Best Mangal in Hammersmith and Fulham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A place worth recommending, run with ideas, good quality of meals. The food is not artificial, so it may not seem as perfect as in "chain" places.

Ate here last on 9th September 2022. Returned today (04/08/24) still excellent food and service. We must've come here at least 20 times in our life and can't recall even one occasion when we had a bad mealbir bad service, consistently high food & service. Perhaps that's why this place continously trades?! Thank you to all the serving team.

Best turkish restaurant. I always go with my family and they never dissapoint

Must try 👌👌 best turkish food in town

Such a lovely place with amazing food. I will definitely keep coming back during my future trips to London.

What a find , don t be put off by the shop at the front as it opens out into a lovely little restaurant at the back ,with a garden , superb food and great friendly staff , had a chicken shish it was wonderful,beautifly cooked . Complementary tea and balaclava after all in all a 5 star experience, just wish I d taken photos 😳❤️

1st visit Had a nice lunch , only a few other diners in Staff were helpful,food was good

In brief: I used to come here consistently during these 10 years still the old same old same. Service was great. One of the best Turkish restaurants in London. Really worth the visit. Overall: 9.2/10. Recommendations: Cold Starters to share ⭐️ Adana Kebab ⭐️⭐️ Chicken or Lamb Iskander ⭐️ Useful summary: I have been coming frequently for 10 years, it still maintains its standard, the service is excellent, and it is worth a visit for its honesty. One of the best Turkish restaurants in London.

Very good Turkish food and friendly staff!

Used to frequent this place during student days. Has only gotten better 8 years on. Fabulous meze, kebabs. and pilav.

Food was amazing but the portion was small for the price we payed

I was on vacation in London with my family and I found this restaurant that already smelled good from the outside, everything was very delicious and my English was not very good but they did their best to understand me. Everything is very delicious, if I come back I will go again.

Had a delicious meal with the family today. Been coming for years and always enjoy a delicious meal. Their renovated restaurant design is might brighter, modern and feels more spacious. Overall 10/10 family meal or even for a quick sandwich

The food is excellent and tasty. I've lost count of the number of times I've come to this place and what I love is that neither the food nor the customer service goes below standard. We have celebrated birthdays, mother's and father's days here and I come because we are sure that my family and the people I invite will be satisfied and happy.

I eat food at this restaurant they have delicious food and amazing service.

Very delicious kebas, very nice staff. I went 2 times. They invited us to tea the first time and a dessert the second time.

I came here with my family the other day and I must say it was the best Turkish food I had and the service was excellent too. I would highly recommend Best Mangal 1996.

My mother came here with a friend the other day while visiting London from a recommendation from her taxi driver. The food was so good she made me go again with her last night! We had the starter platter, the meat platter, the lamb sote with lots of bread and rice. Everything was delicious, fresh and the service from Dilek and Mehmet was outstanding. They gave me a voucher for a free bottle of house wine so I will definitely come back to claim it but even without it, it’s a new favourite in West Kensington for me. See you guys soon and thank you very much.

We have been been coming here since 1997 and it is our absolute favourite — practically family. Best grill in town!

Excellent evening, delicious food and warm welcome. Many thanks.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Quick friendly service, very tasty food. Atmosphere was fun and pleasant, Turkish music playing which was not too loud. The best baklava I've ever eaten.

Poor food and exaggerated prices We got a Tava, which is supposed to be a stew but had little meat, a lot of onion and little flavour. A kind of heated mussaka and an appetizer. On the other hand, we spent a lot in London, £40 each. Maybe the grilled meat is better but I would say it's not worth coming back to try

A true gem for Turkish food in London, for anyone who appreciates high quality produce, Turkish food and amazing professional service in a renowned family owned restaurant. The Meze platter is one of the best I have ever tasted, so fresh and tasty. Baris, the manager of the restaurant and his highly trained staff members are so attentive and where so helpful when deciding what we would order off the extensive menu listing. I highly recommend and have booked in twice in June already. You won't regret your visit to Best Mangal 1996...enjoy!

Not worth it to pay 45£ for this! Cold and basic Never again

A true gem for Turkish food in London, for anyone who appreciates high quality produce, Turkish food and amazing professional service in a renowned family owned restaurant.

Sadly didn't get as far as ordering. Couldn't get over the price of a single bottle of beer £7. When asked how much of we brought out own drink.... £15!! I get that its London, it's expensive, but this is not Mayfair. Couldn't bring myself to be so openly robbed . Staff were fine though and the food looked amazing. If you have money to burn, I'm sure this would have been lovely.

