Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Best Gözleme ?
Who makes the best Gözleme in Green lanes? I'm trying to find them as good as in Istanbul, Mesale Restaurant near the Blue Mosque. Here they are thinner, crispier and have much tangier cheese.
- Hala's are good but the cheese they use is a bit mild for my tastes, and I prefer them thinner.
- Taxim Cafe's are tough and not recommended.
- Niyazi Usta. They seem to sell a lot. Pretty good.
- Shamata make them too but I've not tried them.

I like them from the little gozleme cafe at the bottom of Mattison Rd (my street). To the left if facing up Mattison.

That's Niyazi Usta, Ebony. My favourite too.

If you haven't had them made by Melda at Shamata, I suggest that should be a priority in your search.

They do have customers. People often sit out the back. Also they do a lot of takeaway but hey your loss if that's your criteria for using an establishment. Personally I eat there at least once a week .
Good luck with your search.

Many places that do gozleme and to be fair they are all quite good but personally speaking shamata would be the top of the list;)

For my fellow-seekers of the Holy Grail in Gozlemes, my ideal has much but not everything in common with my favourite in Havana Cigars: lovingly and aromatically hand-made by my handmaid or hand-rolled on the thighs of a Turkish maiden enslaved in clear sight of all in a window on Green Lanes. This ideal is, no doubt, far to seek but "we shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." Meanwhile, enjoy your inferior gozlemes.

I see from tonight's Evening Standard that David Sexton has tried the aubergine ones at Shamata and does not agree that they are the best. He is WRONG .

I tried the gozleme from Shamata last night. Unfortunately I can't agree with you guys that they are any good. The dough is quite thick and dry, nothing at all like Niyazi Usta (the dough they use there is thin, stretchy and crepe like). I needed a glass of water just to get the mouthfuls down. The filling was fine, I tried a potato one. Nothing too exciting there. I had some more of their food but that review can be for another day/thread.
The staff however are super super nice in there! Very friendly and chatty :)
- glad you felt you got a good welcome. The staff are a family and go out of their way to be accommodating and friendly.
