YUM! This restaurant was across the street from our AirBNB and we just stumbled in on our first day. I don't eat meat so I was dubious but the falafel/halloumi wrap was so good that we went back again in our short 4 day visit! read more

Fez Mangal - Platter - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

We found this restaurant on our first night in London. We were staying in the Mayfair section of London and looking for a good restaurant for our first night. We found this restaurant in Shepherds Marker. We definitely were not expecting the meal that we got. The food was some of the best I've had in any restaurant anywhere. The lamb kebab was perfectly done and very tender. The rice and salad was also very tasty. We like the restaurant so much that we actually ate here two of the four nights we were in London. The service was unbelievably friendly and you felt like you were at a friend's dining room. I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking at a nice Mediterranean dinner. read more

The Adana kebab here is significantly better compared to the same dish outside of Turkey. If you're looking for an authentic taste similar to good Adana kebab in Turkey, this place is the right one. read more

Fantastic, marvelous, great. We stopped in here for a late meal. The atmosphere is wonderful. The decoration and lighting makes it feel like someone's dining room. I got the lamb. It was lovely and tender and very flavorful. I had a beer (they only have one) and it was cold and smooth. I'm told that you Dan also BYOB. I will try to go back soon and have other menu items. read more

Great food and service. Came back 2 other times within the week I was In London. Highly recommend

On a recent trip to London, the wife and i spent our Saturday morning walking around Notting Hill at the Portobello Rd Market. After 3+ weeks of traveling we were looking for something to excite our taste buds again. After looking up a few places we ended up coming to Fez for lunch. We ordered the mix plate for 2 as an appetizer and then we shared the mixed combo for 2. Great thing about these two dishes is that you get to sample a good majority of food. I can honestly say that it was very authentic and probably better that most places here in California. For two people it was plenty of food and even enough leftovers which i ate at our hotel for dinner. Even cold, it was still really good. All the meats were well seasoned and i think my favorite was the spiced lamb. read more

Wow. Incredible meal. Highly recommend. Fresh and cooked to perfection. Great spot if you are looking for something different! read more

WOW. I am so happy this place is located so close to me. I was expecting the usual fare which they have of course but the food for the most part was amazing. I was disappointed by their lentil soup. It was a bit thin and the flavors were not very complex. The grilled fish though....amazing! I picked every tender piece of white flesh off and wished I had more. It was perfectly grilled on the outside and soft and moist inside. Just a tiny splash of lemon and bam...all sorts of deliciousness! Kebabs as expected..also delicious. When you walk in you see the grill fired up and kebabs ready to be devoured. Very cool place. read more

The food is fantastic, but the staff leaves much to desire. The cooks are generally rude overall, but especially when I ask what an item was in the display case. read more

So delicious! Great spot to stop for doner kebab and salads! Seemed fresh and not too saucy.

Stopped by London for a day before heading back to Los Angeles and decided to give this place a try and I wasn't disappointed! Upon entering, there's a beautiful display of prepped meat and you see them grilling the kabobs. It smells wonderful! They offer byob so grab a bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal. read more

Would I go back? Yes. Why? Because Of the great service, good food and the ambiance. I ordered the dip platter (it had babaganush), as well as the chicken kebab. All of them were high quality and tasty. The dip was served with real nice crispy bread which was a great addition to the dish. The service was great, although one of them wasn't fluent in English but he still made sure to get me what I needed and provided me with best service. Which was very important to me :) the chicken tasted good and the main course had lots of nice sides, rice and bulgur i guess. I'm very picky when it comes to chicken and can't stand the reheated chicken bad smell, but I enjoyed my chicken kebab and finished it all. read more

Great place and food Lovely service Nice ambiance Good prices Enjoyed the evening read more

Fez Mangal has been around for a couple of years now and I have only heard good things about it. Yet I've not had more than a Turkish coffee before. Somehow Ladbroke Grove is all about pubs and music for me, or the odd sneaky takeaway - it's such a busy dirty road, it hasn't occurred to me to stop for dinner before ... ... and I've missed out. A friend suggested lunch here yesterday, and it won't be my last! We shared a mixed grill which was served on rice and with a generous serving of salad on the side, as well as delicious garlic and chillie sauces. For a sporadic meat eater like me, this was perfect, lots of different flavours, perfectly cooked. All the meat is piled up behind a glass counter as you walk in. Carnivore heaven - veggie hell! The don't have a licence but invite BYO which would make this a very affordable dinner option. The fresh mint tea (fresh leaves sharing the water with a tea bag - free top ups!) was perfect for daytime. read more

