Kahvaltı · served all day
Turkish breakfast in Dalston, the proper way.
Little plates, big table, endless tea. From a quick simit and çay to the full serpme spread for two.
What to expect
Breakfast here isn’t a plate. It’s a spread.
In Turkey, breakfast is the meal you linger over. We lay the table with homemade cheeses, olives, eggs the way you like them, honey with clotted cream, tahini with grape molasses, fresh lavash from the oven and tea that keeps coming.
Come with one person and order the Turkish or Village breakfast. Come with two or more and the Serpme Kahvaltı is the one: everything, for £40 between two, with unlimited tea and bread.
