Best kebab I’ve had in London. Great service, lovely atmosphere and great pricing for the quality of food you get.The twitter account is great too.

Mangal 2 is the food of kings. Had the Tavuk Beyti which was well seasoned and grilled to perfection. The breads and dip they provide you with are just so flavourful, you’ll forget you have a kebab on the way. Try the Hummus too, but make sure to share it, otherwise you’ll have no room for your main! thoughtsfromtoronto.tumblr.com
This place has great Turkish food! They serve you bread with a few different dips, as well as salad to munch on while you’re waiting for your food. I have to be honest–I didn’t love their falafels. They were good, but I’ve had better. However, everything else is great! Their aubergine veggie dishes were yummy! Go for it if you’re craving Turkish food!
Nice kebab! Although it’s a bit fat from where I live, I’ll occasionally come for a good plate of kebab with some nice bread and side dishes. The portion is generous and I love the marinated pepper and chilli. They gave me a plate of rice which was so tasty – soft and has like coconut milk taste. The place can be quite busy but service is normally good.
If you ask those in the know where to go for a great kebab, ocakbasi-style in Dalston, you’ll probably hear one of three places – Cirrik, Mangal, or Mangal 2. Mangal 2 was the one I came to last, and while we had a really good meal there, it didn’t quite live up to either of the other two.We shared a mixed grill to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and we also shared a couple of mezze – an aubergine dish and a lahmacun. Neither of these were anything to write home about, but the mixed grill was pretty good – especially the chicken wings, when I had assumed it was the lamb which they would excel at. There was also a side of grilled onions with a spicy pomegranate dressing, which I couldn’t get enough of. jaminaward.wixsite.com
Chef Ali opened the original Mangal around 25 years ago and this branch around 20 years ago. He is something of an authority in Ocakbasi in the local area and the results are delicious. Theres a large selection of grilled meat dishes and plenty to keep vegetarians occupied too. As a reference for myself in comparing Ocakbasi restaurants I always like to compare the Cop Sis (small lamb cubes). These were succulent and tender, served up with a generous plate of salad and Turkish bread on the side. The simple sounding Grilled Aubergine was equally delicious served with a tasty sauce and portion of bulgur wheat.Its no wonder famous artist duo Gilbert and George have been regulars here since it opened.
