Soup House (Çorbacı)

Area

Edmonton

Edmonton Çorbacısı is a Turkish soup house on Sterling Way in Upper Edmonton, the stretch of the North Circular by Silver Street station. A çorbacı is a dedicated soup shop, a familiar sight in Turkish towns and a welcome one here.

In Turkey, soup is eaten at any hour: for breakfast, as a quick lunch, or after a night out. We couldn’t find a published menu, so check the counter, but a çorbacı normally offers lentil soup alongside heartier, traditional broths, served with bread, lemon and chilli flakes.

It suits a quick, warming meal at any time, including the middle of the night, since it’s listed as open around the clock.

What to order at Edmonton Çorbacısı

With no menu online, these are the classic soups a Turkish çorbacı usually serves. Ask what’s in the pots that day.

• Mercimek çorbası – smooth red lentil soup, served with lemon and bread
• Ezogelin çorbası – lentil and bulgur soup with tomato, mint and red pepper
• Kelle paça – a rich broth made from lamb’s head and trotters, finished with garlic and vinegar
• İşkembe çorbası – tripe soup, a traditional late-night favourite

Atmosphere and good to know

Soup houses are usually simple, quick places where you eat at the counter or a small table, and takeaway is common. Halal status isn’t stated. Lentil soups are often vegetarian, but stock can vary, so ask.

It’s listed as open 24 hours, seven days a week. That’s unusual, so if you’re heading over in the small hours, it’s worth calling first.
