Alaz Turkish Cuisine Finchley is a Turkish grill restaurant on Monkville Parade, the stretch of Finchley Road at Temple Fortune where Finchley meets Golders Green. It is a full sit-down restaurant with a bar, open from lunchtime until late every day.

The menu is built around the charcoal grill: chicken şiş, lamb ribs, köfte, beyti and mixed grills, alongside meze such as humus, baba ganuş, falafel and börek. Lahmacun (thin flatbread topped with spiced minced lamb) is on the menu too, along with fish such as grilled sea bass, octopus and monkfish, and stuffed aubergine for vegetarians. Desserts include baklava and sütlaç (rice pudding).

It suits a family dinner, a birthday meal or a relaxed night out with friends.
