"The majority of Green Lanes’ smoking ocakbaşı action occurs in Harringay, but down by Newington Green, plenty of people know that 01 Adana is just as good, if not better than snazzier options further north. We’ve relied on this ginormous Turkish canteen for years, whether it be for a swift, satisfying lahmacun (no garlic or chilli, ever) or a post-pub Friday night dinner of juicy adana kofte, grilled onion salad, and one more Efes for the road. You’ll get a mix of gruff locals and i-D magazine-worthy Dalstonites, depending on the time and the day, and come most Fridays and Saturdays there’s a pleasing hum to this big strip-lighting-lit room. The meat cooking here is very good, and sitting down with your most trusted carnivorous friends for a mixed grill is always a good idea. That said, when hanger strikes, a wrap has never let us down. Food Rundown Lahmacun 01 Adana’s peynirli lahmacun is an irresistible bit of gooey salty sacrilege. The cheese, of the indeterminable-but-salty-and-excellent-at-melting variety, is an unsurprisingly happy match for a handheld snack with meat and mince. That said, a classic always goes down well here too. photo credit: Giulia Verdinelli" - Jake Missing
