| Turkish Delight
We went there for dinner at the suggestion of another couple, who has been there for the past 3 times.
It was a very quiet evening for the cafe, as we were the only customers there that night. Service was prompt and polite, and even though they had no liquor license, we were allowed to open our bottle of wine that we brought along. (no corkage)
We ordered the sampler, lentil soup, farmer's salad, beef kofte, grilled eggplant, beef wrap and the chicken dishes. I apologise for not remembering the exact name of the dish, Turkish names are quite mind boggling to me. :-P (note to self, that if i want to do better reviews, i better rem the names of the dishes next time!)
The sampler was quite good, with 4 different types of starters - the rice wrapped with vine leaves, was surprisingly good and so was the hummus.
My friends' loved the lentil soup, which was light and subtle. I found it ok, as i have never been a big fan of lentil.
The mains were all good, especially the grilled eggplant, which came with a serving of rice. The eggplant was grilled just nice, with a good topping of tomatoes on it.
The meaty dishes were generally good with just the right amount of seasoning to make it authentic.
Serving size was decent and the mains were enough for an average 75kg male.*
Overall, the meal was pleasant and service was good. This would be a place i wont mind coming back again if i was in the area.
