    I have a lot to say about this restaurant. I wanted to write to you about a mistake that should be solved easily but instead look what a person's excess ego does. Yesterday I've ordered some take away foods from this restaurant. My order was; çöp shish (should be lamb meat cut into small cubes should be grilled) chips, tabule, filo pastry. However, when I received my meal (in my opinion, due to wrong packaging) the juice of the cooked meat had spilled over the other packages. The meat was so cold. Chips were stale. The pastry was just too oily and uncooked. There was no any sauce in the tabule. (While it should be olive oil and pomegranate sauce) Also, for me they sent lamb shish not a çöp shish. And unfortunately everything I ordered went to waste. I could only eat a little of the tabule by adding the sauces what I have at home. I immediately called the restaurant and said that I wanted to speak with the manager. The gentleman on the phone named H. told me he was the owner. I explained the situation to him. Fortunately, he accepted the situation and apologized and said that I could come tomorrow and get the same order from the restaurant without any charge. Thank for him. Unfortunately, when I went to the restaurant today, the bad and rude behavior that the chefs showed me was unbearable. They broke me harshly. They behaved so badly that I left an entire order there and walked out. I don't even want to pass in front of that restaurant again because of this behaviour. Do you think I can eat the food that was given to me like it was thrown on my head? Who can eat like that ? Every mistake has an compensate. But what they did was a great rudeness. What I want to say is a warm smile that makes a meal beautiful. Owners of this restaurant can be polite. But the important thing is that the person needs to be polite who cooks the food and serves it to the customer. It's impossible for me to eat this food when you saying something to my face really rudely while you prepare this food. Sorry, Likya's owners, but in my opinion, these chefs are undermining your business. Especially one of them. Who is wearing a glasses. I just threw away some money. But this way, I think you lost. Today me, tomorrow other customers. Of course, if this is important to you. Elif

    The food was mouth-watering and finger-licking good! I totally enjoyed it. The menu changed slightly from the last time I visited. They took off from the menu the sharing platter which was good to share when thinking of costs. Also no more free salad with the complimentary flatbread at the start. You have to order it as a side. A bit more expensive than before but I guess the new look and ambience make up for it. The restaurant is looking really great and the decor though not finished looks so good. The waiters were lovely and very helpful. We had an old gentleman at the restaurant take our pictures in the restaurant for a small fee. It was a lovely picture. We really enjoyed our food and finished it. I recommend this place if you want to hang out with friends or family.

    So, I absolutely love Turkish doner and this place has nailed it. The cut of the lamb doner meat was perfect and the flavour just took me back to Istanbul/Antalya. Succulent, fatty and juicy. The moussaka dish was also very nice. The restaurant is nice and cosy. Literally next to Golders Green tube station say 10 minutes walk from the bus depot.

    All been refurbished. Clean and smart interior- can see the chefs griddle in the open kitchen. Really gorgeous food, tasted delicious. Very attentive waiter. We asked many questions about the menu and he answered everything in great detail. To end the meal we had Turkish Tea and baklava. That dessert was to die for. Best I've ever tasted.

    I love this place. The meat is cooked over blistering hot charcoal and is so succulent and juicy. You must eat in. Everything tasted amazing! If you’re a meat lover, this is definitely for you but don’t get me wrong, the grilled vegetables are also great!

    The food was absolutely delicious. We didn’t expect much, but had a very good time at this restaurant. We are not big fans of lamb, but here it was perfectly cooked: juicy and tender. The staff were friendly, the prices were pretty affordable.

    Really good, posher kebab shop with dine in options. You're served fresh bread and a lot of chilli and garlic sauce.... Like a lot more than usual places. As someone who likes a lot of sauce I'm always happy here. Yogurtlu Beyti was great, could have been a bit more warmer but being in the sauce is likely to bring the temperature down. Highly recommended for something different than your usual kebab shop

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Likya Restaurant, and I have to say that the experience was mostly enjoyable. The food at Likya was quite good, with a variety of flavorful dishes that left me satisfied. In particular, the meats were well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. However, I did find the prices to be a bit on the higher side. This wouldn't have been a big issue, but the service charge was also quite high, which made the overall cost of the meal feel a bit steep. While most of the food was excellent, I did have a small issue with one of the dishes. The grilled tomato I ordered turned out to be a fresh tomato, which was a bit disappointing, as I was expecting something warm and slightly charred. That being said, the overall experience at Likya was still enjoyable, and I would recommend giving it a try. The food is mostly delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Just be prepared for slightly higher prices and don't forget to specify if you want your tomatoes grilled!

    Food portions got very small compared to pre-pandemic! The presentation is terrible!!! The food quality got lowered too compared to years ago when it was one of the best Turkish restaurants in London. However, it still tastes good. So 3 stars for now.

    I got the moussaka... Very much bland for me.....service was a bit off.. Serving the bread with the main was odd....and the floor was so greasy and slippy that im glad i didn't break my legs.... Also the juices tasted green

    I've been going here for lunch/dinner and dining in/take out for 10+ years and I'm still returning every single time. The quality of food and price compliment each other. I can't fault Likya at any level. I have recommended this place to friends and family, and each of them enjoyed their meal.

    Been coming here for years and has never once disappointed! Top quality meats cooked to absolute perfection - thick and juicy lamb chops are my recommendation! My son’s favourite restaurant - make sure you visit!

    I’ve been to this place a few times with my friend who lives in Mill Hill, he recommended this place to me as he used to go here when he lived in the area, they do very good authentic Turkish food here, I recommend the Karaşik kebab if you’re going with two or more people. It’s £60 odd pounds for two people including a sharing platter and drinks plus the Baklava and Lacmachun here is very nice, also the service in here is good it doesn’t take long for you to get seated even when the restaurant is busy also the food doesn’t take very long to arrive at your table.

    This a review of the Likya Bakery / Cafe across the road from the main Likya restaurant. They sell mainly small snacks as well as coffee and cakes. They do a really good heart warming bowl of chicken soup. Recommended
