    The overall experience is positive. Mezes were quite delicious and outstanding (White chocolate babagannus and Humus with dates) which I have not tasted anywhere else before. We ordered Adana as the main course. it was delicious and but portion was quite small and there was nothing as a side dish as rice, cooked vegetables and the service was made in a small plate which showed it like hot starter not the main course. I'd work on changing the way Adana is served and it was quite expensive. there was also no Kids menu.. Price/Value ratio could also be something to improve.

    We had an outstanding dining experience at The Counter in Soho! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, especially the manager, who went above and beyond to help us find the perfect table. Their attentive and friendly service set a wonderful tone for the evening. The food was really enjoyable. The saganaki was delicious – perfectly melted and rich without being overwhelming. The fish dishes were another standout, cooked just right, with a nice, delicate flavor but with a twist. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in the quality of their dishes. Overall, it was a lovely evening with excellent service and tasty food. We’re looking forward to returning to try more of the menu!

    Service was slow, had to ask for wine 3 times. Food is undeniably good but portion sizes of some items don’t make sense. Bread should be unlimited for dips considering the price they’re sold at, and adana kebab portion was very small for £20. Shame as ambiance is great and had some great food, but this is the second mixed experience I’ve had here (the other time in Notting Hill)

    A very cold restaurant. Was seated by the door, despite the restaurant being empty, but the waitress wouldn't close it as they needed to keep it open for customers. Had to disrup the lunch meeting and be re-seated. The food size on the set menu was odd. I had the sea bass which was minimal whereas my colleague had the mezze which was large but insufficient flat bread and then charged for an extra portion of the bread. The chips for the main were tiny shreds, not normal fries. Very disappointed noting what appeared to be very good reviews.
