Rakkas is a Turkish restaurant and lounge on Green Lanes, at the Finsbury Park end of the Harringay strip. It is a bigger night out than the grill houses around it, with a cocktail bar, a Mediterranean-leaning menu and entertainment at weekends.
The à la carte starts with hot and cold meze, then moves through lamb şiş, Turkish kebabs and fish plates such as sea bass, alongside steaks and a few pastas and burgers. There is a weekend brunch with sucuk, cheeses and grilled vegetables, and desserts include baklava with ice cream, künefe and katmer.
It suits a birthday, a group celebration or a lively Friday night out on Green Lanes.

Atmosphere and good to know
Rakkas describes its food as halal. The bar serves signature cocktails, mocktails, wine and rakı, plus Turkish tea and coffee. Fire dancers and magicians perform from Friday to Sunday, so weekends are busy and booking is recommended. Vegetarians can build a meal from the meze.
The à la carte menu starts from 2pm on weekdays and 3:30pm at weekends, when the morning is given over to brunch. Takeaway and delivery are also available.
Rakkas opening hours
Monday to Friday: 14:00–00:00; Saturday and Sunday: 11:00–00:00. Hours can change on bank holidays, so check with the restaurant before you travel.
