Ishtar
About Ishtar
Ishtar restaurant in London's Crawford Street is just steps from the mass of Turkish restaurants in the Edgware Road, and Ishtar manages to distinguish itself with style, refinement and confident cooking. Ishtar is named for the ancient Babylonian goddess of fertility, love and light, so the light and airy dining room here and the lightness of touch in the food aims to reflect her spirit. The décor is smart and modern, with copper-clad walls, modern art, dining on two levels, including under cellar arches where you'll find very cosy corners. The menu at Ishtar restaurant includes all the things you love in Middle Eastern cooking, but updated. Try starter of grilled king prawns with garlic and parsley sauce, main course of grilled fillet of lamb with pastirma. Turkish coffee and wines are an absolute requirement. Expect belly dancers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and a warm and professional welcome at all times.

Good food and good service. The man greeting you on entrance could be more cheerful
Ishtar just off Baker St is a perfect lunch spot for those working in the area who want to sit down, but want something quick and good value. I had the king prawns to start - probably wasn't the best choice as they came in a tomato sauce which I always think overpowers the prawns. I had a delicious lamb kofta for my main though. Generous portion and amazingly good value. We had the £10.95 two course lunch menu, which has a large number of options.
We had a very lovely and entertaining dinner at Ishtar in Marylebone. We went for the set menu and the selection of starters was amazing! The main course was not as good but still very enjoyable. It was really a lot of good food for the amount we paid. Our waiter was very attentive and absolutely sweet. We loved the live music and belly dancing show. Everyone was getting up to dance. If you look for an exciting place to dine at go for it! Can only recommend Istar!
Excellent value for lunch,generous portions for 2 courses £ 10.95. I had stater Meze plater which was very fresh and tasty. My main course Chicken with vegetables in a authentic plate was delicious. Service friendly and quick. I will return back soon.
I went to Ishtar in Crawford Street, London for dinner with my daughter. The restaurant was very buzzy and had a good atmosphere. We both found the food good, the service friendly and the wine reasonably priced. I would certainly go again.
