Best Mangal

Best Mangal’s oçakbasi-grilled food has proved so popular that it now owns three jam-packed outlets less than a mile apart. It’s easy to see the attraction – the Broadway branch’s charcoal grill sends lip-tingling barbecue aromas all the way to Stamford Bridge while turning out juicy, flame-licked meat to order. The interiors might be utilitarian, but the food more than makes up for it: kick off with plates of hot & cold mezze, then go for an open kebab of marinated lamb with zingy salad & a bowl of Turkish breads, or opt for something more exotic – say grilled spatchcock quail, washed down with plenty of Efes beer. To end, nibble on sticky Turkish pastries before setting into the shisha lounge for some fruity puffing. All three sites also do a roaring takeaway trade.
