Lokum Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar

“Celebrated my birthday here and it was absolutely amazing! 🎉 The atmosphere was so lively and fun — exactly what I wanted for a special night. Everything felt effortless, from the vibe to the service, and we had such a great time laughing, dancing, and just enjoying the moment. Definitely a place that knows how to create a memorable experience. Highly recommend for celebrations! ✨”

“Absolutely incredible experience at Lokum! From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, stylish, and thoughtfully done. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, the food is exceptional, and every single detail shows how much care goes into this place. The dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — truly one of those meals where you keep saying “wow” after every bite. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and made with love. This is the kind of restaurant you want to come back to again and again. But what truly made the night unforgettable was our waitress Arabella. She is an absolute gem. So attentive, kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of service that instantly elevates the entire experience. She made us feel special without being overbearing, gave great recommendations, and brought such positive energy to the table. Service like hers is rare and deserves real recognition. Lokum is a place that gets everything right: food, atmosphere, and people. Huge thank you to the team — and especially to Arabella — for such a perfect experience. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“100% Halal and delicious! However Alcohol is served and they do have mocktails. We ordered the steak fettuccine Alfredo, calamari, flatbread pizza, beef kebabs, strawberry mocktail and a mixed appetizer platter. The calamari was outstanding. The pasta could’ve been a bit creamier but overall the experience was great. Def recommend it if you’re in the area.”

“Highly recommend the lamb chops. They were very tasty and crispy at the bone. Lokum gave a generous portion of salmon that was also very flavorful and charred beautifully. The Goddess meze platter is a must, especially with the muhammara, avocado ganoush, and hummus! The best drinks were one night stand in Moscow and stray cat in Istanbul. Our waitress, Maryanna was friendly. I don't recommend: The peach in Paris—it didn't taste like peach at all, and the fries were not shoestring fries and were quite bland.”

“We came to your restaurant based on a friend’s recommendation who said you have great food and good hookah. The food and the hookah were actually good no complaints about that. But the service was absolutely terrible. I ordered Turkish tea. There were 4 of us girls, but they brought only 2 bardak. That was already strange, but since I was the only one drinking tea, I didn’t make an issue out of it. Then we asked for sugar, and it took about 20–25 minutes for it to arrive. When it finally came, there were no spoons to stir the tea. We ended up using a knife that was on the table just to mix the sugar. That is honestly ridiculous. The waiters also didn’t clear the table. At some point it became uncomfortable to keep asking for basic things, especially because the staff seemed much more interested in their phones than in the guests. It’s very disappointing because the kitchen and the hookah are good, but the service is completely unacceptable. Maybe it’s time to start paying your staff better so they are actually motivated to do their job”
