Fez Mangal

This is a very nice restaurant steps away from the Ladbroke Grove Tube Station. It is lively, the food is excellent, the service is great, and I promise you can’t stop eating. Everything is good. The prices are reasonable, and you can’t find fresher ingredients anywhere at these prices.
If you have never tried Turkish food, it is a really good place to have your first experience.

Omg I love this place. Everything they do tastes amazing. I’ve never eaten in but I’ve tried quite a few things and they were all fresh and you can tell they use good quality ingredients. I’m a regular

Amazing food. Nice ambience. Reasonable rates. Definitely one of the best meal places in the locality.

Quickly become a new favourite place in town. Good quality food. The flavours in every dish are amazing. (And I’ve tried a lot of the menu now!)
The staff are very friendly for how busy they are and the value is really good bearing in mind the level of food you actually get,
Also lots of healthy options so great for takeout after work when you don’t want something greasy or heavy.
Sometimes eat here 3 times a week!

There are few times you enter a restaurant and just go ‘WOW’! This was DEFINITELY one of those times. We were touring from California and didn’t know the area very well and from the review on Unilocal,the restaurant looked like a shady hole in the wall. Upon arrival, however, we came to find a gigantic crowd around the small entrance. We pushed through and they got to us right away, seating us within twenty minutes because of all of the people. The wall décor had chillies hanging in the window and you could see and smell that magical grill where the most aromatic lamb was sizzling.
Though it took a while for the order to come in, the eggplant salad was cooked perfectly and seasoned even better, and it melted in your mouth. Everything was soooo fresh and wonderful. Honestly, it almost made me be a vegetarian how incredible the Greek and Aubergine salads tasted. That is, until the meat came. OMG the combo kebab made me want to have a bottomless stomach so I could keep eating forever! The meat was so juicy and tender and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a bite of heaven! This place is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to, and I HIGHLY recommend it to both tourists and locals, vegetarians and meat-​lovers, and anyone else who appreciates good food!

Amazing! Authentic Turkish cuisine. Prices are also incredible for London standards. Service was good and quick, we booked a table so didn’t have to queue but after we left there were about 7 people queuing. I’d suggest booking a table if you go during the weekend.

Been to Fez Mangal a few times before and stopped in on Friday for a cheeky Chicken Donna to take away. I was not disappointed. One of the best Donner Kebabs to take away in London. I’ve previously had a mixed grill to eat in. And it was outstanding. Portion size is perfect, and the rice makes the dish and ties it all together. The staff are always smiling and über efficient. Keep up the good work and worth popping in if you can. Not had a chance to try the Meza but maybe next time. Go you will love it!

Have been working my way through the menu since I’ve moved to the area and have not once been disappointed with the quality of the food.
Absolutely everything has been fresh and delicious. I recommend the ‘Cop Shish’ — not seen it anywhere else but is slightly fattier cubes of lamb than a regular shish. Divine!
Have eaten in a couple of times soon and service was efficient and helpful. Do not agree with some reviewers who complain they were hurried — it is not a restaurant designed for lengthy diners, they have a lot of customers and it is not fair on the others! Certainly not a suitable place for a wedding anniversary…

Yum Falafel and baklava. The place is super clean with lots of variety of dishes. Eat in or take-​away.
The flavour is really great, however, I must say that the wrap seems to be very very powdery! It honestly gets every where! I don’t know what it is but it’s like micro sand powder texture on the wrap and it’s quite annoying to keep brushing it away!

Possibly the worst dining experience ever. The food was ok but they brought our check after just 30 minutes, and then asked us to leave as they had a party of four to seat. How unbelievably rude and I suspect perhaps racist. Spoiled the meal and the evening. We will never return. Further, I will relate this to everyone I know.

The meat is better than most, amazingly tender and the salad that comes with a kebab portion is quite nice — julienned beets, carrots, and some arugula rather than the typical iceberg-​tomato-​cucumber that comes default elsewhere. The lamb shish was golden and flavorful, ungreasy, non-​chewy. Drizzled with the yogurt and spicy sauces at the table, I was scooping every last bit off the plate by the end.
Only complaint is the curse of all good places. It’s obviously popular for the above-​par quality of food, which means the service is spotty during the manic dinner hour. Waitresses are squeezing around the tiny space with baskets of warm bread, dips, and heaping piles of meat coming off the grill like a factory. If you’re not in a rush, the randomness of the service won’t bother you: it’s BYOB, so it’s really not hard to be patient: you’ll want a little downtime to get through that bottle (or two) of cheap wine from the convenience store up the street!

