My Palestinian friend highly regards this restaurant and brought me here a few weeks ago for dinner. Rice and Spice is located in Bahçelievler not too far from the metro station. It is a Yemenis restaurant, most famous for its 'pilav' dishes. The staff is very friendly and can speak to their customers in Arabic, English, and Turkish, however I think they prefer Arabic. While I only ate here once, it seemed that most of the customers were foreign students. The dishes are relatively affordable and quite large(!). 'Pilav' dishes come in full (40 tl) and half (30 tl) portions, and I definitely recommend a half because the large is very large- perhaps it's best for sharing. I ordered a half portion of the tavuk pilav and was only able to eat about 3/4 of it. My friend recommended asking for chicken thighs rather than breast because it's much juicer. Overall, I'd definitely come back again because the portions are generous and quite reasonable. read more
