Not entirely Turkish 22nd September 2008

Although billed as a Turkish restaurant on most sites, it’s also to all intents and purposes a greasy spoon café for AM patrons like myself. In fact it’s probably the only non-greasy greasy spoon I know off, in terms of both cooking and hygiene.

Breakfast options include posh Eggs Benedict and Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs, Croque Monsieur, simple cornflakes and many more. But I come here for the fry-ups, the cholesterol inducing Full English and a perfect cup of tea. Apart from the ubiquitous kebabs for a quick lunch takeaway try a Spinach and Feta Cheese Gözleme (Turkish hand rolled pastry) instead, it’s deliciously filling and cheap. Organic burgers and organic wines are feted at this place as well; credit is thus deserved for this practice alone.

Service is friendly and efficient from the waiting staff that has been recruited from the ‘United Colors of Benetton’ ideology. Great value comfort food in Notting Hill methinks.
