Arda

The Turkish-by-numbers decor here means no surprises in seeing carpets and decorative plates lining the walls. The menu,too,is a greatest hits list of dips,grills and pides. But it’s all accomplished,including thick-cut char-grilled haloumi,its saltiness cut by a zingy pomegranate molasses-dressed salad. Tender slices of lamb doner kebab and juicy chicken are just the start of the mixed grill’s moreish meat fest. Traditional pizzas,such as boat-shaped pide with minced lamb,are tops. And read your fortune in your Turkish coffee grounds;chances are it’ll include a return visit.
