Harringay & Green Lanes

Hala Restaurant is a family-run Turkish restaurant on Green Lanes in Harringay, the heart of London’s Turkish food scene, open since 2002. It has grown from a small grill into one of the busiest dining rooms on the strip, spread across two shopfronts at 29-31 Grand Parade.

Hala is a safe first stop if you are new to Turkish food: the menu covers charcoal-grilled kebabs, home-style stews, stone-baked breads and a full Turkish breakfast, and it stays open until 2am every night.

What to order at Hala Restaurant

Come hungry and share. The kitchen is best known for its grills and dough dishes, and portions are generous. Good dishes to start with:

• Mixed kebab platter – lamb shish, chicken shish, Adana and köfte over rice and salad, ideal for two or more
• Mantı – small hand-made dumplings with garlic yoghurt and chilli butter
• Ali nazik – grilled lamb on smoky aubergine and yoghurt purée
• Lahmacun and gözleme – thin, crisp flatbreads and hand-rolled filled pastry
• Hummus kavurma – hummus topped with sautéed lamb
• Künefe or baklava with Turkish tea to finish

Atmosphere and good to know

The dining room is large and lively, with wood and brick interiors, and it works well for families and groups. High chairs and a kids’ menu are available, and weekend evenings get busy, so it is worth booking for larger tables.

Breakfast is served from 10am to 4pm, which makes Hala a good choice for a long Turkish brunch on Green Lanes. Takeaway can be ordered online.