First of all, for all international travelers, this place does not take credit cards. They take only debit cards that require pins. So do not get misguided.
Having said that, as you can see from my star rating, I LOVE THIS PLACE! It is delicious and awesomely priced. I had the lamb shish (kebab) as some people recommended. I absolutely loved the tender and juicy lamb blocks. I also did try the baklavas, and it was wonderfully fresh and tasty. The baklavas arrived even warm still. I highly recommend this place around London. Have to come visit. I for sure will be returning a second time if not more!

Best and most wallet friendly restaurant in Notting Hill area. Can’t recommend enough. Try their jogortlu shish.

This was the first restaurant we tried in London, and it may be the last. It’s that good. We’ve been in town 2 days and have eaten there both days. I’ve gotten the meze appetizer both times. It is wonderful. It occupies 4 corners of a plate with each corner a different delicious delight: hummus, cous cous, tabouli, and spicy red vegetable relish. This was served with a beyond delicious made on the spot Turkish flatbread. I made little tacos with the items in the fatbread, all mixed. Wow! And I LOVE their fresh healthy turkish salad. The squares of cheese in there are feta like and much better than any feta I’ve had before.

Brilliant every single time — probably the best tasting meat in the Notting Hill Area. LOVE IT!

My favorite Turkish restaurant in London. The menu is really, really simple. If believe there are just 10 items on the entire menu. And I love it. Very Turkish, very nice. Bring your own bottle of wine /​beer (cork charge is GBP 1,50) and the food is prepared right in front of you at a charcoal grill. Good options for vegetarians too. This place is always packed, but somehow they always manage to find you a table within 5, max 10 minutes. Best part is simply the atmosphere, proper neighborhood hangout. Almost a pub. Except for that’s a really nice Turkish restaurant. Also: prices are very, very decent.

This is an absolutely terrific Turkish kebab shop near the Ladbroke Grove tube.
The other reviews do justice to the food– I can only add that the chicken beyti is (imho) a little better than the lamb, and that a good deal is to get an extra skewer of grilled tomatos and peppers (only 1 pound if you’re getting takeaway!).

‘Fez Mangal’ is a fairly recent but VERY popular Turkish BBQ restaurant in Ladbroke Grove.
I opted for a mixed doner which is only available in large for £5.50. A medium of either chicken or lamb will set you back only £4.
The lamb was obviously good quality. Juicy, tender and not too fatty. It was a tad mild to my liking but some may prefer the subtler spicing.
The chicken was also top notch.
The wrap was paper thin and a little too stiff.
The salad consisted of red cabbage, onions & diced cucumber. It was nice but loses marks for lack of variety.
The garlic sauce was a good one.
The chilli sauce was OK but despite asking for «lots» there was not enough of it.
The service was fast, even though the place was very busy on this Wednesday evening in September.
Most of the other take-​away customers were opting for the skewered kebabs.
This fine establishment lacks some of the greatness that make ‘Best Mangal’ my all time favourite ocakbasi and is also a little behind ‘Ottoman’ & ‘Woody Grill’ in my personal opinion.
However, don’t get me wrong, ‘Fez Mangal’ is the best thing to happen to Ladbroke Grove in a long time.
The locals are understandably flocking to this place and unlike North End Road or Stoke Newington there is only ONE Turkish Grill in the area.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

WOW. I am so happy this place is located so close to me. I was expecting the usual fare which they have of course but the food for the most part was amazing. I was disappointed by their lentil soup. It was a bit thin and the flavors were not very complex.
The grilled fish though… amazing! I picked every tender piece of white flesh off and wished I had more. It was perfectly grilled on the outside and soft and moist inside. Just a tiny splash of lemon and bam… all sorts of deliciousness!
Kebabs as expected. also delicious.
When you walk in you see the grill fired up and kebabs ready to be devoured. Very cool place.

I love this spot. This is my local secret — this is where I go to meet neighborhood friends and dish about the day. They are efficient, clean, and have a BYOB policy. Could I be more happy? I’m the sort of girl that loves to rock up with a nice bag of wine in my handbag.
The food is perfect after a long day. My favorite is the grilled Sea Bream, and the Lamb Kabab, both perfectly flavored and delicious. The chicken wings are also delicious, and the other night I saw someone get the lamb chops and was practically salivating. The appitizer 4 dipping sauce special is great, and honestly, this place has the best baklava I’ve ever had.
Draw backs, its a little tight, and you have to sit relatively close to other customers, but it has never stopped me. I’m in here at least once a week if not 2 nights.
Don’t miss this spot. Gem.
