My friend and I visited Pera for lunch yesterday, and it was wonderful. We had the hot and cold mezze for 15 per person, and there were numerous plates of delicious and flavoursome food. We had baklava for dessert to share, and it was amazing. Service was fantastic too. I'd highly recommend visiting Pera.

Absolute hidden gem! We had the set banquet for two and couldn’t believe the size of the portions aswell as the incredible flavours and quality of food. Christina and the other young guy with glasses serving us were both very attentive and lovely. Will be back x

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent – truly outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The only downside was a bit of a wait for our table, but they were very apologetic and handled it with kindness and professionalism. Definitely worth it – we’ll be back!

Great little Turkish restaurant. I went there with two other people last night. Nice friendly service and very tasty well cooked food, at a really reasonable price. Also very good complimentary bread was provided. I would not hesitate to recommend. We will definitely go back.

Great little Turkish place - you’d walk past it if you weren’t looking. Super friendly staff. Stephen the manager was so attentive. Food is fresh and hot. Lots of choice. Lots of salad on the side! Had a couple of mezze’s and a main which was basically a kofta wrapped in fresh and soft lavash.

What an absolute gem! Went to Pera this afternoon and it certainly lives up to the great reviews! We ordered 6 meze dishes (a basket of bread was included) and this was the perfect amount for me and my partner. The dishes were a great size, delicious and we were super surprised at the value for money. For dessert we shared the Baklava (as pictured) which again was absolutely delicious! Not only that, the service was excellent, really attentive, swift and polite highly recommend, will definitely be back again!

Had a lovely lunch in the restaurant. The service was excellent and we were allowed to sample a couple of the Turkish wines before making our choice. All 4 of us had different starters and mains and they were all of a high standard. Our previous visit had been on a Friday evening when the restaurant was packed and very busy so it was good to also experience the restaurant during a quieter lunchtime.
