Izgara Restaurant

Walk into Izgara and you're in the thick of it—the open kitchen's got flames going, there's the smell of charcoal and cumin hanging in the air, and locals are tucking into platters like they mean it. This is the sort of place where the chef knows what they're doing with a skewer, whether you're after lamb, chicken or fish cooked over proper heat. The High Road spot's been pulling in crowds for good reason: straightforward Turkish cooking that doesn't try to be anything fancy, just absolutely honest. Service moves at a decent pace, the wine list won't break the bank, and you'll leave feeling properly full.
