Turkish Cypriot in London
Turkish Cypriot cooking shares the charcoal grill with mainland Turkey but adds its own dishes: kleftiko, halloumi and hellim grilled or fried, şeftali kebab, molohiya and pilavuna pastries. Cyprus Mangal in Pimlico is the listed specialist, a long-running ocakbaşı near Victoria station with meze and a drinks licence. Many of London’s Turkish grills are run by Cypriot families, so look for şeftali and hellim on menus elsewhere too.
