Myths & Flames

You're walking up Chalk Farm Road past the vintage shops and independent cafes when you spot Myths & Flames—and immediately you get it. The open kitchen concept means you're watching skilful grilling happen right in front of you, flames doing their thing on proper charcoal. It's the kind of place where the cook knows exactly what they're doing, and that confidence shows in every plate. The menu leans into Turkish classics executed with real care: charred lamb chops, properly smoky chicken, and mezes that taste like someone's grandmother would approve. The room itself feels unpretentious but considered—nothing overdone, just good food and attentive service.
