Tas Firin Restaurant is a long established Turkish dining room at 160 Bethnal Green Road. The charcoal grill stands at the heart of the kitchen, filling the restaurant with the aroma of meat, fish and vegetables cooking over fire. Indoor and outdoor tables, late weekend hours and generous sharing plates make it suitable for quick lunches, family dinners and relaxed evening gatherings.
Cold meze range from hummus and cacik to bulgur wheat kisir, stuffed vine leaves, smoked aubergine yoghurt and green beans cooked in olive oil. Hot starters bring falafel, feta pastries, halloumi, courgette fritters, lamb liver, calamari and prawns in chilli garlic butter. Mixed selections gather several dishes together with warm bread so that a table can explore contrasting textures before the grill.
Chicken shish, lamb shish, Adana kofte, beyti, wings, chops and ribs form the core of the main courses. Combination skewers and large Tas Firin platters simplify ordering for groups, while yoghurt and Halep sauce transform selected kebabs into richer plates. Clay pan dishes combine lamb, chicken or prawns with tomato, peppers, onion and garlic, and homemade manti offers small meat filled pastries with yoghurt.
Whole sea bream, sea bass and salmon provide alternatives to the meat grill. Lahmacun, wraps, stuffed aubergine, vegetable casserole, falafel and vegetarian meze broaden the choice further. Rice, salad and bread complete many dishes, while Turkish beer and wine accompany the food before a traditional dessert, tea or coffee brings the meal to a close.
