If you love meat then you will need to check out Baba as it is known for its Turkish charm with plenty of Anatolian dishes and tasty steaks. The Turkish meatballs are robust and fragrant and there’s plenty of Middle Eastern dips to pair with puffy, warm bread.

Want to go to Syria? Head to Sah El Noom, which offers up a range of traditional Syrian dishes. All are classics elevated to high standards but don’t miss the cheese and ouzi lamb chops, they’re excellent. As is the sujuk roll – a crispy, meaty, spicy bite of Arabic bread stuffed with sujuk.
