Born in Istanbul in 2013 and arriving in Soho some years later, Yeni has been serving Turkish dishes with chef Civan Er’s modern twist since 2019 – earning its place in the Michelin Guide and a loyal following along the way.
At its heart, Yeni remains a destination for refined dining. Both the à la carte and tasting menus showcase the kitchen’s signature approach, which is modern Turkish cooking that is rooted in tradition. Think open-fire techniques and curing methods that bring a wonderful depth and character to everything on the menu.
Signature favourites like the Yeni mantı — delicate dumplings served with a
rich double-fermented yoghurt sauce — are still very much the main event.
And the house açma breads, served warm with smoked butter, remain one of
the most talked-about dishes in Soho. But now, this beloved restaurant is expanding its offering with something very exciting upstairs…
Alongside the main restaurant, Yeni has introduced a bar food menu designed
for a more relaxed kind of visit if you haven’t booked in advance. The offering is smaller plates with bold, punchy flavours — spicy, tangy, and deeply
satisfying — all of which pair perfectly with the house cocktails.
From wood-fired flatbreads to paçanga — house cured beef pastırma and
cheese fritters, this menu offers an easy and flexible way to experience Yeni. But whatever you do, don’t leave without trying the Inegöl grilled beef köfte with truffle butter or the chicken a la plancha with pickles – these standout dishes are not to be missed. You can explore the tasting menu, dine à la carte, or mix things up with drinks and bar food upstairs. Either way, the team will guide you through the wine and cocktail list to find the perfect drinks pairing.
The new sharing table on the ground floor and the bar counter are intended to be an extension of the restaurant rather than its own entity, just a touch more casual. It’s the kind of setting that is simply made for enjoying a few sharing plates and cocktails with friends, whether you’re stopping by before dinner, settling in for the evening, or just seeing where your night in Soho takes you. Of course, the main restaurant also remains open six days a week (Mondays closed) so there’s something there for you, whether you’re planning ahead or deciding spontaneously.
