"Mangal II is the perfect pre-night-out birthday dinner spot. The modern Turkish spot, in the heart of Dalston, is for anyone who appreciates the meaty delights of mutton pirzola, moreish mushroom manti, and a bottle of grüner veltliner. Across the room, Charli XCX doppelgängers take down tahini and apple tarts, and, to continue the party after dinner, Doña—a fun, mezcal and pink feather-filled bar—is nearby." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
