As you can tell…. by having another post so soon after the original, we must enjoy this restaurant. Actually, it's the Missus who drives our visits. She loves having a plate of various meze… they know Her now, so they just tell Her to pick what She wants….
The Missus has found that She enjoys the Dolmalar made with zucchini more than the version made with eggplant. There seems to be something new on most of our visits.
And of course there's the hot lavas……
Here's another recent plate the Missus put together……
I have been slowly trying to work my way through the Kebob menu…… it's hard, when you consider I really enjoy the Adana Kebob. This is the Beyti Kebab, a beef based kebob wrapped in lavas:
Think in terms of a ravioli kebob…. this actually tasted like it had ghee drizzled over it… it was maybe a tad on the rich side for me.
A couple of nights later I had the Alanzik Kebab ($14), which was very good.
Chunks of tender lamb, laying on a bed of babaganoush, with a nice rich sauce poured over everything. I really enjoyed the flavors….. though I barely finished half of it…..
Since I also ordered a Lahmacun.
Basically a lavas topped with spiced beef, reminiscent of the Soujook from Alforon. The slightly charred lavas, nice and crisp, along with the spices and beef were a nice combination. And the Alanzik tasted even better the next day……
If the toughest decision I have to make for any given day is between having dinner at Alforon or Sultan….. you know it hasn't been a bad day!
