Kervan Sofrasi Southgate is a Turkish restaurant on Chase Side, a few minutes from Southgate station. It is one of the branches of the Kervan Sofrasi group, which also has restaurants in Edmonton, Wood Green and Muswell Hill. The kitchen opens at 8am and runs until late, so it covers everything from breakfast to dinner.

Mornings are about Turkish breakfast and egg dishes like menemen and sucuklu yumurta. Later in the day the menu turns to charcoal-grilled kebabs, a wide spread of hot and cold meze and comforting soups such as mercimek and paça. A local review of the group mentions complimentary bread, dips and Turkish tea with the meal.

It is a good fit for families, groups of friends and anyone after a long weekend breakfast in Southgate.

Atmosphere and good to know

This is a sit-down restaurant with a children’s menu, so it works well for families. There are plenty of vegetarian choices among the meze, including falafel, halloumi, kısır and stuffed vine leaves. Halal status isn’t stated, so check with the staff.

Delivery and takeaway are available through the main apps. It is open until midnight most nights, which makes it useful for a later dinner, and booking ahead is sensible for weekend breakfast.
