Kibele Restaurant & Bar in City of London, Westminster

First off we went as only two minutes walk from our hotel. Having said that this is a lovely restaurant. The interior is very stylish and staff are pleasant. Our food was superb, especially the main courses. I have the most amazing lamb chops with oyster mushrooms,my wife had a very good chat grilled chicken kebab. Not the cheapest place but well worth it.

Reservamos allí antes de Navidad. Por alguna razón, mi reserva no apareció en el sistema, pero lograron conseguirnos una mesa. ¡Buena comida! Estaba lleno de fiestas de Navidad y claramente el lugar para estar en la zona. Tuvimos un tiempo encantador. Más detalles y reseñas familiares - amigables en mi blog 'La Momia Francesa' y en Instagram @thefrenchiemummy. Así que búscalo en Google y echa un vistazo allí también. Merci!

Decepcionado, he estado viniendo aquí durante años. Hoy, me lavé apresuradamente, el camarero estaba de pie sobre mí, en una ocasión trató de quitarme el plato mientras aún había comida en mi plato. Finalmente, me rendí en la segunda ocasión y le di mi plato mientras aún masticaba, a pesar de pedirle que me diera un par de minutos. Una vez más, muy decepcionado, tenga en cuenta, el restaurante no estaba ocupado, como mucho al 30 % de su capacidad. Tristemente, no vendré aquí nunca más. #sadtimes

El entorno es muy acogedor y el personal era muy servicial y amable... . La comida era de primer nivel... Sin duda recomendaría a mis amigos. . Volveré seguro.

Fui a Kibele ayer y honestamente pensé que era increíble, lo reservé para el cumpleaños 16 de mi hijo. La comida el servicio todo fue 5 * e incluso escribieron feliz cumpleaños con salsa de chocolate en el plato con un pastel y cantaron para ella. Tuvimos la parrilla de mezcla y la hamburguesa wagu - mejor comida turca que he comido y recomendaría encarecidamente. Gracias por hacer el cumpleaños especial.

The food is outstanding, the staff is incredibly attentive, and the cocktails are perfectly crafted. The atmosphere is truly unique, making every visit to this restaurant an absolute pleasure.

Super restaurant. Need I say more.

The food was delicious and of good quality

If you come to London, it is definitely a place you should choose. We came and were very pleased, especially the special care and attention of the friend in charge. Chicken Soup was number 10. Meat dishes and fish were simply wonderful. Highly recommended. Google average is 4.6, in my opinion it deserves more. 5 stars from me.

Big portion sizes. Good food. Delicious Turkish cuisine. Meats always nicely cooked, never overcooked.

I loved it! Spicy minced chicken skewer was delicious and the borek served in form of spring rolls was a 10/10

A real pleasure to hv been introduced to this place. Food & service excellent, ambiance v good, prices reasonable. Will certainly be there again the next time I am in the area.

Was there on 20/11/24 Possibly one of the best restaurants that I have been to. Everything was exceptional. The decor was warm and comforting. The service was hospitable and considerate. The food was delicious. They have an open kitchen and not once could you hear the chefs. They were running a smooth operation. The price was reasonable. The portions were healthy. As the kitchen was open the restaurant is filled with this wonderful aroma as food comes out. Really enjoyed my experience.

I attended Kibele on 18th November 2024. First impressions as I walked in, were very positive. For starters we had two dips cacik and hummus with sucuk sausage accompanied by panko covered calamari. Both dips were tasty, especially the cacik. I was told by the waiter that the calamari was fresh but I wasn’t quite sure, a little stringy. For mains we got the house Kibele Burger which was really nice and the mixed grill which was a slight let down for me. £30 for a mix grill which included one piece of lamb and chicken shish, very small lamb ribs, lamb chop which didn’t have much meat on it and chicken and lamb adana which was flavoursome. Overall, I would say this is a restaurant I will go to again but will choose my mains wisely. Food was tasty and presentations were great. For service, service was good but could have been better. I waited over 5 mins for my drink. Waiters could be slightly better in their menu knowledge. I give Kibele 4 Stars all round. Slight improvements would bump up my rating to a 5.

