Turkish restaurant on Camberwell Church Street in Camberwell.
secretlondon visited one early evening in June 2009. I think I was the only customer.
You enter into a small lobby area where you would order and wait for takeaways. Restaurant seating is in front of you up or down a small flight of stairs. There was Turkish pop music playing.
I had hot mixed meze (£7) photo which was sold as a starter. It came with some flat bread photo 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.
Not fancying a main I went straight to wild strawberry cheesecake (£2.75) photo. This felt like it had been frozen and defrosted for me.
I probably need to go again and have a main but I suspect they are not making the food themselves as much as cooking pre-processed food. As their prices are high-end for Camberwell this isn't very good really. Their kebabs may be great and they clearly have a large grill for them.
Accessibility: Not sure if there are steps to get in but there are steps to get to any of the tables, and two sets to get to the toilets.
