|
Borek | Eaten mainly as a starter or snack and similar to the Greek spanakopitta, layers of pastry are filled with either spinach and cheese or a spicy minced meat filling. Found in almost all Turkish restaurants and street takeaway vans who also sell kebabs and doner. | Turkish |
|
Mixed Grill | There are those times when you just want to try everything on the menu and the mixed grill is the perfect way to achieve that! Kebabs, doners, grilled chicken, lamb cutlets served together with Tabouleh, hummus, dips and pita bread - it is a wonderful way to experience a little bit of it all. Try some side dishes with the mixed grill such as spicy walnut dip made with roasted red capsicum, sundried tomato, garlic, spices and of course walnuts! Or you might fancy the garlic and mint yoghurt. | Turkish |
|
Grilled Vegetables with Dips | A very easy but delicious dish of grilled or chargilled vegetables, cooked with herbs, spices and garlic are served with a selection of dips on a large platter, put in the centre of the table for everyone to enjoy. A selection of eggplant, zucchini, red onions and round squash and turnips would be a usual combination, but also grilled baby corn and capsicum. Plenty of different dips are included as well as yoghurt and sauces. | Vegetarian |
|
Lahmacun or Pide | This is the Turkish equivalent to Pizza! However, they are always served thin and crisp, no deep pan pizzas! There is usually a vast array of toppings but the most popular still remains cheese, onion and tomato, or a fine spiced minced beef and onion with peppers and tomatoes. Usually served with a good portion of salad. | Turkish |
|
Lasagne Primavera | A delicious vegetarian lasagne usually made with spinach pasta and a selected of sliced vegetables such as eggplant, courgette, tomatoes, mushrooms and onions and covered in a béchamel sauce. Served with garlic bread and salad, this is a lovely dish for non-meat eaters. | Vegetarian |
|
Noodles with Coconut Vegetable Curry | A lovely dish even for meat eaters! Delicate soft cooked noodles are served with a mixture of vegetables steeped in a coconut curry sauce full of herbs and spices. A good selection of vegetables such as potatoes, squash, onions, carrots, peas and green beans all cooked to perfection. Served with flatbreads or chapattis and usually a side tray of dips and yoghurt with cucumber. Tofu can be added if required. | Vegetarian |
|
Kebabs | Try a turkish kebab packed full of salad, your choice of meat (chicken, lamb, donar or falafel) and sauce. Don't be afraid to ask for chilli sauce to pack the punch if you like it that little bit hotter. | Turkish |
|
Dolma or dolmades | A selection of vegetables and vine leaves are served, stuffed with seasoned savoury rice and herbs. This dish takes a while to be prepared but is well worth the wait, oozing with delicious juices. A long term favourite in Turkish restaurants. | Turkish |
|
Mushroom Burger | No bread involved in this burger – the filling is full of vegetables and herbs, and the ‘bun’ is comprised of two large grilled Portobello mushrooms. Quite a lot of garlic is usually included in this dish to give it oodles of flavour. Can be served with chips or salad as an accompaniment, and a selection of dips and sauces. | Vegetarian |
|
Pumpkin and Feta Ravioli | A very popular pasta dish in vegetarian restaurants with delicate but lightly spiced pumpkin and rich feta cheese. The pasta is normally served with either a burnt butter sauce, including garlic, or with a spinach and finely chopped tomato sauce with herbs. A sprinkling of pine nuts usually completes the dish. | Vegetarian |
|
Tomato Risotto | A simple but effective dish of Arborio rice and tomatoes, garlic and basil as the accompanying herb. The rice is cooked in a pan with white wine, seasoning and garlic with the finely chopped tomatoes being added towards the end. A touch of cream and a scattering of basil completes the dish with some parmesan cheese also added towards the end. Plenty of French or Italian bread to wipe your bowl with is a good idea! | Vegetarian |
|
Turkish Coffee | Known throughout the world for its strength and depth of flavour, it is normally ordered according to the amount of sugar you require! A little (az), medium (orta) or lots (cok sekerli). This coffee must be drunk in small sips, particularly as you will find lots of coffee grounds at the bottom. | Turkish |
|
Ayran | Definitely for the discerning taste, this is a liquid yoghurt drink made by whipping yoghurt with water and salt. It is served cold and fresh and must be drunk that way, no saving for later. It is served in restaurants, but also in Turkish delis and Turkish sandwich shops. | Turkish |
|
Beer | There are several good Turkish beers that some restaurants import. Efes Pilsen is the No. 1 beer which comes in cans or bottles. A good wheat beer is Gusta. | Turkish |
|
Juices | A large selection of fresh juices are normally available, being made at the counter. Varieties of vegetable and fruit, some with the addition of spices. A spicy carrot and tomato juice is fantastic as it will contain ginger and cumin but classics such as fresh berry juice with strawberries, blackberries and blueberries are also very popular | Vegetarian |
