Lara Restaurant

“Excellent food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere!”

Peter Bessey★★★★★

Excellent venue for group events or individual meals. Wide selection of well presented Turkish dishes with many not seen on the menu in other restaurants. Not simply a kebab house. Attentive and friendly staff willing to explain and describe their menu for customers unfamiliar with the options. We had a thoroughly enjoyable social get-together there. Recommended and popular.

Just had a frustrating day at QPR so took my son and his family for a meal before I travelled home. This is a great kebab place where we have had take away before this time we sat in , we were sat upstairs which was empty at the time as we were only late afternoon. The staff are very friendly and the flood was tasty. Between us we had mixed and chicken kebab and some wraps.

After a lovely dinner I left my handbag behind and didn't realise until the next day. The owner went to great lengths to contact me and returned it with all my cards, ID, keys and cash inside. Staff are kind and courteous and the food was delicious. Thank you!

No matter how small or big my order is, the service at this Turkish restaurant is always warm and welcoming. Each visit feels like stepping straight into the Eminönü quarter of Istanbul — familiar, vibrant, and full of flavor. The shish is consistently excellent, tender and perfectly seasoned, and the lentil soup is one of the best I’ve had, rich and comforting. A true gem that captures the spirit and taste of Istanbul and saves me from work deadline stress.
