I'm not too far from Shoreditch*, usually quite a few around there
And I can get (fairly) direct buses to my two favourite Indian restaurants in London. Luckily I don't have that exotic tastes in food and London is so full of stuff if I decided I wanted whatever I could get it.

*by bus, if I tried to walk they'd find my carcass picked clean of meat somewhere down by Borough, and that'd be impressive.

I'm a massive fan of Turkish food, and there just isn't anywhere other than dirt kebab shops
I went to an awesome place in Lewisham with my brother when I was up to see him, and now I have to make my own if I want to try and recapture it. Not the same without the glorious bread though.

We've got plenty of decent chinese, thai and indian places, but I'd commit GBH for a nice Turkish or Lebanese place or something.

I live with a Turk
He seems to live off oven chips and Red Stripe. Does he cook delicious-sounding food? No.
I've not yet had Turkish, it's a shame.

If you EVER get your lazy arse to London
I will take you on a journey of food revelation.

And then kill you.

it's not laziness
I'm as skint as I've been since leaving uni at the moment.

I look forward to it though. I love food. and being killed.

There are literally dozens of excellent Turkish places in Dalston.
There's also a good one on Mare St in Hackney, and a couple of brilliant ones on Upper Street (Gallipoli).

Despite being Turk-central, don't bother with Green Lanes as they are all fronts for herion importers.

Thank you, Mr Boyce, will bear that in mind
I've not been to Dalston yet. Hope you're feeling recovered from your blotches.

Mangal is the best one in Dalston.
I'm much improved, thanks.
