About Mr Mangal
Mr Mangal is a Turkish restaurant in Norwich, at 57 Dereham Rd, where the food is cooked over open coals in a visible kitchen. Meals can begin with a cold meze platter, served with bread for the table, or with bread and hummus. The grill side of the menu includes a mixed grill and lamb shish yogurtlo, both built around the coal cooking. For fish, the kitchen prepares a whole sea bream. The restaurant can get busy, so expect a crowd at peak times. It is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cold mixed meze platter, with several naming it as a starter and one suggesting it outright. Close behind are the grills: lamb chops, a mixed grill, lamb shish yogurtlo and a whole sea bream, along with chicken wings and a kebab described as glorious. Diners also mention bread for the table and hummus, plus cocktails and the chance to sample wine before choosing. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and patient, offering recommendations to people unsure what to order, and several note the food suits children, with a kids' menu and sides praised. The open coal kitchen is visible from the tables. The one reservation comes from a reviewer whose first visit was only ok, which they put down to the restaurant being brand new, and later visits were perfect. Another says it can get busy. One family said the waitress asked if they were celebrating, then brought out a baklava with a candle and sang Happy Birthday for their son.

“From the outside its not overly pretty but as soon as you walk in you're greeted nicely and the smell will make you hungry! The kitchen area is all visible and you can see the food being cooked over the open coals. Theres a really great selection of food on the menu and the bread for the table was delicious!! We have been a few times now at various times of the day and its never disappointed. The staff are lovely and the place is kept clean and tidy.”

“We came in for an impromptu dinner this evening to pass some time whilst our daughter was attending a group over the road. We are so pleased that we did! Warm welcome when we arrived and the food was incredible! We had the cold mixed meze for starters, my husband had a mixed grill and I had a whole sea bream- seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. We will return for sure!”
