Turkish & Mediterranean Food in Loughton: A Guide to Mila

By In Mila Journal

At Mila, Turkish and Mediterranean food in Loughton starts with a choice: share a selection of meze, make a charcoal grill the centre of your meal, or explore our seafood and vegetarian dishes. Our à la carte menu gives you several ways to put a meal together, whether you are dining as a couple or catching up with friends.

Begin with hot and cold meze

Meze lets you bring different flavours and textures to the table. For a cold start, our menu includes hummus, tzatziki, smoked aubergine dip and beetroot with yoghurt and walnuts. Hummus brings chickpeas and tahini together, while the smoked aubergine dip adds yoghurt and garlic to grilled aubergine.

For something warm, choose from dishes such as grilled halloumi, falafel, sucuk and sigara boregi. The latter are crisp pastry rolls filled with cheese and herbs. A mixed hot or cold platter is another option when you would like a selection rather than choosing individual dishes.

A useful way to order for the table is to choose a mixture of hot and cold dishes, then decide whether you would like individual mains. Ask our team if you would like help working out a selection for your group.

Explore the charcoal grill

Our Mila Grills section is cooked over hot charcoal. Chicken shish and lamb fillet shish offer skewered cuts of meat, while Adana brings minced lamb together with onion, parsley and paprika. If you would like several grill favourites on one plate, the Mixed Grill includes Adana, lamb and chicken shish, lamb chops and wings.

For a different combination, Iskender pairs a choice of meat with bread, yoghurt, tomato sauce and melted butter. Comparing the grill dishes with the sauced options is a helpful starting point if you are visiting for the first time.

Seafood and vegetarian choices

There is more to explore beyond the grill section. Seafood options include sea bass, grilled salmon and octopus. Vegetarian choices include vegetable beyti and vegetarian moussaka, while Imam Bayildi features baked aubergine filled with vegetables and herbs.

Check the symbols and descriptions on the current à la carte menu when choosing. Please tell our team about allergies and dietary requirements before you order so we can discuss the dishes with you.

Make a meal of it

Our menu page also includes desserts and drinks, with craft cocktails, selected wines, classic spirits and soft drinks to browse. Take a look before your visit if you are planning a meal for several people; it makes it easier to find choices that suit the whole table.
