Ingredients change daily with seasonal availability. See also its sister restaurant, Dulwich Lyceum.
Summary
“Boom! – of the school of cooking that says ‘let’s set fire to it and then drown it in olive oil’… wonderful!” – Albanian-born John Gionleka’s Peckham pub conversion is based around a charcoal grill, as inspired by the cuisine of the former Ottoman Empire, stretching all the way from Croatia via the Balkans and Greece to Anatolia. The wine list covers much the same territory, with excursions into France and the Lebanon.
Summary
“Delicious pan-Balkan cuisine is served, including on the newly spruced-up terrace” at this “outstanding” charcoal grill specialist, off the beaten track in Peckham. The culinary territory of the old Ottoman empire, “traversing Balkan, Greek and Anatolian cuisines”, makes for an “interesting” dining experience, accompanied by some “wonderful Greek and Croatian wines”, and served by “friendly and attentive staff”. Top Tips: “you have to try the octopus”, and the “fabulous and addictive flatbread!”.
Summary
“All the dishes deliver bags of flavour and something different to the usual” at this “really interesting Balkan restaurant”, “well off-the-beaten-path (even by Peckham standards)”. Much is cooked on a charcoal grill so “there’s a happy smoky vibe to the place”, although it’s “always busy” and “can feel cramped”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
