New Restaurant Melissa, and more to do in Canons Park, London

What is Ocakbasi? It is Turkish for grill. I met the owners just before they opened in the middle of March 2014l. When I made signs through the window the family rushed to the door to open up and greet me.
    They gave me their takeaway menu. I'm sure they will be delighted if I tell you about it.

• Lunch is served 12 noon until 4 pm.
• 5 vegetarian dishes,
• All the foreign terms are translated.
• Lunch wraps only £4.95.

    Several choices including Lamb shish, chicken shish, falafel, Hellim, Sucuk, all served with salad.
Two course meal £7.95, includes a mixed starter, vegetarian kebab, or adams kebab, etc.
   What about desserts? Baklava, at £2.50, tiramisu at £3.90 and chocolate fudge cake.
   If you want to treat your teeth to cheese, you can try chips and cheese, or healthier Turkish salad - £3.25 for a mixed salad with feta cheese.

2 Station Parade, Whitchurch Lane, Canons Park, Edgware HA8 6RW
Open 7 days a week 12.00 to 11.00 pm.

   I lived in this road as a child. This shopping parade is next to Canons Park Station. If you are diving from central London, it's en route to two Toastmasters International clubs, Harrovians and HOD which meet in Stanmore.
    Why would anybody else go to this area? To see Handel's organ in St Lawrence's church along the road, to visit North London Collegiate School, which has a swimming pool which members of the public can use at certain times.
  You might also go to Canons Park, as I have, to get pictures framed in the framing shop.

In the same parade there's an Indian restaurant which was good in the past. Cannons Tandoori.  I must go back.

So, to sum up, a new restaurant Melissa, an old favourite restaurant, Cannons Tandoori, a church with an interesting gravestone, Handel's organ and occasional tours, North London Collegiate school, and a picture framing shop.
