LEYDI

Signal score

Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A hyper-stylish, dusty-pink dining room in the City serving elevated Turkish meze that shines brightest before the main courses arrive.

Ordering Strategy

Treat this as a meze destination—load up on dips, breads, and small plates like the crisps and lahmacun. The main grills are expensive and divisive, so proceed with caution or split the 'Leydi Deluxe' set menu for better value.

What to order

Safe first

Muhammara

Grace Dent insists you 'please, please order' this delicate, glossy 'flavour bomb' made with sun-dried red peppers and walnuts.

Wildcard

Spiced Potato Crisps

Both Grace Dent and Boutique Handbook highlight these baharat-spiced chips as 'too moorish,' suggesting they make for an 'elegant lunch' when paired with a cocktail.

Hungry

Lahmacun

A 'large spiced lamb flatbread' that critics find 'fun to eat' by rolling it up with its accompanying 'hillock' of fresh parsley, pickled chilli, and onions.

Wildcard

Seasonal Fruit Bowl

An unexpectedly 'properly heaving' dessert featuring fresh figs, peaches, and dates served with biscuits and a 'huge scoop of lemon sorbet.'

What to skip

Skip
Chicken Shish— While presented nicely, critics have noted it can be standard 'as one might find in any other Turkish spot' and may lack a distinct charcoal smokiness.

Good to know

Located inside the Hyde London City hotel near the Old Bailey. Lunch set menus offer significantly better value than the evening à la carte. Service can be inconsistent.
