Gilgamesh London

Nora is not your typical Turkish restaurant. Brought to life by brothers Ozgur and Sidar Akyuz, Nora is a refreshing and free-spirited take on Turkish cuisine, built on the vibrancy of Anatolian small plates, the best of British produce, and a no-rules, no-dogma approach to creativity. This is a restaurant where hospitality leads the way, where every dish tells a story of heritage and innovation, and where the energy of Canary Wharf meets the warmth of Istanbul’s kitchens.
