Discover Mangal 2, Dalston's beloved Turkish grill institution. Tuck into confident, flavourful ocakbasi cooking before spilling out into the neighbourhood's buzzing bars and nightlife.
Reasons to go
Full description
Mangal 2 sits in Dalston, an area reviewers describe as genuinely buzzing on a night out, and the restaurant itself has built a loyal following around confident, flavourful Turkish grill cooking. One reviewer travelled from York specifically to eat there and still rates the experience years later, which speaks to the kind of destination status it's earned locally.
At 4.2 stars, mid-range pricing, and a strong local score, it suits a lively evening out — dinner with a partner or group before exploring the surrounding bars and nightlife. It's less about fine-dining polish and more about genuinely good grilled food in an atmospheric setting.

Reviews
Had a great time again, one of those spots you just keep going back to. Food was exceptional as always, but the service this time was even better. Georgia properly looked after us. Our table got pushed back a bit, but she handled it so well and made sure the whole experience still felt spot on. Will 100% be back…
