This is a great little restaurant, decorated beautifully. The food is very tasty and there’s always plenty of it. The staff are very good although I always feel a little hurried between courses. Overall, this is a wonderful place to visit for lunch or dinner.

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.

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.

Great food and friendly service! We ordered small plates to share for 3 people - the lamb liver skewer, hummus, saganaki and cassoulet were all really tasty and the flatbread, rice and beetroot salad worked well as sides. We were too full for dessert but glad we still tried the baklava as it was delicious!

Had a great night, very happy that as a party of 2 we were sat on a table for 4.. Food was amazing, brought to the table very quickly from ordering.. Only slight negative was the waiters were standing around chatting and we just happened to be seated by the till, so was slightly annoying.. But overall very happy

It was wonderful food and service. And they made my daughter feel special on her birthday with a dessert at the end with a sparkle topper and birthday song. Food amazing amd staff very friendly. Only comment, you can occassionally feel a little draught coming through when sat by the windows, even with the electric fires they place next to the table. Easy fix and don’t sit right next to the window. Apart from that, wonderful
