Our Story

A Family Recipe,
A London Welcome

Lahmacun Evi was born from a grandmother's kitchen in Gaziantep, where dough was stretched by hand at sunrise and the smell of spiced lamb filled every home. We brought that tradition — and those exact flavours — to the heart of Waltham Cross.

Every lahmacun is hand-rolled, every pide filled generously, and every dish prepared with the ingredients we trust most: time, attention, and a love for feeding people well.

"Genuinely the best lahmacun I've had outside of Istanbul. The dough is incredibly thin and crispy, and the lamb topping has that perfect spice balance. We come every Friday now — it's a ritual."

"The kasarli pide melted in my mouth — I didn't think I'd ever find something this authentic in Hertfordshire. The staff are absolutely lovely, warm and welcoming. Five stars without question."

"We celebrated my mum's birthday here and it was perfect. They surprised her with baklava and çay — without us even asking. That kind of hospitality is rare. We'll be back again and again."

"I brought my Turkish grandmother here and she cried a little. She said it tasted like home. That is the highest compliment anyone could ever give a restaurant. Absolutely outstanding."

"The vegetable lahmacun is hands-down the best vegetarian option I've tried anywhere in London. So much flavour! And the sigara böreği are absolutely divine. Hidden gem of the area."

"Ordered via WhatsApp and picked up in 20 minutes. Still piping hot, perfectly cooked, and the ayran was so refreshing. Easy, fast, and absolutely delicious. This is my new go-to spot."
