Baraka is an all-day Anatolian restaurant and bar in Finsbury Avenue Square, part of the Broadgate estate next to Liverpool Street station. It opened in January 2020 in a listed building, and its name comes from a Turkish word for an old wooden house where people gather to live and eat.
The kitchen is open, with flame and charcoal cooking, and the menu draws on Anatolian and Ottoman flavours. Meze include hummus topped with lamb, hand-rolled pastries with warm feta, and aubergine marinated for 12 hours and baked in tomato sauce. From the grill come chicken and lamb şiş and lamb köfte, and there is a slow-braised lamb shoulder with prunes, apricots and almonds.
It suits a business lunch, after-work drinks and dinner, or breakfast in the City.
