Diamond among gemsIn a forest of Turkish Ocakbasi (barbecue restaurants) which Green Lanes is famous for, this one stands out. Whole fish displayed in the window looks so fresh it's about to swim away, lamb kebabs are carefully tended by the chef in his chair-on-wheels by the grill, salads are freshly cut to order and meze are bright and individual. And it's open 24 hours.]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:25:13 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1a53886/bingol-restaurant121987655 CeliaBrookBrown turkish family & home feel cheap eat 51.581727598574 -0.10060133471946 Centre Point Sushi Cafe http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o42p8p/centre-point-sushi-cafe

Secret SushiIt's so easy to miss, but the cache of this little gem, located above a small Korean grocery behind Centrepoint, is romantic, and a usually full house of Japanese diners reflects its authenticity. Beg the eager young waiting staff for a booth by the window and you'll enjoy a smashing urban view while you feast. Daily specials such as steamed seabass (£12) are on the board next to the open-plan kitchen, where highly skilled chefs work their magic with immaculately fresh sushi and home-style dishes alike. Anyone who hasn't discovered the merits of tofu should try the Agedashi tofu (£6)--a cloud of creamy curd in the lightest batter, blanketed in a faintly sweet miso sauce. Even customary edamame and miso soup are elevated to a new level, demonstrating superlative freshness of ingredients. Tea, beer and perfect blood-temperature sake complete a genuine, unpretentious picture. A well-kept secret, worth keeping. And pick up a few goodies from the downstairs grocery on your way out!
