Yosma

For raki cocktails and exotic flavours inspired by the streets of Istanbul, you can't beat this chic haven a short stroll from Baker Street station.

A contemporary take on a traditional Turkish taverna, expect ceramic tiled walls and an open kitchen where a talented team smokes carefully sourced ingredients over a josper grill.

From manti dumplings to battered mullet, the mezze selection is superb and includes plenty of vegetarian options. Don’t miss melon scattered with chunks of feta, barrel-aged in-house.

Get your grill on with kofte, lamb chops and a selection of seafood, all fresh off the mangal and served with a selection of authentic sauces including zingy lime yoghurt.

The wine list focuses on Turkish wines made from indigenous grapes (although there are several European options too), while an innovative cocktail list shows just how versatile raki can be. We love the Yosma sour!
