A dessert shop in name that surprises with some of London's best savoury Turkish clay-pot dishes and wafer-thin lahmacun.
Ordering Strategy
Don't let the name fool you—come for a full savoury meal of clay-oven dishes and lahmacun, then finish with the milk baklava or kaymak.
What to order
Lahmacun
Critics note it is rolled so thin that the topping is visible from underneath, and it is served with fresh onions, ripe tomato slices, crunchy parsley, and lemon.
Kavurma and Eggs
A hearty dish of house-made potted beef cooked in a clay pot inside a stone-bottomed oven, accompanied by individual plates of fresh sides.
Kaymak and Honey
Described as a 'must' to finish the meal, it features proper buffalo cream and organic honey served with freshly baked bread.

Good to know
Alcohol-free environment focusing on artisan teas; spacious enough for groups despite looking like a bakery.
