About
Liman’s menu features dishes from the “Fertile Crescent” to the Levant, which have passed the long test of history, faithful to the hearths of old while also embracing the soil and life of their new land, with ingredients acquired fresh daily. But some vital ingredients can only be brought from Turkey, like pistachios from Antep, dried rose petals, tart pomegranate molasses, sumac, local pepper flakes and dried apples. The wine list is also created with an eye to the lands represented on the menu. But whatever Liman prepares and serves, its guests remain the most vital element. Because Liman is our home, and the rhythm of our lives.

Visited again and up to the usual high standards. Service was good and I gained the impression that the number of tables had been reduced. No sign of the 2 ladies who run the restaurant. Price has gone up as well like everywhere. Cost of...dinner for 2 was £80 including service and modest drinks. Note that 2 of use shared a main.More

Second time going there and it was still as good. Cosy setting, welcoming staff, and the food is just amazing! They did their best to find us a table even though we went as a large group without booking.

Myself and my partner like Turkish food and eat out at Turkish restaurants alot but the food at Liman was next level for both of us. Everything I ate, from the houmous to the bread, the halloumi, and my chicken shish main course were the...best I have ever tasted. So much flavour in everything, we absolutely loved it. If I didn't live in Yorkshire I would be here every week but next time I am in London this will definitely be top of my list of places to eat.More

First restaurant we went to in London and it was just amazing. Great food, attentionate waiters, beautiful place, not far from the centre. The waiters even spent time playing with our baby. They made us feel very comfortable. We had a lovely evening there!

Restaurant had a warming atmosphere, and we had a lovely family dinner. Staff were very friendly and food didn’t take very long to arrive. Starters were lovely, highly recommend the homemade hummus and calamari, and the meat was absolutely delicious and flavourful.

Very average food but well cooked.but under spiced. Quite bland. Didn't have any Turkish tea, coffee or special cold drinks. Strange for a Turkish restaurant! Overpriced for very average food.

The food was delicious !! Everything tasted very fresh, the bread was beautiful. I had an embarrassing slip and knocked my red wine into my linguini just after it had arrived. I asked if they would drain the wine from the plate ( there wasn’t...too much) . The waitress came back and said the chef preferred to offer to cook me a fresh dish, I was slightly embarrassed and said they didn’t have to, she assured me they didn’t mind. Before my partner was half finished a steaming plate of fantastic linguini was there. Super food and incredible service. They care about their food and their customers ! I’d definitely go again. Thank you.More

Best food and service I’ve had. Great calamari. Wonderful and tender beef stew. Super tasty and tender lamb. You rarely get a place that has such a variety of cuisines but does them all so equally well. Very positively surprised! Definitely coming back.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was excellent and service very good. The only downside was the lack of welcome we received and the way we were rudely reminded that we had overstayed our two hour slot by two minutes because the next round of...diners had arrived. I would definitely go back but they need to have a word with whoever is in charge of front of house.More

Hey there, I would definitely recommend the restaurant for a romantic evening. About the bread, I am not really shure. But I believe you can order it separately. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

You can park right on the street near restaurant but I think you need to pay for this.
