Trade in Tower Hamlets

Visited early on Saturday evening and had the Islim kebab and a feta salad, both very tasty. Fast and friendly service. If I lived in the area I would definitely go back.

A lovely meal, the host was very accommodating when enquiring about GF options. We both thoroughly enjoyed our selection, and with it being one of the first times experiencing the dishes,and flavours, it was really good. I'm sure to return. You should definitely try this restaurant out.

Surprisingly great atmosphere, really great food and service.

Came here for a dinner on a Thursday night with 3 others and had a really nice time. Lovely place, intimate but spacious, full of dark wood and brick and artwork. We ordered some starters to share, which were the Houmous, the Shakshuka, and the Halloumi & Sucuk Shish. All of these were very tasty, especially the Shakshuka. For mains, we had the Islim Kebab (okay), Iskender (good), Kleftiko (bland) and Chicken Casserole (good). And for dessert, we shared a Chocolate Brownie and a Rice Pudding (both good). Ambiance and service were excellent. Overall, I'd go back again, though probably to have mainly starters/ sharing platters, but I'd happily try more dishes from the menu, which is extensive. Drinks were also good, and they were happy to make mocktails for us too. Very convenient location too, right outside Limehouse station.

Kirvem should be the best Turkish restaurant in London, it has the ambience and delicious menu options. It’s also a lot easier to reach than it might first appear, being just two stops from Bank on the DLR. Prices are also reasonable considering the good portion sizes, with one notable exception which is so un-Turkish and disappointing…Unfortunately something as simple (and important) after a Turkish meal as Turkish tea is a whopping £2.35 per tiny glass. Now yes this is London, not Türkiye - where it would always be free, but even in the UK it will often be complimentary and part of good Turkish hospitality. It’s mind-blowing that for four people dining together, a post-meal glass of çay for each person will increase the bill by over a tenner once service is added!Also, if you are a fan of lahmacun, you will disappointed by the minimal amount of mince on top. You will find much more generosity in other London Turkish restaurants.I do recommend Kirvem, but culturally it’s a bit hit and miss.

We thoroughly enjoyed our quiz team meal here. I was a bit early so sat and had a lovely g&t and it is a very pleasant place to sit, loved the decor. The staff were very professional and friendly. All the starters looked and tasted great. Turkish sausage, haloumi ,falafel, tabouli, kebabs and salads were very good. Main courses were all good , and sizeable. Various kebabs, med chicken, seafood and mixed grill all looked and tastedvery good. Quality produce was used. We were all too full to have dessert. Highly recommended, .

Would give 0 stars if that was an option. I am really sorry to say but this take away was a massive let down. I placed 49£ order hoping for nice and fresh Mediterranean/ Turkish food but what we got is worse then dirty high street food. Tabbouleh was tiny and with no flavour, tasted literally like chopped parsley with pomegranate.Mixed grill for 20£ was rather humble, awfully presented and not tasty. Beef burger was just like tesco burger meat with buns, no additions, definitely not homemade, looking and tasting cheap. Pita bread also from pack, definitely not fresh and soggy. In all our order only filo pastry with cheese was okey, but still not worth its price. This was first and last time ordering from this place. Offensive, not decent food. Things must have gone terribly wrong with this place, we saw some great reviews from 3-4 years ago, but do be mislead by them, nothing to do with current quality.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience here! The staff were perfectly attentive and were really friendly, always smiling and made us laugh too. The food is incredible and they even gave us a small dish on the house to try which was a nice touch. Perfect place for a catch up with friends or a date night - I would definitely go back.

Really tasty food. Well priced and great staff. Cocktails were a nice touch with the 2 for 1 offer.

Food was exceptional! I went with my husband and 2 kids (10 and 2), we all enjoyed every dish, calamari we ordered second time, it was that good! Lamb shank was beautifully tender, with creamy mash and the flavours were just extraordinary! This will be our new regular for sure! Highly recommend it! Stuff were amazing too! Thank you Kirvem!
