“In a city like London one struggles to find a bona fide “hidden gem”—let your search end here. Every dish is crisp, delicious, so fresh the fish seem to still be flopping about on the plate (in a good way). Even at my favorite spots there’s …”

“A cozy restaurant with a truly warm, homey vibe that has been my favourite local spot for a while now. The owner is super friendly and warm, she always gives great reccs and the food is always tasty. Great selection of warm and cold starters, I am obsessed with the garlic and yogurt aubergine. They have a nice selection of both fresh and frozen fish, and always let you know which one it is. Overall great casual spot for seafood dining, simple but extremely satisfying dishes. One really feels that the place is run with a lot of love, and the appeal is that it's welcoming and honest. Great place for a casual date, a meal with family / friends, or just for one of those nights when you want to have a nice, relaxed dinner out. My partner and I are regulars and would recommend Sariyer Balik to everyone!”

“First time I went to this place and will be my last. Food was average, portion size small for price, no sides with main dish, which I would have expected for the price paid, at least a potato or rice side. Service, well again average, as seems to be only one person looking after ground and lower floor so you can wait a bit for your food and you may need to remind the server again if you asked for something as when you order there is no noting down of your order. Atmosphere again average and nice that there is live entertainment, but beware that you are charged for this when you go to pay, which I was only informed about when paying. I find this very disrespectful and customers should be informed before hand that there is an extra charge for entertainment provided. I wasn't even given a receipt. If you want to visit this place just be aware. As mentioned first and last time I would go here. There are better places in the vicinity. UPDATE: I appreciate your response to my review. With regards to live music and pricing, after carefully reviewing your website, there is no mention at all anywhere about an extra fee for live music. Also, as per the Law, a business must make it very clear to customers that there is a charge for a service and how much it is on their website and physically with a sign, or some form of written documentation at the establishment. I do hope you will correct this and conform to UK Law.”
