Liman means port in the Turkish language, but this restaurant opens its doors to all aspects of Mediterranean cooking and cuisine. This means that there is a delicious array of dishes to try at the restaurant, especially since everything is so delicately crafted to keep a traditional freshness at the forefront of the recipes. Tucked away in the Islington neighbourhood of London, this restaurant would be a great place to get together with family and friends in order to make the most of the enticing sharing platters.
The ambiance within this restaurant is easy going and definitely gives the sense that it is a close-run business, as staff are so friendly and welcoming. The décor of the restaurant supports this. Wood panelling and brick features line the walls of the restaurant, which itself is not too big in size, reinforcing an intimate, casual atmosphere. The casual ambiance means that this restaurant is versatile in terms of providing the perfect setting for a table of 2 or a table of 6.
Right before you are able to explore the exciting Meze section of the menu, you are met with an extensive list of starters that prove to be a great start to the dining experience. Olives, hummus, babaganoush... or oven baked halloumi, beef vine leaves, courgette fritters... it’s almost too hard to choose! Once you’ve made that first tricky decision, it’s time to move onto the next one – your main course. The beef moussaka, adana kebab, spinach stew, or shish kebab could be a potential choice. Or maybe you’re in the mood for the mixed grill, which is easily shared between a larger group of people. Desert may (possibly) be a slightly easier choice, as the home-made baklava is extremely popular. Either way, your dining experience at Liman is sure to be an enjoyable one!
