Kapak is a modern Turkish neighbourhood restaurant at 106 Coombe Lane in Raynes Park. Chef Levent Lenny draws on traditional Turkish cooking while presenting the food in an upbeat contemporary setting. Open fire cooking is central to the kitchen, filling the dining room with the aromas of charcoal, spice and freshly grilled ingredients.
Meze and sharing plates encourage the table to begin with several tastes rather than a single starter. Fresh vegetables, herbs, yoghurt, pulses and warm bread create a colourful introduction with creamy, smoky and bright flavours. The format works equally well as a light meal or as the opening to a larger dinner shared between friends and family.
Charcoal grilled kebabs form an important part of the menu, with carefully seasoned meat cooked over open heat for a tender centre and lightly bitter char. Lamb, chicken, fish and vegetables give diners a varied route through the grill. Saffron, aromatic spices and seasonal produce add depth without hiding the character of the main ingredients.
The bar offers wine, beer and cocktails, including Turkish bottles that complement the grilled dishes and meze. Expert prepared shisha is also part of Kapak's relaxed evening atmosphere. Together, the sharing food, open fire cooking and welcoming service make the restaurant a distinctive place to experience the sociable spirit of Turkish dining in Raynes Park.
