"At Kofteci Metin, friends settle in on big round tables and dates take a banquette while solo diners get comfortable with an Efes and meatballs. And everyone enjoys an enormous replica Picasso that hangs on the wall. The eclectic interior of this Turkish spot on Harringay Green Lanes is an added bonus to what is a straightforward restaurant. This place is all about koftes—juicy Ottoman kebabs, maybe with a vibrant piyaz salad on the side." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
