Istanbul Cafe Description:
The sincere European flair of the host who greets you and the tantalizing aromas wafting across the dining room immediately signal the satisfying dining experience that lies ahead. For starters, the lentil soup and generous shepherd's salad of feta, tomatoes, cucumber and black olives are musts. Pleasingly seasoned, grilled beef and lamb slices tucked into pita or stacked along a mound of rice and steamed fresh vegetables take the ubiquitous gyro meat to a new level. The lamb osso buco, often a special, is first-rate as are the tender, flavorful chicken kebabs and stuffed cabbage rolls. The accompanying warm pita halves and fruity olive oil for dipping is addictive, but restrain yourself as desserts are worth the calories. Savor the creamy rice pudding or multi-layered chocolate pistachio nut cake, which is generous enough for sharing. Or simply relax with a miniature cup of strong Turkish coffee.
