Enfield

Enfes Ocakbaşı is a family-style Turkish grill restaurant on Hertford Road in Ponders End, Enfield, in the middle of a busy run of Turkish bakeries, grills and dessert shops. Kebabs and grilled meats are cooked over charcoal.

The menu is split into cold starters, hot starters and kebabs. Mixed grills bring together Adana, lamb şiş, chicken şiş and lamb chops with rice and salad, and family platters are available for groups. The bread, cooked on the grill so it soaks up the smoky juices, is often the thing people remember.

It suits a casual family dinner, a group meal or a late takeaway.
