King's Cross

FIRIN King’s Cross is a Turkish restaurant on York Way built around a wood-fired oven. The name means “oven” in Turkish, and almost everything on the menu passes through it, from bubbling pide to slow-cooked clay-pot dishes.

The cooking draws on southern Turkey, and the bright room with an open kitchen makes it a relaxed choice for lunch near King’s Cross or a casual dinner before a train.

What to order at FIRIN

The oven is the star, so order something baked and something slow-cooked:

• Pide – boat-shaped Turkish flatbread, such as cheese or spiced minced meat (Develi style)
• Lahmacun – thin, crisp flatbread with spiced lamb, rolled with salad and lemon
• Tandır kebab – slow-cooked lamb that falls apart with a fork
• Oven-baked sea bass and clay-pot stews
• Babaganoush and other meze, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices
• Baklava or sütlaç (Turkish rice pudding) for dessert
