When we first moved to London, my husband was lured here by the promise of "best lamb in London"…read more He believes it and brings our friends, and they become believers too. The owner is a very sweet and happy man who loves shaking hands and holding doors open. He's seen my partner so many times, he now hugs him when we leave. There is a large selection of vegetarian & vegan & veganizable meze and a small selection of mains. I usually go for the "fiesta" as it is the most food for money and I can swap the halloumi for roasted veggies, no problem. So much food, so much deliciousness. But be careful everyone! The most amazing freshly baked Turkish bread is placed in front of you before the meal, along with a spicy tomato dip and olives. It's so good, it's hard to stop, and then there is no room left in your tummy for the feast of your main! Also, for drinks- the house red is quite tasty for the cheapest option. Every time someone is visiting us from out of town and we want a nice meal, we bring them here. We've brought everyone from California to Japan here and always celebrate hubby's birthday here as well. I hope you will treat your friends!

I've been a fan of the E. Mono döner/kebab shop in Kentish Town for quite some time now and so I…read morewas very happy to see that they had opened another shop in Finsbury Park...especially at a time when I was overly peckish, but didn't have time to sit down for a lengthy meal. When I walked inside I was welcomed with a warm smile by the guy behind the counter and I felt instantly that this would be good. I ordered the small lamb shawarma with some extra chilli sauce - me like it spicy and juicy ;-) What I like about E. Mono is that while this is a fast-food place, it's clean, people are friendly and the food is of high quality...plus the taste is superior to other döner shops. Furthermore, I like that they serve their döner as a wrap and not in a pita bread; that just makes the whole thing more manageable and appetizing to me. My döner was ready and wrapped up in no time and so I was on my way again...fed, happy and on-time for my next appointment.

Holy wow! I got so lucky when my buddy and I popped into this place for lunch last week…read more We were going on the Emirates Stadium tour in an hour and needed a bite before then. Our options were pretty limited, but Yildiz was open and we decided to give it a shot. Neither of us was at all disappointed. I had the chicken kebabs while my buddy went with minced lamb. Both came with rice, bread, salad, onions, and all sorts of goodness. They grill the meats over charcoal right in the front of the store, so you know it's being done fresh. My friend let me try his lamb too, and it definitely had some spice to it, but was very delicious. The service was pretty quick, though we were the only ones there at the time. You just have to be patient while they grill your meats. And price wise it was very reasonable for lunch. All in all, this was one of the best meals we had in London. If I'm ever heading back to the neighborhood (which would almost certainly be for an Arsenal match), I'll be sure to stop in again.

Yildiz is by no means the only Anatolian Restaurant in the Stokey / Finsbury / Highbury triangle…read morebut I think it might be the best all-rounder. Combines good value, efficient service, varied cuts of fresh meats (Haven't tried the (ram's?) testes yet!) Service is always friendly bordering on jovial/cheeky. Fairly ordinary in terms of decor and atmosphere, but good for honest unpretentious eats and a great takeaway number, just give them 15min, one mains order and a side can easily feed two. The best dishes all pass over a seemingly eternal charcoal fire. Deffinately have the lamb ribs, they pack flavour. Get a skewer of kidney and onion to go with. mmm. If you have an intestinal worm that needs to be fed, have the impossibly heavy Iskender Kebab.

After a day of talking on the phone nonstop, I just wanted to escape the house and get some good…read morefood. I had walked by this little place many times and always wondered if it were any good...well today was the day to give it actually a try...and boy am I glad I did!!! The Today's special sign on the street had actually lured me in: Vegetable Moussaka. I figured, since I make the best meat moussaka in the whole wide world, I might as well get inspired by some vegetable moussaka...and boy did I get inspired!!! There were only a few other customers in the restaurant and I thus had the waiter's full attention. In fact, the service that I received here was so attentive and so friendly that even a high-end restaurant could learn from them: the waiter changed the cutlery, refilled my water, served the plate facing the right way, offered condiments...etc. But I am digressing...anyway, I ordered the Tabbouleh Salad as a starter and that was already pretty awesome. I mean, it's a rather standard dish, yet the ingredients were well balanced: it had a nice zest to it and the pita bread that was served with it was smooth and delicious. Then I got my moussaka...and believe me I prayed for it to be as good as the previous experience...and boy did my prayers work! Seriously, the moussaka was the best I've ever had (aside from my meat moussaka, of course). The eggplant was melting on my tongue and the bechamel/cheese sauce was heavenly as well. The waiter offered my some chilli-sauce on the side, which I happily stirred into my rice - and I had yet to experience yet another culinary climax! Well, sitting there all by myself, I had also the leisure of watching the waiter prepare a couple of coffee drinks. And I was positively surprised has how well he prepared the Latte Macchiato...very carefully did he first pour steamed hot milk, topped it off with some foam and only then did he actually - very carefully - pour the espresso into the glass; the end-result was a perfectly three-tiered Latte - the way it is supposed to be served if I were to rule the world. (Only the straw was missing!) Alright, enough said...but just to reemphasise how much I liked this restaurant: my throbbing headache, which I suffered from upon entering the establishment, had vanished by the time the check came...a mere £10.90! ...boy am I glad I came here!!!

