| - It is sort of funny, the day we were supposed to leave for Montreal, the weird foods guy on the travel channel went here. So I quickly found out how to find it and get there. It was worth the trip. But I'm also amused by why there isn't a line out the door! It was on TV just a couple of days before we were there and it has great things.
After recovering from our confusion on how to order and pay (go to the counter with the nice ladies at it first) we decided to try the mixed plate. Three kinds of grilled goodies, roasted veggies, onion and parsley salad, tomatoes, salty pickles, hummus and pita. At about $14 for 1/2 kilo it is a good amount for two hungary tourists. Although, when we ordered the woman ringing up our order thought we wanted 1 1/2 kilos and not 1/2 kilo. When she asked for $44 I probably was a little pale but we soon worked it out. We also got some tabule and drinks and made it out of there with a bunch of food. Just a counter to east at, but across the street and down a bit was a great park to try out the grilled bits.
The kafka kebabs were very nice. Not dried out like they often are, but could have used something. The steak Kebab were excellent. I would have either again. The chicken, dried out but it is rare to get some that are not, the seasoning on them were good, but these just weren't up to the level the other two were. The rest of the items were all very good, flavorful and yummy. I wish I cold have tried other things and the butcher section looked amazing. Another trip then.
We took the metro out to the last top and waked to Abu Elias and then found a bus back. Worth a trip out and when public transit works to get there, what is stoping you?
