Wood Oven Kitchen

Food was really nice, but not outstanding. We've had better Turkish food for a cheaper price nearby at The Olive in Leytonstone. Decor is a tad outdated and garish, nevertheless we had an enjoyable meal. They have big tables for families and smaller tables for intimate eating. I wouldn't go here for a date night, more like family time with kids etc. Prices are a little steep for what you get, especially considering I could get the same platter in Whitechapel (near Central) for £22 whereas here it cost £50. One thing to point out is that they have a mandatory service charge. We overheard another table asking if service charge could be taken off, they were refused and were forced to pay the amount plus service charge.

Have visited here regularly. They always have a table for us. Friendly staff. Clean tables. Food is delicious. Prices are probably the standard. A shish kebab will cost you £13.90 and will come as seen in the picture. Only downside was the cleanliness of the male toilet, that did not appear to have been cleaned recently. CASH ONLY. There are nearby cash points.

Great food, I can’t fault the food. The Octopus was a little tough and dry and would be great if they could chop them to cook but otherwise I have been a few times and everything I have had has been superb. You can taste the fresh Mediterranean flavours especially in the seafood. The vibe is lovely, warm and cosy and very spacious compared to the annex restaurant down the road. The staff were ok but not particularly friendly, their customer services were a little rigid. They were polite but I have seen more friendly staff elsewhere especially at their annex. Value for money is perfect and portions are huge. Be sure to leave with a full belly. Will certainly go back.
