Three of us stopped in for early dinner today. Unfortunately we were not impressed. First of all, the print on the menu is small and faded. Had to use my mini flashlight to read the menu. To start, pita bread and olive oil were brought to the table. The pita was right out of the package. It would have been nice if it spent a short time on the grill. The olive oil was fruity enough but had a strange taste.
We shared a fried calamari appetizer. Dipping sauce was tartar sauce. Perhaps this is the Turkish way, but it would have been better with a tomato based sauce. There was nothing special about the calamari.
Don’t know anything about the Happy Hour specials described above. We got there around 4:30, and my cocktail was $10. Perhaps the specials are only at the bar.
For mains two of us each had the mixed grill and the other had the lamb shank. The portions were huge. The lamb shank was very good according to my friend. The lamb chops in the mixed grill were delicious even though cooked closer to well done instead of medium as we ordered. The chicken cubes were dry. The rest of the meats were bland. Brought home at least half of it. The meats came with a large portion of salad and rice on the side. The salad called out for some crumbled feta cheese. I asked for dressing for the salad and was brought a cup of the same olive oil that was served with the pita bread at the beginning of the meal. The dressing needed some tang to it.
I’m in no rush to go back, but if I do I would order the lamb shank or something else that doesn’t get dried out on the grill, ask them to grill the pita bread and ask for some feta cheese for the salad. I would also inquire about happy hour specials on the drinks.
