Turkish food

[Oma]

Tonight ,(well considering the time it's technically last night ) we went as a family to a new Turkish restaurant that's opened near us , it's the last family meal out for quite some time ,I must say we enjoyed every bite , it's a very long time since we had authentic Turkish food last time is when we visited Turkey about 10 years ago . All 7 of us had starters , main ,and desert ,plus coffee,s and drinks and it only came to £135 let than £20 a head , GS1 couldn't finish his so they packed it up for him to bring home . We never have 3 courses normally 2 at the most but it was delicious, I now can't sleep though I feel so full still . Once OH out of hospital and able to mingle again we all agreed we will go back . It's so nice to find a restaurant that everyone likes and good quality food, plus the young couple who run it all by themselves with just a chef were so attentive and coped with a almost full restaurant smoothly . A lovely night

It's good that you all enjoyed the meal Oma. Iv'e never tried Turkish food, even when we were in Turkey years ago.
I'm not one for foreign food at all. Much prefer English food. Hubby is a lot more adventurous with food than i am.

Oma we do love Turkish food we first tried it when in Turkey quite a few years ago I myself like to have the messe plate of mixed little entrees OH likes the spicy meats wrapped in cabbage leaves,we do have a restaurant opposite where I work but I have never been there for a meal it has a really good reputation so we must make the effort at sometime,well done to the owners it sounds as though they are really hard working people I hope their business does well for them.

I like Turkish food too Oma, we have a good restaurant around here.

Oma - what a lovely evening you enjoyed, with the promise of another night there when OH is fit and well again. I wish the young couple every success too. They certainly deserve it.

I've never tried Turkish food. OH isn't very adventurous and he'd only be persuaded to go somewhere new if one of the family dragged him there!

Must look for a Turkish restaurant, I think I would like it. I am hooked on Sushi, they sell it freshly made in Waitrose.

Pleased you enjoyed your meal Oma & good luck to the owners. Sorry you didn't sleep well. I haven't tried Turkish food.

[Oma]

Nana I don't sleep well anyway but last night it was my own fault I ate far too much to the point that I felt uncomfortable lying down 😀

You just brought to mind what my late mum used to call us if we ate too much ~ Gutsy Gerty. So Oma you're a little Gutsy Gerty. 😘

I'm interested to know what you had Oma as I've no idea what Turkish food is like. Is it spicy?I'm glad you had such a lovely time with all the family.

We had a filo pastry thing with minced lamb inside a bit like veg spring rolls, Falafel, a chick pea and Turkish sausage dish ,that was lovely not as spicy as I thought it would be , Turkish meat balls , lamb chops , lots of lovely things Clover , pudding was Baklava and ice cream and turkish rice pud , and a chocolate cake with pistachio nuts

There is an outstanding Turkish restaurant in Drury Lane that husband took me to when we were in town for my 60th last year. It is festooned with flowers outside and very "interesting" inside, looks like it should have been a theatre. Cannot remember what it was called but we intend to go back there again some time. Glad you had a good family evening Oma. Sending best wishes for a good outcome of B

I was an Au Pair in Istanbul in my youth. I loved the food and, of course the coffee. When we go to London we usually eat at Effie's which is a Turkish restaurant. We always have an enjoyable meal.