Excellent service and nice ambiance. Bathroom was clean. The lunch combo was good value. The garlic prawns were on the salty side, but everything else was wonderful. I would recommend.

Pleasant and cozy place. Ms Helena was very helpful and we felt really cared for.

The service was not worth the money we paid. We were four people but our service wasn’t on time for all of us. The appetizer plate was too small for four people. The price was high but the quality too low.

Amazing restaurant near Great Pirtland Street / Regents Park Station (Metropolitan Line). We ordered a mixed grill (which was recommended by the staff), and it didn't disappoint. The food was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we had the Kunefe, and although very good, didn't beat the one at Imad's Syrian Kitchen in Carnaby St. They have live entertainment downstairs on a Friday and Saturday, and it was heaving. Special shout-out goes to our host, Dorjan, who was very attentive, full of good recommendations for food, and general a decent bloke. Will definitely go back again.

Fantastic restaurant with a great ambience and excellent food, attentive staff and fair price - absolutely recommended!"

This is one of the best restaurants in London, their service is exceptional and the staff are so friendly. And the food is simply divine! So filling and the portions are generous, the flavours are incredible, and the whole atmosphere of the place is awesome. Great music, and would 100% recommend

The food was to die for, the service was exceptional and the overall experience was amazing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I just love this place. Today was my second visit. Not only is the express lunch exceptional value we got complimentary Turkish tea and the service and atmosphere was excellent. JC our server was attentive and friendly and the light jazz playing in the background was a welcome addition. One of the best value Turkish restaurants I’ve been to and also one of the tastiest!

Kibele Restaurant is a fantastic choice, combining an excellent location with exceptional hospitality. From the moment you walk in, the friendly and attentive staff make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is vibrant yet comfortable, perfect for a relaxed meal or an evening out. The food is truly delicious, with a range of dishes that are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Although I arrived without a reservation, they had ample seating available, making it easy to enjoy a spontaneous dining experience.

Night out with boys, very expensive

Had a perfect turkish dine in experience!😍

Everything was great- the food, the service, the atmosphere. Special creds to Maria, thank you so much for your service. Very caring service, not a glass or a plate left empty.

Amazing experience. In this case, we got what we paid for. Attended for our anniversary and everything was on point, definitely coming back again.

The food was 💯.The meat was cooked and seasoned properly. I had the just the two of us platter, very satisfying and we absolutely enjoyed it. The ambience was also top notch. The service and reception were excellent. I was served by Maria and she was welcoming and patiently explaining all our questions regarding the menu. I love the place and I will definitely come back again 💯.

Fabulosos cócteles y comida. Recomiendo encarecidamente el shish de cordero. Personal amable y gran ambiente. Nada que culpar.

Incredible and fast service, tasty food, special thanks to Anna for being so friendly, thoughtful and prompt with everything - she is a star 🌟

We discovered this exceptional place. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The dishes were delicious. The meat just cooked well and the vegetables perfectly seasoned. The meze were also fresh and tasty, the decor is cozy and very well done, the staff is attentive and very professional (a special thank you to Batu and Salih), I highly recommend a good restaurant for all epicureans.

Top class service in a classy restaurant I have been to this restaurant a few times as I booked due to great reviews and wasn't disappointed! The food is really delicious,and I have no complaints whatsoever. Great live music, belly dancers show and a DJ. I am always impressed by the quality of their service. Staff polite and attentive , the manager is extremely hands-on, and his attention to details is second to none. Clean and nicely appointed restaurant. Good value too. I went on a Friday night with my friends, great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Really nice restaurant, food is amazing! Wonderful entertinement, concert really nice! And dance! Wow! It's really nice to have a time in Kibele with a friends or family next to a stage. Really enjoyable!

Kibele Restaurant offers an authentic Turkish dining experience, with exquisite traditional dishes from appetizers to main courses, each plate bursting with flavor. A highlight is the open kitchen, allowing diners to watch the culinary magic unfold. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff are incredibly friendly, enhancing the experience with their attentive service. Perfect for anyone wanting a genuine taste of Turkey!

