5 /5 Virgil Stoian: Went there for dinner on a Monday evening with my wife and another couple.
Once we walked in, we were warmly greated by one of the chefs and then we went to the table where our friend was waiting for us.
The menus were already on the table, so we started thinking what we were going to have so by the time the last member of our group arrived, we could place the orders.
We started with a cold mix meze platter and 2 ayrans to drink. The flatbread that came with the platter was very nice and full of flavour as it had been warmed up on the grill where the meats were being done. On the platter there was a combination of yoghurt with spinach and herbs, hummus, olives, tabuleh and a few slices of cucumbers and tomatoes.
After thoroughly enjoying that, it was the time for the main event: the Dem Jumbo meal platter. As we were 4 people, we originally asked if this would be enough and our host was quick to reassure us that it will be. We were definitely impressed with the size of the platter. It had chicken breast, wings and lamb on top, flatbread in the middle and rice and bulgur wheat as the base. Everything was incredibly flavoured and we actually had to take some of the food as takeaway as it was too much.
At the end, we ordered some Turkish tea and baclava. The tea was nice and hot, so it helped with the digestion, whereas the baclavas sweetness was welcomed after all the meat intake.
The service was very good and the host was kind enough to take off the baclava from the bill, a small gesture which we appreciated.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice and quiet up until 2 large groups came in. They were having a good time, but they couldve been a bit more mindful about the other customers. This does not take anything from the great service we received.
Overall a very nice experience, incredible food and we would love to come back again.