Really nice and chilled. Service was friendly welcoming. From the outside you'll think it's just your average Turkish takeaway, but there's a lovely little seating resturant out back!

The chicken beyti was nice and the waiters were very friendly.

Hearty, fast service, super nice servers.....in short...I recommend 200%

there is no rating as i have not received and until i messaged you i would not of know there was an issue also your response to emails is poor your service to dat has been awful

Had an amazing experience. I had the mixed donner platter which was full of flavours. Definitely recommend, the best Shawarma in London!

Loved the lamb kebab, enjoyed it

Clean, friendly, the food was well prepared and good. Reasonable priced.

Amazing food. Generous portions! Good quality. Even better than food I’ve experienced in Turkey! Loved it, thanks!

Working in the industry myself I know exactly how it works And I have to say the guy that served me the last two times which I thought he was the owner but he is isn't Is incredibly amazing 👏 and last night he remembered me from previous time and the daughter of the owner was there and she changed my thoughts in a good way from my first visit there 👋👋

A great place for a little take away ! Lovely people !

Such little amount for £26 i hoped to share with my husband not e enough rice but meat was seasoned well

The food was so fresh and tasty. Everything was seasoned well and all the meats were juicy. Definitely coming back. The desserts and tea were excellent as well. Dilek our server was kind and funny.

Nice place to eat. Good service and food

Please refrain from labeling a dish as "Yayla" when it doesn't align with the authentic recipe. It seems to be a mixture of leftovers combined with cream, rather than the traditional yogurt-based soup.

Best kebap in London everything was perfect. This is the original Best Kebap!

I was a bit disappointed with this restaurant. Quite expensive and average portions. Taste just ok. The delivery was fast.

Easily the best turkish restaurant in london. The outside was deceptively old looking but going to the back opens a beautiful modern and sky lit dining space . I had the lamb shish, hummous dip with turkish bread and baclava. All amazing and fresh. Will come back for sure

الاكل جيد جدا .. والاسعار لا بأس بها

Nice place, tasty food and very friendly and professional staff!

بست منقل مطعم تركي ، الأكل لذيذ واللحوم طازجة ، الخدمة سريعة ، ترحيب بالزبائن ،

Food lacked traditional flavour but costly

Best kebab I ever had in UK. Comparable on same level with turkish food in Berlin... absolutely amazing :) (obviously outside Turkey)

The quality went down, I went there few times but last time I was so disappointed. I bring 10 friends to eat there this time, we ordered organic italian wine, the waiter bring a Turkish wine, as soon as he left the wine in the table we discovered the error, we ask to change the wine as this was not the wine we ask to him, WE DIDN’T DRINK IT AT ALL. He came and changed the wine, with the italian organic, at the end of the dinner the wrong wine was in the bill, he didn’t want to remove it because he opened already the bottle, the waiter came to us in rude way and started to argue for this wine in front of everyone. At that point I said to him I will pay the bottle. Shame this restaurants was nice before, I didn’t appreciate how they treat us and not one in the table did. Never again !

A couple of weeks ago, I booked a table for lunch at this restaurant for yesterday (Tuesday 19 December) - only to turn up to discover the place was closed. The staff first suggested that I had booked a different venue (I hadn’t) and were entirely unapologetic as to the circumstances. At the time of booking, I provided a telephone number that could have been used to update me on the situation, but wasn’t. Obviously, I can’t comment on the quality of the food as none was forthcoming, but I shall certainly avoid this establishment in the future.

經過門口會被烤肉的香氣吸引,晚上用餐時間需要排隊等待、因為都是現點、現烤的美味、非常值得等待！ 米飯很特別、但是不硬、有股香氣！ 烤肉的部分不用多說明、看隨意拍的照片應該也能感受到有多好吃吧！ 薯條也炸的剛剛好、不乾柴、不軟爛、一上桌就被搶食光光！ 份量非常多、不用擔心吃不飽、滿滿的一大盤比臉大的份量！ 總之、遲來的評論，非常美味，若有機會再去倫敦，必會再次光臨的難得美味！ 100分！！

Good quality, tasty food and portion size. Well packaged as well.

Excellent waiters very polite and friendly Food is always Excellent 10/10 I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Turkish food. This is the best.

Turkish kebab joint with great kebab selections. The taste of the kebabs are very close to the ones you could find in Turkey. The soups, salads and deserts are also delicious. It's a bit expensive though.

One of the best services, super delicious food, kind and hospitable service !!! Highly recommeendeeddd !!!

