Last night I decided to try a restaurant / hot table recommended by a restauranteur and unofficial Turkish ambassador friend of mine from the office. Tucked away at the corner of Keele and Wilson is the deceivingly spacious Best Kebab and Doner. When I walked in I immediately noticed a wood burning oven and the smell of delicious bread baking. Great first impression.
My wife and I sat down to order and were welcomed by a friendly and knowledgeable waitress who taught us about some of the more traditional menu items.
We ordered the Turkish Pide, lentil soup and chicken kebab meal. Complimentary bread and yogurt/tomato/cucumber dip comes with your order. It is similar to Tzatziki but better . The bread is inflated with hot steam like a balloon so you must poke it and allow it to deflate a little before eating. That was the most fun!
This place likes to add a little kick to their dishes. It was a little spicy for my wife but I love pepper so my opinion is a little biased.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The lentil soup was subtle yet satisfying. The kebab was succulent and the Pide made in the wood burning oven was fantastic and true to the Turkish tradition.
Portion sizes were very generous and prices are reasonable .
If you chose to be seated in the back you will see pictures of all of the iconic Turkish sites including Roman baths and a Massive ancient Cistern among other visual delights.
An awesome experience!
