Signature tantuni, flavorful wraps, & traditional Turkish desserts
"Most of the kibbeh people know are deep fried, cracking with bulgur wheat and immensely tasty. Those teardrop mincemeat dumplings can be found at (Lebanese) Yasmina in Acton and (Iraqi) Juma in Borough Market. But consider the boiled version, the purists choice, where they are sweet and sticky as gulab jamun, filled with syrupy meat juice. Those kibbeh, known in Turkish as icli kofte (see also, Hala) are the star of Dede Tantuni, where they are a must order alongside the titular tantuni itself." - Jonathan Nunn
"Içli köfte are presented boiled rather than fried, yielding a compressed bulgur mantle that hides a gushing, spiced meat core; the result is a captivating, juicy take on the kibbeh-like dumpling that stood out even among a table of showier dishes." - Daisy Meager
"A lively spot now in Dalston serving excellent tantuni—succulent, fatty meat with onion salad and tomatoes wrapped in thin lavash—and simple but very satisfying desserts like künefe and ice cream. The tight, focused offering is presented as essential, local fare worth choosing over nearby chain options." - Shekha Vyas
