Embarking on a culinary adventure, I found myself in the midst of one of the most remarkable pide experiences in Europe. Surprisingly, it surpassed the flavors encountered in many establishments in Turkey, known for its rich culinary heritage. Opting for the etli ekmek, a special pide from the city of Konya, proved to be an exemplary choice. The blend of seasoned meat and perfectly baked crust created a symphony of taste that lingered on the palate, setting a new standard for my pide expectations.
The journey through this gastronomic delight began with a delightful prelude—a bowl of chicken soup that truly stood out in its richness and taste. The service and ambiance added layers of perfection to the overall dining experience. The atmosphere was carefully crafted to enhance the enjoyment of the meal, creating a space where every bite was not just a consumption but a celebration of flavors.
Remarkably, this culinary gem was discovered through the recommendation of a local Viennese resident. The satisfaction derived from this dining experience is a testament to the authenticity and quality of the establishment. From the rich cultural tapestry of Konya's etli ekmek to the warmth of the service, every element harmonized to create a memorable and deeply satisfying culinary journey. This encounter has undoubtedly set a new standard for my pide experiences, proving that exceptional culinary delights can be found even beyond the borders of their place of...
Read moreIt was a very good choice for halal restaurant that we made. It’s a Turkish restaurant where according to a waiter the the source of meet is cut by themselves and he confidently told it was halal.
The service was good in terms of advice but you should little bit before getting your order taken. We paid 54 euros for two food, 4 bardak tea.
One thing that was frustrating was the price for bardak (Turkish glass for tea) tea. It costed 1.80 euros each which is very expensive and nobody notifies you about it. It’s written in the menu, but in a small letters. As it’s usually offered by the Turkish restaurants for free, we didn’t expect to be charged this much for each small piece of tea. The other restaurant just nearby doesn’t charge, for example.
It’s hard to eat meat with no tea. Always be mindful about the prices and double check the menu in Turkish restaurants. You might end up paying at the end for something you totally didn’t expect. They are pro in these tricks.
Overall, the food was very delicious except the extra cost we paid outside of our budget plan...
Read moreDo you believe in fate? I don’t, but sometimes it feels like it’s at play. I was wandering around Favoriten, and the Turkish restaurant I had planned to visit was closed. So I Googled for another option—and by sheer luck, Damak Etli Ekmek came up. The people there are incredibly warm and hospitable, and the service was impressively fast, even though the restaurant was nearly full. The side dishes were generous and filling (like Korean hospitality), including a fresh tomato dip, yogurt dip, a vibrant. It was almost too much. The soup (which sadly, I can’t remember the name of) was a delightful surprise. It is one of those special dishes not available every day. The meat melts in your mouth, and the broth is rich with flavor and umami—it truly was the highlight of my meal. The Turkish pizza (again, I apologize for not recalling the name) was also enjoyable, though I’d still say the soup stole the show. While the price was a bit on the high side, the generosity of the portions made it feel like a...
