A roaring, reliable Dalston institution serving home-style Turkish stews and charcoal-grilled meats until the early hours of the morning.
Ordering Strategy
Check the glass counter at the front for the daily selection of slow-cooked stews (suluyemek) if you want something instant, or order from the charcoal grill for fresh kebabs.
