"Once part of the old school of N16 ocakbaşı restaurants, Mangal II in Dalston is now one of London's most innovative—think dishes like cull yaw fat sourdough pide, or tahini and apple tart with mahlep cream. The comfortable, pared-back room is often full of Dalstonites hitting the natural wine list and if you’re looking for a scene that pairs Turkish tradition with new-age approaches, this is your place." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
