Great news for Harringay. A Turkish restaurant is opening on Green Lanes.
With Megara's transformation from Baklava Saloon complete, it's about time we had a Turkish restaurant opening. So you'll be delighted to hear that Tasty Chicken next to Disney/Savers is to become a kebab shop (owner's description).
What else could anyone want?!

Overstauration, n. - the condition of being all restauranted out.
"For want of anything better to do" - sounds like it was otherwise a positively Hancockian Sunday afternoon.
Seriously, Michael, thank you for actual data - much more useful than the pages of hand-waving .
So...because of your afternoon counting shop fronts, we're supposed to conclude that the market is over-saturated.
Do matters such as footfall and the apparent degree of success of the businesses in question not enter the equation then, or will you be leaving it till the new year to conduct that particular survey?
OK. Instead of the count being on that particular stretch of Green Lanes, imagine 38 shop units selling food in the equivalent length of road between Turnpike Lane and Wood Green Shopping City. Does that sound like a healthy, diverse high street?
For the great majority of the day these premises are empty of people. It it is the case that a few premises selling food have no custom until the evening that can be sustainable, but when a large proportion of the units on a particular high street are more or less unused during the day, is that really adding much to the local economy?
I'm not sure where you've derived that view from, but it's entirely incorrect.
Planning are simply unable to turn down an application based of the ethnicity of the proposed outlet. And rightly so.
