Ealing Mangal Restaurant

Nice Turkish place in Ealing. Prepare to look around for parking on adjacent streets. Food was nice but could’ve used more spice and chilli in it. Went with the Family Mix platter (loads of various meats). All cooked really well. Staff was attentive. Might visit again but they’re better Turkish grill places in London. Plus I think it’s definitely overpriced considering the portions etc.

Great meal… hummus, doner, kebab, chicken wings. Everything was very good. The service was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely return. Restaurant was very clean.

‘Ealing Mangal’ is a Turkish Ocakbasi — a large open charcoal BBQ grill is the source of its allure.
It has a decent sized proper restaurant but I normally take-​away.
My favourite is Cop Sis (chop shish) but ALL their grilled meats, both chicken & lamb have that familiar smokey taste that only kebabs cooked on the Ocakbasi seem to have.
They also have an upright spit for Yaprak Doner but I prefer the charcoal cooked kebabs.
Service wise this place is very good — fast & friendly.
Overall I slightly prefer the ‘Best Mangal’ mini chain on North End Road for taste alone (the sauce is hotter and salad more herby) but there is very little in it. If I lived in or closer to Ealing I would certainly not need to go further a field for any other Ocakbasi restaurant.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent food, well worth the 10 minute wait. Juicy, succulent and well marinated meat, perfectly cooked on open charcoal fire. Absolutley delicious, highly recommended. Best chicken and lamb shish kebabs and very reasonably priced.

best kebabs not just in ealing but the world! me and my boyf practically live in mangal we love it so much!

I agree with the others reviewers, excellent food freshly grilled in front of you and good portions. Generally very friendly staff, but unfortunately maybe because I look like a very naïve and gullible girl, they have cheated on the price a couple of times. Even if done with a smile, I don’t like to be cheated! My advice is to check precisely before you order what you get and how much it is going to cost.

Exceptionally good take-​out chicken or lamb kebabs, served in a wrap and edible on the move. It does take a while for the food to be prepared, I assume as it takes time to cook the kebabs from fresh over charcoal, rather than flaming them on a gas grill (10 – 15 minutes instead of 5, no big deal really). The result though is superb, the meat is always succulent and the salad and wrap fresh.
Sit-​down meals are equally as good, again the freshness of the ingredients is the main thing but service is also quick and efficient.
In a rush, you could resort to the doner, which usually looks fresh and recognisably meaty, rather than the amorphous brown blob turning on a stick found at bad establishments.

This place is good and they know how to appreciate customers! Staff is always friendly, happy to make changes to order suit customer. I have gone back over and over again and this place never fails to pleases. Service is quick and you don’t have to wait for long for your food! I certainly recommended this place to anyone who has not tried Turkish food before or just wants something different.

This place is the bomb, been going here for a while now and I love the open grill, the smell of the meat cooking and the large dining area. Great if you go with a large group or for a takeaway and in my opinion great value for money. Never had any issues here other than the fact that it closes too early (11pm) and if you go late you might not get what you want as the food sells like hotcakes.
