No reservations. This is the best "Best Mangal" in London. It might have been a lucky night. That we were extremely famished. But no matter. I will hear no word against it. It's the best! We decided upon this place after a pool tournament at the nearby hurricane rooms. Having both been knocked out in the first round, it was quite a fortunate circumstance as we wouldn't have discovered this place otherwise! Upon entering the place was well lit and clean. It wasn't in the least bit smoky unlike some Mangal's that absolutely leave you smelling of charcoal. There were only two other tables taken so I thought it might have been a wrong move... Our orders taken, straight away we're brought the complimentary turkish bread and dips that all mangals normally serve. Quite often this bread is cold and chewy, or given with a nasty dip that smells a bit off. Not here. The bread was warm and super yummy, and a good portion of it too! I absolutely stuffed myself on this because the dips, of which I don't know the names, were so good! Remembering that we still had out mains to come, I stopped. But at this point I was around 50% full! Our mains come out and boy are the portions gigantic. Lots of meat, extremely fresh looking and tasting salad and your choice of fries or rice. With a thin pitta as the base. There was oil in the doner chicken, but not as much as you normally find. It was very tasty. The chilli sauce, wasn't that hot, but the flavours were full and a welcome addition to the slightly charred moist chicken. As we were about to ask for the bill, (note: Earlier to this I had heavily complimented the staff on how good the food was) they were exceptionally gracious in offering us some complimentary turkish tea and delights. That was a nice touch and perfect end to a perfect meal. I honestly felt like a guest in somebody's home, as all the staff from the cooks to the waiting staff were super nice and friendly. This is apparently a chain (same owners), with another in Shoreditch which I've visited. But it's nothing close in either food quality or staffing at this branch. So it's fair to say they only share the name (along with many dozens across London) Give this place a visit if you're around King's Cross Station and looking for a quick bite. For just over a tenner, you're sure to leave stuffed and more importantly happy. Now isn't that what life is about. read more

Located 5 mins walk from kings cross, this place has the best lamb donna with rice and salad. It has a nice pleasant vibe and perfect for a group of friends or if you are on your own.. Make sure you try their turkish tea - its made from real leaves. Overall this place is reasonable in price, huge portion and you won't be left hungry. The Resturant staff are friend. My food did take a little 15 mins to arrive but it's worth the wait :) I highly recommend this place and often come here for afternoon lunch when I need a big heart meal for reasonable price. Also they have a set menu for office workers during the week.. read more

Surprised that they're charging me 1.75 GBP for flat water! Toilet is a complete mess, floor is soaked and toilet smells bad. Food is filling, though really salty. They also gave a free dessert. read more

One star due to poor hygiene. I did not eat the food, but here is what I saw: The man behind the counter had a bad winter cough. He was coughing directly onto the kebab as he sliced it off. At a different point he wiped his nose and then immediately formed salad onto a plate with the palm of the same hand, hands still without gloves or being wiped off. I'd never eat here-- thankfully they gave my money back... read more

My favorite Turkish restaurant around. Fresh, delicious food and great service! Meal comes with a starter and ends with tea and a sweet bite. I'd recommend this place for lunch and dinner anytime you want a healthy, well-prepared meal for a reasonable price! read more

Best Mangal - Chicken Shish Kabob with rice and salad - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

Pretty good food for reasonable prices near the train station. Yay! Service is attentive and friendly here, food seems to be of good quality, and the food is hot and satisfying. Looks small from the outside, but there is a fair amount of seating in the back with a "sit down restaurant" feel. Get some tea to warm yourself on a cold winter day! read more

Best Mangal - From the back of the seating area - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

One of the few halal places in Kings Cross. Whilst the service and decor is good, the food is decent. The taste won't 'wow' you but it's defiantly worth trying their chilli sauce and dipping it into whatever you order. The presentations generally always nicely done. Often they give you some Turkish tea following your mean on the house which is s nice touch. read more

I've eaten twice here so far. The food and service are excellent and great quality. Chefs pride themselves on the food and you can taste that in the final product. The price is good and staff are cheerful. This place is one of the best kebab joins in the inner city area I know of and I'm only sad that I don't go there as often as I would like. read more

