Istanbul Restaurant Finchley serves Turkish and Mediterranean food from a spacious restaurant on North Finchley High Road. The warm and informal atmosphere makes it suitable for everyday meals, family gatherings and larger groups sharing several dishes around the table.

Cold and hot meze provide a varied beginning, with hummus, cacik, babaganoush, tabbouleh, falafel, halloumi and other familiar Turkish specialities. Fresh salads, bread and vegetable dishes balance the richer flavours and encourage diners to order several plates for the table.

The charcoal grill produces lamb shish, chicken shish, kofte, ribs, wings and chops, with rice, bulgur and salad served alongside. Mixed grills and family platters combine several meats and meze choices, providing a generous option for two or more guests.

Seafood, traditional stews, vegetarian dishes and Turkish desserts broaden the offering beyond the grill. Daily opening, reservations and online ordering give customers the flexibility to dine at the restaurant or enjoy its menu through takeaway and delivery.

Address: 880–882 High Road, North Finchley, London N12 9RH, United Kingdom
