Tas Firin Kebab and Pide

Tas Firin on High Road brings Turkish wood-fired pide to a stretch of Goodmayes better known for South Asian cooking. The name itself signals the kitchen's speciality: "firin" is the Turkish word for oven, and the pide flatbreads here are baked to order rather than produced from a belt-driven conveyor. Grilled kebabs — chicken shish, adana, mixed — accompany the bread dishes, with a short mezze selection rounding out the menu. It is a useful alternative to the area's dominant South Asian offer, and draws customers from the Turkish community settled across east London.
