After passing this place many times (usually when I wasn't hungry) and reading all the glowing…read morereviews I finally got the chance to try this place. The interior is very nice and as I had arrived just after noon I had my choice of tables. I sat by the window for a nice view out onto the street. While I was waiting for my meal I was served a bowl of warm flatbreads (apparently made in-house) and a little bowl of olives. The main course I opted for was adana kofte served with rice and salad. The lamb was cooked on skewers which are then removed before serving leaving two perfect pooh-shaped sausages on the plate. And very tasty it was too despite the slightly off-putting appearance. The salad was very nice and a generous portion too. I just about managed to finish my meal (washed down with a glass of tango) despite the flatbreads almost having filled me up. The bill arrived along with a small, but greatly appreciated, cube of turkish delight. Service and ambiance was excellent, I look forward to returning and trying something a little less pooh-shaped.

Finally visited this Turkish/Med restaurant after passing it by quite a few times. Upon entering my…read moregirlfriend and I were amazed by the decor, it is much more contemporary styled compared to other Turkish restaurants I have visited. I would say it is more of a smart casual affair than I was expecting. The food prices are still competitive and what you expect from this cuisine with most grilled meats and fish coming in just north of £10. Starters sit around the £5 mark. I ordered the simple lamb shish, my girlfriend the iskinder kebab (lamb baked in a tagine with yoghurt). For starters we shared hummus and fried white bait. The white bait was excellent with a real fresh zing, the hummus lovely and rich with the free bread and olives served with your meal. The lamb was delicious in both the mains and they were very generous portions - we had to ask for a doggy bag to take home. If I was to be very picky, I would have preferred the pitta bread to be a little less 'toasty'. I like the warmed breads from Turkish restaurants which have been grilled with the fat of the meats! We didn't need a reservation for a Saturday night when we arrived before 8pm. Though it was very full all evening. I would definitely return.

Fantastic new place opened up on the site of the old Delhi Heights restaurant…read more We went there last Friday and were amazed with how good it was. We used to live in North London where Green Lanes is the place to be if you want good Turkish food. Not so any more. They've kept the decor of Delhi Heights, a mixture of eastern european nightclub and bollywood bling. The men's loo's are incredible with a changing lightshow. Strangely, this only adds to the atmosphere and charm of Istanbul Meze Mangal. Starting with a mixed hot and cold starters was a masterstroke and everything was incredible. Particular mention must be made to the tomato and cous cous dip of which I cannot remember the name. We ate Iskender, Kuju Beyti and my favourite Yoghurtlu for mains. Brilliant dishes all. The only critique I can give to the fabulously cooked meats was the lack of Iskender sauce on my yoghurtli kebab which I typically expect. Not to worry though, because at the mention of this I was very quickly supplied with a little pot of sauce which completed the dish perfectly. I live down the road and will definitely be back on a regular basis to this place. Fantastically friendly staff (who kept the phone I left for me the next day) really made our night fun.
