Luke Martin raves that the Tepsi kebab is a must-try, delivering a rich, homey comfort that defines the restaurant’s warm, unpretentious vibe.
“This is a baked kebab with lamb and a mix of almost 50/50 vegetables, mainly parsley, onions, and tomatoes, plus lots of spices. I'm going in with just the fork to try it by itself, and you can see all those vegetables inside. Wow, awesome. That is some juicy lamb. Because it's baked in the tray and then served in the tray, all of that juice is sitting at the bottom.”
