Mangal Ocakbasi Restaurant

Dalston is a neighborhood that's still unknown to many tourists and even a lot of Londoners. After an influx of creative people to this North London neighborhood, is has becomes one of the coolest areas of the city. Close to Hackney and Shorditch, Dalston is the heart of London's Hipster movement as young creative types mix with the neighborhood's traditionally Turkish and Kurdish inhabitants. As trendy new stores have settled next to traditional neighborhood stores, result is a vibrant and strong community, as evidenced by local shopkeepers' impassioned defense against looters during the riots of 2011.
