I often come to Iznik as it is my pre-football lunch venue of choice. Indeed, it is one of the better Turkish restaruants I have been to in London. The decor and atmosphere is vibrant, the service is excellent and friendly, and the food (which is, after all, why I come here - travelling 180 miles to do so) is authentic and delicious. There really isn't anything adverse I can say about Iznik, and long may it keep up the high standards I always find. LM

• Middle Eastern • Spitalfields
“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.” -Imad AlarnabImad was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.
