Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for groups

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.

The food is outstanding - combos you wouldn’t think works but oh my word it really does!!! Value for money too and the service is mint. This is the second time I’ve been, and I brought my fuzzy friends. The ones who will complain about anything and everything. They had not a single bad word to say. (I hardly ever suggest places to eat because I can’t deal with the complaining if they aren’t happy with … the draft, the speed of service and what not - however I was confident in taking them here. And it didn’t disappoint!!) 15/10!!

I recently dined at The Counter, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic Turkish flavors and a creative twist. One standout dish I highly recommend is the fıstıklı çikolatalı babagannuş—a pistachio and chocolate-infused version of the classic babagannuş. It was incredibly unique and so well-executed. The balance of flavors was perfect, making it a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. Whether you’re craving traditional Turkish food or looking to try something new, The Counter should definitely be on your list.
