Warm Turkish cafe near King’s Cross serving fresh, hearty plates and excellent value lunches; mostly glowing reviews with occasional complaints about service tone and crowding.
Our take
Pitted Olive Cafe delivers reliable Turkish comfort food with exceptional roast chicken and moussaka that justify its loyal following, and outstanding service speed makes it ideal for pre-train lunches. However, cramped seating during peak hours and inconsistent service warmth prevent grade A territory—solid neighborhood favorite rather than destination dining.
One caveat: Space is tight and fills up near 1 pm; expect queues
