    "Choose from 13 types of kebab boldly seasoned with chilli, garlic and parsley - the minced lamb beyti kebabs are sensational, an explosive combination of heat, carbon and hot lamb juices..." Read more

    Such a fun place for dinner. We couldn't decide what to order so our server offered to combine several items so could try them all. The bread is amazing. Get the mezze platter to start.

    Meaatt! Get the mixed grill platter. Prepare for stomach to stretch from all the food though. Oh and BYOB which is always nice. No booking. Sometimes a bit hot/smokey - all part of the charm though.

    Loved the lamb sis, super juicy and tender! If you are in the area definitely worth a visit. The service is friendly and the place is very simple but clean and offers takeaway too!

    Maybe the best turkish restaurant in town. Cheap but with quality food. Dont go on a friday/saturday though as you get a lot of people. Try the lamb chops and the mezze platter.

    Worth trying if you look for a really good Turkish Kebab in London. I may recommend lokum or Adana. Fast service, good waiters.

    This place is just crazy! Bring a bottle of wine, row up in the que outside and if you're lucky you get a place near the grill to watch them work.

    Very good grilled meats! I recommend the diced lamb skewer and the Turkish pizza as a starter. The service is not the best.

    Great food and service - cash only though, which is a bit annoying when you're here for a full dinner! No corkage so you win some...

    Tasty kebabs. Buy beer from Brewdog over the road and drink in the restaurant. They don't have licence.
