Turkish Grocers & Delis

Area

Dalston & Stoke Newington

Akdeniz is a Turkish supermarket on Stoke Newington High Street, in the heart of one of London’s best-known Turkish and Kurdish neighbourhoods. It’s open around the clock, which makes it a lifeline for late-night shopping on the high street.

Like most Turkish grocers in the area, it’s the place to stock up on the basics for a Turkish kitchen: fresh bread, white cheese and olives for breakfast, pulses, bulgur and spices, plus sweets and snacks. We haven’t been able to check its full range, so expect stock to vary.

It suits anyone cooking Turkish food at home, or picking up breakfast supplies at any hour.

What to order at Akdeniz Stoke Newington

We haven’t been able to check Akdeniz’s full range, so treat this as a guide to the staples to look for in a Turkish grocer:

• Beyaz peynir – salty white cheese, the centre of a Turkish breakfast
• Zeytin – black and green olives, often sold loose or in tubs
• Sucuk – spicy, garlicky Turkish beef sausage, great fried with eggs
• Bulgur and pulses – the base for pilav, kısır and lentil soup
• Çay – Turkish black tea, brewed strong and served in small glasses

Atmosphere and good to know

This is a neighbourhood supermarket rather than a café, so plan to shop rather than sit down. Halal status of the meat products isn’t stated, so check labels or ask staff.

Because it never closes, it’s handy for early breakfasts and last-minute ingredients. The high street around it is full of Turkish restaurants, bakeries and cafés if you’d like to eat nearby.

Akdeniz Stoke Newington opening hours

Open 24 hours, seven days a week. Hours can change on bank holidays, so check with the shop before you travel.
