Casual Turkish fare with friendly vibes.

The Iskele Restaurant is your typical charming neighborhood spot that serves up Turkish classics without the fuss. With a menu that includes baba ghanoush and lamb tagine, it’s perfect for a casual meal before a show at the Barbican. The staff, especially the polite Turkish manager, are friendly and attentive, making sure your experience is pleasant.

While the portions aren’t massive, they’re enough to satisfy. Just manage your expectations if you’re used to larger servings from Mediterranean spots. If you’re after quality over quantity, Iskele could be your new go-to for Turkish dishes in the area.
