# Liman Restaurant Description
Liman is a Turkish Mediterranean restaurant located in London's N1 postcode, run by husband-and-wife team Niyazi and Berivan. The restaurant specialises in historical Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, sourcing fresh ingredients daily and importing speciality items directly from Turkey, including pistachios from Antep, pomegranate molasses, sumac and dried rose petals.
The restaurant caters to diners seeking authentic Mediterranean cooking presented within an immersive cultural experience. Rather than a conventional eatery, Liman positions itself as a home away from home, where guests are welcomed as valued visitors and treated with genuine hospitality rooted in Turkish traditions.
What distinguishes Liman is its holistic approach to hospitality extending far beyond the plate. The dining experience encompasses carefully curated décor, fresh flowers, hand-made porcelain plates, artwork, and background music—creating what they describe as an "orchestra" that appeals to all senses. Following a 2018 rebrand, Niyazi elevated the kitchen output whilst Berivan orchestrated the dining room's warmth and attention to detail.
The restaurant operates on a philosophy encapsulated by their statement: "This is our home, and our customers are God's gift to us." This manifests in meticulous service standards and an environment that feels personal rather than transactional. Their lunch offer (£14.90 weekdays, 12:00-15:00) makes their cooking accessible, whilst the carefully constructed wine list complements the Mediterranean menu.
