"Watching the chefs behind Umut 2000’s grill carefully turn smoking skewers is like watching a gifted musician play an instrument. Albeit a meaty one. The casual Turkish spot has a couple of locations, but it’s the Dalston one that we and other big groups of friends favour most. It’s a reliable destination for perfectly grilled kebabs—from adana kofte to shish—but it’s the perfectly charred lamb ribs that you’ll see tables fight over. They’re a must-order." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing
