Petek in North London has a great local reputation for its authentic Turkish and Lebanese cuisine. If you enjoy classically inspired Middle Eastern dishes then this is certainly a restaurant worth travelling the extra mile for. Locals flock here at the weekends, giving the restaurant a friendly and inviting atmosphere.

All of the dishes are made with fresh ingredients and the menu includes starters of warm flat-breads with spicy flavoured dips before moving on to huge main portions of chargrilled meats. These included lamb shish kebab or perhaps a vegetarian equivalent with halloumi, red peppers, mushrooms and rocket salad.

It has a cosy ambiance with an interior akin to a Turkish living room, decked out with Turkish hanging lamps, colourful cushions and low tables. They also have an al fresco dining area for the warmer months. The service is efficient and polite, which adds the finishing touch to a great meal.
