Whetstone

About the restaurant

Izgara is set within the vibrant restaurant quarter of Whetstone, North London and is within a couple of minutes walk from Totteridge and Whetstone Underground station.
The restaurant serves lunch and remains open for dinner untill 11.00pm, making it an ideal place for lunch, afternoon dining and dinner.
You’ll find yourself greated warmly as you ease into the comfortable, contemporary surrounds. It’s as much about great people as it is about great great Turkish Cuisine, as traditional dishes from mainland Turkey are served with a modern twist.

Pride and care is taken in the kitchen to prepare and cook using only the finest ingredients.

Notting Hill

About the restaurant

Taking its distinct taste inspirations mainly from Southeastern Anatolia Region, The Counter enriches its presentation and atmosphere with the cultural heritage of the Balkans.

Fire, both literally and figuratively, is at the heart of what we do here. Its igniting power fuels our passion and nurtures us with inspiration.

With this passion, The Counter seeks and finds the best artisans, be it a butcher, a blacksmith, or a potter, who are amorously committed to their crafts. It then brings the best of these crafts and techniques from their local ateliers to The Counter’s London location.

Our dining experience was truly exceptional. Mr Alexandre, our waiter, was outstanding; his attentive service and friendly demeanour significantly enriched our time at the restaurant. He offered great recommendations and ensured we felt well taken care of throughout the meal. The dishes we ordered were nothing short of exquisite, beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Each bite was a delightful journey for the palate. The restaurant's ambience contributed to the overall charm; it was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and cosy seating that made us feel right at home.
