Visited for the first time on Saturday night,we didn't have a reservation but although very busy, from the moment we entered we were given a warm welcome and accommodated. The atmosphere is cozy and modern,good decor,clean,the staff are friendly and polite. The food was delicious. As my friend and I were celebrating our birthdays we were surprised by a cake with candle and a little song by the team and honestly that made me us feel special! We were also able to enjoy a few drinks and the evening entertainment on the lower ground and had a very good time. Special thanks to Selo who went above and beyond to make sure we had a good evening. Highly recommend this place!

Truly a lucky find with this restaurant. We were looking for a Turkish place to eat, a little more upscale, nice atmosphere and where we can sit and have delicious food. This was the place!! Jama, our server, was fabulous! He was attentive and very freindly. The entire staff also made the experience more delightful. The food was full of flavor and amazing. One of the best we've been to on our travels. Definitely will visit again when we travel back to London.

Recently went here for the first time, The service was great and the restaurant has wonderful decor. Both lighting and design of the place is unique, also the Saxophone player added to the ambience. The Food was great too, I recommend the Kibele mixed dish. Both the lamb and chicken shish were cooked with great flavour and the rice was great. Definitely would recommend.

Firstly, the staff were great! Very patient with us (one in my company was already fairly tipsy upon arrival and kept drinking like a fish). Secondly, the atmosphere was splendid. Great entertainment, with a live band, dancers, acrobatics and what not. (On the downstairs seating only - and you pay a little bit extra for the «entertainment packet». Thirdly, the food was amazing!! Portions huge and the moussaka (that I at that time was too full to have much of) was incredibly tasty! I had the hummus with Turkish chorizo as a starter. This dish also comes with bread. Which was divine! I recommend to rather share starters as they are the size of a large main. Value for money! We also had unlimited Prosecco the first 1.5h. (Which my previously mentioned friend really dove into) My friends were also very happy with the food and entertainment. There is an option for the set 4 course menu that includes the entertainment fee at 65. However we could order from the regular menu if we preferred that. Which all of us ended up doing. If you are to go for the set menu, make sure you’re a big eater and that you’re very hungry as it feels bad to leave food (or at least I feel so). I had to dash after 2h 15m as I had another engagement which felt bad. My friends stayed. I also felt horrible about leaving the moussaka which was so so so good, but I just couldn’t eat more. I still feel full today (next day at 1pm). Attaching some pictures of the food. If you’re looking for a fun night with delicious food where you get value for money, Kibele is your place to go!

Probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in a very very long time. If you want the entertainment, book for an additional 20 pp (service charge doesn’t need to paid on top of this) for downstairs seating. There was sensational food, a live talented band, belly dancers, fire breathers and open floor dancing towards the end of the night. Our server (unfortunately I have forgotten his name) was exceptional and attentive. Thank you for the most pleasurable night, there is absolutely no chance that I won’t come back in the near future. I can’t wait to return!

Step into the Magic of Turkey in the Heart of London! @kibele.london Last night, we discovered a hidden gem: Kibele, where dinner becomes an unforgettable experience. This isn’t just about food - it’s about the magic. Think dazzling belly dancers, a fire-breather who leaves you in awe, live music blending traditional Turkish melodies with modern beats to keep the energy soaring. The atmosphere is stylish yet inviting - a modern twist on Turkish tradition, perfect for a special night out. The food? Pure perfection. We started with traditional mezes, each bite full of bold flavours and freshness. Then came the mains: tender kebabs and melt-in-your-mouth lamb shish, cooked to absolute perfection. Pair it all with your choice of drinks - cocktails, mocktails, or a curated wine list - and you’ve got yourself an evening to remember. Every Friday and Saturday, Kibele redefines immersive dining. It’s a feast for all the senses - a celebration of food, culture, and entertainment. If you haven’t been yet, add it to your list. You won’t regret it.
