Finally! A Turkish restaurant on par with my beloved Durum (Finchley Central)!…read more
This used to be a big, bland Italian restaurant. Their food was absolute pants and their service wasn't much better. Enter Sheesh Mangal, new kid on the block - on a recent trip to Worcester Park my fella and I made a beeline here for dinner to takeaway.
I had my favourite lamb shish which you can have in a box with salad and rice or bulgar wheat, or in a wrap with salad (and lots of chilli sauce if you like it hot like me!), we also had grilled hallumi, some little kofte balls, an aubergine dip, mucver and Turkish pizza bread.
I had it in a box so the succulent cubes of lamb came on a bed of warm bulgar wheat and the salad box was bursting with fresh lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, green pickled chillies, sliced gherkins and other yummy salad-y bits.
It was such a delicious dinner that a couple of days later, while running late for a party, I sent my boyfriend off to get us both a wrap to eat quickly before we left. The wrap was, in my opinion, even better than the boxed option and was dripping with lamb juices and chilli sauce - you simply cannot look refined eating it but who cares, it's sex on a plate (or in a wrap in this case!)
A definite star of Worcester Park High Street!
