Sumak Crouch End is a family-run Turkish restaurant on Tottenham Lane, between Crouch End Broadway and Hornsey, with a long menu of hot and cold meze, charcoal-grilled kebabs, casseroles and fish. Alongside the classics – Adana, lamb şiş, beyti and lamb chops – it serves dishes you see less often in London, such as Arnavut ciğeri, kulbastı and yoğurtlu paça soup.
The dining room is decorated with tiles and London-themed murals, and the menu describes the food as 100% halal certified. A two-course weekday set lunch (£15.95, 12–4pm) draws a local crowd, and Turkish breakfast and menemen are served from noon until 4pm.
With a kids’ menu, a separate vegetarian section and sharing platters for up to five people, it is an easy choice for families and groups, and there is a wine list for anyone who wants a glass with dinner.
What to order at Sumak
Between the meze list and the specials, these are good places to start:
- Humus Kavurma – hummus topped with pan-fried lamb
- Arnavut Ciğeri – Albanian-style pan-fried lamb’s liver

Atmosphere and good to know
The dining room is bright and airy, with tiled walls and murals of London, and the menu is built for sharing: mixed hot and cold meze plates, and platters for two to five people. A simple kids’ menu makes it straightforward for families.
The food is described as 100% halal certified, and wine is available. Vegetarians and vegans have their own section, including imam bayıldı, falafel and a vegetable casserole. Turkish breakfast and the weekday set lunch run from noon to 4pm. Tables can be booked on the website, and there is a takeaway menu.
