  Had my first ever Pidé here and have not looked back. This place is friendly, cheap and great fun.

  An oasis in a food desert

  Current

  That's 'desert', not 'dessert', by the way.
  
  Easily the best place for a decent meal in the New Cross / Lewisham area.
  
  Try to avoid the tables right by the grill and oven - things get a little warm. For that reason it's always worth booking, even midweek, because it seems to be busy every night.
  
  The wine list is (almost?) exclusively Turkish. Had a stinker of a bottle at the lower end once, but the upper end (only 12-16 anyway) is perfectly pleasant and quaffable.

  Decent Turkish local

  Current

  You wouldn't make a special trip to this little Turkish Caff on a fairly barren stretch of Lewisham Way, but if you ever find yourself down in SE13 and in need of a slap-up meal, Meze Mangal is definitely the place to go.
  
  The food is excellent and really cheap, with mezzes around 3 quid, main courses at 8-9 and delicious pides (Turkish pizza-type things) around 6 quid. As a result the place seems permanently packed with appreciative locals. They're really friendly in there, too. The decor is warm and cosy, complete with open kitchen and wood fired oven in the middle. It's also a little bit retro, or maybe that's the Eastern European feel - it actually reminded us of the typical restaurants we saw on a trip to rural Albania last year. (Except there are no animal skins, you'll be pleased to know).
