Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

[Angell34]

Just gone passed Love Dulwich cafe on the bus and there’s a sign outside stating “new Turkish restaurant opening soon” 

I spoke to the owner today and unfortunately due to the cost of living and the extremely high rent & rates on the lane (his are almost £100k) the cafe model isn’t working. Rather than give up and close down, he’s done quite a bit of research and is indeed going to reopen / rebrand as a Turkish restaurant from 14th March. 

He will be open lunch times (with lunch specials) and evenings with a selected Turkish grill & meze menu (plus veggie & vegan dishes). 

He’s a lovely chap and has a few businesses including a Turkish bakery in Penge so knows his stuff. 

Personally I’m sad that he’s closing as a cafe but extremely happy and excited he’s reopening as a Turkish restaurant.

Hope not - personally think they are one of the best cafe around.

Maybe it is going to be a combination of cafe in day and Turkish at night - now that would be good.

Since I have moved and only come up a couple of times a year, will be following.

when I was there recently, they were getting into instagram, Facebook etc so hoping that not closing.

Food freshly cooked and staff so nice - nothing too much trouble. A couple of the chains could learn from them - one in particular which shall remain nameless.

Just to say - it is most delicious as a Turkish restaurant! 

Also - a v. good margarita....

Really good food, hope people support, was quite quiet when we went.  Great service too.

I also enjoyed it there. Generous portions, good value and friendly staff.

Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .

they got a whole page of veggie options on the menu. you name it they have it, not sure why you can't enlarge the pdf - i can enlarge it but can read it without enlarging it and i've got terrible eyesight! Maybe ignore the chicken and avocado at the bottom.

also salmon, sea bass, prawn etc.
