The Lokanta in Bromley

Really lovely food and great atmosphere I found the service great, older gentleman everyone mentioned was very good at his job, so we're the rest of the team Bottle of wine and Mezze Sharer was £60, so £30 a head is strong I feel

Excellent food, attentive service, generous portions in a beautiful ambiance

Christmas eve meal with family (17 of us in total!) and had a wonderful time. Amazing food & wine along with stunning decor and wonderful staff. Highly recommend!!

We had a Christmas Work meal here last week and it was absolutely perfect, Everything was wonderful and So nice and relaxed. Will be back soon all the Best Hus

My partner and I went for our anniversary dinner and we loved it and said we'd come back before leaving. The cocktails are FABULOUS!!!!! The decor is so stunning. The food is super yummy. The staff are very friendly too. Overall, a great place for good food and a good time.

The staff were lovely and welcoming, the location is beautiful and the food was delicious. Thank you!

Just another bang average Turkish restaurant. One of around 17 Turkish establishments in Beckenham!

Had my birthday celebration at TheLOKANTA with a group of friends. The service was amazing from the reservation until the end. The restaurant manager was particularly patient and cooperative . The food was great!

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere! Will defo visit again 👌🏾

Beautiful setting, you feel you are somewhere in the Mediterranean...delicios food

I absolutely loved dining at The Lokanta. I came here for a baby shower and the staff were excellent! Super friendly and the food was lovely too. The restaurant itself is beautiful and we will definitely be recommending this place and coming back!

The most beautiful authentic sharing plates , best meal ever. Beautiful surroundings, beautifully presented selection of the tastiest plates of food I’ve had in a very long time.

Oh my goodness!!! I literally felt like I was abroad not sitting in a restaurant on Beckenham High St, the staff were friendly, respectful & attentive. The drinks 10/10 the lychee martini the best I’ve had with elegance & class it was served with prettyness. Now the food, we all love med grill but this place had our jaws dropping with every course that was served, the starters were delicious, the mains were also delicious with great flavours, generous portion & topped with the best presentation. Thank you so much to the chef and all the staff that waited on us and made us feel relaxed and comfortable even though we were still there way past closing time. Definitely going back x

Delicious food at The Lokanta in Beckenham. Amazing options for vegetarians and vegans and also plenty of gluten free options. The portion sizes were fantastic and the service was just wonderful. The team were attentive, friendly and went the extra mile. Great knowledge of the menu too. The ambience is lovely and you feel instantly transported to the med with lovely decor and I loved the background music too. My friends and I will certainly be back! Thank you for such a warm and pleasant welcome to the area! £35 pp, starter and mains with alcoholic beverages.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Tasty food, impeccable service, and great decor. Thank you! We’d only suggest you give the means of tipping on the card machine, as we didn’t have cash 🙏

Very good food and friendly staff.

Lovely relaxed vibe with fresh and tasty food, and very friendly and attentive service. We'll definitely be back.

My husband and I had a lovely evening. Atmosphere is relaxed and food great. Service from the older gentleman was 10/10 he really knows his craft and looked after us brilliantly. The loss of 1 star for service is because the younger male waiters were somewhat less on the ball, placing the plate of food down and off they ran not asking if we would like anything else ie sauce/condements, we had to wait to get someone’s attention to call them over! Overall, however, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place, try the kibbeh it’s delicious.

Lamb shish was very tasty! Ambience..service and style of the restaurant was perfect

From start to finish everything about The Lokanta was brilliant. The menus were clean, staff attentive and besides a gorgeous interior, it was also clean and tidy. The table was a little wobbly and without prompt it was fixed (not with a wedge of cardboard but using a mechanism without the table leg). Between courses, plates were cleared and the table cleaned out properly. The menu itself was easy to read and was clean. There is plenty of food options, even for vegetarian and vegan eaters. Once we ordered food arrived in good time. All the dishes were seasoned perfectly and presented with care and attention to detail.

Very beautiful unique restaurant and the food is amazing. I will return and I would recommend the stuffed aubergine and I would have it with bulgar instead of white rice. Great value for money and very good and friendly service.

Three of us ordered different meals - all were too much for us to finish. Should've ordered a few small dishes, I.e calamari, battered corgettes - lovely

Came for lunch last week, very impressed with cleanliness and freshness of food. Thank you!

Great service and quality food, what else to expect!

This is a great local restaurant. Service and food was amazing. The setting is lovely and very comfortable. We’ll be going back for sure!

