Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We didn’t have a booking and we were very lucky to get a seat in this busy warm restaurant. The service was exceptional and the restaurant was cosy but lively. The food was super tasty - the cauliflower main was huge ! The starters were...great and big in portion size aswell. They even got us some component baklava which was lovely too. Had a fantastic evening and would definitely return - but would probably book next time just in case. :)More

We have just returned from a weekend in London staying in the Kings Cross area and then meant one thing.... a return to Liman. It was just as good as the first time we visited in the summer. The food here is definitely not your...average Turkish fayre. It is elevated to fine dining! The chefs are incredibly talented and produce delicate, beautifully flavoured dishes. It is also a beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience and good service. It will be a go to place whenever we are in the capital.More

We returned to Islington so had to return to Liman. They are still maintaining their outstanding offer, great food, great service and a welcoming atmosphere. We would recommend anything on the menu but at a push would say the highlight are the lamb chops.

We were a party of six friends celebrating a birthday and having read the excellent reviews of LIMAN thought we’d give dinner there a try. We certainly weren’t disappointed! One of our party had the Mix Grill which looked amazing and apparently tasted delicious, I...had the Courgette Fritters followed by the Sea Bream and my boyfriend had the Seared Scallops followed by Lamb Beyti. I can’t remember what everyone else had but all the dishes were beautifully presented. The manager, Sam, and his staff were professional and friendly, advising us on the menu and making recommendations when we asked for advice. They didn’t ‘hover’ over us while we ate but were readily available if we needed anything. We all had a wonderful evening and look forward very much to returning there for our next birthday celebration!More

Had lunch at Liman this past Friday...here are my thoughts: Ambiance is nice. The restaurant was quiet on a Friday afternoon. Service is oddly unfriendly and our attempts at conversation left us looking really awkward. Food is overall delicious! I highly recommend the cauliflower and...the roasted potatoes. My husband had the chicken and said it was fine but nothing special. I was surprised that no bread was offered to start (love Turkish bread). Prices are fine, maybe a bit high for the quantity. Not sure we'd return since it's kind of out of our way...but if we do I'll definitely get the cauliflower again!More

Visited again and up to the usual high standards. Service was good and I gained the impression that the number of tables had been reduced. No sign of the 2 ladies who run the restaurant. Price has gone up as well like everywhere. Cost of...dinner for 2 was £80 including service and modest drinks. Note that 2 of use shared a main.More

Second time going there and it was still as good. Cosy setting, welcoming staff, and the food is just amazing! They did their best to find us a table even though we went as a large group without booking.

Myself and my partner like Turkish food and eat out at Turkish restaurants alot but the food at Liman was next level for both of us. Everything I ate, from the houmous to the bread, the halloumi, and my chicken shish main course were the...best I have ever tasted. So much flavour in everything, we absolutely loved it. If I didn't live in Yorkshire I would be here every week but next time I am in London this will definitely be top of my list of places to eat.More

First restaurant we went to in London and it was just amazing. Great food, attentionate waiters, beautiful place, not far from the centre. The waiters even spent time playing with our baby. They made us feel very comfortable. We had a lovely evening there!

Restaurant had a warming atmosphere, and we had a lovely family dinner. Staff were very friendly and food didn’t take very long to arrive. Starters were lovely, highly recommend the homemade hummus and calamari, and the meat was absolutely delicious and flavourful.

Hey there, I would definitely recommend the restaurant for a romantic evening. About the bread, I am not really shure. But I believe you can order it separately. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

You can park right on the street near restaurant but I think you need to pay for this.
