Yeni

After gaining cult status in its home city of Istanbul, Yeni Lokanta comes to Soho in the form of Yeni. Fusing traditional Turkish flavours with a thoroughly modern sensibility, this Beak Street restaurant from award-winning chef Civan Er is one of the area's most sought after eateries. 

From aubergine-filled manti with goats' yoghurt, to oven roasted ribs and Josper-grilled octopus, Yeni offers a stunning selection of dishes from lunchtime until dinner. To complement the food, the bar showcases authentic flavours of Istanbul with a range of cocktails that features traditional raki infusions alongside less customary ingredients such as isot pepper and mahalep cherry. 

The interiors make an impact as well, with hand blown chandeliers, sea-green tabletops and a wall of solid Onyx designed to emulate the colour palettes of the old market town, while a number of Levantine tiles bear the floral insignia of the restaurant.