Lokanta in Beckenham offers a delightful dining experience that transports you straight to the Mediterranean. The warm atmosphere, especially upstairs, feels like a cozy villa, making it almost like being on holiday. The food is superb, with every dish bursting with flavor and freshness. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. The cocktails are a highlight, delicious and reminiscent of summer holidays. I highly recommend Lokanta for anyone seeking a comfortable, holiday-like dining experience.

This was our third visit to this delightful and buzzing restaurant. The service is always friendly and the food delicious. The red wine suggested by our waitress was the Montepulciano. Excellent.

Let's start with the food. Amazing food. The portions are generous and the quality is great. It's well presented and flavoursome. There were so many items i wanted to order! The service is efficient and pleasant, i can't say anything bad about it. The atmosphere of the place is also refreshing. It feels like you're on holidays and you're all relaxed to enjoy the food and drinks even more! 10/10 would god there again!

Had parked close by to go to a different restaurant but as we walked past, Lokanta looked really inviting. Had an excellent meal. The service was very good and it was good value for money. Will be back.

Decor and ambiance is really nice, felt like you were on holiday (although would have loved it if they had real plants rather than fake ones however this is probably just a personal preference!). Starters were amazing, we were really impressed! Cocktails were great too (you get a good amount for your money). However the main course (mixed grill) was quite disappointing and found that the food was very bland. I’m really hoping the restaurant makes some changes to the grilled menu and add more flavour and seasoning as I would love to come back!!

Beautiful restaurant - from furnishings to the ambience this restaurant has it all. Authentic Turkish food that is delicious and presented to a high standard.

Lovely staff food was lovely, we had the £64 mixed grill for 4 people but the portions where so tiny to buy extras for the kids. It also didn't come with salad like most Turkish restaurants had to order that as extra aswell. Loved this drink they made me.

A lovely restaurant situated in the heart of Beckenham, serving great Mediterranean food and at a reasonable price. The service was second to none, and the restaurant was very welcoming.

The place looks great and it was 31c when we went so felt very Mediterranean. Overall the food was reasonable. Cocktail was way too sweet Lychee Martini but it did say that so my fault for ordering. I would go again but do not expect anything super special.

Our first time here and I don’t think it will be our last. The staff were lovely, the restaurant is lovely, the food was also lovely, the only improvement is the food could have been hotter but it was so well presented and tasted lovely. . . How many times have I said the word lovely 🫣

Just meh. Not bad but not amazing

The place looks lovely, I have been planning to come here for ages. It was mine and my partners anniversary, I have never written a review before because I work in hospitality and I fully understand that things cannot always be up to an okay standard. The food was nice, except from my lamb shank, the taste was bland and the presentation was horrible, but non of that would’ve been a problem if it wasn’t for the staff. After calling the waitress over to let her know that we are done with the food we have decided to make the day a bit better with some limoncello, when asking the waitress she replied they do not do anything like that (I was personally able to see from my table 4 bottles being displayed at the bar), but we said no problem and I had to get up to pay the bill because the waitress was not interested at all. After spending £120 (which I assume included service as well that I never received) that’s when the waitress herself mentioned that I have left the whole plate of food and asked if something was wrong with it, I replied that I’m very sorry but I really did not like the lamb shank - not that I expected anything from that statement as the bill was paid and I personally did not bother to complain because nobody checked back on us, but what was outrageous is that I didn’t even get an apology. Again, at that point we were so outraged but in a funny way - I personally stood up and went to the bar area to ask for the limoncello - and paid with the waitress who claimed they didn’t have any. £140 for an hour of the worst service I have ever received, won’t return and I suggest nobody with a special occasion does either as much as lovely the place looks.

I first visited for my birthday in March 2023, loved it, great setting, friendly staff and delicious food and cocktails - my fav Margaritas. Have been back around 5 times with my family since and never disappoints, in my eyes best Turkish in Beckenham

It is uniques warm friendly athmosphere.

Not great service, venue nice, food ok not happy with having to pay a deposit for a small venue this is what I would do for a London restaurant not beckenham. I won’t be returning maybe just a bad day

Such a cute little restaurant. The interior is absolutely beautiful. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We ordered 6 cold and 6 hot mezes to share and was about £18 each which is a good value and filled us up quite well. The only thing was the music. They must really enjoy Charlie Puth as he was playing on a loop for 3 hours with a few songs in between.

