This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. Ekin Restaurant has undoubtedly become my favorite dining spot, and I seize every opportunity to indulge in its culinary delights. Having recommended it to friends and family, the feedback has been nothing short of outstanding. Everything about this place is simply amazing – from the inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service and, of course, the outstanding turkish food. On each visit, I've been consistently impressed, and the variety of dishes we've tried has left us highly satisfied. Even the seafood dish deserves applause for its freshness. It's evident that careful attention is paid to sourcing quality ingredients, resulting in a dining experience that stands out. The staff are professional and incredibly nice and lovely. Their genuine warmth adds an extra layer of comfort to the already chill and cozy ambiance of the restaurant. Whether you're a regular like me or a first-time visitor, the welcoming atmosphere makes every dining experience memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant from someone who appreciates a perfect dining experience. Don't miss out, you won't be disappointed!

A small and friendly restaurant in south hampstead. The prices look a little high on the menu in comparison with other places in the locale but the food quality and quantity make the place decent value. All the dishes I tried were enough for 2 people with my size appetite. I found the food to be very tasty. Service was efficient. There is a good selection of vegetarian dishes also. Highly recommended.

Ekin is perhaps our favourite restaurant in all of London. Delicious food cooked fresh on a charcoal grill, the smell of which is mouthwatering. Just walking past this restaurant will make you want to come in. The service is fantastic and the food is incredible. You wont find better, and why not support a family run business? Try Ekin, you won’t regret it.

Unexpectedly terrific Turkish food belying the unremarkable exterior. The prawns in particular were fantastic. We'll definitely come back when we're in the neighbourhood.

Great restaurant, looks like it's family run as attention to detail is on point. Nice and kind staff. Food is great and fresh, we come for the Sarma highly recommend it.

Sorry, I don't have any photos because the food was so good we forgot to stop and take pictures. My family came from Japan and America to have fun in England, and we stayed at a hotel called Sanctum around the corner from this restaurant. On a whim, we decided to check it out. OMG!! I loved it. I don't even like lamb, but the lamb was amazing. I used to live in Turkey and this food was just as good as there. I mean, everything was good and we are thinking about going all the way back to London to eat there again. It's a small place but very delicious.

Ekin never fails. We've been going to this family run Turkish restaurant for a few years now and everything is always delicious!! I'd recommend the wine leaves, kisir and sucuk for starters. Yogurtlu with chicken as a main (served with rice and salad). Thank you Ekin!! Looking forward to enjoying another evening there soon!