This is one of the best Turkish restaurants I've been to! Amazing lamb dishes- you have to have the Beyti yogurtlu- it's the best lamb dish I had!! Great,inexpensive and so tasty!!! read more

First of all, for all international travelers, this place does not take credit cards. They take only debit cards that require pins. So do not get misguided. Having said that, as you can see from my star rating, I LOVE THIS PLACE! It is delicious and awesomely priced. I had the lamb shish (kebab) as some people recommended. I absolutely loved the tender and juicy lamb blocks. I also did try the baklavas, and it was wonderfully fresh and tasty. The baklavas arrived even warm still. I highly recommend this place around London. Have to come visit. I for sure will be returning a second time if not more! read more

This is THE Turkish restaurant. I cant say anymore. No other spot in London comes close

My American boyfriend ranks this place as his new favourite restaurant. I agree it was gooooood! Really enjoyed our food here. They told us they were short staffed but we couldn't tell. The food was awesome and we will definitely be back when we are in the area. We had the shared Mezu plate (bread and dips - amazing) and then the lamb combo and lamb doner. So good! read more

Excellent Turkish food and wonderful staff. our waitress was Ozge and so very nice, the rest of the staff also assisted whenever they came by our table. A really supporting team We started out with falafel and the Meza assortment for two. Also the lentil soup. All were great. The soup has a little kick to it. Then my sons shared the Chicken and Lamb mix for two, I had the chicken shish and their mom had the sea brime. The meals came with salad and wonderful flat pita like bread. We were so full, even the boys, that we could not finish it all and had to take food home with us. But that did not stop us from trying the dessert--Baklava. The best we have ever tasted. I definitely recommend this restaurant to any one looking for great taste and great portions with a warm and friendly staff. read more

Would I recommend this place to a friend? Yes Would I come here again? Yes This is a great small restaurant with good service. I got the lamb doner and yogurt/cucumber starter and they were both very good! If you like Mediterranean or Turkish food I'd definitely come here. The only problem was they sat us in the back next to the toilet. There's only one toilet so there was constantly people waiting in line and trying to get around the table, a little annoying. Besides that issue the food and service is good! read more

Best Turkish food I've ever had. Stopped in as we were walking through Notting Hill. The place was packed so there was a bit of a wait and there really wasn't a good system or queue but we eventually got a seat. We started with some hummus, baba ghanoush and tabbouleh and moved on to lentil soup and the beef skewers. The food was remarkable. They had a good wine selection and the ambience was relaxing and pleasant. Was the culinary highlight of our London trip. Would definitely return if we get a chance. read more

Fez Mangal - Hummus, tabbouleh, Baba ghanoush - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

What a find!! Delicious Turkish BBQ at great prices. This place is great if you want to eat out without spending much. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own (thus cutting costs further!) We got the mezze sample plate to start, which was a little of everything, all very good. I particularly loved the dill yogurt dip. And they were very generous with bread. Then we ordered a bunch of kabobs (not doner, I'm a little skittish about doner) and I can't remember the names of anything but the standouts for me were the chicken and the spicy lamb mince. I LOVE lamb mince. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Update: My dad, after six weeks in England and France, believes his meals here were the best of the whole trip. read more

Welcome to Turkey!... ...Or so one might think once they step into this authentic Turkish restaurant. After returning from Istanbul earlier this year, I desperately sought out a place to feed my need for authentic kebabs filled with all natural products, enticing meza platers, and yummy yogurt drinks. I was delighted to find that Fez Mangal satisfies all of these needs. Upon entering into this food haven, one might think that its 'hole in the wall' persona lessens its authenticity and quality. You would be sorely wrong my dear friends. For those of you who have visited Istanbul, you'll know that a manic atmosphere, more times than not, makes for a fantastic gastronomical experience. Fez Mangal follows through on all accounts. With limited seating and even fewer places to stand for takeaway, you'll be hard to find this place not packed to the rim (no matter what day of the week). While this can often spur unfriendly staff, the employees here are friendly none the less. The food, as mentioned earlier, is as authentic as one can get without standing in the middle of the Grand Baazaar. Fresh BBQ, made right in front of you, with fresh ingredients, makes for a definite healthy option to feed any late night kebab craving. I highly suggest the Lamb Shish as this is my personal favourite and sharing (if there are two of you) the meza plate for two as a starter. The portions are quite large (most of the time I leave unable to finish my meal), but are certainly worth it (the prices are exceptionally low for the amount of food offered in one meal). read more

