El Turkistan

El Turkistan at 304 Old Kent Road, Bermondsey served Turkish and Central Asian food from the Old Kent Road in SE1. El Turkistan evokes the ancient Turkic heartland of Central Asia — the steppe cultures whose nomadic traditions produced the kebab, the spit-roast and the communal feast that have spread across the world through Turkish, Uzbek and Mongolian cooking traditions. Old Kent Road SE1 5UE runs through the eastern part of SE1 toward the Old Kent Road retail park.

Turkish and Central Asian restaurants serve the diverse community of the Old Kent Road, and El Turkistan brought the flavours of Anatolia and Central Asia to this historic South London road.
