After a day of talking on the phone nonstop, I just wanted to escape the house and get some good…read morefood. I had walked by this little place many times and always wondered if it were any good...well today was the day to give it actually a try...and boy am I glad I did!!! The Today's special sign on the street had actually lured me in: Vegetable Moussaka. I figured, since I make the best meat moussaka in the whole wide world, I might as well get inspired by some vegetable moussaka...and boy did I get inspired!!! There were only a few other customers in the restaurant and I thus had the waiter's full attention. In fact, the service that I received here was so attentive and so friendly that even a high-end restaurant could learn from them: the waiter changed the cutlery, refilled my water, served the plate facing the right way, offered condiments...etc. But I am digressing...anyway, I ordered the Tabbouleh Salad as a starter and that was already pretty awesome. I mean, it's a rather standard dish, yet the ingredients were well balanced: it had a nice zest to it and the pita bread that was served with it was smooth and delicious. Then I got my moussaka...and believe me I prayed for it to be as good as the previous experience...and boy did my prayers work! Seriously, the moussaka was the best I've ever had (aside from my meat moussaka, of course). The eggplant was melting on my tongue and the bechamel/cheese sauce was heavenly as well. The waiter offered my some chilli-sauce on the side, which I happily stirred into my rice - and I had yet to experience yet another culinary climax! Well, sitting there all by myself, I had also the leisure of watching the waiter prepare a couple of coffee drinks. And I was positively surprised has how well he prepared the Latte Macchiato...very carefully did he first pour steamed hot milk, topped it off with some foam and only then did he actually - very carefully - pour the espresso into the glass; the end-result was a perfectly three-tiered Latte - the way it is supposed to be served if I were to rule the world. (Only the straw was missing!) Alright, enough said...but just to reemphasise how much I liked this restaurant: my throbbing headache, which I suffered from upon entering the establishment, had vanished by the time the check came...a mere £10.90! ...boy am I glad I came here!!!

Like many things in life ( for example; exam results, birthday presents, the contents of a sharks…read morestomach) Turkish food can either be really really good, or really really bad. There is always that element of risk, seemingly more so the further away you go from Dalston. It's always a lovely surprise therefore when you find a really high quality and innovative Turkish menu in the depths of North London. The Adana wrap is delicious. Sometimes pita bread is too much! A lighter surrounding makes the whole thing more moreish. I could literally eat about five. The service is friendly and warm, and there is a good range of specials at reasonable prices. The decor isn't too bad either. Although still not up to some of the legendary Dalston Turkish grills, this is still a surpisingly good restaurant in a surprising location. Do not underestimate the power of the Adana wrap.

But let me tell you...this is SO much more than just another kebab shop! I wish I could tell you what we ordered, but I can't. Mine was a stewed lamb atop hot bits of pita and slathered in their house sauce (like sour cream.) Oh good lawd IT WAS SO GOOD! Also equally delish was the hummus and pita. Service was super, food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and visit! I wish we were locals so we could eat our way through the entire menu. P.S. They do Uber Eats/new delivery if that's more convenient for you!

OMG! So much food…read more Between the 2 of us, we ordered 1 main course (iskander kebab) and 3 starters (sausages, imam bayildi - stuffed aubergine and falafel). The food was all super tasty, but we had so much leftover! Both of us had skipped lunch and were having early dinner, but we barely put a dent on the amount of food that arrived. As soon as we ordered, we were brought Turkish style bread lovingly buttered and 4 different dips (hummus, minty yoghurt, cheese and a tomato one). This itself would have been a sufficient meal for us both. The falafel came settled on a bowl of hummus. The side salad with the main arrived in a plate of its own. Service was very fast and the lady serving us was lovely as were the line of chefs we passed by on our way in and out. When you peep through he window, it looks like a tiny kebab place, but they have really comfortable seating at the back. Some of the other places we wanted to eat at in Camden on a Friday night were completely full, so we entered this place on a whim, but left completely dated and satisfied.

