Tavuklu Pide: Turkish food in London-town

For one of our last meals in London my trip mates and I stopped into a restaurant called Tas Pide. We didn't really know what to expect, as none of us had ever been to a Turkish restaurant before, yet it's entry was covered in stickers displaying its critically acclaimed status. We figured we didn't have much to lose. It turned out to be quite thematic; everything from the tables to the pitchers had a Mediterranean feel to it. We ordered our meals based off of mainly pictures, and hoped for the best. As it turns out, we got what we hoped for. The dish was minced chicken and other select veggies minced finely and served in a dish of turkish-style dough or bread called Pide. It was totally out of the norm presentation, yet the taste was remarkable.

Chicken, Charleston pepper, red pepper, tomato puree, cheddar cheese & dried red basil
I would recommend this place to anyone travelling to London on a budget. Not only was the food They also gave us free soup, bread, and water; something that we Italy-dwellers are not accustomed to without a price.
