What they say:

Stepping inside Mayfair's Ruya, is like stepping into a Mediterranean oasis. Inspired by historic Anatolian cuisine, dishes like 24-hour slow-cooked short rib with Turkish chili BBQ glaze and spiced Konya chickpea puree take centre stage on the menu. The 136 capacity restaurant, bar, and lounge offers its guests an intimate night out with private dining spaces available for larger groups. This is the second Ruya venue for owner Umut Özkanca who brings his family's traditions to London, whilst also nodding to the future with uber-modern and sleek interiors.

What we say:

The only way to fully appreciate what Ruya has to offer is to embrace one of their unique dining experiences from sitting at the chef's table to enjoying the bar area. The selection of signature cocktails takes visitors from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea with drinks like the Lokum, Saze-raki, and the appropriately-named Black Sea which is made with Rye whiskey, Cognac, Vermouth, raisin, cinnamon and bitters.
