Skewers Mangal Victoria is a Turkish charcoal grill and kebab house on Vauxhall Bridge Road, on the stretch between Victoria and Pimlico. It works as a sit-down restaurant and a takeaway, and it’s a handy option for anyone living or working around Victoria & Pimlico who wants grilled meat without heading north to the big ocakbaşı streets.

The cooking is built around the mangal, the Turkish charcoal grill. Kebabs are the core of the menu: döner from the spit, lamb and chicken şiş, and other grilled meats served with bread, salad and rice. Burgers are on the menu too, which helps if someone in the group isn’t in a kebab mood.

It suits a quick weeknight dinner, a takeaway on the way home from Victoria station, or a casual meal with friends.

What to order at Skewers Mangal Victoria

Start with something straight off the charcoal. These are dishes the restaurant is known to serve:

Döner kebab – seasoned meat sliced from the vertical spit, wrapped in bread or served as a plate with rice and salad
Kuzu şiş – cubes of marinated lamb threaded on skewers and grilled over charcoal
Tavuk şiş – marinated chicken skewers, a lighter pick from the grill
Burger – a non-kebab option for anyone who wants something simpler
