The Mantl - Review - Knightsbridge - London - The Infatuation
"On Knightsbridge’s busiest street, The Mantl is a welcome respite. Obviously there’s overspill from 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, where 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, digging into the grilled meats, and sipping on strong Turkish tea—especially if the thought of heading back onto the tourist-ridden Brompton Road makes you want to cry. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Pulled Lamb Hummus Stringy, meaty lamb is piled on top of thick hummus, and topped with crispy red onions. Of course you should order the za’atar bread with it. Feraye These crispy dumplings are disappointing. There’s barely any meat filling, making them way too bready. PlayMute Sarma Beyti Juicy lamb kebab wrapped in flatbread and served with rich tomato sauce and dollops of refreshing yoghurt—this is a flawless dish. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Milk Kadayif This is a wet, creamy dessert that’s a little too heavy for our liking.
