Baran Restaurant is a Turkish charcoal grill at 748 Finchley Road in Golders Green. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner in a casual setting, while takeaway and delivery extend the same cooking across the surrounding area. Halal meat, gluten free options and a varied vegetarian selection allow groups with different preferences to order comfortably.
Hot and cold starters introduce classic combinations of vegetables, pulses, yoghurt, cheese and herbs. Hummus, cacik, aubergine dishes, falafel and halloumi can be ordered individually or gathered into a shared meze. Freshly cut salad and warm bread add crispness and balance before the more substantial dishes from the charcoal grill.
Kebabs are the main focus, with chicken and lamb cooked over charcoal to build a smoky surface while retaining moisture. Kofte, shish, mixed grills and yoghurt based kebab dishes offer different textures and seasonings. Rice, vegetables and salads accompany the meat, and generous mixed plates provide an easy choice for diners who want to compare several specialities.
Fresh fish gives the menu an alternative to the kebabs, while vegetarian dishes can form a complete meal of their own. Turkish sweets and hot drinks provide a traditional finish. Baran combines the direct appeal of charcoal cooking with a broad neighbourhood restaurant menu, serving individual diners, families and larger groups from its Finchley Road dining room.
