The Counter is a Turkish grill restaurant on Kingly Street, in the Carnaby area of Soho, a few minutes from Oxford Circus. It sits among a cluster of Turkish places on the same streets, including Le Bab, Zahter and Yeni.
The cooking is centred on the grill, with kebabs, sharing plates and meze. We haven’t been able to check a full published menu for this address, so the dishes below keep to grill-house staples rather than specific signature claims.
It suits a pre-theatre bite, a casual dinner with friends or lunch while shopping around Carnaby and Regent Street.
What to order at The Counter
The menu isn’t confirmed online, so treat these as a guide to the style rather than a fixed list.
- Kuzu pirzola – chargrilled lamb chops
- Adana kebap – spiced minced lamb from the grill
- Tavuk şiş – marinated chicken skewers
- Ezme – spicy chopped tomato and pepper salad
