Harringay & Green Lanes

Umut 2000 Harringay is a Turkish ocakbaşı at 551 Green Lanes, on the northern end of Harringay’s long run of Turkish restaurants. It is the larger sister of the long-running Umut 2000 in Dalston, with a big, dimly lit dining room built around the charcoal grill.

The menu is classic ocakbaşı cooking: meat grilled over charcoal and served on large platters with salad and bread, plus hummus and other meze to start. The lamb ribs come up again and again as the dish to order.

It suits big groups, birthday dinners and anyone who wants a long, sharing-style meal of grilled meat.

What to order at Umut 2000 Harringay

Order a few meze for the table, then go big on the grill:

• Kuzu kaburga – lamb ribs cooked over charcoal until crisp at the edges
• Karışık ızgara – mixed grill platter of lamb, chicken and kebabs to share
• Humus – creamy chickpea and tahini dip to start
• Meze tabağı – a selection of small cold plates for the table

Atmosphere and good to know

The room is large and cavernous, so it can take groups more easily than many smaller grills on the street. Beer and wine are served, according to listings. Halal options are mentioned by third-party guides, but the restaurant doesn’t state its halal status, so ask staff.

Vegetarians can make a meal from meze and salads. It is open until midnight every day, and booking ahead is sensible for larger groups at weekends.
