Likya Turkish Restaurant, also known as Likya Ocakbaşı, is a long-running Turkish grill restaurant at 68-70 Golders Green Road, a short walk from Golders Green station. It is a busy, casual neighbourhood place, and the Likya name also runs a lokanta and a grocery on the same stretch.

The menu is a classic ocakbaşı one. There are around twenty cold meze, from humus and cacık to imam bayıldı and cevizli biber, then hot starters, a big charcoal grill section, dishes finished with yoghurt and sauce, and house specials such as kuzu güveç and Halep kebabı. Fresh bread with dips arrives before you order.

It suits families, groups and anyone after a reliable grill dinner in Golders Green.
