Walk into Tarka and you're immediately surrounded by the smell of charcoal and grilled meat—the good kind. It's unpretentious in the best way possible: Turkish hospitality done right, with the kind of food that doesn't need Instagram filters to look appealing. The menu sticks to what it does brilliantly: kebabs, mixed grills, and mezze that taste like someone actually knows what they're doing. You'll find yourself sat next to families, couples, and groups of mates all tucking into the same thing, which tells you everything about how well-priced and genuinely good it is.
