Fantastic turkish food!
Having been introduced to this place last year it has become one of my favourite restaurants. It's popularity and quality of food is proved by the fact that it is always busy, so be prepared to wait 10 minutes, at the most for seats during evenings.
From the outside it may look like your run of the mill place but it is very different to your bog standard kebab and burger place. It is an Ocakbasi (a turkish style grill) The food here is fantastic and freshly prepared; you can watch as they grill your meat, prepare your salad and dish onto your plate from your seats. The staff working are always very friendly and welcome you with smiles. The decor is very simple and the walls are adorned with photos of turkey and other cultural artifacts.
My reccommendation would be to get the mixed kebab which comes with rice, chicken shish, lamb shish, kofte and some doner if there's any left. This costs £9 but is so worth the money as it comes with salad, sometimes olives, a dish of chili sauce and a plate of cacik (yoghurt like dip) as well as a bowl of bread which is refilled at no extra cost. The lamacun's (turkish pizza) are also delicious and cheap, around £2? After your meal, you are given sweet turkish tea for free, which apparently aids the digestion of your meal.
Green lanes is full of turkish restaurants but I have never felt the need to discover them as this one fufils all my needs! Food, staff and people are great!
