Antalya Restaurant brings Turkish cooking and wider Mediterranean flavours to Southampton Row, close to Russell Square and the heart of Bloomsbury. The restaurant has served the area for many years, combining traditional methods with a modern dining room and an extensive menu. Its central location makes it suitable for local residents, office diners, visitors to nearby museums and guests staying around Holborn.
Meze provides a natural starting point, with dishes such as hummus, cacik, tabbouleh, falafel, borek and imam bayildi offering a mixture of creamy, crisp, fresh and gently spiced flavours. Guests can share a broad selection across the table or choose individual starters before a main course. This flexible style reflects the sociable character of Turkish dining and works particularly well for groups.
Grilled meat is one of the menu’s main attractions, with lamb and chicken shish, kofte, Adana kebab and mixed grills prepared using familiar Turkish seasonings. Fish, salads, vegetable dishes and slow cooked specialities provide further choice, while baklava and kazandibi offer a traditional finish. Fresh seasonal ingredients and local produce support the kitchen’s aim of presenting clear Mediterranean flavours.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with the generous hospitality associated with Turkish restaurants at the centre of the experience. Set menus make larger meals easy to navigate, while the broader selection allows regular visitors to explore something different. Antalya Restaurant suits everything from a quick lunch to a celebration built around shared plates, grilled food and lively conversation.
