A Turkish Lunch at Ishtar

Ishtar is our favourite Turkish restaurant, which we have visited many times over the last 20 years and  they have always looked after us well.

It  continues to be one of the most popular Turkish restaurants in London and consistently receives very good reviews including several from Time Out. The quality of their food is excellent, service is attentive but not oppressive and the ambience is convivial.   Ishtar was the ancient “Sumero-Babylonian” goddess of fertility, love and light, and the restaurant says “this is reflected in our food”. Ishtar serves modern and traditional Turkish food.

Your organiser frequently eats there and, as a regular, has negotiated a remarkable price of £59.00 for your menu, with wine from the top end of their wine list including Chateau Musar.

We will start with an apéritif  and a choice of hot and cold mezze, including hummus, taboulleh, sautéed aubergines, spinach paté, aubergine puée, fresh broad beans or pan fried king prawns.

For the main course there will be a choice of four dishes – chicken, lamb, fish or vegetarian.

The dessert will be Baklava served with ice cream

This will be followed by Tea or Turkish Coffee.

We will be in the quieter upstairs dining room.

This is a good opportunity to bring friends for a fun occasion.
