Our story

A charcoal grill at the heart of the room

Welcome to Salash Kitchen, where vibrant flavours and heartfelt hospitality come together in a warm and inviting setting. Our tasteful yet relaxed décor, with its bright colours and warmly appealing wooden tables, reflects our passion for sharing Turkish cuisine.

The sight of our glowing charcoal grill and vertical doner kebab rotisserie brings a cosy, authentic touch. They aren't just for show: our charcoal barbecue is key to the rich, smoky flavours of our grilled meats, seafood and vegetables.

You won't find anything overly complicated or hard to understand on our menu, just thoughtfully prepared dishes. We embrace tradition but add our own special spin.

What guests say on Google

I went for the Adana kofte, which turned out to be a very good choice, perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavour. The portion size for the mains was generous and satisfying.
