Restaurant Manager

Leydi is a Modern Turkish restaurant bringing the all-day food culture of Istanbul to London from breakfast until late with expertly-prepared mangal meat & fish, heritage grain wood-fired breads, low intervention wines and a sophisticated and fun ambience.

Leydi brings the legendary flavours of Istanbul to central London. Where guests once had to travel to the wider districts of the capital to search for the authentic Turkish flavours. Unique to the area, Leydi brings these modern flavours in a light, bright and contemporary Central London setting.

Leydi has a bustling dining room filled with laughter, distant clattering pans, complete with dinners that turn into dancing with punchy cocktails, magnums of wine and an East meets West soundtrack.

Leydi is part of Hyde London City, marking the rebirth of a London icon. This lavish seven-storey, 111-room property at 15 Old Bailey draws upon a rich and storied past to create a luxurious, bespoke hideaway in the heart of the city. Hyde London City will be a destination unto itself, hosting unmatched experiences for locals and ultimately the discerning global traveller.
