| - Amazing spot for the Kebap experience.
Servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. The space is airy and modern. Love the feeling. Copper lined ocakbasi is very traditional and beautiful.
We tried the following; Pacanga, ?cli Kofte, Pilaki, Yaprak Sarma, Findik Lahmacun, Beyti, Adana, Feta and of course Raki.
Pacanga definitely needed more filling.
Cumin was a bit too much on the icli kofte, the texture and filling was perfect.
Pilaki was good. I'm not a huge fan of the potatoes in it but the taste was perfect.
The leaves on the yaprak sarma were tough. This may be due to the season but the veins could have been removed.
Findik (means hazelnut and refers to the small size of the lahmacun as an appetizer) lahmacun wasn't so findik, they were almost full size lahmacun. Nonetheless, it was amazingly good, by far the best lahmacun I've had in Canada.
Feta definitely needed to be a better quality. Raki feta should be much softer and fattier.
Beyti was amazing, yogurt that came with it was the best yogurt I've had in a while.
My adana was on the tougher side, I would have liked a much softer texture and bulgur rice on the side instead of normal rice. The taste and spice on the other hand, was perfect.
They plate everything, meaning all has garnish on it. I think this is a way of Canadianizing the food and is not needed(and creates too much waste). The ara sicaks (or the appetizers) should come out like they do in any high end Turkish Kebap place; the server brings the pacanga, icli kofte or findik lahmacun on plate and distributes it to the customer at the table. No one is going to question the price tag as long as the quality and experience is genuine.
Overall, the best Turkish Kebap I've had in the city.
Way to represent guys!
