Turkish restaurants in London

  1. A

    Gallipoli

    This popular Turkish restaurant crams its fans in both here and at nearby Gallipoli Again, the overspill premises. The draw here is decent Turkish dishes at low prices (by Islington standards, at least). The menu runs from a great selection of meze to a large range of kebabs.

    Tas

    This is an established chain of very good Turkish restaurants with a roll call of stews and grills that will never disappoint loyal customers. There are eight outlets all together, spread out all over London, including a Waterloo branch. However, our favourite is easily Tas Pide, which specialises in pide (Turkish ‘pizza’, for lack of a better word) and is excellently located opposite Shakespeare’s Globe in Bankside.

    Tas Ev

    The Tas Turkish restaurant chain has branches all over the South Bank, but Tas Ev is far and away the best. Set under the railway arches in a Mediterranean pot plant-filled courtyard, it’s part deli, part bar and part restaurant.

    Tas Firin

    The ‘Stone Oven’ is just about as authentic a Turkish grill restaurant as you’ll find in this neighbourhood.

    Mangal Ocakbasi

    Mangal is the quintessential Turkish ocakbas i (open-hooded grill) restaurant: cramped and smoky and serving superb meze, grilled lamb chops, quail and lahmacun (Turkish ‘pizza’ topped with minced meat, onions and peppers). It’s been here for almost 20 years and is always busy in the evenings. Takeaway is also available if you can’t get a table.
