We loved this restaurant and enjoyed all our dishes. The good thing about small plates, at modest prices, is if a member of your party doesn't care for a dish it's no big deal. The salads, the kebabs, the dips, the seafood... everything was first rate as was the service. Only dish that faltered (and we had 10 among four of us) was the moussaka. Terrific meal! They need to pay more attention to their Yelp listing - there's a full bar, excellent cocktails, and they take credit cards - despite the Yelp listing.

As I get further into my twenties, I've found that restaurants have an increasing tendency to play their music very loud. I'm sorry, and call me old fashioned, but one of the main things about going out for dinner is that you are there to have a conversation with the person you are with. I'm not there to get my groove on. Anyway, I digress. I really enjoy Greek/Turkish and Middle Eastern Food which is what this place specialises in. We chose some mezze plates including the chicken souvlaki, soutzoukakia (meatballs), the Moroccan Chicken Tagine and the Loukaniko. It was mouth watering. It was great value too, the portion sizes were manageable and we left very happy customers.

It was late, the restaurant wasnt busy but the reception was welcoming. The decor was pleasant, with pretty hanging lights this small restaurant had a Turkish v modern twist. I enjoyed my meal Alla Turca Mixed Grill (see picture). I decided to try the Fruit Creme Brulee but found it extremly rich and creamy so settled for enjoying my complimentry champagne cocktail whilst I eyed up my friend Baklava :-). Great choice of food, set menu and ala cart - Worth a visit.

Alla Turca is definitely the latter. Waiting made me thirstier and thirstier! This was a Saturday night but we were there for 3 hours just for 3 courses! A long time to sit on plastic chairs. When we were served by a nice gentleman, accompanied by the string plucking of a Turkish guitar player, the Barbequed Chicken Shish wasn't the best I had tasted, but wasn't the worst. Otherwise my starter of falafel and houmous were lovely. A good quick stop for dinner with a different sort of music, but not a nights worth of entertainment.

I've stopped in here with the Mr several times after being out for a night. Once we've had a few beers we only really want pakora or chips/curry sauce, so I can't comment on the full menu.

International Food Night is one of my favourite recurring unofficial Yelp events and Rocco G always…read morefinds somewhere really interesting to take us to. This time we were meant to be going somewhere else, but this place really impressed. From the outside, it looks just like a casual takeaway but there's actually a restaurant out the back too. Rocco had booked us a table and we had the space to ourselves which was quite fun. Looking over the menu there was a really impressive selection and I'd say most people should be able to find something they'd be excited to order. Of course I went for the aubergine starter (imam bayildi) which is served cold and in tomato sauce. The aubergine had been cooked for a long time so it was lovely and soft and incredibly delicious. It was also really nice to have a cold starter as it was quite refreshing. For mains, I had the chicken shish which came with rice. It could've used some kind of sauce I thought, maybe some yoghurt but I did really enjoy it. It was a generous size portion and I couldn't actually finish it in the end. While this restaurant is pretty casual I felt like we were well looked after, and the bill came to around £16 per person which I thought was reasonable for two courses and many soft drinks. It's handy for a pre-drink at the Laurieston too.

The first time I walked past this place I did have a bit of a laugh about the name, it really doesn't look like much from the outside. I really did wonder what we'd be in for as we gathered in an empty back room for International Food night.. Thankfully initial impressions don't always ring true as this was a rather enjoyable evening. So yes, Falafel & Houmous were ordered & devoured as I'd worked up quite an appetite that day. To be honest, you could easily have 1 starter & 1 main course between two, which would mean you could try the Baklava (you know you want to!) The Houmous was really good, it was flavourful and had the perfect consistency for spreading on the mountain of fresh flatbread that accompanied it. I think I could've kept eating it until I keeled over! The Falafel plate that came out as my main course was huge. Thankfully about 1/3 of it was salad so that I didn't end up overdosing on chickpeas, as the other 2/3 of the plate was Falafel & (more) Houmous. The Falafel was a little overcooked on the outside, but it was perfectly cooked on the inside. Oh yeah did I mention there was yet more flatbread! After that meal I figured I'd carb loaded for the rest of the month, it was about 49% chickpeas, 49% flatbread & about 2% salad & drinks. The great thing about Kervan Palace is despite the modest surroundings, the food was pretty authentic & tasty, the seemingly lone member of staff was really friendly and obliging (despite having a group of 14 hungry Yelpers & 8 folk up front watching Fenerbache v Ajax). I have to say I've thought about going back for another taste of the Houmous & Imam Bayildi, which means that this seemingly hidden wee gem has found itself another fan!

Of a wild, wet, wintry evening, my friends and I ventured off the beaten track to come to Sholeh…read morefor a birthday meal. The birthday girl had heard good things, and we were but slaves to her will. :P This cosy Iranian restaurant is situated in Tradeston, a short walk from the squiggly footbridge that snakes across the river, so it's not too far away from town really. Iranian food is the way to go if you want to explore food from the middle east but aren't keen on spice. Food from this region typically carries more sweet and sour flavours with very little spice. It is rich and flavourful without being overpowering. Watch out for the portion sizes, because most food from the middle east (especially starters) is served with the intention of sharing among your fellow diners. My friends didn't believe me and ended up with HUGE starters which I ended up having to share. Oh, the hardship! :P The two starters we ordered were Mast-o Musir, a homemade yoghurt dip mixed with finely diced shallots and served with naan, and Kashk-e Bademjan, which is baked, crushed aubergine that has been slow cooked with garlic and herbs, topped with a sprinkling of crushed walnuts, sautéed chopped mint and a splash of kashk (a traditional Persian preserved yoghurt whey). Both where delicious! Although the Musir sounds simple, the understated flavour was spot on when paired with the sesame covered naan. And of course the Bademjan was just bursting with flavour. We ordered another naan to go with it. Interestingly, naan and other types of bread are very precious in Iran, which we didn't realise. So when we ordered two naan to share between us, not realising there was already a naan going to be served with a starter, the waiter informed us it would be too much. And he wasn't wrong. :) For the main, one of my friends ordered the spicy chicken kebab (not Iranian and not for sharing, but one of the few spicy foods on the menu... and it is SPICY). The birthday girl and I ordered Baghali Polo ba Mahiche, which is only available on the weekend. It is a dish of saffron rice cooked with fresh dill and hand peeled broad beans, served with a lamb shank that is slow cooked for 12 hours! You won't believe just how tender and tasty it is. It literally falls off the bone. And it's such a big dish that I couldn't finish it as well as have dessert! I know, I'm naughty. But the waitress packed it up for me to take away. I love it when a restaurant is prepared for such eventualities! There is an interesting array of desserts available some exotic and some UK staples, so I decided to try some saffron ice cream. It was so fragrant and punctuated with toasted pistachio nuts. Just to die for. The birthday girl opted for the café glacé which was basically a creamy coffee float, and my other friend picked her go-to dish - chocolate fudge cake. We ate our desserts REALLY slowly because we didn't want to go outside again. In fact, we were in the restaurant until closing time and the staff were sweet and courteous and never gave the impression they wanted us out. After we were done, we ordered a pot of mint tea, which was to be poured into glasses with saucers. The saucers are pretty deep, and I'm informed that because the glass keeps the tea so hot that traditionally people pour the tea into the saucer to drink it. All in, a cultural culinary adventure. Try it and be delighted!
