An authentic, no-frills Turkish Ocakbaşı serving up expertly seasoned, charcoal-grilled meats on Green Lanes.
Ordering Strategy
Stick strictly to the charcoal-grilled meats (shish, adana, liver) and avoid the vegetarian options. Order with friends and don't expect fancy Michelin-level plating.

Good to know
Historically cash-only, so bring notes or hit the nearby Tesco ATM. The decor is highly casual, making it better for a meal with friends than an early-stage romantic date.
