Where to Find Turkish Street Food in London

Turkish street food is one of the most common — and most popular — cuisines you'll find among London's food vans. Here's what to expect, and how to find it near you.

What to expect from a Turkish food van

Turkish street food vans typically serve a mix of:

• Grilled meats — adana and shish kebabs, usually char-grilled to order
• Wraps and flatbreads — dürüm wraps, gözleme (stuffed flatbread), and pide
• Mezze-style sides — hummus, cacık (yoghurt and cucumber), and pickled vegetables
• Sweet options — baklava is a common finish, though not every van carries it

Quality and specialisation vary a lot between vendors — some focus purely on grilled meat, others lean more into flatbreads and vegetarian options, so it's worth checking a vendor's menu before you commit to the walk.

Why "World Food" isn't specific enough

Most food van directories (and general map apps) lump Turkish food into a broad "World Food" or "International" category alongside dozens of other cuisines. That's not much use if you specifically want Turkish rather than, say, Filipino or Ethiopian food that happens to be nearby instead.

Find Turkish vans by cuisine, not just category

VanTrack lets you filter and search by specific cuisine, not just a broad food type — so you can look for Turkish food directly rather than scrolling through every "World Food" pin on the map.

Found a Turkish van you like?

Save it as a favourite on VanTrack. Food vans don't always trade in the same spot every day, so favouriting means you'll be able to find them again wherever they end up next, rather than losing track of them.

Vendor availability, menus and locations change regularly. Always check the live VanTrack map for current listings rather than relying on this article alone.
