Did you know
Founded by Ali Dirik and now run by his sons Ferhat and Sertaç, Mangal II helped introduce charcoal ocakbasi grilling to a wider London audience at a time when Turkish food was hard to find outside Dalston and Stoke Newington, and it has drawn a following that includes chefs and musicians visiting from well beyond the neighbourhood.
Local tip
Order a mixed grill to share and expect a simple, no-frills dining room, the restaurant's reputation rests entirely on the quality of the grilling rather than décor or atmosphere.
