The express lunch menu reflects the Tike ideal of serving fresh, authentic, home-made Turkish dishes, offering a choice of warm starters, perfect during the current cold spell, including Pastirmali Houmus (hummus with sliced cured meat) to salads for those watching the calories this month, such as Ezme (spicy crushed tomato salad with herbs and onion relish.) Main courses vary from the Tike Donner (handmade using the choicest lamb cuts and slowly spit roasted by hand) and Veli Nazik (chopped chicken shish kebab served on a mild garlic, aubergine and yoghurt dip.) All courses are infused with traditional herbs and spices and are served with complimentary bread, baked on the premises, and yoghurt tzatsik dip.
A wine list, including several interesting Turkish options, is also well priced, starting from £3.25 per glass.
