Aspava

You'll find Aspava tucked into the Alban Arena complex on Civic Close, which isn't the most obvious spot for a Turkish restaurant, but that's rather the point. It's the kind of place locals have genuinely warmed to, judging by those reviews stacking up. The menu does the classics right—charcoal-grilled lamb, proper Turkish breads, mezes that don't feel like an afterthought—and the kitchen seems to actually care about technique rather than just shifting covers. It's unpretentious enough for a weeknight out with mates, but put-together enough that you won't feel underdressed if you're making an evening of it.
