Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Vedin Ltd, or Village Mangal for the locals, is a no-frills Turkish joint that’s been cranking out kebabs like it’s a competition. If you’re after a solid Adana kebab, this place has your back. The staff, including a few familiar faces like Mahadji, bring warmth to the bustling atmosphere where you can BYOB and enjoy a lively dinner without breaking the bank. The humus and sarma are decent too, but let’s be real, you’re here for the meat.
With the decor changing like your favorite playlist but the food staying true to its roots, it’s a solid choice if you want authentic Turkish without the pretentious vibe. Just be ready for tables that hug each other; it's cozy in the best way possible. Don’t forget to bring your bottle of white wine, because nothing pairs better with grilled meats than a little help from the vineyards.
"I have no issue with tables being close together when there’s such a good loud atmosphere."
"The Adana kefde is the best in England."
"Probably my favourite Turkish restaurant in London."
