Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for groups

Taking its distinct taste inspirations mainly from Southeastern Anatolia Region, The Counter enriches its presentation and atmosphere with the cultural heritage of the Balkans.

Fire, both literally and figuratively, is at the heart of what we do here. Its igniting power fuels our passion and nurtures us with inspiration.

With this passion, The Counter seeks and finds the best artisans, be it a butcher, a blacksmith, or a potter, who are amorously committed to their crafts. It then brings the best of these crafts and techniques from their local ateliers to The Counter’s London location.

Waitress was super helpful and friendly but the whole experience felt a bit cramped - the tables next to us were really close and there wasn’t much room for all the dishes they had brought out. The restaurant also smelt strongly of cigarette smoke.

Delicious food. Shame about some of the other elements of the experience. Service was a bit haphazard, with staff forgetting whenever we asked for water, etc. We were on the raised table opposite the bar, which is in an unfortunate position - we regularly were jostled and our bags and items mistakenly kicked/hit as staff passed by. As it was also in an alcove/corner, it was extremely tight and difficult to manoeuvre in and out. Suggest that table be completely removed as it did somewhat ruin the experience even though the food was delicious.

It was pretty cold in there. Food was pretty good. Service was pretty slow. Waiters kept bumping into our backs (seats too close together)

The food is outstanding - combos you wouldn’t think works but oh my word it really does!!! Value for money too and the service is mint. This is the second time I’ve been, and I brought my fuzzy friends. The ones who will complain about anything and everything. They had not a single bad word to say. (I hardly ever suggest places to eat because I can’t deal with the complaining if they aren’t happy with … the draft, the speed of service and what not - however I was confident in taking them here. And it didn’t disappoint!!) 15/10!!
