Turkish Home Cooking (Lokanta) in London
A lokanta is a Turkish canteen serving ev yemekleri, home cooking, from steam trays: stews, stuffed vegetables, rice, beans and soups, chosen at the counter and eaten quickly. London has a handful of good ones, including Esnaf Lokantası in Enfield, Hanımeli in Dalston, TANDIR in Palmers Green, Üstün Lahmacun & Pide Salonu in Newington Green and Iznik in Highbury, which does the sit-down version. They are among the best-value Turkish meals in the city, and the best way to eat beyond kebabs.
