Over the years, Mangal 1 has grown to become a staple in the London food scene, celebrated for its exceptional grilled meats, warm hospitality, and unique atmosphere.
The story of Mangal 1 began when the founder, inspired by his deep love for the traditional Turkish grilling methods, decided to bring this time-honored cooking technique to London. The restaurant quickly gained recognition for its commitment to authenticity, using only the finest cuts of meat, cooked over an open flame on a charcoal grill. The distinctive smoky aroma and the succulent flavors of the grilled dishes became an instant hit, attracting food lovers from all walks of life.