Absolutely expansive for nothing very small pieces of chicken and lamb for only 2 skewers? 20 pound !!!!!! at lest make bigger pieces for that price I been to Turkish restaurants a lot I never see this In central London are cheap and bigger plates

Best Adana kebab, lamb shish (çöp şiş) and chicken in London. You won’t be disappointed it. The service was also 10/10.

I tried today at Best Mangal, really enjoyed the delicious food & welcomed by friendly staff, yummy & healthy grilled food, “strongly recommended”

Nice place and cultural music. Food was very good and filling. I would recommend the chicken shish as it was very nice

My go to place for Turkish cuisine

Utter class act. The food is so good, the wait staff don't need to come and ask if everything is ok, because it's always perfect. Open early till late, friendly and the whole kitchen etc is spotlessly clean and very organized.

Tiny portion, average kebab. Not ordering again from here.

Great email communication when I booked a table for 18. We were all seated together. Very attentive staff, very relaxed atmosphere and most importantly delicious food. Thank you! I highly recommend them.

The absolute best kebab you'll find. I lived around the corner from this place for 3 years and it was our favourite spot!

Great food & great service. Been a favourite for many years now and they have also started doing cocktails 😍😊

Food not edible burnt to a crisp had to leave my lunch. I had a mixed kebab, lamb and chicken as I said I left that. The starter was a hot meze very bland. Would not recommend anyone to go there now. Been before much better, seems as if they are lost what used to be a good place for eating

I visited this establishment very often, but today was the last time. Terrible in one word. Prices are understandable, everyone is chasing them, but the price must match. I took Best with me, a few pieces for the company, when they started unpacking and eating. This is a mess: the pita bread is in one layer, it’s not clear how the vegetables are heated, the pita bread is cold, the shawarma is half as big as before.

Popped in last night on the way to a gig, had Lamb Shish and Chicken Shish Wraps, really really delicious.. 💪💪

The best Turkish Restaurant in London! I have been coming here for years and the quality of meat, as well as the service has always been excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes the Turkish Cuisine, I can assure you that you will fall in love with Best Mangal 1996!

We are tourists from the US and are not familiar with Turkish restaurants, but our friend recommended this restaurant and we had a wonderful experience. We had the sampling platter and humus and it was all wonderful and a good choice. Also tried the Turkish wine and enjoyed that as well. The restaurant is notably clean and they grill on charcoal just by the front door. So good!

Very expensive for what it is to be honest. They didnt put the chilli and garlic sauce, a portion of fries is like £4 so I was expecting nice fries but honestly they had a weird taste on them. Just so underwhelming. Pay £20 less and go to the Grill House and Pizza you get way more food and its just tastier. Im so disappointed in this place as it was my first time going and just felt there was no love in the food at all.

The food is not tasty, the portions are very small and the price and quality do not match! There is a very poor service!

V nice place however, I recently went there to grab a lamb wrap.. I unfortunately ended up having food poisoning. Looks like the meat must have been there for some time. Otherwise, very polite and nice workers.

Even though I paid for it, they sent me an incomplete order. When I talked to the company, unfortunately they did nothing to solve my problem.

one of the best turkish restaurants in south london

Friendly staff :) This place is my absolute favourite! Food and service is top tier. I’d recommend anyone to go.

Been coming here for close to 15 years. Always top Turkish food with amazing prices and nice homely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Food was great although the portions were smaller in relation to the price

Amazing everything. Delicious food and friendly staff

Best food and good service have been here many times never disappointed

Wonderful, authentic Turkish food. Drinks expensive, £11 for 2 small bottles of Efes and £19.50 for 3 small glasses of wine. Service good.

They don’t respect what you order - Ordered on Deliveroo - they ignored my selection for the filling for my wrap , filling it with salad including cucumber which causes me to vomit

Wonderful staff, lovely quiet restaurant,

Incredible food, much better than the Turkish restaurants I’ve ever been. Staff was absolutely lovely and the place was clean.