Nice restaurant and staff seem very nice but please be careful if you have food allergies. My friend has a nut allergy and I put this down when I made the booking. We ordered our starters and almost immediately she started to have an allergic reaction. It turned out, after speaking with the staff, that there are nuts in the sauce served with the calamari. It didn’t state this on the menu despite them having an allergy list for the food. We had to leave quite quickly to get to A&E. Overall, it could have been a lovely meal but be very careful.

Whilst the restaurant is very pretty and the food tasted good, I ended up having a bad experience at Lokanta. I ended up in A&E after suffering an allergic reaction to the Calamari starter as nowhere in the menu did it mention the sauce had nuts in despite my friend stating I had a nut allergy when booking. This needs to be fixed urgently to prevent it happening to someone else.

It was absolutely high level quality. We will come back again with my wife. She was so happy and miaw.

The service was slow. The taster menu is over priced but the food is tasty.

Lovely place on the highstreet. I ordered calamari for £7(?) And you only get 3 pieces, however it is delishous. The lunchtime 2 meal deal is good price and main was also lovely. There was only 2 waiters though and it was a busy day I just felt bad for how much rushing around they were doing! Did amazing for just the 2 though!

I had the lamb shank, and it was very nice. Nice food, friendly staff

Booked the room upstairs for a private function, excellent service and food.

Held a family party here in the upstairs room. Excellent service, no fuss over special meals and good food. Upstand is decorated just as well as downstairs. Mo problem recommending Lokanta.

This spot is pretty. The server was not amused as we had two kids with us. The food came in stages, some had finished before others. The restaurant was almost empty! The food was ok. Large helpings.

Lovely place, very cosy and great for birthday dinners. Drinks The drinks were really good a lot of the guests kept on buying the lychee martini, I had the virgin apple sparkle but it was very nice 5/5 Starters The calamari was alright I would give it a 4/5 I would wanted it a bit more seasoned. The calamari itself was well cooked and not stretchy so that was great Mains I have never had such a. Big piece of salmon in any restaurant. It was a good piece of salmon I would have wanted it a bit more seasoned however I had salt and pepper to add. The spinish sauce was very nice 5/5 Others had the rice and chicken most people liked it In generally they allowed us to bring a PhotoBooth that is small and we also took our own cake and cupcakes. Overall great experience

Great food, great drinks, wonderful staff.

Lovely restaurant with high quality food and service.We were pleasantly surprised with cocktails offered and portion of the dishes.A bit pricey but worth it!

We dined here last Thursday evening and it was absolutely lovely! The food was delicious; the staff are wonderful and attentive; and the ambience was warm.

Beautiful private dining area, an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, feels like you are on holiday! Wonderful food with generous portions and equally delicious desserts. All guests said the mains were excellent, we had the party set menu options. Ayhan was accommodating and communicated effectively from start to finish of planning my special day. Thank you!

I had a lovely meal with my girlfriend the other night. The mezes were great, but left me little space for the main curse. I had the shepherd’s lamb and it was delicious. Wished I would have stayed on the mezes. The background music was super relaxing and the lighting and everything comfortable. The tables were on the small side. Lovely service, but at times they were busy.

I was kindly invited into this marvellous Turkish restaurant by one of the very lovely owners. So I asked for a mixed selection of Meze for one.. I thought it would be a small plate . I was astounded when a very large plate of the most wonderful food I have ever came. This was enough for three people. Well I must say that I almost finished this brilliant Meze. Was not totally happy when I received the bill. I had two very thirstquenching Turkish beers. I would highly recommend this stupendous restaurant in Beckenham Village. Derek

Really nice Mediterranean food, lively, busy place on the evening.

Really good food, lovely setting and friendly service. Thanks to Fardeen for being such a great waiter and all the kitchen for filling us up with delicious food!

I am really surprised to see so many positive reviews about the staff. I recently celebrated the birthday of my friend at this restaurant, and unfortunately, our experience was ruined by the unbelievably passive-aggressive attitude of the staff members. From the moment we walked in, we were met with an unwelcoming attitude that persisted throughout the entire meal. We constantly felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there. When we tried to ask for a vase for flowers, or at least a big glass, we were told, "We don't have vases, and glasses are for cocktails." 🙄 The staff pushed the chair of my friend three times as they passed by. They never offered new drinks and once tried to remove not finished cocktails. In the end, they asked, "What do you want us to do with the rest of the food?" When we replied that we were still eating and chatting, they dropped a box for the food on our table. We left feeling frustrated, vowing never to return to such a toxic environment again. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this restaurant at all costs.

