UMUT 2000 OCAKBASI

Turkish spot serving up the most amazing wraps


LOCATION

Yeni Umut 2000 Ocakbasi Restaurant is in Stoke Newington, not far from Efes, where the trendies like to reside. It has a bit of competition from neighbouring Turkish restaurants but I don’t think as much as in Green Lanes, where it feels like there’s a Turkish restaurant every 30 metres.

THE SPACE

Quite a small compact space with the grill/kitchen in the centre of the restaurant. ‘Restaurant’ is probably a bit of a generous description – it’s really just a space where one can eat. Very basic decor – fancy it is not.

FOOD & SERVICE

To be honest I don’t really remember the service because I was so into my chicken shish wrap. It was superb – huge, bursting with flavour and just 6 quid, what more could you ask for? I can’t comment on the wider offering but if the wrap is anything to go by, your mouth will be delighted.

VIBE

You bring the vibe, so suggest going with a couple of mates or just get a takeaway. Not for bouji precious types

MOOLAH

Cheap – unless you’re extremely miserly
