We will start off with one of the best Turkish restaurants in Lewisham – Levante Restaurant! They offer amazing food that is well-made and always prepared with fresh ingredients. The chef has worked in top Turkish restaurants around Europe and he has over 15 years of experience by now which is why the Levante menu is so amazing!
They have a large menu that features traditional Turkish food as well as some unique options that you really cannot find anywhere else!
Our team highly recommends you skip on the quick lunch and go whenever you have time – for example, a nice dinner after a long day at work so you will be able to enjoy everything – from the cold and hot starters to the main meals!
We recommend you order the Sigara Boregi which is deep-fried dough stuffed with feta cheese and parsley – it’s one of our favourite starters!
