Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Mangal 1 Ocakbasi is another Turkish establishment that’s come to play. Known for its grilled meats and a vibe that feels like a family gathering, this place delivers hearty portions that leave you satisfied. However, it’s not all sunshine and kebabs—expect a bit of a wait during peak hours and don’t be surprised if the atmosphere is lively enough to make your ears ring.
The menu is packed with options, but don’t sleep on the grilled meats. They’re what keep the crowds coming back for more. Just remember: it’s a safe bet, so if you’re a kebab aficionado, this place will keep your cravings in check without any major surprises. Just don’t go expecting a Michelin ambiance; it’s a no-frills affair with all the focus on the food.
