Reading Grill

Head down Oxford Road towards the station and you'll find Reading Grill doing exactly what it says on the tin. This is straightforward Turkish grilling—charcoal-heavy, meat-forward, the kind of place where the chef knows what they're doing with a skewer. You're looking at proper döner, shish, and kofta done right, not the street food approximation you might expect from the neighbourhood. It's the sort of spot locals actually return to because the food's solid and the prices won't leave you wondering why you didn't just get a kebab from the van instead.
