Generous Turkish grill that earns its local following
If you live anywhere near Southborough Lane, you already know Topkapi. This family-run Turkish grill has been quietly doing the business since 2010, and the 4.7-star Google rating from over 450 reviews tells you everything about how the locals feel about it. The menu runs the full gamut — doner, lamb shish, chicken skewers, wraps, mezze — but also branches into fish & chips, burgers, and southern fried chicken, which is either endearing or slightly confusing depending on your perspective. Stick to the Turkish side of the menu and you won't go wrong.
The shish kebabs are the real draw here — nicely cooked, generously portioned, and served on a bed of rice with separate salad, pitta breads, and your choice of chilli or garlic sauce. The mezze selection is worth exploring too, especially if you're ordering for a group. Prices are genuinely affordable, which makes it easy to over-order, and the staff are warm and well-trained without being overbearing. The interior is modern and clean, and you can dine in, though most people seem to treat it as a takeaway.
It's not fine dining and it doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is a reliable, generously portioned neighbourhood grill that does what it says on the tin — and does it better than most of the competition in Bromley. Perfect for a Friday night when you can't face cooking.
