  • Locals come here for hearty staples at bargain prices, choosing from a changing selection of dishes scrawled above the counter. The dips were pleasant enough, if slightly bland, while translucent leaves of flavour-packed pickled cabbage were the highlight of the accompanying salad. Manti (traditional Turkish dumplings) were disappointing, the meat filling overwhelmed by a sea of garlic yoghurt and too much dough. A dish of mevsim kizartma fried aubergine, mushrooms, tomatoes, potato and courgette was also below par, with chunks of potato tasting disconcertingly like damp and ancient chips. This is more of a quick in-and-out daytime joint than an evening venue, given the bright overhead spotlights, metal chairs and sparse decor.

    The potatoes have been stewing for hours, they've soaked up all the flavours. The lamb is old and delicious, more like mutton, the staff are the friendliest and most rofling staff, the portions are mega, all in all it's a complete winner.
