Another turkish restaurant i wasn't sure about visiting. The exterior decoration doesn't exactly sell the place, but i'm glad i gave it a try. In terms of volume of food in comparison to price paid, this place has everyone else beat. Its really cheap and you get so much! You plate is literally piled high with food! I had a chicken dish which was cooked to perfection. The drinks here are also cheap so you can enjoy yourself even more! Only bad point, hence the loss of a star, is the service. A little slow to get the food out and then not around after that!]]> Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:30:22 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1x0l281040836474 jackmale86 51.567511983419 -0.11129464842363 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1h8ad7

Decided to eat here based on other previous good reviews and I was not disappointed. The food was extremely good, fresh and served promptly. I had prawns with monkfish and my boyfriend had a selection of chicken and lamb kebabs which were both succulent and well flavoured. The portions are pretty large, well presented and good value. The only criticism I would make was that service was a little lax and then rushed when we did receive it, but it was nine o'clock on a Friday so a pretty minor point and it definitely wouldn't prevent me returning]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:16:10 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1h8ad7651233454 Cate_Brisby 51.567511983419 -0.11129464842363 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1064f7

One of my new favourite reasons about moving to Stroud Green is Petek - the portions are so large, the food is so cheap, and most importantly, it's absolutely excellent. I don't know how they manage to charge so little yet consistently serve wonderfully fresh and tasty Turkish food.

Although the strip its on is not what one would normally choose to eat in, Stroud Green is - dare I say it - becoming gentrified as younger, media types move in to the area to benefit from the cheap rent and exceptional transport links, due to its proximity to Finsbury Park tube station. Further up Stroud Green Road is the north London yuppie enclave of Crouch End; both Finsbury Park and Crouch End act as book-ends in between which Stroud Green sits, changing rather quickly as a result of various new businesses opening.

Petek is one of these restaurants. It's very cozy, decorated with colourful pendant glass lights and other traditional decor. The menus runs from mezze to grilled meats and fish, but the best value for money comes from the various tasting menus available - we chose the largest one at only 13 pounds per person, and left incredibly satiated after 7 different types of mezze, fresh bread hot out of the oven, and grilled chicken shish with rice and salad. For the price you pay, the food is unbelievably good and well worth a visit.]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:24:34 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1064f71629772964 Sami 51.567511983419 -0.11129464842363 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1190k8

Petek is a Turkish restaurant which has opened recently. I discovered it through a friend who organised a leaving do there. The staff and owner are very friendly and hospitable and the restaurant nicely decorated, traditional style. The food was excellent. The set menu consisted of many mezzes and the main course included a choice of a delicious oven-cooked seabass, a great traditional Turkish kebab dish and also a vegetarian option. The food was truly excellent, and the service the same. The night was truly great value for money. I thouroughly recommend it!]]> Sat, 22 Jul 2006 01:25:32 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1190k81665426109 Mez 51.567511983419 -0.11129464842363 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1060m9

Petek is a newish restaurant in FInsbury. I went there for a friend's leaving do and really like the place. The food was great and the prices great too. The best thing though were the people there, exspecially the owner. They took care of everything for us to have a great night and send Steve and Becs on their way in top style. ]]> Fri, 21 Jul 2006 16:02:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n5568/petek/1060m91059078503 sokratis 51.567511983419 -0.11129464842363
