"The best Turkish Cypriot food in London is found way up in the northern clutches of the city, and this is no secret. But for whatever reason, a credible restaurant can be found in Victoria. Cyprus Mangal has an expansive menu, with cooling tabbouleh and crisp falafel; the shish kebabs are juicy and generous. But snacks such as the icli kofte, which are succulent deep-fried balls filled with lamb and onion, and imam bayildi, oven-baked aubergines sweet with tomatoes and peppers, mean Cyprus Mangal exceeds expectations." - Josh Barrie
