About City Best Mangal
On Pitfield St, City Best Mangal is a Mediterranean restaurant serving Middle Eastern kebabs and falafel alongside burgers and other grub. The counter turns out lamb doner, lamb shish, and chicken doner, with chicken kebab and wrap orders arriving with chips, pita, and salad, and garlic or spicy sauce on the side. A special mixed grill is portioned for sharing. Kebab wraps run large. Orders are placed at the front counter on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. Beyond the counter service, a big seating area gives customers room to sit down rather than take food straight out, and the late-night hours suit those wanting food after typical closing times.

Customer Review Summary
Kebab wraps draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing generous portions of thinly shaved lamb doner and lamb shish, plus a standout huge chicken wrap called one of the best in London. Close behind, the mixed grill gets singled out as a huge portion for two, and several mention the garlic and spicy sauce combination and a free can of drink thrown in. Prices come up often too, with reviewers calling the food cheap for the quality and portion size. Service is described as nice, efficient and helpful, with one review highlighting a couple at the front and a rare big seating area for a kebab shop. A few notes are more mixed: one diner found the chicken oily and lacking flavour despite a decent portion, and another found the rectangular serving plate awkward to eat from. One reviewer reports being charged twice on a card payment after being told the first transaction had voided, though they chose not to pursue it further.

“Delicious kebab but you charged me twice, on Saturday night. You said the first transaction was void and asked me to pass my card again. Anyway I'm not going to fight for £9.50 and waste my time.”
