Chunks of meal cooked over an open charcoal fire, soft yet flakey breads, and some really good chilli sause, the Best Mangal was worth the 20 minutes on the District Line to visit it. I had a bog standard shish, and it was tops.

Nice to be able to sit in too, rather than the standard collect and run kebab places. This feels more like a restaraunt that a fueling stop for drunken boys. 2 kebabs and a beer, less that 20 quid.]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:28:00 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1f59o8242677142 coldclimate 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1e59o8

Sorry this place is not very good.

If you want a "best" Mangal head for Stoke Newington where the local Turkish community keeps restaurateurs on their toes.

Very disappointing !]]> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:31:51 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1e59o81218214038 gastro1 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1b7948

Totally unpretentious place that focuses on the taste of the food. You don't need chillie sauce on the kebabs they do here; the taste is divine and the thougthful touches like the barbecued chillie and tomato that is done whilst the meat is cooking is a perfectly good accompaniment (along with the mount of salad and fresh bread). I would recommend that if there are a group of you going (e.g. family of four or friends etc.) then ask the waiter to serve all the salads in one plate, meats in another and breads in another etc. that way you can sample everything and you get more salad and it's just how eating was meant to be. I recommend the "adman kofte", house doner and chicken-breast skewers for a good assortment for 3 people. The cold meze are good too. This has to be probably the best kebab shop in London!]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:50:57 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1b79481846066206 route79 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1449y8

I was introduced to Best Mangal a few weeks ago and have managed to stop in there on the way home at least once a week for the mandatory kebab since then.

The lamb and chicken shish kebabs are fantastic - fresh, well cooked ingredients and huge portions. Very clean premises and friendly staff.

I haven't actually dined there but have only heard good things.]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 21:29:39 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1179v81919001880 jezirwin 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1w98b8

Iâ¬"ve just recently moved into the neighbourhood, and I have to say that best mangal is the only good thing going down in West Kensington.

Itâ¬"s hands down the best kebab/grill place Iâ¬"ve been to in London. The place isnâ¬"t much to look at, seating is a little tight and the waiters a little to flirty... When Iâ¬"m eating kebab, I almost always stay away from chicken, time and time again it comes out dry and bland. The chicken kebabs at Best Mangal are moist, well marinated and flavourful.

All of their meat is well marinated; and grilled in front of you. You canâ¬"t really go wrong with the Mixed Grill, or the Special House Doner.
Well worth the trip... if you going on the weekend book ahead or be prepared to wait.

I live just round the corner from this place and as such count myself extremely lucky. Whether taking out or eating in it's absolutely tremendous, with amazing food freshly cooked in front of you on the open barbeque pit. Very highly recommended indeed, sober or otherwise. ]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2007 12:08:22 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1o13s81467200756 DanWilkinson 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1p3179

As kebabs go this has got to be one of the best round. No jazz to offer like the Marathon on Chalk farm, but some dam good shish and lamb shawarma.

I agree with CaffeineHit and all the others. I live just 1 minute up the road and I find it hard to walk by that place without being dragged in by its sweet smell. I am a very big Kebab fan, namely of the lebanese Shawerma variety however, I have to admit that these ones score VERY high, specially the Lamb Shish Kebab. Simply scrumptious. Buraco, I have never been offered tea but will be sure to ask for it next time I go. I guess he only bad thing about Best Mangal is that it closes at 1am.]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2006 10:25:52 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1n30881499957601 Ladis19 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1k70m8

There's nothing better than getting back to West Ken at 1am with the munchies knowing that you've got Best Mangal pretty much opposite your house.

The kebabs in this place is amazing, every time they taste just as good. Find yourself in this neck of the woods I'd make the journey and see what all the fuss is about, it's amazing!]]> Thu, 09 Nov 2006 17:51:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1k70m8309897924 caffeinehit 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1290b8

Best Mangal honestly has the best chicken kebabs in all of London. I lived next to this place on North End Road for 3 years, and was a frequent and loyal customer to this place. The restaurant decor is not much to write home about, but the service is friendly and the kebabs are just so succulent and juicy that it almost beggars belief. Cooked over charcoal, the flavours really make your mouth water, especially with an ice-cold beer.]]> Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:23:06 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1290b81436486473 NikoTheFinn 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/155068

This is another unpretentious and heavenly kebab sanctuary. It was my local, refined kebab counter/restaurant when I was a student living in the area, many years ago. The kebabs are fresh and delicious and served, not in the usual pitta bread but in thin "roll-bread" with yummy sauces. An equal-match alternative to "Bosphorus" in South Kensington. Another Turkish mini-delight!]]> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 01:04:19 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1550681270825314 Formaggio_Amore 51.488975411272 -0.20673220286493 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1n72d8/best-mangal/1440p8
