We had an incredible time at @silverworksisland catering thousands of guests. Back at it for the following two weekends.
Big shoutout to the crew - @mahirbu @polskakitchen @___georgiapeach__ and special support via @em.ay.gee.ell of @el.jardin.13 for being an extra pair of hands + heart (and for taking all these lovely photos/vids).

Also, big ups to @samueljspencer for pushing for years to get us involved in these events.

No one caters like Mangal II. For all enquiries please email info@mangal2.com. Festivals. Weddings. Summer parties. Winter campsites. Wherever + Whatever. We can do it.

We go again!

Thank you, Mangal 2.

I first heard of Mangal 2 a few years ago when I started working as a chef. I was talking to my head chef at the time and we were sharing our favourite places to eat in London. She mentioned Mangal — but said, “Go to Mangal 1, not 2.”

My natural instinct was to ask, why shouldn’t I go to Mangal 2?

I looked at the menu and was immediately intrigued. The concept behind Mangal 2 was exactly the reason I wanted to step into a kitchen in the first place, taking traditional dishes and giving them modern, innovative interpretations while celebrating seasonal British ingredients.

Last night, five years after deciding to become a chef and walking into a professional kitchen for the first time, I got to cook my own dishes at Mangal 2.

A fusion of Turkish and Colombian food inspired by my family and my son. A dinner where that same family was there to share the moment.

I’m incredibly grateful to Ferhat, Mahir, Jabel, and every single person who helped make this pop-up at Mangal 2 happen.

To have this full-circle moment means a lot to me and feels like a huge milestone in my short career as a chef.

That being said... Onto the next pop-up.

SOLD OUT.
It’s happening.

Tuesday 16th of June brings the seismic collision of Whyte’s x Mangal II.

A collaborative dinner merging all the eclectic flair and mind-rearranging flavour combinations of the globetrotting greats @whyte_rushen and @liviakers pairing up with industry cult-icons @mangal2restaurant and all their revered fire-blessed glory of 32 years.

Years of mutual admiration and friendship brings forth this union at 4 Stoke Newington Road.

Some pop-ups don’t need any further explanation: They simply make sense. Using the tools of the Ocakbaşı and an adventurous play on Turkish classics, this one-off evening will tilt the scales of what it means to be hit with a smoke-enhanced menu. With cocktail pairings from our guys over at @moatwoodgin

Sweetbreads on the grill; Mussels stuffed tempura courgette flowers; Künefe + cardamom Turkish coffee tiramisu, the dream collab is about to be realised.

The best part? Representing the elastic range of Dalston’s culinary vision under one roof, one event.

Bookings are live now in our bio for the set menu, super limited numbers to keep this one intimate. See you there, Whyte’s + Mangal II

Our latest newsletter is out!

Now, as some of you may have noticed… ARSENAL HAVE WON THE PREMIER LEAGUE!

This is about that. And our restaurant. And myself. And what being a Londoner represents in the realms of culture, identity, and race.