The staff are very friendly and quick to help. You start off with an assortment of breads and sauces which they will keep replacing for free. I would suggest ordering the hummus to begin as it's amazing (plus, you have all that bread to dip into it!). Next, you move onto the main. You just can't go wrong! My personal favourite is the yogurtlu sis. Creamy, tomato and meat. Nom, nom! And we usually order the Efes beer, which goes perfectly with the food. This is such a fabulous neighbourhood find, where you become part of the family. It's so popular, that even Mesut Ozil was there one evening. And yet, it's not expensive at all. All in all, this is the restaurant you want to come to time and time again.

This venue is okay, but not in the same league as some of the places we have frequented in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Perhaps it is unreasonable to think that it would be. We ordered a selection of mezzes, which were pretty good. The dessert that my wife ordered, kanafeh, was the best selection of the evening. I also had a glass of wine, while she drank tea. I would certainly come back here for the food selection, but not at dinner time. The main issue we had was the tardy service. The restaurant seemed understaffed in the kitchen, which is visible from the eating area. We were told there was only one chef that night for a busy enterprise. In those circumstances, the waiters need to come by now and then anyhow to let patrons know what is happening. Everyone was pleasant, but not enough staff were on deck. Price is median. We walked from our nearby apartment rental. Street parking might be a challenge, but there is a tube entrance a block away.

So, when our dinner plans fell through one night we decided to wander over to the station and find it. It turns out there are several kebab shops...so we tried this one as it looked the most authentic and least greasy. My boyfriend and I tried the lamb and chicken shish kebabs, which come wrapped in gooorgeous soft Turkish bread. I can't remember or pronounce any of the names of the dishes, but my brother's girlfriend tried the lamb and aubergine dish, which looked lovely (and came with a huge pile of rice, bread and salad!) My little bro' wanted the döner kebab, and he said it was the best he had tried for ages. I had a peek at the main menu...and am now really keen to come back, as long as I can work out how to pronounce things! *They had some naturally gluten free and vegetarian options as well.

Kusadasi may be overlooked as a standard kebab shop at first, but it is far far more, boasting a huge menu filled with delicious food.

They are known for their open fire charcoal grill, and perhaps it's a bit unfair that I didn't have something from the grill, but here are my two cents on the mezze, etc. We started with the mixed mezze plate, which comes with 2 dolmas, hummus, tomato/eggplant spread, tomatoey tabbouleh, taramasala (sp?), 3 types of yogurts (spinach, tzaziki, and another), and tomato-stewed white beans. The hummus and various yogurt dips were outstanding--excellent flavors and textures. The beans and tomato tabbouleh were quite nice as well. For din my companion went for the grilled quail, which comes with 2 quail, roasted tomatoes and chili peppers, and a nicely sized salad w/ grated carrots and beets. I didn't sample, but he cleaned all bones that were to be cleaned, so suffice it to say, he ate well. I ordered more mezze for din b/c we had had a heavier lunch (dim sum and then an orgiastic chocolate feast at hampstead creperie!), and I think that this was my mistake. I ordered regular tabbouleh, but it was strangely sweet--I think there were peppers in it or something, but it was actually unpleasant. The hummus (round 2) was still strong and mushroom/mint salad was decent--needed flavor, despite the promised mint. Accidentally ordered more of the eggplant/tomato, which was also a mistake--not that it was bad...I just didn't need that much oil! Overall, I do think that this is a good restaurant, they have some kinks in service to work out, but it's really the grill that one should go for--I'd take veggies elsewhere (although there are more vegetarian options than it first appears when you walk in and are greeted by a meat case).

While my sweet and sour chicken was gasping for its last cluck under a sea of sauce, the flavour did touch all four corners of perfection for delicious Thai food (hot, sour, sweet and salty). With big chunky pieces of white meat chicken along with fresh, crisp veggies and juicy pineapple, let's just say there wasn't much complaining between the time the chopsticks tucked into the container and when they hit my mouth. We were also completely impressed with the pad thai testing staple! As others pointed out, the noodles had that 'tomato-y' flavour, where the fish sauce, soy sauce chili and lime seem to magically blend into a new sauce all together, almost more like tamarind than tomato, but in the same fruity, sour, date-ish flavour. All in all, this is a YES for a cheap, cheerful and quick take-away bite.
