Vilenza Hotel in London

Avoid at all cost... we ordered from just eat fancied turkish food and came across adiva with lots of decent reviews so we went with this place.

Food arrived on time, but was luke warm, doner meal was very dry and was just chunks of rubbery tastless pieces of cubes of meat. It was all sunken in oil and was like refried?? Came with just a pita drenched in oil and pfc style salad... no sauces nothing turkish about it.. no napkins.. came in pfc yellow polystiren that wasnt even closed properly.

My husnand ordered adana kofte... this was defo no adana.. was tasteless.. dry... rice was like it was not cooked. The kofte was pink inside and burntish on the outside.. we called to let the manager know.. he just hung up and in the background u could hear bengali language.. thats when we realised on the phone that these guys are not even turkish but trying to run a turkish lebanese place? It was why there was nothing authentic or tasty about it.

I couldnt believe the service :( spent alot of money for just dinner for two.

The food arrived about 30 mins earlier than it was supposed to, which was a pleasant surprise, but it was all downhill from there. The kofte was dry and had no taste as well as being tough and very poor quality. The rice was the lowest quality microwaveable rice that was dry and tasteless, too. The salad was not your usual Turkish salad, and was again utterly tasteless. The lahmacun tasted nothing like lahmacun and was incredibly doughy, undercooked and thick (more like a dreadfully made Italian pizza than like a Turkish lahmacun). Two of the meals were exactly the same although named differently, and were nothing like how they were supposed to be. These people are almost definitely not Turkish because there is no way that the food would taste nothing like Turkish food if they were. Extremely disappointing, particularly as this was a celebration meal and most of the guests were Turkish! Embarrassing, tasteless, dreadful. I wish I read the Google reviews before I ordered!

Very very poor food they are not Turkish people who ever run this business's I can bet 100£ they are not from Turkish origin. The tast of food so bad bland who ever cocking no passion about food ribs are half cooked rice I can Cooke better Turkish rice at home lamachun inside only sauce now keema. Please spend 3-4£ extra order food from somewhere else especially who is Turkish. This people are cocking bland food simple salad little peace is tomato looks like some throw it in the container I mean common SHAME in you can you feed this food to your own kids.

Pro:

Meat was OK

Cons:
-Soggy bread in the Lamachun which tasted raw
-Chilli sauce very tangy
-Salad compares to what would be put in a chicken burger

I left a £2 tip for the deliver rider. I actually feel like he should pay me to eat this food. I'll never order again from Adiva. It was my first and last.

Very poor. Meat was poor quality and overcooked/dry. Halloumi was undercooked. Salad portion was tiny. Lamachun was doughy. Customer service was as difficult to swallow as their food.

Don't waste your money.

Not the best service but that is often the charm at this east London mad house. Stay away from curries and order mixed grills from the starter menu. Very popular with city cats during the week and groups wanting cheap food at the weekend. Decor is much to be desired but that doesn’t stop us going! Most people that eat here at either regulars or those who know what to expect; great food and rubbish service. The waiters seem to get ruder each time I visit - I would say that manners cost nothing but they seem to think they do! Either way, it's worth checking out - you'll quickly know whether its a place for you or not - if it's not, you'll laugh about it (after you've left that is). Oh, and it’s BOYB.