Great food, good service wasn't rushed out after eating even though I felt we overstayed without buying much after food. Nothing bad to say really 👍🏾

Really enjoyable food and atmosphere. Great staff and easy to book. The set menu for 2 was a highlight for me. Only thing that could be better would be somewhere to hang coats up.

Tastiest food, served with a smile, and we wasn’t rushed out of here considering we was the last group to leave on a Saturday at 11:30pm. Will most certainly be returning.

Amazing, been a few times and live this place

Great service and food. My friend and I both had vegetarian moussaka and loved it. There are a lot of choices for vegetarians and vegans so would completely recommend!

Very nice room and atmosphere. Simple and fresh food. Overall great experience.

If you're in Beckenham and want something other than Italian food, you've got to come here. Food seemed a bit pricey at first, but we got a mixed platter of hot starters and the portions were more than generous.

We went in at a quiet time so can't fully gage the atmosphere however it was very clean and the drinks and food we had were lovely.

My daughter took me here a week ago as a Birthday treat and we had a lovely time. The service was excellent as well as the food. We will definitely go back.

We had a really mixed evening at the restaurant. I had booked a table for my husbands birthday and we were all looking forward to it. The food - when it came - was nice but the service was appalling. We had to call staff over to even order drinks, which then took ages to come. We had to then wait about 50 minutes for our main courses to arrive. The restaurant was very busy but that is not an acceptable excuse for poor service. We had a table by the door. There is a gap between the window in the entrance area and the wall, and every time someone arrived or the restaurant, we were hit with a blast of very cold air. This just added to an underwhelming experience, and is something which could very easily be fixed. Not sure we will be back.

Lovely family meal - shared hot mezze starters - fabulous spread and extremely tasty and then I had the Forest Chicken Stew which was absolutely delicious; would really recommend. The others in our group had the Kofte which were also lovely. Staff very friendly and the service was just right. Yoga later in the afternoon was a challenge following such a lovely meal!

Had a surprisingly underwhelming experience given the great food at their nearby sister restaurant. Sirloin steak was bland, as was the runny peppercorn sauce. Also, the moodlighting which changed colour every five seconds was distracting. Malbec was decent.

The place was very very busy, staff very friendly but a bit slow as it was so busy, thd food was very very good and the atmosphere was buzzing.. would visit again.

Delicious food and attentive service

I went yesterday with two friends and absolutely loved it! Such a pretty interior, very cosy and relaxing atmosphere, the food was delicious and, my main reason for leaving a review today, the service was amazing! :) a really lovely and friendly team that were always in the look out to make sure everything was good and overall a really lovely experience. Will definitely go again soon.

Great food, really tastes authentic and made fresh. Lovely servers. Warm atmosphere. We are regulars now!

Hosted a baby shower upstairs yesterday. Beautiful decor and lovely atmosphere. We had upstairs all to ourselves and it was great. Great food from the set menu - flavourful and large quantities. Staff were attentive and it was a great place to host a large group booking - would definitely recommend!

Was very good restaurant especially the party room , the food the atmosphere and the management team was very friendly and helpful

10/10 for hospitality and food. I felt like I was magically taken to the Mediterranean, rather than damp Beckenham. The food was very high quality , and at such reasonable prices. I have already recommended this restaurant to all my friends who live locally.

Really attentive service from a lovely waitress I think named Esengul ? The restaurant was a lovely setting and I was really impressed with the vegan options!

Generous portion, delicious food great service!

Omg this restaurant is amazing and i absolutely recommend to anyone to go, the food is amazing and the service is spectacular, this place is a 10 out of 10 go check it out for yourself

We were hoping to go in for dinner at Lokanta, but my husband wasn't feeling well, so we got a takeaway instead. It was ready really quickly, packaged brilliantly, and each dish was absolutely delicious; tender meat, flavourful salad, and some lovely bulgar rice. They also included some complementary warm bread and dips. Staff were really friendly too! I would highly recommend it, and I can't wait to sample their dishes again soon

Fantastic!!. This Mediterranean (turkish-greek) restaurant in Beckenham high street. Comfortable, well located. Surprised with the very good selection of background music.

