Best Turkish Restaurants in London

Local Recommendations from our My Guide London team

There are several Turkish restaurants spotted along Kingsland Road, in Shacklewell, just north of Islington. Here, and elsewhere across London, you'll find Turkish cuisine at its finest. 

An exemplary Turkish dish is pilaf. It serves a purpose at ceremonial meals as well as day-to-day cooking, and the most well-known pilaf dish in Turkey is rice pilaf, though there are others. The Turks also bring the infamous kebab - perhaps something many of us has picked up on the way home - in a quality restaurant, the kebab is classy and tasty.
