| - My wife and I just checked this place out last week.
We arrived just as they were closing, but the owner, Omur, politely offered to make us our pides to go. He went through the menu with me and explained all the different kinds of pides. They all looked really good. We decided on the roasted lamb with cheese and the sucuk with cheese.
I watched Omur make our pides and he was really friendly, walking me through the process of preparation and cooking. He really enjoys what he does and it definitely shows in the quality of the food.
In about 7 minutes our pides were done. He prepared some onions, tomatoes, lemon wedges, parsley, and hot peppers as garnish and packed everything up neatly in a pizza box.
The bill came to just over $20 with tax and it was worth every penny. The roasted lamb pide was delicious as was the sucuk. The dough was finished with an egg wash which gave the pides a beautiful look and texture and the meat in both was amazing. The lamb pide was closed, while the sucuk was open, more like a pizza in appearance. They were very fresh and flavourful. They are decent size pides as well; we couldn't finish them and had a little left over to snack on for lunch the next day.
We've tried the pides from Zeitoun and my wife and I both prefer Omur's hands down.
This place is a gem: great food, great service, and reasonably priced. Be sure to give Omur a visit and try out his fantastic pides.
