I had never been to a Turkish Restaurant before, so did not
really know what to expect. I knew there would be meats cooked over a charcoal
grill but no idea about the flavours.
I went on a Friday evening with my brother in law and my wife, the restaurant was very busy but we managed to get a table. We decided
to order a mixture of dishes and share them so we could experience as many dishes as
we could. We were given some complimentary flat breads and dips. The Pizza's on the other tables looked good but
we wanted a meat feast as pizza was on
the agenda for the next day.
From the hot meze section we went for:
Icli Kofte - made from bulgar, minced onions and finely grounded minced lamb.
Falafel - deep fried balls made from chickpeas served with
carrots, lettuce and hummus.
From the charcoal section we went for:
Chicken wings
Jumbo mix (for four people) - Lamb Shawarma, adana (minced
lamb skewered kebab), chicken shish, chicken wings, Lamb Shish, chicken beyti
(minced chicken), tavuk pizola (grilled chicken thighs). served with rice.
The foods was cooked very well and there was more than
enough for the three of us, so I got a doggy bag to go. The chargrill flavour
was so good, I prefer my food spicier and did ask for some extra chilli sauce
but that's just my preference. Next time I will pack some extra sauces that will compliment
the meats.
