A Taste of Turkey in Dalston – My Experience at Mersin Tantuni

When it comes to authentic Turkish street food, London has its fair share of options, but few places transport you straight to the bustling streets of Turkey quite like Mersin Tantuni in Dalston. With a 5-star rating on Google, I knew I was in for something special—and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!

First Impressions

From the moment I stepped inside, I could feel the authenticity. The warm and inviting decor immediately set the tone. Think traditional Turkish elements infused with a cosy, street-food-inspired aesthetic. Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a full meal, the welcoming atmosphere makes it an experience rather than just a place to eat.

The staff? Absolutely lovely—friendly, accommodating, and ready to guide you through their impressive menu. Service is such a big part of the dining experience for me, and Mersin Tantuni excelled from start to finish.

The Food – A Feast for the Senses

Now, let’s get into the main event—the food. We ordered the Sac Kavurma, a sizzling meat dish perfect for sharing between two to three people. We opted for a mix of lamb and chicken, and while both were delicious, the lamb was the star of the show—tender, packed with flavor, and with the perfect balance of seasoning and smokiness. Every bite felt like a little taste of Turkey, and I couldn’t get enough!

To accompany the meal, we had a glass of crisp rosé and a fresh juice, which complemented the flavors beautifully. It was the perfect way to round off an already delightful dining experience.
