Sa facilité d'accès, son côté pratique avec la vente à emporter. Son décor typique (poèmes turcs traduits, photos de la Mosquée bleue Sainte Sophie, magnifique tableau représentant un bateau naviguant sur l'eau, laissant apparaître derrière lui un paysage grandiose) et une ambiance musicale du pays font de ce lieu un endroit intimiste, entre amis ou en couples. Grillades au feu de bois, différents kebab, l'Ankara Mezze (assortiment d'entrées), taboulés, Imam Bayaldi (aubergine farcie à la tomate) ou encore le Dugun Yemegi, repas du mariage (gigot d'agneau en ragoût au yaourt avec légumes) sont là pour faire découvrir les spécialités du pays. Un grand choix de vins turcs ou autres boissons comme le thé à la cannelle ou à la cerise accompagnent le repas. Avis aux amateurs, un apéritif vous est offert du lundi au jeudi soir.

So good. I came here because I've been craving Turkish food. I am a vegetarian and ordered the…read moreveggie meze platter (after a considerable amount of time on google translate). Probably the best Turkish food I have ever had. I couldn't even finish the plate. Must try if in Ghent! Feb 2019 - just as good as I remember! Be back next month!

This is a terrific Turkish restaurant located on a quiet street in the Patershol neighborhood just…read moreup the street from Gravensteen Castle. The ambiance is simple but lovely. The menu has many Turkish and Middle Eastern favorites that are all very tempting options. I decided on a meat stew during my visit, which was absolutely wonderful. But perhaps the best treat was my Turkish coffee. Baklava was offered as an accompaniment. Between the two, these were delightful finishing touches as the silver coffee service was quite elegant. The prices were fairly reasonable considering the quality of the experience. My main with a sparkling water and a coffee was €16.70. If you are in City Center Ghent and fancy Turkish cuisine, I would be confident in recommending this place as it is a very good value.

I wanted a cheap dinner the one night I was in Ghent. I came in around 6 PM on a Saturday. It was…read morealready super crowded. This place is really popular. I was seated and started with a rose (very cheap wine selections). I got a Turkish pizza with salami and an egg on top. It was really huge and came with a nice sized side salad. And it was served quick which I was happy with! I must have looked sad, eating alone, because after dinner they sent out some sweets and an after dinner drink for free which I thought was super sweet. I love restaurants that treat single diners special! Highly recommend!

I sometimes just buy the fries even without the kebabs, which is about 3 euros. I'd recommend their gallete with hannibal or the white sauce with green stuff that looks like chopped spring onions.

But there was too much fat on the lamb. - Pleasure: Both lamb and chicken were too chewy. The vegetables and sauce were okay but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't like potatoes.
