This is my first review so.......I live 2 minutes from The Agacan and since i usually visit Turkey at least once a year, i thought i would try this place.
The Agacan is a well known restaurant having been established in Dundee for many years. Its a small restaurant with not many covers, however they do sell takeaways, quite a lot! This makes the entrance to the place very cramped and quite difficult at times and usually by 7pm or 8pm they will have sold out of doner kebab.
My last order was the Adana Kebab £12ish, having loved this in Turkey i thought i would here. I ordered the takeaway and was told they dont usually do the specials as takeaway but will do this time because it was quiet. Always a friendly welcome, the kitchen is so small there is a hive of activity, smells were delicious, paid, got my food and away.
When i opened the container, the Adana kebab was more like a thin version of a kofte, sliced down the middle, sitting on a bed of a squared pitta bread and chilli sauce, a portion of rice, portion of salad and another pitta. I felt the meat was overcooked, quite dry and for the price..........well overpriced. I couldnt fault the salad or rice, i dont think the pitta's were hand made and i was left with a disappointed taste in my mouth.
I would recommend trying the place but not if your searching for that real turkish authenticity, the meats are ok, but bulked with pitta, rice and salad. read more
