Diyarbakır Kitchen is a family-run Turkish charcoal grill on Grand Parade, Green Lanes, in Harringay, between Manor House and Harringay Green Lanes station. Named after the south-eastern Turkish city, it is one of the street’s long-standing grill houses and has moved into larger premises over the years.
Lahmacun is what many people come back for: thin, crisp at the edges and topped with smoky minced lamb. Beyond that the menu runs from meze and daily soups such as mercimek and paça to pide, charcoal-grilled şiş and adana, and chef’s specials including İskender, Ali Nazik and Halep kebab. Homemade mantı and içli köfte add some home-style cooking.
With long opening hours and plenty of tables, it suits a casual dinner, a big family gathering or a late meal after a night out.
