"On busy Brompton Road, The Mantl is a welcome respite. There’s typically shoppers looking for a bite to eat but on weeknights, you can pretty much always get a last-minute table at the Turkish spot. Inside it’s relaxed and unpretentious: prams are squeezed in and families gather over mixed grills and manti. Casual dates sink into the comfortable booths, scooping pulled lamb-topped hummus with warm za’atar-dusted bread. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours nibbling on mezze and sipping on strong Turkish tea." - rianne shlebak
