The thing about Turkish food is the sauce.
I've had Turkish food in restaurants all over the world and say quite consistently that it is my favourite food. In my experience Turkish food is always defined by the sauce recipe of the family that makes it no matte how hole-in-the-wall it is or upscale. The chef/cooks family recipe seems to define whether its horrible or amazing.
And this place. I've avoided writing a review about this place cause well they're doing just fine with out the internet. I'm pretty sure the place across the street opened up (the one with the red and white sign) cause of how good this place became to be known. Not.Even.Close.
This place has a really basic menu that has everything you want. I'm talking about the veal with rice. spicy. all the sauces. Thats it. Fine the chicken is really good too but its about the sauce.
When this husband and wife couple opened this restaurant in 2002ish I was halfway through Ryerson and they kept me coming there almost daily cause that buttery rice and the sauce was so damn good with veal or chicken. Take a hike salad.No room for you! Anyways fast forward over a decade later in many different countries and cities lots of Turkish food later and when I moved back to Toronto. The sauce is still exactly the same and turns out its the best I've been able to find. In this city. In this country. On this continent. In this hemisphere. In the other hemispheres. Anywhere. Just he best I have ever had. They had a son or nephew in his teens when I went while in school. I hope they taught him the recipe. cause that stuff is so good not to pass down. Oh and uhhh, Internet, don't go there, yeah they're busy, with umm stuff.
