Our verdict
There’s a distinct Turkish and Mediterranean influence on the menu of this lively little restaurant that’s a favourite of locals. Run by seasoned hospo pros who know all about simple, honest goodness in comforting, welcoming surroundings, your palate will be excited by the array and possibility of the flatbreads and gozleme. Go with a party of four and order in advance for the signature Kleftiko, a braised lamb leg with all the Turkish trimmings.
