I…read morewas passing and hungry and, having no better inspiration on places suitable for a non-meat eater nearby, developed a sudden craving for some hummus. I had a mixed meze to start with, which was beautifully presented and just a good size to quell my rumbling stomach; then decided on the swordfish with baby roast potatoes and garnish - a nicely-cooked piece of fish, although not terribly large, simply presented and tasty. I finished off with a slab of halva, which came on a wee chopping board, and of course a Turkish coffee; the latter item getting the prize for the best-presented dish of the evening. It came on a small platter with the cup inside an ornate metal container with lid, and a glass of lemon water and another small glass containing what appeared to be a small rose. Fantastic. The reason I'm only giving three stars is the service. Although things started well and the first two dishes arrived very promptly, the girl serving me seemed to forget about me after that and I waited a good 20 minutes before flagging another server to inquire about dessert. The place was pretty empty when I arrived - most people were sitting outside because of the hot evening - but that's no excuse. Another star comes off for the fug of smoke you have to endure when you walk through the outside tables, which seems to double as a shisha bar - another reason I opted for an inside table.

It was one of the best meals I've ever had, so it goes without saying that it was also the BEST Turkish cuisine I've ever tasted. The service was impeccable and the male host that evening gave us more bread (for FREE) when he saw we had a lot of dips left and no more mile high flat bread. I loved every minute I was there stuffing my face and enjoying the colorful, eccentrically light ambiance. A MUST try even if you need to take the tube for a couple of stops and change lines!!

Five Stars!

To be honest, I had come to Harringey Green Lanes because I wanted to try out the food at Gökyüzü,…read morebut when the line at this place was out the door, I consulted the Yelp App and it pointed me in the direction of Selale. I have to say, it was the review of Yinnie C. that made me come here; I trust her opinion and if she says that eating at Selale has made her rethink the idea of a kebab, then I should come here as well. And indeed, my dining experience at Selale was great. The place itself is not very special: it's pretty much a big room with loads of tables and mostly unoriginal design. In fact, I actually thought they were trying to hard...but what it was lacking in terms of design features, Selale made up in terms of food and service. I sat down and soon a waiter came by and asked me for my order. I easily get overwhelmed by the sheer choice of different items at Turkish restaurants and so I simply asked the waiter what he would recommend. In a very friendly manner, he then placed a hand on my shoulder and pointed me to the lamb shish. I asked him if I should go for the mixed shish (chicken and lamb), but he nudged me into ordering the pure lamb shish...and, boy, am I glad I did. It was delicious! Here at Selale, every main course comes with a mixed salad, topped of with a delicious pomegranate dressing. Also, they serve humus and tzatsiki (cacık) alongside oven fresh pita bread. At the end of the meal, they also offer you a free glas of tea (çay). When I was about to get up the waiter shook my hand and I left happy as a puppy...that's what I call a great experience!

It was the first time in my life I was charged extra for bread, and despite that, the portion was so small it wasn't enough for anyone. It's an expensive restaurant, yet the portions are too tiny and the flavors are strange. Honestly, I feel like my money was wasted. It felt like a rip-off. I wouldn't recommend it.

We ordered a starter that was a melted mozzarella with a nice savory dipping sauce. Next we ordered a very refreshing salad that had cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and a nice dressing. Then we finished our meal with a meat kabob dish which had probably some of the best tasting meats I've ever experienced. The chicken, lamb, and beef were so amazingly savory and perfectly seasoned and cooked. I have to say during our week in London, this was by far the best meal we had and we went to a few very nice and expensive restaurants including a Michelin star rated one. Definitely a place I highly recommend and will revisit the next time we go to London.
