Damak Ocakbaşı is a Turkish ocakbaşı grill at 172 Hertford Road in Enfield Highway, close to the junction with Green Street. An ocakbaşı is built around an open charcoal grill, and damak means ‘palate’ in Turkish.
Expect charcoal-grilled kebabs and meats served with salad, rice and bread, usually after a round of meze. We couldn’t find a published menu when we checked, so the list below sticks to the staples of an ocakbaşı.
It suits a relaxed dinner with family or friends, or a takeaway from the grill.
