      mitch lippmann He peobably isn't that fluent in English. And probably a bit tense because of it.
      Besides, people in this sort of a work have their own sense of humour in Turkey.
      Not to mention the diffuculty of getting the jokes in a language you don't comprahend quick enough

    Istanbul is a good restaurant but if you are still in London may I recommend trying Hala in Harringay Green Lanes. The only place that I know of that does not include doner meat in its mixed grill. Another dish worth trying is Sarma Beyti (lamb not chicken) . It's a pleasure watching your videos.

      If you want original non commercial Turkish charcoal Kebab, go to either Umut 2000 (Dalston or Green Lanes), Durumcu Ali Baba (Enfield, Green St) This is where you will find original Turkish Kebab.. non of that commercial restaurants in Green Lanes most people who are not turkish would go to lol

    to all my eater friends, this "horizantal rotating lamb" of doner is a different kind of vertical rotating one (at 5:45) . Meat/fat ratio, spices and preperations are different. So nobody think this horizantal lamb kebab to put on vertical in Turkey. Video is awesome, i just wanted to put a information here with my poor English.
