    Awesome meal and it's great value. We had dish number 60 with Minced Lamb over Aubergine. Really tasty. Oh and Gilbert and George were there of course. Shame I didn't get to meet the tweeter!

    Great service. Love the minced lamb/ adana, mezes and houmus with doner. Other kebab options also tasty. Trimmed menu with the revamp, but at least as enjoyable as before; sometimes less is more..

    Incredible wine list. We started with the Beaujolis and then put ourselves in our server’s hands. No regrets.

    Gilbert & George come here for dinner every night. There is a rumour that they are here every day for the last 25 years. Right now they are again here.

    Hackney is the Queens of London - home to some of the city's best ethnic food. Mangal 2 is hard to beat for Turkish. Delicious food. Good prices. BYOB. Prepare for a true meat-sperience. Read more

    Can heartily recommend the Kaburga Tarak (spare ribs, but lamb) and defo get a side order of bulgar wheat. There's £3.95 corkage for wine, they do have a drinks list as well, but I just took beers.

    Uno de los mejores asadores turcos que he probado nunca. Curiosidad: los artistas ingleses Gilbert & George cenan aquí casi a diario en su empeño de hacer de su vida una constante performance.

    Mit Abstand der beste Türke in London, den ich bis jetzt getestet habe. Hochwertig und nicht verspielt. Ganz toll.
