Sefa Restaurant

You're walking down Trafalgar Road in Greenwich and you smell it before you see it—woodsmoke and spiced lamb hitting you from the street. Sefa's got that unpretentious vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned, the kind of place where regulars are genuinely welcome and the staff actually care if you're happy. The menu isn't trying to be clever; it's just doing Turkish food properly, with chargrilled lamb chops that have proper char, meze spreads that go on for days, and dips made fresh. It's the sort of neighbourhood restaurant that's been quietly brilliant for ages without needing Instagram to tell you about it.
