The food was excellent. The waiter was patient and provided a suggestion - a platter with rice and several different meats. Our vegan diner had the Mezze dishes which were very good. And, did I say that the food was excellent, not to mention the fantastic baklava for dessert. It was a fantastic time for all of us and a very fair price. I need to come back again soon - and I really need to visit Turkey.
