Description

Summary: A refined mix of Turkish classics and modern European twists.

Mangal 2 stands out on the A10 with its blend of nearly 30 years of tradition and a fresh, modern approach. The interior, with its ultramarine blue walls and constellation of spotlights, sets the stage for a culinary experience that respects its roots while embracing innovation. The menu features sourdough pide, celebrated mutton 'cull yaw', and modern takes like mushroom manti with cordyceps, all complemented by natural wines. Patrons can expect a charming symphony of old and new, with a front-of-house team that skillfully guides both newcomers and seasoned diners through an Anatolian menu with a European twist. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for enjoying dishes like the lamb shoulder tandir, and the dessert selection, such as mountain-tea ice cream with rhubarb, showcases the restaurant's penchant for creating delightful contrasts. Mangal 2 is a testament to the evolution of Turkish cuisine in a contemporary setting.
