Turkish homemade food · Dalston, London
A family kitchen in Dalston. Village breakfasts, hand-rolled gözleme, mantı pinched by hand and stews that simmer all morning — nothing from a packet, nothing rushed.
Hoş geldiniz
Our dough is rolled by hand every morning. Our stews go on before the doors open. Nothing comes from a packet, nothing is rushed, and everything is the way our mothers made it in Anatolia.

Kahvaltı, all day
Serpme kahvaltı is not a dish, it’s a morning. Twenty-odd little plates: homemade cheeses, honey and clotted cream, tahini with grape molasses, sigara böreği, sucuk, olives, eggs, pişi, fresh lavash and as much tea as you like.
Our kitchen
Every morning the pots go on the stove, the lavash goes into the oven and the gözleme dough is rolled out on the counter. It’s slow, honest cooking: the kind of food you’d get if you were invited round to a Turkish home for lunch.

Afiyet olsun
Honestly the best breakfast I have had in London so far. It is the kind of food that makes you slow down and actually enjoy every moment.
Great breakfast and warm service. Had a serpme kahvaltı, which is basically a bit of everything, and it was delicious.
Beautiful breakfast. Definitely one of the best in the area. The tahini and grape molasses is a personal favourite.
