Our final meal in Berlin (oh, how I hate to write those words!) was at the same Turkish restaurant we had our last meal in 2023: Adana Grillhaus, a Kreuzberg institution. Charcoal-grilled meats and wonderful Turkish mezze is their game.
We shared the yoğurtlu patlican ezmesi
(grilled eggplant with yogurt) for our app — a ridiculously generous portion we finished nonetheless with the ‘assistance’ of crispy, fluffy charcoal-grilled pita bread,
and our favorite, the special lamb platter with tenderloin, chops, loin, my beloved ribs, and kebab.
The meat platters come with a lovely mixed salad of arugula, romaine, tomatoes, onion, sumac in a perfectly seasoned olive oil / RWV dressing.
Two Efes with, as this is one of the Turkish restos in Berlin that serve booze
in fact, they added an entire WALL of raki since we were here last year
And so endeth another wonderful summer in Berlin. We really can’t (nor should we) complain, for we are truly lucky to be able to do this every year.
A rainbow to send us off till next summer