I went to Mangal before attending the Queen’s final. After my trip, I considered lobbying the club to recommend it as the restaurant of choice for all pre tennis dining. The food was sensational and the service (from the founder’s son) top notch. A key example of this is me walking at 1208, having suffered from the extreme heat (being hot in Britain vs. on holiday are two different things entirely) and saying loudly to my friend ‘I need a beer’. The team did not enquire further on this, but by the time I had said my hellos I had the beer and it tasted like the sweetest nectar ever made. The food was also spectacular. I do not often have Turkish food (which after this experience, I have realised is a grave mistake on my part), but will be returning and recommending this place to everyone I know.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Best Mangal 1996 in West Kensington, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was captivated by its warm and inviting ambience. The attentive staff greeted me with a smile and promptly seated me in a comfortable setting. The decor exuded an authentic Turkish charm, with tasteful touches that created an immersive dining atmosphere. The star of the show, however, was undoubtedly the food. Best Mangal 1996 delivered on its promise of serving the best of Turkish cuisine. The menu boasted an array of tantalizing options, from succulent kebabs to flavorful mezze platters. I opted for their mixed grill, and I was blown away by the perfectly cooked, tender meats bursting with delicious spices. The generous portions left me more than satisfied, and each bite transported me to the streets of Istanbul. To complement the meal, the restaurant also offered a diverse selection of refreshing beverages, including traditional Turkish tea. Overall, Best Mangal 1996 in West Kensington deserves its reputation as one of the finest Turkish restaurants in the area. The combination of a charming atmosphere, attentive service, and delectable dishes makes it a true gem. Whether you're seeking an authentic Turkish dining experience or simply looking to indulge in mouthwatering flavours, this restaurant is a must-visit. I highly recommend Best Mangal 1996 for a memorable and delightful culinary journey.

With its charming ambiance, attentive staff, and delectable cuisine, Best Mangal in West Kensington is a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable Turkish dining experience. Whether you're a fan of kebabs or eager to explore the world of mezze, this restaurant will leave you with lasting memories of exceptional flavours and warm hospitality. The culinary journey at Best Mangal is nothing short of extraordinary. Their menu boasts a wide selection of mouthwatering kebabs, tantalising mezze, and authentic Turkish dishes. Every dish was prepared with precision, highlighting the chef's expertise and dedication to quality. The flavourful charcoal-grilled meats and perfectly seasoned seafood were a true delight for the taste buds. The staff at Best Mangal deserves high praise for their professionalism and kindness. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance that transported me to the vibrant streets of Turkey. The rustic decor and soothing background music created an inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Really good restaurant for some lamb👌, the service is amazing too

Been a regular customer - for the West Kensington branch & it is always a great place to dine with the family. Great service, friendly staff, and uplifting atmosphere. Would recommend coming here. Thank you, you really are the best Mangal.

Very clean and tidy restaurant food was delicious. I really recommend

Amazing home made desserts .. the food is also great especially adana kebab .. the staff are lovely and make ur visit special always welcoming

Honest review here I've been coming to their other branch for the last 15years which i heard is closing down, eat in and takeout with the family every other weekend. I went tonight and was first shocked by how empty the restaurant was. 2nd I was shocked that they still had plenty of shewarma meat left on the rotisserie (usually sold out by 9pm). 3rd the price (I understand theirs a cost of living crisis) 4th the portions. Don't get me wrong the quality still great But I'm disappointed guys this will now be a once a year treat for me not a fortnightly thing.

Hammersmith bölgesinde Google haritalar / TripAdvisor'da Türk restoranı ararken denk geldiğimiz ve bizi çok memnun bırakan bir işletme oldu. Arnavut ciğeri hayatımda yediğim en yumuşak ve lezzetli ciğerdi, kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. Lahmacun ve Adana kebap da söyledik, ikisi de çok güzeldi. Türk yemekleri/kebap için kesinlikle tavsiye ederim, mutlaka bir şans verin.

Superb food and tender grill, especially mixed shish which has lamb and chicken grilled just perfect! Bravo! We ate here twice💪🏻

The meat is fresh and juicy Staffs are nice and helpful

Best food you can find in the area, hands down, and I’ve lived in West Ken for over 7 years. I’ve googled this place probably about 50 times to call them on my way home from work, and thought it’s probably time to leave a review. I’ve sampled most of the menu but the wraps are incredible. Impeccable. Tastiest meatiest big beauties. The meat, spice, salad, the wrap itself, etc., so so good.

Where do I start - walls were dirty. Portions are small 60£ for two meals is very expensive considering it's a Kebab shop. Lamb meat was full of fat and salad was poor. Ayran was very thick an didn't taste right. Disappointed with the experience and will not be returning. Yes the cost of everything has gone up but it is stupidity charging more and giving small portions. Spend some money on the decor and then charge restaurant prices. Improve the salad and meat quality. I know you won't like my feedback but you really need to make some changes.

Pek hoşuma gitmedi Lezzetli değil Hiç bir yemeği önermem

Would have loved to have tried their kebab. However, after waiting for around 20 min for them to take my order (and it looked like what would be another 30 min wait to get it) I decided to leave… v v inattentive… please fix this if you like customers - the guy behind me also left for this reason

This place has tasty kebabs. Have got take away a couple of times and I think this is the best Turkish take-away place in the area.
