A new Turkish restaurant has opened its doors in Blackheath Standard this week.

On Monday (May 22), Turkish Doner Kebab, owned by local catering entrepreneur Akyut Bayrat, opened in Old Dover Road.

The restaurant joins the current parade of shops in the area and has been described as a “much-welcomed” addition to the area.

Akyut started out in the catering business in 2010 working in a fish and chip shop and now employs a team of six staff.

The restaurant serves modern Turkish cuisine along with traditional dishes, vegetarian and vegan options, and sweet desserts.
