Silk Road Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11185 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11185 Destan Turkish restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8919 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8919 Nargile http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7766 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7766 Tas Pide restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6018 Food is Anatolian, and you get an awful lot for your money. Tas Pide is part of a chain, but to my mind it's only this branch which has such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and such great food - possibly because everything is cooked in the big wood-fired oven.
As you sit down waiters bring over a free dish of soup, warm bread and a dip. They'll keep refilling the bread, but try not to eat too much as portions are very generous. Hot starters are fantastic, but I think that the star of the show is the main of slowcooked shoulder of lamb - lamb incik. Pide - turkish pizza - is okay, but meat and fish better. Service is friendly, and the food and drink is ridiculously cheap for the location. I think we spent £35-40 last time for way too much food and drink for the two of us. In the evenings you might want to book, and they have live, but not intrusive, music then too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6018 Hanedan http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5002 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5002 Sydney Road, Brunswick http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4718 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4718 Rotana http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4705 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4705 Various areas and streets http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4542 Victoria Street: Vietnamese restaurants
