Cappadocia Cafe & Bistro

You're on Gray's Inn Road in King's Cross, ducking into a spot that's been quietly doing the rounds with Turkish expats and locals who know what they're after. The room's unpretentious—café tables, bright lighting, no faffing about with mood—but that's precisely the point. Order a proper Adana kebab or load up on mezze plates: creamy hummus, charred halloumi, stuffed vine leaves. The coffee's proper Turkish coffee, not the watered-down nonsense you get elsewhere. It's the kind of place you'd stumble upon by accident and immediately think, why aren't more people here?
