Turkish Cuisine is More Than Just Döner Kebabs — Dining on a Dime

As you head north of London’s city center, you may notice yourself surrounded by a multitude of Turkish restaurants. Named for Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul Restaurant specializes in meat -- lots and lots of meat. Host Lucas Peterson spends this episode of Dining on a Dime: London exploring the ins and outs of the wonderful food of this country.

Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more — it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

I lived in Turkey, in the 70's. Loved the food and culture.

I love these episodes because I live in London and now I can actually try the food for myself. Definitely going to head down to these spots.

I'm so early watching this video that there aren't even Middle Eastern and Balkan people fighting in the comment section yet

Lucas, I've watched all 10 seasons, and have no more :( Your show is awesome and I hope we see many more years to come.

I miss London turkish restaurants. I wish there were decent ones out here in NJ

Istanbul is a good restaurant but if you are still in London may I recommend trying Hala in Harringay Green Lanes. The only place that I know of that does not include doner meat in its mixed grill. Another dish worth trying is Sarma Beyti (lamb not chicken) . It's a pleasure watching your videos.

I have yet to find a Turkish restaurant like this anywhere on the west coast of the USA or Canada. Had this in London years ago and miss this type of Turkish food so much.

Lucas is by far my favorite masticator on YouTube. Nobody chews the way he does. Nobody.

Lucas- "cheers! Thanks for your help"

Server- " fuck off, will you"

OPRF?! High school shirts are always classic. I didn't go there, but I'm from the area and have friends who did. We played you guys every once in a while in sports out of district.

I'd recommend Kervan Sofrasi in Wood Green. Probably the best Turkish food I've had in London. Or even 'Capital', which is a 2 minute walk from Kervan.
