Akarsu Turkish Restaurant & Grill

You'll smell the charcoal grill before you even spot the modest frontage on Silver Street. Inside, it's all warm lighting and Turkish hospitality that makes you feel like you've stepped into someone's front room – if their front room happened to serve the best lamb shish this side of Framwellgate Bridge. The mixed grill is a proper feast that'll have you rolling back up towards the cathedral, piled high with succulent kebabs, perfectly seasoned chicken, and chips that actually complement rather than compete. Don't sleep on the meze either – the hummus alone is worth the walk down from the Market Place, and the staff genuinely seem chuffed when you clean your plate.
