WHERE

Leicester

What it’s like

Turkish mezze and grilled BBQ plates, open afternoons and evenings only, with no lunch service on weekdays.

This is a mezze and BBQ spot, so the meal here is built around sharing plates and things off the grill rather than a quick sit-down starter and main. If you fancy going with the kids, you're looking at an afternoon or evening trip rather than lunch, since the doors don't open until 2pm Monday to Friday. Weekends are a bit kinder, with things starting at 1pm and running later, until 11pm.

That late weekday opening is worth knowing before you plan around it. If your family routine runs on an early tea, a Monday to Friday visit here means waiting until mid-afternoon at the earliest, which won't suit everyone with younger children used to eating on the early side. Weekends give you a bit more flexibility either side of the usual lunch slot.

There's no booking link listed, so it looks like a turn-up sort of place rather than one where you reserve a table in advance. Worth bearing that in mind if you're heading over at a popular time on a Saturday night, when a mezze and grill spot like this could well be busy.

What kind of food is it?

Turkish mezze and BBQ, so sharing plates and grilled dishes rather than a standard menu of starters and mains.
