Mangal Ocakbasi 2 - London

I was extremely disappointed with this restaurant. The food was below par and the prices were exorbitant. I have never been so let down by a meal before. I don't understand why this place is so popular.

The food at this restaurant is very good, but the main course portions are too small. My partner, who is vegetarian, did not have many options besides fried food and an aubergine dish, which she does not like. The waitress made a mistake with our starter order, but she did not delay the main course, so we ended up receiving both at the same time. The drinks menu is not impressive. Overall, the food is great as long as you are not a vegetarian, but the portions are small and the prices are high.

We went to mangal with my family for lunch. They said there’s no table available when they had 4 seat table near the door. They had 1 person sitting on a table for 6. Rude and bad service very surprised as we been going there for long time .

I arrived at the restaurant alone and found that there were tables available, but I was told they were fully booked because I was dining solo. Eventually, they offered me a table when they realized no one else would be coming in on a weekday. Overall, the experience was terrible and I will not be returning. If a solo woman cannot dine at their restaurant, it speaks volumes about their principles.

Food was good with unusual ingredients and flavour combos. A lot more upmarket than I had been expecting. Lamb was delicious. But portions are small and very expensive. £80 for 2 starters, 1 main and 3 drinks.
