Restaurant · Finsbury Park
Hassos Doner on Harringay Green Lanes brings Istanbul-style yaprak döner to Finsbury Park, and it's the kind of place families drive 45 minutes for after seeing videos of their signature meat online. The specialty here is proper yaprak döner — thin leaves of lamb rather than standard minced kebab, served in fresh house-made lavash or on the Hassos Special, a generous plate of crispy chips topped with meat, yogurt, and chilli sauce. "This is the best place in the UK to experience proper Iskender," one regular insists. Highchairs and buggy-friendly space make it manageable with little ones. Reviewers praise staff members Zeynep and Hasan for their warm and accommodating approach, and one parent describes receiving complimentary Turkish tea after their meal. Portions are huge, prices sit around mid-range (the Hassos Special is popular for sharing), and the house-made ayran gets special mentions. Kids who like kebabs will find the meat juicy rather than greasy. Popular items sometimes sell out by 9:30pm on Fridays, so booking ahead is recommended.
