  “This restaurant gets a 10/10. It was referred to us by our friend AJ from SENZO and we are certainly thankful for this recommendation. The atmosphere and service was excellent! I loved the fact that the played great music for all kinds. Azizbek was our waiter and he made sure that we had everything that we needed. He was very attentive and pleasant.

  “Visited on Monday with my family and we ordered the 2+ platter. There were four of us and it was still more than enough food for everyone. Everything came out fresh, well prepared, and the variety on the platter was great. The flavors were really good and everything tasted great. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere made it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal together. Overall a great experience and I’d definitely come back again with family.”

  “I came here last month with a few of my friends for dinner. Lokma is widely considered a solid, high-energy dining spot that works best for groups and celebrations rather than quiet, intimate dinners. With a 4.5-star rating on Google, it is praised for its generous portions and "Instagrammable" decor, though service can occasionally be hit-or-miss. It is a particularly popular fixture in Bermondsey Square for its blend of traditional Turkish cuisine and modern nightlife vibes. The menu focuses on authentic Turkish charcoal grills and mezze, often served in large, shareable formats. The Mixed Grill Platter is frequently cited as the standout dish, offering a massive selection of chicken and lamb cuts that offer great value for groups. Reviewers often recommend the Lamb Hummus (topped with crispy lamb and pine nuts) and the Sea Bass for seafood lovers. The bar is well-regarded for its cocktails, including twists like the "Espres-Tahini" martini. Lokma leans heavily into a lively, party-like atmosphere, especially on weekends. Expect loud music and live entertainment. On Friday and Saturday nights, they often host belly dancers, turning the dinner service into a show. The interior features bold colors and plush velvet seating. There is also a popular outdoor terrace in the square and a designated shisha lounge, which adds to the social, late-night appeal. Service is the most divisive aspect of the restaurant. While many guests report friendly and attentive staff (with specific mentions of helpful waiters), a noticeable number of reviews cite disorganization or slow service during peak times. It is generally safer to book in advance and be patient during the busy weekend rush. While the restaurant had a well-publicized hygiene issue in 2022, it has since been re-inspected. As of July 2024, government data rates its hygiene standards as Good, indicating the past issues have been resolved. It is located right in Bermondsey Square, about a 10-15 minute walk from London Bridge station.”
