    The food at the restaurant was truly outstanding. We had the opportunity to savor a variety of delectable dishes that left us thoroughly impressed. Among the dishes we tried were Anatolian kebab, dolma, kalamar, and tavuk iznik. Each of these dishes offered a unique and flavorful experience. Attentive and friendly service ! Thank you.

    We had a fantastic lunch today (used to be regulars 16 years ago). Pearl, our server and I believe is the owner, was so hospitable and charming which is always a good start. Food was visibly amazing and equally tasty. Such wonderful flavours. We opted for a Turkish house wine which was delicious. The decor is colourful and intriguing - I loved it. Would love to share photos but for some reason unable to do on app.

    This my favourite pre-Arsenal restaurant. It isn't just that I enjoy Turkish cuisine, it is that Iznik's Turkish cuisine is varied, always interesting and served with love. I can hugely recommend this restaurant whether there is a football match being played or not, and my travelling 100 miles to sit at table is testimony to this recommendation. LM

    As always, Iznik proves to be the finest restaurant in N5, serving inspirational Turkish cuisine. I would recommend it most strongly to those who wish to sample Mediterranean food as it should be served. Well done, Iznik...and no, I am not a regular, I live 100 miles away. LM

    Beautiful decor, new colours since last visit years ago add further vibrancy adding to this lovely restaurants’s ambiance. Food was excellent, could have done with a short gap between starters and mains, though maybe no gap is preferable to long wait for next course. Altogether however an excellent and most enjoyable eating experience.

    Wow! I cannot recommend Iznik enough. My sister and I were in London for the weekend and had enjoyed the Arsenal match nearby and needed a solid, delicious meal that evening. We discovered Iznik on OpenTable and from start to finish, our experience was one of my favorite dining occasions of recent memory. The ambiance and environment are so beautiful, there was classic jazz quietly playing, and proprietor Can and his family were very attentive to us. The food was so delectable and perfectly prepared with great attention to detail; beautiful and delicious but not overly fussy. We topped everything off with Turkish coffee which also came with some lovely rose flavored Turkish delight. I only wish we could have tried more items on the menu but we were so full, we couldn't. This will be my go-to dining spot for any future visits to Highbury.

    A really lovely family run restaurant. The food is one of the best Turkish food we have had in London. The portion sizes are generous and all taste absolutely incredible. We spent time speaking with the owners, and they have been there 34years and you can tell they are still as passionate now as they were when they first opened. As locals we have been a few times and will absolutely be returning. So many more tasty things to try one then menus. 5*/5* for sure.
