Ottoman Turkish Cuisine is a Mediterranean restaurant at 193 Fulham Palace Road in Hammersmith. Its dining room offers a relaxed setting for Turkish food prepared around a visible charcoal grill, while takeaway service gives local customers another way to enjoy the same broad menu.
Meals can begin with hot and cold mezze such as hummus, cacik, aubergine salad, grilled halloumi, falafel, börek and içli köfte. These dishes bring together yoghurt, herbs, vegetables, pulses and pastry, and they can be ordered individually or as a mixed selection for the table.
Charcoal grilled meat is the centrepiece, with chicken and lamb shish, Adana köfte, wings, chops and mixed grills served with rice and salad. Kebabs with yoghurt and tomato sauce provide a richer alternative, while grilled sea bass, prawns and calamari extend the menu beyond meat.
Vegetarian dishes and salads make it easier to build a balanced group meal, and baklava or another Turkish sweet gives the dinner a traditional finish. The combination of smoky grill cooking, shareable starters and generous platters works equally well for a family meal or an informal dinner with friends.
