The Dirik family's Dalston ocakbaşı, turned in 2020 into one of London's most talked-about restaurants: sourdough pide with cultured kaymak butter, mushroom mantı in broth and lamb sweetbreads off the charcoal, with natural wines. The old-school Mangal 1 is round the corner if you want the BYOB original.
