Petek Restaurant is a family run Turkish restaurant on Stroud Green Road, serving Eastern Mediterranean food in a cosy and informal setting since 2005. Its neighbourhood dining room is close to Finsbury Park and is well suited to couples, families and groups. The menu encourages sharing but also provides complete individual plates, balancing traditional flavours with a broad choice of meat, fish and vegetable dishes.
Cold meze include hummus, smoky aubergine, kisir, cacık, tarama and beetroot with yoghurt, while hot choices add börek, falafel, grilled halloumi, lamb meatballs and spiced sausage. These smaller plates combine chickpeas, tahini, herbs, yoghurt, pomegranate, olive oil and vegetables in contrasting ways. Groups can order several meze together or use them as an introduction to the charcoal grilled main courses.
Chicken shish, lamb shish, Adana köfte, cutlets and mixed skewers form the centre of the grill selection, often served with rice, salad, aubergine puree, harissa or yoghurt. Fish and king prawns provide alternatives, while clay pot dishes are slowly baked with meat or seafood and vegetables. Dedicated vegetarian and vegan plates, including moussaka and grilled vegetables, give the menu substantial plant based choices.
Petek currently serves dinner from Monday to Friday and opens for both lunch and dinner at the weekend, with earlier service arranged for some Arsenal home games. Reservations are available, walk in guests are welcomed and private weekday lunches can be arranged for larger groups. The full menu below gives the latest meze, grills, fish, clay pot dishes, plant based plates and prices at this Stroud Green restaurant.
