DC Restaurant – Ottoman Taverna 🇹🇷✨

Discovered this gem of a Turkish restaurant next door when Baan Siam was closed on Monday! 😅 They offer an express lunch menu – just $25 per person for 3 courses, which is such great value! 🥘💫 Adana Kebap: Tasted a bit like Xinjiang-style meat from back home – well-seasoned, though slightly salty. The meat was super tender! Moussaka: Rich layers of ground beef, eggplant, and potatoes topped with cheese – so hard to go wrong with that! 🧀🍆 Baklava: Exactly what you’d expect from a classic baklava – sweet and flaky! Sutlac: This was the star for me – a not-too-sweet, cool and refreshing rice pudding. Perfect finish! 🍚❤️ Have you tried Turkish food before? What’s your favorite dish?
