| - The Meze platter (a collection of cold appetizers) was amazing, from the hummus and tabouli to the eggplant. What a great start to our meal.
I ordered the lamb okra and my husband ordered the lamb adana (missing nutrients in our diet, perhaps?). My lamb okra was just OK. It likely had to do with the overwhelming amount of okra in my stew... but I also wonder if some ingredients weren't as fresh, since something tasted slightly off throughout my meal. My husband's lamb was much tastier though - more seasoned. Also, I know everyone else was very pleased with their meal (e.g., liver cubes), so I'm willing to guess I had an uncommon occurrence.
But the desserts are phenomenal, which is quite amazing since I'm not a dessert girl. My favorite was the kadayif. Granted, it looked nothing like it's picture but it tasted so good - much like a baklava but less sweet; the cheese balanced the sweetness and phyllo beautifully. A close second was the baked rice pudding - very fluffy and delightful, with the perfect amount of cinnamon to top it off. The baklava was very tasty as well (but how can you say no to baklava?). My father-in-law raved about his Turkish delight, so it was a very good time!
Parking was a hassle, but I would definitely come back for dessert someday! Seemed like the area may be reviving?
