Kilis Kitchen is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant at 4 Theberton Street in Islington. The comfortable dining room is built around generous portions, warm hospitality and familiar dishes prepared with fresh herbs, vegetables, seafood and meat, making it suitable for a relaxed dinner or a larger meal shared with friends and family.
The meze selection includes hummus, cacik, tabbouleh, falafel, saksuka, stuffed vine leaves, kisir and courgette fritters. Feta salad, grilled halloumi and crisp filo parcels add rich and savoury flavours, while calamari and sardines offer seafood choices that can be combined into a varied spread for the table.
Charcoal grilled chicken shish, wings, lamb shish and Adana kofte form the heart of the main courses. Chicken and lamb casseroles provide slower cooked alternatives, alongside moussaka, stuffed aubergine, salmon and seafood linguine. Rice, salad, bread and vegetable sides complete dishes designed to be substantial and comforting.
Vegetarian diners can choose vegetable moussaka, stuffed aubergine and a broad range of vegetable meze, while the grill and seafood sections give mixed groups plenty of flexibility. Baklava, caramelised milk pudding, rice pudding, stuffed figs and apple almond crumble bring the meal to a traditional finish, supported by Turkish coffee and a full drinks list.
