Tantunim Enfield is a small Turkish street-food shop at 608 Hertford Road, at the Freezywater and Enfield Wash end of the road, not far from Turkey Street. It trades as Tantunim Çiğköfte, which tells you most of what you need to know.
The focus is on two southern Turkish favourites. Tantuni is finely chopped meat stir-fried on a wide, shallow pan with spices, then rolled in thin lavash with tomato, onion and parsley. Çiğ köfte is a spicy paste of fine bulgur, tomato and pepper paste, kneaded by hand and usually served wrapped or with lettuce leaves for scooping.
It’s a good fit for a quick, cheap lunch or a late snack, and the çiğ köfte makes it one of the easier stops for vegans on this stretch.

Atmosphere and good to know
Think counter service and takeaway rather than a sit-down meal. Today’s çiğ köfte is normally made without meat, which makes it suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but ask if you want to be sure. Halal status isn’t stated.
It’s open from noon until midnight every day, so it works for a late bite as well as lunch.
