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).

This quaint little Turkish restaurant sits inconspicuously at the end of a parade of shops situated…read morenear the junction of High Street Edgware/Station Road. This business started life around six months ago (summer 09) as Clay Plate where they focussed on clay-oven based dishes like turkish pizza, Pide, Lahmacun and Meze dishes. They have recently re-branded as 'Ocakbasi', done away with the clay oven and replaced it with a Charcoal Grill. Although I was a big fan of their previous set-up, the re-brand is a very welcome change with a focus on grilled meat and kebab dishes. Décor is quaint, perhaps a little eccentric, with lampshades fashioned from old kitchen utensils, but the atmosphere is pleasant. Waitresses are way above benchmark, and me and my friends all have our favourites! Prices for an evening meal sit in the £10-£20 range but i've never been for dinner. You can usually pick up a decent lunch in here for less than a fiver including a drink. Definitely recommended for Edgware locals and visitors alike. Do it.

Edgware's best little secret…read more I've been to many far more expensive restaurants and their food does not come close to the quality and taste of their produce. - The chef appears to love cooking, and you can see how he lovingly prepares and cooks his food at the grill, and this comes through in the excellent taste. The waitresses are always friendly, and if they don't have it on the menu, they will often make it upon request, nothing seems to much trouble. - Also they provide lots of super extras, plenty of bread, salad and baclavas. The value is super also, you will be hard pressed to spend more than £30 per couple and can easily do much less. Why did it not get 5 stars. - The snob in me comes out here. - The decor and fittings detracts from the experience. - Unfortunately this can make you feel you are eating in a high street kebab shop. - I have learned to look past this and have had many many thoroughly enjoyable evenings there, but I can see how this affects others.

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.
