These are the main ones I frequent and the reasons why.
However three are many and probably even more opinions!
Diyarkibir (I believe), just past Barclays on the left going toward manor house. Been around for a long time, no alcohol, more limited menu, but very good.
Devran, at the bottom of Pemberton. Easy with children, good albanian liver with butter and onions (none of us ever eat liver except when eating here!
Gokyuzu, opposite Devran, always busy, also good and definitely very popular with a very universal appeal.
Enjoy.

I've eaten in most of the Turkish places on Green Lanes and can't say that I've ever had a bad meal. These days we tend to eat in Selale. The food is as good as or better than all the other places in Green Lanes and Sabri and his team work very hard to make you feel very welcome and we always get a free something thrown in. It's now pretty much as busy as Gokyuzu. For me it's perhaps the best all rounder on the strip. It's also nearest to where I live. I dare say if I lived further down the Ladder I'd be happy with Gokyuzu, Hala, Antepliler or one of the other places.

Selale also does provide an option for smaller portions for those with small stomachs like me. So another vote for them!

+ 1 for Selale.
Always a warm welcome and great food. I have serious Lamb Sarma Beyti addiction because of these guys.

Diyarbakir is my favourite. I like Hala too. Gokwhatsit used to be good but now isn't (dry meat and practically no "service" other than throwing our food down and shouting at us last time we went, didn't even get asked if we wanted drinks, very much an air of "get em in, get em fed, get em out" about it. Devran's food is good but I'm boycotting due to their lack of social responsibility. Never been to Selale.

I wonder what have they done to get your back up about social responsibility?

Agree with you about Diyarbakir...
Just not everibody is always happy to have a meal out without a the option of a drink, hence good to have alternatives

Have a look at the mess they've made of the pavement after decorating the outside Pav

To be clear, I said I was boycotting them, not that people should boycott them. It's not about the restaurant dining experience but their activities on Pemberton Rd.
In the context of social responsibility I am dissatisfied with the following in the sense that I live on Pemberton Rd so witness frequently. I don't know how this compares with other Green Lanes restaurants.
-fly tipping and piled up rubbish
-using the Pemberton Rd pavement as an extension to their kitchen or in place of a staff break facility
-paint and plaster spattered pavement from recently having their wall done. Bad paint job running onto pavement. No attempt to rectify.
-side windows open at eye level on pavement and painted black - dangerous to pedestrians, especially at night. Side kitchen door swinging open onto pavement. Also painted black. Ditto dangerous to pedestrians. (I admit this is not happening so much now that it's not warm).
-gangs of staff smoking and blocking the pavement with makeshift bucket stools left out so that you can't pass by easily. Fag butts everywhere. I've actually had to dodge fag butts being flicked as I walk by.
-cat-calling, pssst-ing and other sexual harassment from their male staff.
-mops, buckets, brooms etc strewn across pavement at kitchen door on Pemberton rd.
-their dead potted ornamental shrub dumped outside the charity shop a few months ago.
-dirty mop water chucked out across the pavement from the kitchen without looking as I've walked past.
-kitchen floor-sweepings brushed out onto Pemberton Rd pavement or into the gutter.
Sorry, I didn't want to boycott the thread but you did ask! It's nothing I haven't mentioned before on here or to the staff/manager. As I said it's not about the food and most of the above could easily be rectified but it seems they just don't care. I have photographic evidence of most of it but the council don't care either.

I believe the biggest problem with the whole of London is that businesses are generally suposed to put there rubbish out on the street for collection, all be it at particular times.
Why not simply loose a few parking spaces and provide more bins for trade to use. This would be particularly good at getting rid of the rubbish juice that stains all our high streets!
Also rubbish out... You are braking the law, not just making a mistake of when it should have been left out.
