What we ordered: Bosporus Mixed Grill + Plain White Rice.

Our experience: As a starter for our lunch, we were served a giant airated flat bread topped with sesame seeds. It also came with a small serving of well-prepared hummus as a dipping sauce. This was a simple dish and the combination worked well as an appetizer.

A while later we were served the mixed grill dish that was richly spiced and mouth - wateringly aromatic (I believe it was the parsley). The meat we were served was fresh, tender, and juicy, and the leftover hummus from earlier added to the already spectacular taste palette of the whole dish.

I'm not sure what else went into preparation of the hummus other than chickpeas, but I'm certain it can take your plain white rice to another level (bc that's what it did for us!).

When we were done with our main course, we were served complimentary black teas (I don't know if it was Turkish tea or just regular tea), and oh what a delight they were! It is served without any sugar so you can enjoy it as you please. It made dining here feel like such a treat and what better way to wrap up a lunch from here?

It was our first time trying Turkish cuisine and all in all, we had a positive experience.

Highlights: (1) Our waiter, who was educated and aware enough to adjust our service and orders to accommodate my gluten intolerance. She did her best to keep me safe from allergens and to keep cross contamination to a minimum (2) The complimentary bread+hummus and tea.

Suggestion: Generally speaking, all of our stomachs would be happier if the serving sizes were upgraded to include some more in quantity, especially with the grills.