OZUD AMAZING OLD FASHIONED AMAZING SERVICE STAFF TOO FAST AND ACCOMODATING FOOD AMAZING - aside from calamari Offered complimentary shots aswell what a nice touch Would definitely return

Amazing restaurant, from the food, atmosphere and service just incredible. I couldn’t recommend more. I got a chicken shish with fries and the tropical mocktail everything was 5/5. So delicious. If you like the taste of pina colada I recommend getting the tropical mocktail.

The food was presented well and tasted delicious. The service was great. I will be recommending this restaurant to others.

Delicious food, great service and their set lunch is fantastic value. Highly recommend

No entiendo todas las críticas positivas... o son pagadas o falsas o tal vez no prestan mucha atención a los detalles? O no conocen la excelente comida turca en Londres [de la que hay TANTAS - cometí el decepcionante error de venir aquí]. A pesar de ser una ocasión especial, el personal no se molestó en hacer de ella una experiencia memorable. El personal es hosco, son tan pasivo agresivo, juicioso y no podía sonreír una vez. Totalmente desagradable. Los entrantes eran geniales - la ensalada de aburrimiento y burata era encantador. La red era horriblemente mala... rozando lo no comestible. El cordero no estaba cocido a la perfección y apenas estaba caliente. Dejé mucho, ya que se enfrió tan rápido. Absolutamente impactante ya que los titulares fueron fantásticos. Ambiente fantástico y genial para una ocasión especial pero procedería con precaución. Sobreprecio y no entrega.

We had a lovely birthday dinner. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Damir look after us, very attentive, always smiling and very helpful! 10/10 overall experience!

What a fabulous evening Damir was amazing great service

Great food and atmosphere! Will definitely be back !

Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food! Staff are always friendly and professional. Im a regular and Kibele never disappoints !

Exceptional food and drink - highly recommended- our waitress Uma was excellent too

The food was very good. The lamb and chicken was very juicy tasted very nice. The chips was well salted too and the service was great. The restaurant generally was not bad. Not rowdy or noisy. Overall, it's a nice place. I loved it.

Great experience with the delicious Turkish food.

Tried the kebab grill - good quality and portion. Walked in for a late dinner and was caught by a pleasant surprise that there's a lounge/club downstairs, lol. It was blasting all sorts of music - within an hour i heard turkish, iraani, arabic lebanese, iraqi, egyptian 🪩

Solid Turkish restaurant. The Kibele Mix Grill Plate was delicious. It’s a good option for sharing a variety of meats. If your 2 people, you can get this, some flatbread and a side and I think it would be a perfect meal 😋

We recently enjoyed an incredible Turkish breakfast for just £19.99 per person, and it was truly a feast! The spread was abundant, featuring fresh breads, cheeses, olives, honey, and flavorful jams, along with rich Turkish tea. Each bite was a delightful blend of savory and sweet flavors, with everything served fresh and authentic. The price made it an unbeatable deal for such a varied and satisfying meal. If you’re looking for a memorable breakfast experience without breaking the bank, this is it!

Anna was a really lovely waitress along with her colleagues that served us, this is a really nice ambience. The prawn dish I ordered was not the best but my friends had other dishes that was nice. All in all this place would be nice for a dinner setting of any sort.

Watied 25 minutes for a bottle of red wine, the service was very slow. The performances were for a few minutes only and very basic. I do not get the hype for this place. The prices are crazy for the service provided. The toilets were overflowing, and someone was mopping whilst I was urinating. Mopping my expensive shoes with pee water. My experience was hideous. To be honest, I'm struggling for positives. The music is old and pure cheese. I was so underwhelmed that it was scary, a bang average night for the prices. I REGRET booking this place. If you go here, then good luck with your average night with top rate prices!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were so impressed by the professional staff and wonderful food. We were short of time and had not booked but were offered a seat at the bar. Every member of the team was courteous and charming. The food arrived quickly: freshly prepared hot and delicious from a lively and immaculate open kitchen. What a find!

Nos encantó venir aquí, nuestro anfitrión Dorjan estaba atento, nos ofreció el menú de postres, servicio 10 / 10, volveremos de nuevo. Gracias.

I went there back in August, I must say, the worst Turkish food I’ve ever had.

