Chargal is a striking new three-storey dining destination at 11 Berkeley Street, created by Serdar Demir, the man behind Knightsbridge’s Turkish fine dining restaurant, The Mantl.
Guests step inside a three storey culinary journey. The ground floor Dining Room is where open-fire modern Turkish cuisine takes centre stage. Signature dishes reinterpret classics: wagyu İskender; a red bream ceviche that nods to Turkey’s coastal traditions; lamb tartare and pulled lamb hummus celebrating Anatolia’s deep pastoral heritage; playful sucuk “candies’’ coated in hot honey glaze; and a dark chocolate sorbet lifted with fennel pollen and olive oil, echoing the flavours of the Aegean and reflecting Demir’s philosophy of honouring tradition and then elevating it.
On the first floor the Mezze Bar the mood is more social with vibrant small plates. The mixed meze includes cacık, muhammara, hummus, cranberry kısır and seasonal crudités, bringing together the colours and rhythms of the Turkish table. Grilled halloumi doughnuts arrive with bright pomegranate jam, while mantı lamb dumplings offer a comforting, butter kissed classic reimagined with finesse.
The journey ends in the basement Lounge, a low lit refuge designed for unwinding after dinner with elevated sharing plates and a curated cocktail programme .
