait between dishes long enough that some were falling asleep, and another lunch party said the food took very long to arrive, though both still called the food good or great. One Mother's Day diner found the lamb chops had run out and switched to the lamb shank, and noted the busy room was noisy with chatter. Service was still called flawless in that visit.

“Thoroughly delicious and authentic Turkish food served here. Prawn starter amazing. As was the scallop starter. Lamb is good here for mains. I can vouch for the kebabs and the chops. This is a very nice place indeed.”

“Mother’s Day dinner unfortunately they had run out of lamb chops which was what I had hoped for so I tried a lamb shank instead. My first lamb shank and there was so much meat I packed some to take home. Service was flawless. The restaurant was busy so quite noisy with all the chatter but this didn’t bother me”

“I had not visited Liman for a few years so was hoping it was still as good as I remembered. We were not disappointed . Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We were a big group so tried many dishes between us including prawns, calamari, borek and various dips followed by a divine moussaka, mixed shish (which was huge) seabass , bream, lamb shank to name a few of the mains. Would recommend you try Liman for beautiful flavours and a cosy atmosphere!”
