Lahmacun Dunyasi — Restaurant in London

The reason for visiting the area was to get some Turkish-style desserts, particularly from a place I recently reviewed. I must admit, the experience felt like heaven to me because all the things I wanted were conveniently located right next to each other.

After enjoying a delightful breakfast and deciding on the desserts I would take home, we turned our attention to dinner. We chose to get our meal from a place specializing in Lahmacun, often referred to as Turkish pizza. It’s truly remarkable to have such places close to each other, making it convenient to explore and enjoy a variety of Turkish culinary delights.

This particular establishment features an original Turkish traditional food baking oven, which is a key highlight. Such ovens are incredibly popular in Turkish cuisine, yet they are not something you come across often. Their structural requirements make them difficult to build just anywhere, which adds a sense of authenticity and uniqueness to the experience.

Beyond the oven, however, the place itself doesn’t stand out much. It’s a fairly ordinary space, somewhere between a basic café and a casual restaurant. Despite its modest setting, their menu was impressively rich with choices. While there were plenty of options, we primarily focused on Lahmacun, which we decided to get as a takeaway.

I have to admit, Lahmacun is best enjoyed fresh and hot, right after it comes out of the oven. Reheating it at home simply doesn’t capture the same level of freshness and flavor. This is why I would recommend eating it on-site whenever possible for the full experience.

One important note about this dish is that it’s crucial to communicate your preferences clearly when ordering. Lahmacun can be customized with toppings such as onions, garlic, or chili, or made without them. Unfortunately, we didn’t specify our preferences this time and ended up with Lahmacun that had a very strong garlic flavor. While some might love the boldness of garlic, I would have preferred mine with onions instead. It’s a small but important detail that can make a big difference in your dining experience.

Overall, the visit was a delightful culinary journey. The proximity of these Turkish-inspired eateries made it easy to explore and enjoy a range of authentic flavors. Whether it’s desserts, breakfast, or traditional Turkish pizza, the area offers a little slice of Turkey for those who seek it. Next time, I’ll be sure to specify my preferences to make the experience...

I’ve been vegetarian for over 5 years and haven’t eat meat even once in all that time, not even by mistake. I really liked the vegetarian lahmacun here so I was coming all the way 40 mins drive just to eat it.

Today I went with a friend. He ordered the regular lahmacun and I ordered the vegetarian one as always. When they bring them, they looked very similar and I saw what looked like minced meat on mine. I asked the waitress to please check again. She said they’re very careful about these things but she’ll ask the chef.

The chef came, looked confused and first pointed to my friend’s lahmacun and said “this is the veggie one.” Then he said “oh no sorry, yours is vegetarian, don’t worry.” I already ate some of it but I was still unsure inside. So I ordered a second vegetarian lahmacun just to compare. When it came, it was clear. They gave me meat.

I showed the difference to the waitress and she said sorry many times. I appreciate her being kind and honest, but I already eat meat without knowing and for me that’s a big deal.

I left quietly but it really affected me. I couldn’t do anything for the rest of the day. I felt emotionally heavy. This is not just a small mistake for someone like me.

If you serve vegetarian items, you really need to be 100% sure. This experience was very upsetting and I hope no one else...

Very Bad APPALLING Horrible experience, they thought I wasn't going to pay so they made me go at the back and pay first. I've never experienced anything like this before and then when the food was ready they didn't even bring it to me but instead they made me get up walk through the whole restaurant to collect it near the kitchen. Walked to the car, had a bite and realised the scarcity of meat and salad but most of all no sauce, had to go back and tell them to add sauce; when has it ever happend that in a kebab restaurant clients are not asked what sauce we'd like? Garlic, chilli, etc etc. Absolute madness. Probably just another turkish money laundry business, I strongly advise the police and council to get involved especially just by reading the other reviews it just proves my point. PLEASE SHUT IT DOWN!!!! ABSOLUTE DISCRACE.

Racial profiling I would say. Only turkish aloud

The funny thing is that I walked out and got in my Super AMG and drove stop purposely by their entrance hahaha their jaw dropped and they Felt stupid...
