I had hot mixed meze (£7) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3620314958/ photo]</small> which was sold as a starter. It came with some flat bread <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3619498643 photo]</small> and consisted of borek, falafel, calamari, sucuk and hellim. The falafel was average and the calamari had an onion rings vibe. The cheese-filled spring roll-like things felt like they were made in a factory. |

This felt like it had been frozen and defrosted for me. |

I probably need to go again and have a main; I suspect they are not making the starters and desserts themselves as much as cooking pre-processed food. As their prices are high-end for Camberwell this isn't what you would come here for. Their kebabs may be great and they clearly have a large grill for them. |
