Palm

Head down Stratford Road in Wolverton and you'll find Palm doing what it does best: straightforward Turkish food that punches above its weight. The room's unpretentious, the kind of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of mates claim corner tables. You're eating proper char-grilled lamb here, fragrant rice cooked right, and mezze spreads that make you forget you're in Milton Keynes. Service moves at a proper pace—quick enough when you're hungry, relaxed enough that nobody's rushing you out. The 4.6-star rating isn't accident; nearly 1,700 reviews speaks to people coming back again and again.
