Yeni is a polished, modern Turkish destination in Soho with standout dumplings, lamb, and vegetable dishes, but expect premium pricing, small portions, and a service style that has clearly frustrated some diners.
The verdict
Yeni delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout mantı, lamb, and bread courses that justify its premium positioning and strong reputation. The stylish Soho setting and polished special-occasion atmosphere elevate the experience, though inconsistent service execution and variable consistency across visits prevent grade A territory. Best suited for diners comfortable with creative modern Turkish cuisine and premium pricing.
One caveat: Some diners feel the portions are too small for the price, especially on mains and set menus.
What to order
- Yeni Mantı
- Lamb Cut of the Day

What diners say
- The signature mantı gets near-religious levels of affection from repeat diners.
- Guests love the sense of creative precision — beautiful presentation, layered flavours, and thoughtful pacing.
- The bread and starter courses often set an excellent tone right away.
