Bite Express

On Friday, we had the pleasure of sampling the menu at BITE EXPRESS, and what a lovely experience it was!
This hidden gem of a Turkish restaurant is run by the talented owner and chef, Tolga, whose passion for cooking shines through in every dish. Almost everything on the menu is prepared by him, and you can taste the love and care in every bite.
Bite Express is located at the end of Bartholomew Street, slightly off the beaten path but absolutely worth the short detour. Conveniently situated near the station, it’s an ideal spot for grabbing a meal while waiting for a train. (They do also have take away coffee!)The restaurant offers a clean, modern ambiance with a cozy, relaxed vibe, perfect for dining in or take aways.
Tolga treated us to a feast of his flavorful creations. We started with mezze platters that featured an array of mouthwatering delights: aubergine in a rich tomato garlic sauce, halloumi, sujuk, tzatziki, and our favorite—the homemade crispy cheese rolls. These were served alongside soft, warm flatbreads.
For the main course, we enjoyed perfectly seasoned lamb chops, succulent chicken wings, and tender steak, all bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. To end with, we had the most delicious pistachio baklava.
Bite Express is also an excellent venue for intimate gatherings or private parties, accommodating up to 16 guests. It’s the perfect place to share a variety of dishes with friends and family.
We are already looking forward to our next visit! Bite Express will also be offering our members a 10% discount from Tuesday -Thursday from the 15th of January to the 13th of February. Just present your card at the restaurant.