We were hoping to go in for dinner at Lokanta, but my husband wasn't feeling well, so we got a takeaway instead. It was ready really quickly, packaged brilliantly. I had thr chicken shish which was very tender with flavourful salad, and some lovely bulgar rice. My husband had the spicy chicken thighs which he said were lovely. We also got some grilled halloumi which was lovely. The team at Lokanta also included some complementary warm bread and dips. Staff were really friendly and I would highly recommend it, and I can't wait to sample their dishes again soon

Really enjoyed our evening We were well looked after Good and drink great quality and v tasty Only thing was that we were the last ones in the restaurant on a wed evening around 10 pm and felt like we should leave.

Why does this restaurant persist in stating its Rice is Gluten free . Coeliacs beware . Like many Turkish restaurants the rice served contains ORZO PASTA . They know this but mark the rice as Gluten free on the menu . They have been told several times a shame as the foid is actually very good but somebody could end up really ill

Lokanta is a beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious. The service is also brilliant, they are always attentive and very welcoming. I have visited several times with friends and family. Each time has been a wonderful experience. I would highly reccomend Lokanta as a trendy and great place to dine in.

Booked a table for my birthday for 4 of us on Monday evening. Atmosphere was great and indeed felt like we were on holiday. Music was nice. Service was attentive. Food was also good the only thing was that it took a long time, especially the mains. My family got their mains and mine came like 5min later. Table was for 7pm, we arrived slightly earlier and we started eating our mains just after 9pm. Anyways food was really good and I would return. Didn’t try any dessert unfortunately.

I came here with a group of about 14 people for my partners birthday. The food was pretty decent (not the best I’ve had) but the service was absolutely terrible. When it came to the bill, everyone was paying their portion and the waiter had an issue with each amount they wanted to pay (as if he knew what they had to eat and drink more than them themselves) he over charged my friend double the amount then argued saying that he can’t pay the amount he suggested. When everyone had paid their individual bill and I asked him to calculate the remaining for me to pay he was coming up with different amounts remaining!!! Does he not know how to use a calculator?? I had to calculate the amount myself. I would have paid over £200 more than I needed to if I left it to him. If you have a large group be careful about the bill if you want to go here. Or just avoid all together!!

Nice and chic place! We had a lovely evening with my family and everything was great. Especially the hot starters were delicious!!! Definitely will come back for them. Also, we would like to say a big thank you to Ayhan as he was very welcoming and kind.

This has got to be my fave place on the high street now. I feel like I’m sitting outside in the med somewhere. Both the food & service are impeccable & each time I go I say I’m not having meze, just going to enjoy a delicious main, but you cant NOT have the mezes! I frequent lots of Turkish restaurants & can honestly say Lokantas really are the best & besides, my husband is always up for finishing whats left of my main so no problems there :)

Hello everyone I just wanted to write my appreciation for The Lokanta restaurant on beckenham high street .They hosted my birthday party last Sunday and it was an absolutely amazing experience . The service, from the booking to the event was seamless . Ayhan is your go to person who handled everything, leaving me with absolutely no worries , all I had to do was show up . The catering was done beautifully with no detail left undone . They had given me the entire upstairs portion which is absolutely beautifully decorated and my guests were so comfortable in that sociable place . There were over 35 guests who had ordered from a set menu and not one order was incorrect. Food was ready and served on time and absolutely delicious . The portions were so generous that so many guests took boxes home for leftovers. I highly highly recommend the place and a huge thank you for making my day so special . They set the tables so beautifully with candles nibbles etc and the ambiance was so warm and inviting and incredibly stylish. Thank you to all the staff at the Lokanta , you were absolutely amazing 💕💕💕

We dined here last night at The Lokanta and I’ll start off by saying all 4 of us will return to dine again. Great varied menu, good for vegan and vegetarians, all food tasted authentic and VERY tasty and portions are of the size you will not leave hungry😋…. Coupled with great service, nice ambiance it was a perfect evening. Highly recommended and it’s been a while since we could say that in a restaurant. Thankyou to all The Lokanta staff for looking after us. P.S We recommended to our vegetarian neighbours, they went for lunch today and loved it too, even had the vegan stew I recommended. :)

Beautiful restaurant, great menu with delicious food and presentation! Staff friendly and helpful. Wish I lived locally, so could go often.

Staff attentive and caring. Food tasty and fresh. Accessible and usable disabled loo

Brilliant food, great atmosphere and the nicest staff you'll find.

Came here last Friday with my friend. Food was delicious, the service was very fast and staff were very attentive! would 100% recommend
