"Of all the things that come off of FM Mangal’s ocakbaşı grill in Camberwell, it’s hard to pick a favourite. The adana kebab is juicy and perfectly spiced. The aubergine and peppers, just the right amount of smoky. And the flatbread—soaked in meat juices, rubbed with a secret, moreish, spicy rub, and grilled over coals—is a basket of bread we’ll always welcome. It’s little surprise that this neighbourhood favourite is always buzzing come dinnertime." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
"“FM(L), this bread will seduce you.” Not our words but the words of LisaJemma, a 69 reviews-strong contributor to TripAdvisor. Punny skills aside, Jemma knows her stuff. Because great things can always be made greater, so it’s no wonder that FM Mangal’s already delicious flatbread—warmed over the ocakbasi and ready to be dunked, dipped, and mop all in its path–is made even better by a little sizzle and spice. It’s first whacked on top cooking kebabs to soak up some of their fizzling fats, before being smeared in spices. Glistening from the grill and smoky from the spice mixture, this isn’t a single basket problem." - jake missing
"We’re fans of the flatbread at FM Mangal, as well as their kofte and roasted onions in pomegranate. And they are now taking orders for collection. Call them on 020 7701 6677 to order, and check their Instagram page for updates." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"We like ourselves a bit of bread here at The Infatuation London. White bread. Brown bread. Rye bread. Injera. You name the bread, we eat it. If you’re anything like this, then you’ll want to know that FM Mangal, a Turkish grill spot on Church Street, has got some seriously good (flat)bread. It’s warmed over the grill and covered in a secret mixture of what we can only describe as smoke, fat, and spice. Needless to say, you’ll be eating several bowls of this. Also needless to say that it goes very well with their kofte, roasted onions in pomegranate, and whatever else you want to pile on top." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager

The aubergine and peppers, just the right amount of smoky. And the flatbread - the flatbread that’s soaked in meat juices, rubbed with a-never-not-exciting secret rub, and grilled over coals - is something we’d isolate with forever. Which is why you’ll be ordering a lot here, for today, tomorrow, and again in the near future." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
