HOT: Tas Firin, 160 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch E2 6BG

The boys' boardgame of world and galactic domination was interrupted by the delicious smells of Turkish takeaway from this small neighbourhood restaurant. For a ridiculous £7 each, we feasted on skewered meats, halloumi, rice, salad, Turkish bread and pides. It's been given the seal of quality and authenticity by Istanbul-born Yalin, who has adopted it as his second kitchen by visiting it three times in the last week.
