Typical Turkish dishes served up with plenty of smiles. Good salads and standard vegetable dishes such as taze fasulye (green bean stew) and stuffed peppers complement more meaty offerings of saç tava (cubed lamb with tomatoes, peppers and garlic) and şiş kebap (roast skewered meat). There's cosy booth-style seating inside or tables outside (basically in a car park).
