01 Adana Restaurant is a family run Turkish ocakbasi at 25 to 27 Green Lanes in Newington Green. The charcoal grill is central to the restaurant, bringing smoky depth to meat, fish and vegetables while the kitchen also prepares the comforting dishes associated with a traditional Turkish table. Its broad selection works well for a quick wrap, a generous mixed grill or a relaxed meal shared among friends and family.
Cold meze offer fresh and creamy contrasts through hummus, cacik, aubergine, ezme and other salads and dips. Hot starters include crisp muska boregi, halloumi, calamari, Albanian liver, falafel and sucuk, along with grilled onions that pair especially well with the meat from the charcoal. Ordering several plates gives the table a varied introduction to the kitchen before the main dishes arrive.
Grilled specialities include Adana kofte, lamb shish, chicken shish, chicken wings and lamb ribs, with mixed kebabs bringing several cuts together on one plate. Some kebabs are served with yoghurt and sauce for a richer finish, while grilled fish provides an alternative to the meat led choices. Rice, bread, salad and vegetables complete these substantial plates and balance the heat of the grill.
Pide, lahmacun and gozleme add baked and filled dough dishes to the menu, while daily stews and casseroles offer slower cooked flavours. Vegetarian moussaka, vegetable plates and salads give meat free diners useful options, and traditional desserts provide a sweet conclusion. This combination of meze, bakery dishes and charcoal cookery makes 01 Adana Restaurant a dependable place to explore a wide range of Turkish food.
