Pimlico, Turkish Restaurant Guide

“The smell of the ocakbasi barbecue transports you to the eastern Med” at this good-value Turkish-Cypriot grill near Victoria station in Pimlico. It has satisfied appetites for nearly two decades with “flavourful and plentiful lamb dishes, plus piquant salads and salty rice to set them off”.

“A Pimlico gem for so many years now, and even better than ever” – this “good-value” joint serving “good, honest Turkish food” celebrates its 21st anniversary this year. It’s “heartening to see it so popular (deservedly so) since the latest lockdown ended”, although it now operates on just one side of Wilton Road, having had two venues for years.