I never ever had such a delicious Iskander Kebab! Best of the best!Even I have been in Turkey, it wasn’t so tasty as in Kebele

Mala higiene, servicio muy lento y personal descuidado y me sentí muy ignorado. No voy a recomendar este restaurante a nadie y no voy a volver.

If you're looking for some fun and quality Food on weekends this London based Turkish restaurant & Bar is the place to be 🎉🎶💃 Celebrate your birthday and bachelor parties at kibele london. Every Friday and Saturday, they bring an incredible mix of belly dancing, live singing, and fire shows, paired with the most delicious Turkish cuisine 🍽🔥 Loved their Food and had an unforgettable night at kibele london 🙌✨

We visited on Oct 5 evening. The food and service is good until the end to be rushed out because the reserved 2-hour slot (6-8pm) is up. We left at 8:10pm and have already been reminded twice in the end. Why didn't you remind us when we are ordering the dessert as you know we won't have time to finish it? The tea with the dessert is very hot, I can't just finish the hot tea within one minute. Also, the lady who reminded us keeps talking to me which is blocking me to finish my tea to leave. You probably should have a clock or timer on the table to remind everyone how many minutes are left.

We recently held our wedding reception at Kibele Lounge, and we can’t thank Lucia and her team enough for making it an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Lucia was in constant communication, offering creative ideas and thoughtful personal touches for the décor, menu, and drinks to accommodate our Italian guests. Her professionalism, organization, and keen attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly and on schedule, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the evening with our guests. Zulfu’s DJ skills were exceptional. He perfectly read the room, effortlessly blending English, Persian, and Italian tracks to create the ideal atmosphere. The balance of music was flawless, and the energy on the dance floor was electric—even between courses, which we never expected! Our guests were amazed and had the time of their lives. A huge thank you as well for taking the time to meet with us months before the wedding to prepare the music, personalize our entrance with our chosen songs, and set up the spotlight and smoke effect. Our guests were completely surprised and said it was the best bride and groom entrance they’d ever seen. We truly appreciate all the hard work and professionalism right up to the very end. Thank you for making our wedding so special! We highly recommend Kibele for any private event. It offers excellent value for money paired with five-star service.

Entertainment was great! Very fun! Food was good. We had a big work party and dinner. I’m just confused why our table didn’t get our baklava/dessert! We had the 4 course meal for 69£ with entertainment (fire eater, belly dancer, live music). Other than that very fun time. Would come back 100%.

best calamari. best lamb chops ever. excellent sea bass fillet (both sides:) excellent ingredients generous portions and excellent knaffe

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food, atmosphere, and ambiance were exceptional. Batu, Sean, and their team were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had a wonderful evening. They went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special, which I truly appreciated. I will definitely be returning!

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa en Kibele esta noche. Un lugar muy elegante, moderno con la comida tradicional, y un servicio excelente. Lo más destacado de la comida fue el meyveli kuzu (creo). Un plato de cordero guisado sobre cebada. Simplemente increíble. El servicio fue excelente también. El camarero me ayudó a entender los platos entre los que estaba tratando de decidir. Él me dirigió a mi segunda opción basada en lo que le dije que quería. Muy recomendable!

We had a wonderful evening in Kibele. Food was so delicious and really nice atmosphere. Big thanks to Alca who made our evening even better she was very helpful and warm. Thank you so much we are coming back soon 🤍

This is a fantastic place, the food and the service it is outstanding. Totally recommend it.

Delicious food. Lovely ambience. Service was courteous too however, had to keep an eye on the waiter so they could be a catch our attention. They should be a bit better focused on customers looking for them., I am certainly coming again..

Bwst turkish restaurant in town

Excellent food, environment, and service! Highly recommended for a chill weekend night out😍

Tasty food, great service & lovely ambience. It’s a hidden gem! Can’t wait to visit again!

The experience was wonderful. The food was satisfying and well presented. Order were well taken and delivered as requested. The Garlic Mushroom was beautiful. The environment is welcoming and children friendly. Though I would have appreciated music in the background. Overall it is a very interesting experience

We were very pleased with the food, the service was very good, thank you especially to Mr. Eskan

The weekend bottomless brunch at this restaurant is a must-try! The variety of Turkish dishes served is delightful, and the endless drinks add so much fun to the experience. Perfect for a relaxed weekend outing with friends. Definitely a highlight of my weekend plans!

