The name of this popular local is derived from the Turkish for jug, but marinated lamb’s testicles are on the menu, along with much ocakba€ı-grilled offal. The walls are painted a moody orange and decorated with a mix of European and Middle Eastern trinkets. The mixed meze starter was superb, featuring enormous chunks of grilled halloumi, fresh-tasting dolma and rich, creamy houmous, plus a basket of warm bread to mop it up. All of which was a meal in itself, and perhaps should have been: köfte kebab was dry and over-seasoned. But we enjoyed the trinity of side dishes: tomato and onion salad, a fierce onion and chilli concoction and, best of all, chargrilled onions in pomegranate juice.

The best Turkish/Kurdish Restaurant in East London. Grilled onions in pomegranate juice really is the best thing on the menu and they are free! Hipster with no taste buds can keep their Mangal.

Expensive, salads looked like they were made a few days ago, kebabs were over cooked, good and friendly service but it never makes up for bad food. Go to Mangal instead.

You should try the İskender kebab, if the köfte was a bit dry, not that I've ever had a dry köfte there!
