The Counter Soho is a true gem. Their mezze selection is outstanding—each dish a burst of authentic flavour. The tuna wagyu, however, steals the spotlight with its melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Pair these delights with a wine from their impressively curated list, offering something special for every palate. A must-visit for exceptional food and a refined dining experience.

The service was excellent, and the food looked great. But I found the meat very bland and if they didn't have sauces to compliment the meal then it would have very bad and not worth the money at all. Better Turkish food places for fraction the cost.
