I love lahmacun, the crispy base, the rich meaty lamby topping, the fact that I can buy a great one for £1.40 round the corner from me. Also it must be healthy, surely you can't buy that many calories for £1.40... surely (he says grabbing belly). It is much to my surprise, therefore, that my new favourite Green Lanes restaurant does not sell lahmacun. What's even more surprising is that it's still Turkish. Turkish, no lahmacun, favourite... how odd. So what's so great about this place (the food obviously, but why). Amazing, amazing grilling skills - something key to any ocakbasi experience - and a real, attention and care to making sure that everything about what are at root simple dishes is just right.
