"Selin Kiazim’s first solo restaurant on the back streets between Old Street roundabout and Shoreditch is a modern marriage of the chef’s Turkish-Cypriot heritage and the cheffy, fusion cooking experience gained from years working with The Providores’ Peter Gordon. The small dining room and bar are organised around an open kitchen which utilises a wood oven and tiered grill with as much competence as any restaurant in the city. Grown-up pide (flatbreads) — marinated octopus with ricotta; or a classic lamb lahmacun — are served with a crisp, piquant pomegranate-dressed red cabbage salad with pickles; the regularly-changing grilled meats might include glazed lamb breast or half chicken served with preserved lemon and greens." - Jonathan Nunn