Very good. Coming from America we had never experienced this type of food before, and with the help of our waiter we selected two quite different yet delicious dishes. I had the Lamb Kebab and my wife had the Islam Kebab. Both were very different but equally tasty. We also had the hummus as a starter. Overall a well run establishment with a caring staff. We definitely recommend. read more

Unexpected, but oh so good. Looks like a fastfood place on the outside, but has some tables in the back. Very good food and very good service. Will go again if I'm in the neighbourhood. read more

Waitress got several orders wrong, tried to take away plates when they had food on them and constantly tried to hurry us up. The humus was so bland it had no taste falafel was poor, and while the bread was very nice it did not make up for the terrible meal. Also it is way over priced read more

Don't sit down here for a meal. The service was awful and the food average. Brought our mains before finishing or starters and staff were just rude, trying to pressure you into ordering things. read more

When it comes to takeaway, don't be modest and go for the £6 medium kebab portion. For an extra £ you get two skewers-worth instead of one, and then a generous heaping of rice, iceberg-tomato-cucumber salad, couple of banana peppers, white onions and a huge piece of flatbread wrapped separately in paper so it stays mostly crisp on your journey home. AND tea to sip on while you wait. In the end it adds up to two meals worth of food. Totally worth it. read more

I have lunched here quite a few times now and the stew is very good value for money and tasty too although cheap meat is used. Recommended.

First of all, highly frustrating as the address on yelp is wrong. It's actually around the corner at 323. Totally frustrated when we navigated all around and turned up at a cafe that looked nothing like the photos and was closed. Ordered a wrap thing with the lamb, some veggies inside, and some sauces. Completely underwhelming. It was bland, the meat was tough, and just quite honestly awful. We did go in close to midnight, so maybe all the ingredients had been sitting out all day and weren't fresh, regardless, we were very disappointed that we didn't have a better experience given all the rave reviews. Also note, by the time we showed up, all the back seating was closed, and you could only do take away. read more

The food was good, but the service was very weird. Our server had a very strange sense of humor and was really begging for a tip. He held my girlfriend's hand for an uncomfortable amount of time. read more

Horrible food, and rude staff. I ordered some meat and salad explicitly asking not to get any onion inside. The waiter made some jokes about that and ensured that it would have never happened and that he was precise despite the fact that he wasn't taking notes. Food arrived with an onion in the middle of the plate. I asked the waiter if it was a joke and he removed the onion with his own hands in front of my incredulous eyes. Therefore I mentioned that I intended to leave without having dinner. Both the manager and the waiter threatened me saying and told me that I had to pay for the food they made wrong. This is just absurd and unbelievable and the owner should fire these people. read more

Clean, fast, delicious, and cheap. I got the lunch special with Adana and Chicken kebab, which comes with fresh salad and your choice of rice or crisps (went with the rice - which turned out to be great). I ordered a hot Turkish tea (which is authentic) and a sparkling water. They give you bread and some cacik when you first get in. And at the end, they gave me a little more tea and a small piece of baklava on the house. For all of that, I came out to £10.25. And it was really tasty. The servers were really nice and quick. They have free wifi too. It's great here. Definitely would recommend coming here. read more

The food, service, tea are really amazing and it is very close to King cross station.

I stumbled upon this place late at night when I assumed I was out of nearby options to eat. I was more than impressed! Great atmosphere, great food, AMAZING service. I highly highly recommend this place. read more

Phenomenal value! We had the special mixed plate and chicken shish plate. Both provided tons of meat, rice and salad. Chili and garlic sauce add a good amount of flavor to kebabs that are cooked fresh right in front of you. They even gave us Turkish tea while we waited for our carry-out! Would definitely go again if we lived in London. read more

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life! Due to poor scheduling on my part I ended up missing a flight due to eating here, but in no way do I regret it! It was absolutely incredible! read more

Exceptional service - never been offered tea while I'm waiting anywhere. Typical Turkish hospitality! The food is excellent too. Good job guys. read more
