I must eat here at least twice a week. Foodwise, it's the best value in town. Booze is expensive, so do your drinking at one of the local bars and come here for the food.
The onion salad (which wins my vote for best side dish ever) served here is actually a combination of onions roasted on the charcoal grill, pomegranate molasses and salgam, which is like turnip juice, garnished with parsley. I've given up trying to recreate it -- it's just too delicious here.
I wholeheartedly suggest you try their lamb chops the next time you're there. Crispy, succulent, beautiful. Forget trying to be polite... this is food you eat with your hands.

I visited this restaurant about a month ago, and I must say that it is absolutely outstanding. My partner and I love ockakbasi, and in our opinion, this is easily the best we've been to, in not just Hackney but North London. The service is excellent and the food is divine. They serve a complimentary dish of onions, caramalised in either balsamic vinegar or some sort of fruit, which makes it stand out from the rest. My only critiscim is the price of alcohol, such as £3 for a bottle of Efes pilsner, which is abit steep, but I guess this is London, so what can you do !

Excellent value: one of the best Turkish ocakbasi places in the area. The grilled onion salad in a pomegranate syrup dressing is fantastic, and comes free with whatever you order. Service is brisk and friendly.

Excellent Turkish food at very reasonable prices. Main courses are served with delicious complementary side dishes including an excellent shepherd salad. The atmosphere is cosy and the service also excellent. Highly recommended.
