Harden's says
Istanbul star chef Esra Muslu has finally opened her own London restaurant; rumours had been circulating since her March 2018 residency at Carousel.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“An impressive addition to the Carnaby Street scene” – this modern Eastern-Med newcomer from Turkish chef Esra Muslu is decorated in an informal café style that’s deceptive given the high quality of the cuisine. The open kitchen and counter on the ground floor “give you so much to talk about (I just love watching the flames in the oven)” and “the food can be as light or heavy as you wish” according to which small plates you go for. “Love it”… but it can be “ridiculously noisy”, “staff don’t always seem to know what they’re doing” and the small dishes come at chunky prices.
Summary
Ex-Spitalfields Ottolenghi chef, Esra Muslu is finally opening her own London restaurant (rumours of which have been circulating for years) in Autumn 2021. A four-floor site off Carnaby Street will incorporate a ground floor with counter and al fresco seating, plus a dining room, events space and cookery school on upper floors. The cuisine? ‘Istanbulite’.
