The Best BYOB Turkish Restaurants in London

One of the great pleasures of London's Turkish restaurant scene is BYOB culture. Bring a good bottle, pay no corkage, enjoy world-class grilled meat.

Why BYOB?

Many Turkish restaurants don't have alcohol licenses. Instead, they let you bring your own. You drink what you want, at off-license prices.