Delicious! Started with hummus and babaganoush. They were both amazing though I'm a sucker for great babaganoush, and this was it! I just about licked the plate clean! Turkish salad was delicious- feta cheese was creamy and perfect. We ate a lot of lamb in our group. Lamb beyti, kebab and the yogurtu lamb beyti were all given 5 stars by our family. Friendly service. Well priced-and well Worth it! read more

The meat is better than most, amazingly tender and the salad that comes with a kebab portion is quite nice - julienned beets, carrots, and some arugula rather than the typical iceberg-tomato-cucumber that comes default elsewhere. The lamb shish was golden and flavorful, ungreasy, non-chewy. Drizzled with the yogurt and spicy sauces at the table, I was scooping every last bit off the plate by the end. Only complaint is the curse of all good places. It's obviously popular for the above-par quality of food, which means the service is spotty during the manic dinner hour. Waitresses are squeezing around the tiny space with baskets of warm bread, dips, and heaping piles of meat coming off the grill like a factory. If you're not in a rush, the randomness of the service won't bother you: it's BYOB, so it's really not hard to be patient: you'll want a little downtime to get through that bottle (or two) of cheap wine from the convenience store up the street! read more

Not impressed with the bread But one of the best spicy kebabs with rice Highly recommended read more

Yummmmmmy!! Bad location but if you're in need of a serious kebab and you're near by with a little extra money than you planned on spending, this is the place. For a healthier option, I had the Chicken Beyti which is minced chicken breast seasoned with garlic and herbs cooked over their hot coals on the spot. It's served with white rice and a mixed salad along with a side of yogurt sauce and spicy salsa-like dressing. The menu is quite extensive for such a simple concept, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable. The prices are a tad high, but the quality standard of this place is high above the local kebab stand. Boris Johnson has even swung by for a bite. Oooh, and they deliver! read more

Amazing food. Nice ambience. Reasonable rates. Definitely one of the best meal places in the locality.

I love this spot. This is my local secret - this is where I go to meet neighborhood friends and dish about the day. They are efficient, clean, and have a BYOB policy. Could I be more happy? I'm the sort of girl that loves to rock up with a nice bag of wine in my handbag. The food is perfect after a long day. My favorite is the grilled Sea Bream, and the Lamb Kabab, both perfectly flavored and delicious. The chicken wings are also delicious, and the other night I saw someone get the lamb chops and was practically salivating. The appitizer 4 dipping sauce special is great, and honestly, this place has the best baklava I've ever had. Draw backs, its a little tight, and you have to sit relatively close to other customers, but it has never stopped me. I'm in here at least once a week if not 2 nights. Don't miss this spot. Gem. read more

I was staying with a friend who lives in Holland Park, and my partner and I walked here for dinner and were blown away. I only wish we had access to Turkish food half as good as this in San Francisco. ---- MAINS ---- Yogurt Lu Chicken Shish: 5 stars A delicious hot ceramic dish of tender chicken, lots of tasty red sauce and warm yoghurt heaped on top. Mixed Döner: 4.5 stars 2-person Special: 5 stars Came back to get this with my friends. An amazing amount of food, lamb and chicken meat. This and a vegetarian mezze platter fed four of us. ---- DRINKS and DESSERTS ---- Ayran: 3.5 stars Standard. Baklava: 3.5 stars A bit soggy but flavour is good. So many delicious sizzling smells and sights at the restaurant. There was a mad-looking 2-person special platter that I want to get if I visit again. Just be warned they don't accept credit cards that require signature, only the PIN ones. read more

This is an absolutely terrific Turkish kebab shop near the Ladbroke Grove tube. The other reviews do justice to the food-- I can only add that the chicken beyti is (imho) a little better than the lamb, and that a good deal is to get an extra skewer of grilled tomatos and peppers (only 1 pound if you're getting takeaway!). read more
