Mangal Grill Chef

Kismet | Borough Market, London

Full-time

About Kismet

Kismet is a Turkish-Cypriot meyhane in Borough Market, founded by chef Keiran Mustafa and restaurateur Dom Hamdy.
Inspired by the meyhanes and ocakbaşı restaurants of Istanbul and Northern Cyprus, our menu is centred around meze and meat and fish cooked over charcoal.
We’re a busy, ambitious independent restaurant with a small kitchen team, high standards and plans to grow Kismet beyond our current Borough Market residency.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Mangal Grill Chef to take ownership of our charcoal grill section.
You’ll be cooking dishes including chicken şiş, lamb, köfte, chops and fish over charcoal, maintaining consistency and quality through busy services.
We’re looking for someone who is:


  • Experienced on charcoal, mangal or live-fire grills
  • Confident cooking meat accurately and consistently
  • Fast, organised and comfortable with high-volume services
  • Able to run their section independently
  • Clean, reliable and calm under pressure
  • Serious about quality and attention to detail
  • A strong team player

Experience in Turkish or ocakbaşı kitchens is a bonus, but strong charcoal grill experience is more important.

What We Offer

  • Up to £17 per hour, depending on experience
  • Full-time hours
  • Two days off per week
  • Staff meals
  • Opportunity to develop and progress as Kismet grows
  • A small, ambitious team where good chefs can have a real impact

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
