Juicy Ottoman kebabs, vibrant piyaz salad, and eclectic decor
"At Kofteci Metin, koftes are the order of the day. The thumb-sized meatballs aren’t the sole thing on the menu—there’s a wonderful piyaz salad and a moreish plate of mashed aubergine and feta—but they are the only main. The big, banquette-filled dining room of this restaurant on Harringay Green Lanes makes it very easy to get comfortable and commit to a lunch or dinner of meatball and juicy Ottoman kebab appreciation." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
"You could come to Kofteci Metin as a vegetarian and have a perfectly pleasant meal. The Turkish restaurant on a corner of Harringay’s Green Lanes makes a delicious, generous piyaz (a slick salad of plump white beans, fine raw onion, tomato, and parsley in a pool of oil), as well as wonderful grilled and mashed aubergine topped with feta. If you did that, though, you would be missing the point. Kofteci Metin is a self-proclaimed meatball enthusiast and a very good one at that. The koftes are the only main on the menu and for good reason given the care and attention they’re grilled with. An Ottoman kebab here, with or without cheese, is as juicy as you’ll find anywhere in London—and six mixed kebabs with bread, grilled peppers, and tomato chilli sauce for under £20 is very good going. The space itself puts the fun in functional and feels like it’s been fitted entirely from one Wish order after a few too many down the pub. There are neon lights, tiled walls, exposed brickwork, and an enormous fake Picasso. Friends settle in on big round tables, dates take a banquette, and solo diners get comfortable with an Efes and meatballs for one. It feels like a happy hodge podge inside and it works. Especially given the food is focused on doing one thing very well." - Jake Missing
"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

That said, the eclectic aesthetic works and there’s plenty of room for groups big and small to settle in for some serious kofte action." - jake missing
