Tasting Notes
Kebabs and grilled dishes anchor the menu, alongside breakfast, soups, salads, mezes, pide, lahmacun and children’s meals. Many meat and chicken dishes are offered in regular and one-and-a-half portions, with sharing platters also listed.
Kebabs, meat and house specials
Alongside Adana and Urfa, the meat section lists aubergine, onion, tomato, pistachio and Topkapı kebabs, plus Dallas Beyti, Beyti Sarma, Abugannuş and Alinazik. Chicken choices include fillet, chops, skewers and wings. The specials include Testi Kebabı, Kilis Tava, Dolama Kebap and Şaşlık, as well as lamb tandır and Vali Kebab, both priced per person.
Wraps, pide and children’s meals
Wrap fillings include çöp şiş, meat and chicken skewers, Adana, Urfa, köfte and falafel. The pide list ranges from diced-meat and minced-meat versions to kavurma, pastırma, sucuk and vegetables; lahmacun has four varieties. Children’s köfte, chicken, döner and pide meals include a drink and a surprise toy.
Breakfast, mezes and dessert
The breakfast spread is for at least two and includes katmer and unlimited tea for two. The menu has more than thirty cold mezes and hot starters, including sharing platters. Desserts include katmer, künefe, semolina halva with ice cream and baked rice pudding.
“For a group, share a Lebanese meze platter and order lamb tandır per person. For one or two, a kebab portion and a pide make a simpler meal.”