What an incredible night! The DJ's music had the whole place buzzing, and the belly dance performance was mesmerizing. The mix of modern beats with a traditional twist created an unforgettable atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to eat, dance, and enjoy great vibes, this is it!

**Amazing Experience from Start to Finish!** Kibele is a gem in Central London! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entertainment was on another level. The live music and performances created memorable moments throughout the night. The staff were incredible—always attentive, friendly, and with a smile on their faces, making the evening even more enjoyable. The best part? You don't need to venture to Mayfair or overly busy areas to enjoy such a high-class dining experience, all at a budget-friendly price. Kibele is truly one of the top-tier restaurants in Central London. Highly recommended!

My friend and I had the 19.99 each Turkish brunch menu today. It was amazing! Wonderful tasty food, great portion sizes and lots of variety. They were so kind to bring out extra dishes like stir fry vegetables. I am very much looking forward visiting again and trying more dishes at this fantastic restaurant. The lady serving us was lovely and refilled out tea many times. It was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thank you.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and very attentive and rapid service. We were served by Salih who was very attentive and efficient, and made the experience very enjoyable. Thank you very much!

Had the most amazing time! The food was fantastic and the cocktails were the best I’ve had!

I can’t describe this place ! Absolutely fantastic and JC made everything much better !!! My extremely thanks for his service ! Highly recommended!!

This is the BEST Turkish restaurant I have ever been to!!! Not only was every single item of food on my plate, delicious (and the cocktails), but the service was the best. My daughter and I dined here for my birthday, and I just mentioned in passing that it was my birthday. I did not expect a cake to be brought out with chocolate writing that said, "Happy Birthday" and a complimentary glass of champagne! Our host for the evening was, JC, and not only was he friendly and funny, but he made our experience even better. I am coming back here very soon!!!

We had the pleasure of dining at Kibele Restaurant in London on a late Friday evening at 9 PM. Despite it being peak hours, we were seated promptly without any issues, which was a relief considering the busy atmosphere. The restaurant’s ambiance was inviting, with a warm and cozy setting that immediately made us feel at ease. We started our meal with calamari as an appetizer, which quickly became a hit with the kids. The calamari was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—making for a delightful start to our evening. For the main course, we ordered the "Just for the 2 of Us" dish, which was more than enough for the four of us. This large platter was an absolute feast, featuring a selection of grilled lamb chops, lamb ribs, grilled chicken, lamb kebabs, chicken kebabs, and chicken wings. Every single item on the plate was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and incredibly tender. The lamb chops, in particular, were a standout with their rich, smoky taste that left us wanting more. The main dish was accompanied by a fresh beetroot salad, spicy rice, and tzatziki. The salad was refreshing and complemented the grilled meats perfectly, while the spicy rice added a nice kick to the meal. To top off our meal, we indulged in two desserts: chocolate cake and kunefe. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, a chocoholic's dream. However, the kunefe truly stole the show. It was absolutely fantastic, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a delightful texture. It was, without a doubt, one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in London. Our meal concluded with a complimentary Turkish tea, which was a soothing end to a fantastic dinner. Even the kids enjoyed the tea, which was a pleasant surprise. The waiters were super nice, welcoming, and extremely friendly. We loved talking to them, learning about the food, the restaurant, and even getting to know them personally! Their warmth added a special touch to our dining experience. By the way, downstairs is where the DJ plays—just note that minors aren't allowed there. We look forward to dining here again. Love from Seattle, USA! Pros: - Prompt seating even during peak hours. - Delicious and well-prepared food. - Generous portions, especially the "Just for the 2 of Us" dish. - Exceptional desserts, particularly the kunefe. - Complimentary Turkish tea to end the meal. - Friendly and welcoming staff that enhances the dining experience. Cons: - None that we experienced!

Thanks to Mr Salih for great service. Delicious food, highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant, great food and brilliant service!
