Green Lanes superstar Hala is an undeniable leader when it comes to Turkish restaurants in London. The family-run spot has stood the test of time since opening in 2002, with mouth-watering recipes and outstanding service. It’s hard to go wrong with a menu this great, but fan favourites include lahmacun (colloquially known as Turkish pizza), mantı, and ali nazik with lamb, featuring a smoked aubergine puree and a buttery yoghurt dressing. Their beloved hand-rolled-to-order gözlemes (crispy, golden pastry dishes that come with various meat and veggie fillings) are also a must.
