Antalya

Situated just steps from the British Museum and Russel Square Station, Antalya serves Turkish cuisine in the heart of London. With his other Antalya location in Nottingham, owner Mehmet Kolcak has been offering up tasty Turkish and Mediterranean classics for over 25 years. Using centuries-old traditional Turkish recipes, guests experience the flavors of Istanbul in the middle of England’s capital city. Offering up Lamb, Steak, Chicken and vegetarian specialties, it is Kolcak’s keen attention to detail that sets Antalya apart from the rest.

Antalya on Southampton Road serves up luxurious cuisine without a stuffy atmosphere. Complete with colorful murals and painted ceilings, Antalya transports guests to another time and place in total contrast to the bustling London environment just outside the restaurant’s walls. Choose from a variety of mezze, small plates comparable to tapas, or go all out and order a full entrée. Whatever the decision, Antalya promises not to disappoint.

The restaurant’s beautiful interior sets high expectations for the food, as it should. With dishes ranging from Asparagus Kulesi to Tavuk Topkapi (Ottoman Style Chicken), patrons of Antalya come in time and again without ever tiring of the menu. The Turkish restaurant’s central location on Southampton Road makes for a perfect destination after a day about own. Diners can finish up their experience with a wide array of desserts or a strong Turkish coffee.
