Kebir Turkish Kitchen

Stepping into Kebir Turkish Kitchen is like stepping onto the richly woven carpet of a high-end Istanbul hotel: it's comforting, inviting and speaks of a history passed down through generations. At this family-run Surbiton gem, visitors are welcomed into a vibrant dining room where Turkish heritage is celebrated through sublime flavours and charming traditional decor.

In the kitchen, skilled chefs use the freshest local ingredients to bring out the authentic flavours of Turkey, crafting fragrant, beautifully spiced dishes that showcase the best of the country's cuisine. The menu is a glittering array of traditional hot and cold mezze with highlights such as the Sigara Boregi, filo pastry filled with feta cheese and spinach, and the vegetarian favourite, falafel served with hummus.

For a main, go for the chicken shish kebab, marinated overnight and cooked to juicy, smoky perfection over hot coals. It comes with rice and salad, all of your 5-a-day ticked off in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, seafood lovers will find happiness in the grilled salmon, which arrives with a mixed salad.

The restaurant is steeped in history, its exposed brickwork reminiscent of a Sultan's palace. The dining experience here is heightened by the combination of authentic Turkish cuisine and the charm of the building's historical aspects. Warm hospitality and meticulous service complement the delicious and traditional creations, making every visit unforgettable. A celebration of Anatolian culture awaits at Kebir Turkish Kitchen.
