What to order

Safe first

Lamb Chops

Described as 'excellent' and 'smoky, spicy and incredibly tender,' these are served with a generous plate of mixed salad.

Hungry

Tavuk Beyti

Minced chicken wrapped in lavash bread; critics call it 'killer' and it is a substantial, hearty option for hungry diners.

Wildcard

Lamb Sweetbreads

Repeatedly highlighted as 'sensational' and 'melt-in-your-mouth,' this dish is a standout that elevates the menu beyond standard grill fare.

Wildcard

Grilled Quail

A 'surprising' top menu tip from critics that distinguishes this Dalston institution from its many copycats.

Good to know

It is BYOB with no corkage fee. The room is very smoky from the huge grill and can be cramped; expect a queue as they don't always take bookings.
