Alis Alcove

Ali's Alcove on Maiden Street is one of Barnstaple's most popular Turkish takeaways, run by Ali himself with an evident pride in the product. The menu is built around charcoal-grilled kebabs served in freshly baked homemade flatbread — the Jemmy Twitcher, stacked with a combination of grilled meats, marinated onions and pickled cabbage, has earned a strong local following. Spicy chips and loaded wraps round out the menu. Customers frequently single out the portion sizes and the quality of the grill, noting that the meat arrives properly charred and juicy rather than reheated. Ali's delivery service covers the wider Barnstaple area and the kitchen runs late into the evening.
