Last year, Des told me about this Turkish place in Kalayaan. Finally a few weeks ago, we had a chance to try it out! We came early for dinner so it was still bright at 6pm
Here’s the owner, Mehmet 🙂 He was outside cooking the kebabs – the griller is right in front of the restaurant
It’s an open air restaurant. Looks like two lots which he occupied
Our table which is called the Garden area – it is right in the middle of the restaurant
So happy to be with our good friends, Mart and Sam and Ned and Janet
The bar and the kitchen
More seating areas on the left side
There is an enclosed room which is airconditioned. We found out later on that we could stay here and have airconditioning. I highly recommend this 🙂 I believe that the outdoor seating is being used also for late night drinking and smoking
More outdoor seating to the right
I was ready and came with my fans 🙂
We ordered bottled water – and this came. Hmmm…not sure if this is his bottled water in the menu or there was just no stock of bottled water. I forgot to clarify that
Yummy cold Yogurt drink
The menu is very simple and is just one page
We ordered Meze for appetizers -4 kinds- they come in small portions so we ordered 2 of each kind – eggplant salad, hummus, Babagahnus and another one which was not in the menu – made of carrots as recommended by Mehmet
The homemade bread which came with it was very good – here are the 4 dips – those are small platters – it might look deceiving in the photo
The carrot dip
Mehmet recommended the Chicken drumstick as one of his specialties so we ordered one of that
And the kebabs of course
There were several items on the menu not available like the shawarma which we were hoping to try. Mehmet does everything himself. There was a waitress but she could only serve and remove plates
The grill has a padlock to make sure it is not stolen – after all it is outside the house 🙂
Mixed kebab
Chicken Kebab on pasta
Kebab on bread
This came with the kebab bread 🙂
Another order of Mixed kebab for us 🙂 I personally preferred the chicken over the beef
Homemade ice cream! There was no stock of Baklava that evening
