Kibele Restaurant & Bar brings modern Turkish and Mediterranean cooking to Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia. The chefs draw on the diverse regions of Turkey, using seasonal ingredients and contemporary presentation to give traditional dishes a polished setting for lunch, dinner and celebrations.
Cold and hot starters encourage sharing, with hummus, cacik, babaganoush, muhammara and shakshuka served alongside pide. Turkish dumplings filled with lamb, crisp börek, grilled octopus and other changing small plates allow a table to explore a wide range of textures, herbs and spices.
From the grill, lamb shish, chicken shish and seasoned kofte are joined by seafood, steaks, vegetable dishes and house signatures. A separate vegan menu expands the plant based selection, while weekend brunch can include a generous Turkish breakfast with breads, cheese, olives, eggs and tea.
The lower ground lounge hosts live music, DJs, belly dancing and other performances on selected evenings, giving the venue a lively character after dinner begins. A private function room with space for large seated gatherings also supports weddings, corporate events and family celebrations.
