OTE(Original Turkish Eatery) is a casual Turkish restaurant at 45 Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia. Its name stands for Original Turkish Eatery, reflecting the tradition of esnaf restaurants that serve freshly prepared everyday food in an informal setting. The concise dining room works particularly well for a quick lunch, relaxed dinner or convenient takeaway.
Customisable boxes and bowls allow diners to choose a base, main dish, salads and sauces to suit their appetite. Köfte, chicken, slow cooked beef and vegetable combinations sit beside ready assembled Anatolian and vegan options. This flexible format introduces the varied tastes of Turkish home cooking without requiring a formal multi course meal.
Traditional stews, kuru fasulye, İzmir köfte and other daily dishes bring together tomato, peppers, pulses, meat and gentle spice. Pide and lahmacun add freshly baked alternatives, while meze such as cacık, courgette pancakes and bulgur salad provide cooling or colourful accompaniments. Flatbread helps turn the smaller plates into a complete shared meal.
Vegetarian, vegan and halal choices are integrated across the menu, making OTE accessible to groups with different preferences. Baklava offers a familiar sweet finish, accompanied by ayran, Turkish gazoz and other soft drinks. The combination of regional recipes, seasonal ingredients and quick service gives this Charlotte Street restaurant a distinctive place among Fitzrovia's lunch options.