Like many things in life ( for example; exam results, birthday presents, the contents of a sharks…read morestomach) Turkish food can either be really really good, or really really bad. There is always that element of risk, seemingly more so the further away you go from Dalston. It's always a lovely surprise therefore when you find a really high quality and innovative Turkish menu in the depths of North London. The Adana wrap is delicious. Sometimes pita bread is too much! A lighter surrounding makes the whole thing more moreish. I could literally eat about five. The service is friendly and warm, and there is a good range of specials at reasonable prices. The decor isn't too bad either. Although still not up to some of the legendary Dalston Turkish grills, this is still a surpisingly good restaurant in a surprising location. Do not underestimate the power of the Adana wrap.

We noticed there was no food hygiene rating displayed, which immediately raised a red flag. When we asked about it, the staff said they "didn't know"--even after we pointed out that it's a legal requirement. We looked it up ourselves and found they currently have a Food Hygiene Rating of 1 (as of February 2025). The fact that this wasn't disclosed--and that they wouldn't admit it even when asked--is incredibly concerning. Transparency matters when it comes to food safety. Would recommend caution until they address this properly.

We then shared another bargain from the menu, the Mixed Kebab - a selection of chicken shish, lamb shish, adana kebab, lamb spare ribs, chicken wings, chicken doner and lamb doner, served with a generous basket of bread, rice and salad for just £12.50. The Mixed Kebab was delicious - full of perfectly cooked meats grilled over the coals in the open kitchen. It's plenty of food for two to share as main. I don't know what the occasion was, maybe she just liked us but our lovely waitress then treated us to a rich, home-made rice pudding each on the house.

(Comentario en español al final)…read more I'll write this review in two languages for more people to understand what I'm saying so if you keep reading you'll find a Spanish review on the botton ;) As the name suggests, this is the best kebab you can find in the city! The opened very recently and even if the prices are a bit more expensive than the old kebab that was there the amount of food on each plate is bigger as well. Chicken kebab taste is amazing + the meat doesn't look like the rest of the places, it looks like they have freshly-prepared meat and you can notice it on the amazing flavor that the chicken has! You can ask for a roll or on a plate, my suggestion is to take it on a plate since they include an gorgeous homemade bread with it! Careful if you want to order your kebab with chips... the plate is so big that you will explote if you ended up eating everything! ;) They also cook an amazing chicken wings on charcoal grill, yummmm! If you are a kebab lover this is your place! --- Como su nombre indica, ¡este es el mejor kebab que he comido en la ciudad! Lo acaban de abrir y en comparación al otro kebab que había antes los precios son ligeramente más caros, pero las porciones son más grandes, ¡y el sabor que ofrecen es inigualable! Yo ya he ido en varias ocasiones desde que lo han abierto. Como soy una enamorada de los kebabs de pollo aún no he probado el de cordero, pero ambos parecen estar hechos en casa y ser verdaderamente verdaderos, es decir, que la carne se ve que no viene en bloques como en el resto de los demás kebabs. Hablaré pues del kebab de pollo, que está súper jugoso. Puedes pedirlo enrollado o que te lo pongan en un plato. Yo prefiero en plato, porque te lo acompañan con un pan artesanal que está de muerte! Cuidadín si eres de los que pide kebab con patatas porque una ración de este local hará que estalles si además lo acompañas con patatas! Otra cosa a tener en cuenta, en el menú también tienen pinchitos "morunos" y alitas de pollo que hacen a la parrilla de carbón que tienen una pinta estupenda. Si eres un amante de los kebabs te aconsejaría que fueras y probaras lo que pueden ofrecerte en este local del norte de Londres, que además está bien situado ya que está justamente al lado de la estación de Seven Sisters ;)
