Turkish & Middle Eastern in Leicester

London Road is where a lot of this happens. Etci Baba does halal Turkish charcoal grill and dry-aged steaks there, with a large dine-in room near the station and its own parking, and Konak is close by on the same road, doing Turkish charcoal grill and meze with a kids menu category in its online shop. Nearer the centre, Antalya Mezze BBQ serves Turkish mezze and grilled plates but only in the afternoons and evenings, no weekday lunches. Emre, on St Barnabas Road, does charcoal dry-aged steaks and fusion plates on evenings from Tuesday to Sunday. For something further out, Lara Restaurant & Bar in Anstey has a kids menu and hummus both from £7.95, plus free parking and vegetarian options, which makes it an easy one to plan around if you are eating with children. If you need halal, Antalya and Etci Baba both have it. For wheelchair access, Etci Baba is your one. Check opening times before you go, since a few of these only serve later in the day.
