Ottoman Restaurant

Head out towards Woodbridge Road and you'll find Ottoman doing the kind of Turkish food that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with the tired kebab shops dotting the town centre. This is the real deal—chargrilled meats that actually have char on them, meze platters loaded with proper depth, and the sort of hospitality that makes you feel genuinely welcome rather than just processed through. The space feels unpretentious; you're here for the food, not the Instagram backdrop. Expect decent queues on weekends because word's got round locally that Ottoman actually knows what it's doing.
