  “Absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh, delicious and full of flavour. The portions are generous and the staff are lovely and welcoming. I’ve eaten here many times and have always had a great experience. The Turkish dishes are authentic and really tasty, especially the grilled meats. Highly recommend this restaurant — definitely one of my favourite places in Dalston! ❤️”

  “My mum loves this place and has been coming for ages, we said we wanted to eat in and they done take away, and didn’t even care that they messed up the order no apology no fixing the situation just ignoring the whole issue. To be freak it made us not want to come again. En azından insan özür diler hatasına ama öyle bir şey olmadı “ yanlış yaptım al git” gibi bir şey oldu çok ayıp.”

  “**A Must-Visit in Hackney** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you consider yourself a fan of Turkish food and you haven’t tried Omet 2000, you quite simply do not know Turkish food. The atmosphere here is amazing, and the service is absolutely outstanding. The chef is a legend. He came over to our table, greeted us, and made us feel so welcome. As for the food, everything was incredible. The kofta was hands down the best I’ve ever had, the chicken thighs were amazing, and the liver was out of this world. Even the bread, rice, and salad were spot on. Do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is something truly special.”

  “It is not the greatest place to sit in. However, the food was great. The service was typical Turkish hospitality and That is all what you can ask on an evening with good friends. Did I mention i had the best bbq liver ever? ?”

  “This restaurant is genuinely one of my happy places in London. It strikes the perfect balance between price, flavour, and atmosphere without compromising on any of them; something that’s incredibly rare. In my opinion, it’s the best Turkish restaurant in London. The food has a depth of flavour that’s unforgettable, especially the grill, which has clearly been seasoned through decades of use. There’s a distinctive smoky richness to the meat that you simply cannot replicate or find elsewhere. The service is always warm, welcoming, and attentive, even when they’re busy. That said, if you can go during a quieter period, the experience becomes even more special and relaxed. Some restaurants feed you. Some restaurants become part of your life. This place is the latter.”

  “Their food is excellent. I’ve had the Adana and liver many times, and they do both really well. The male staff are generally good. However, the service can be inconsistent—especially with some of the older female staff, who I assume might be the owners. There seems to be a difference in how they treat customers; Turk or Kurd customers sometimes receive less attentive service compared to others. I think many people would understand what I mean. For example, last year I went there to eat, and when the place started getting busy, one of the female staff (possibly the owner) took off her cardigan and left it on my table. A young male waiter later came and apologetically removed it. Moments like that can feel quite strange. That said, the food is genuinely outstanding.But the service side definitely needs improvement.”

  “One of the best Turkish grills around Dalston—and in London, too. The oversized grill greeting you at the entrance is a sign you’re about to enjoy some of the best Turkish-style lamb and chicken in the city. The complementary salad served with your meal is always a nice touch and not overly spicy, unlike in some other Turkish restaurants in London. We had the meat platter for two and liver as mains, with ezme and aubergine with yoghurt as cold mezze platters. All the other salads were complimentary. The lamb was soft and tasty, though the Adana kebab is still a way off from the original you’d find in Adana, Turkey, which is understandable in London. Ayran and şalgam could have been better, but they did the job. It’s worth trying other similar restaurants nearby, but Umut 2000 is always a safe bet in Dalston.”

  “Went there on a Friday evening for dinner. The place was lively, but wasn't difficult to get a table for two. We heard that the Ezme salad, of all things, is a standout here, which was the reason we came. We ordered the ezme, sujuc, rolled filo with cheese, liver on the grill, and adana kebab. The liver was a bit dry, but still taste good. The ezme is definitely a must. The rolled filo was light and crispy, one of the best I've had, and the adana kebab was well made. They gave us bread, and even topped us up, without having to pay for it. Service was very friendly, attentive, and fast. Oh, and they *do* take credit cards now (just not amex). I would definitely go there again the next time I'm looking for some good turkish food.”

  “Delicious juicy meats cooked over coal so you get that smokey taste on every bite. Excellent flat breads that are used in the wraps. The only small improvement would be slightly larger portions of rice. NB: They only take cash!! Open late!”
