We’ve all got those favourite restaurants that we love to return to time and time again whether it’s for a date night, birthday meal or a family celebration
But sometimes it’s nice to discover new places with the hope of adding them to our list of firm favourites.
That’s why on a drizzly, autumnal Tuesday evening we find ourselves at the delightful Alaturka BBQ Restaurant in Wyle Cop.This part of town is renowned for its wide array of independent businesses and is always worth a visit. A friendly waitress took our drinks order and gave time to peruse the menu further. It took us a while to read through all of the options and whittle it down.At this point, we were fairly hungry but we knew we wanted to make sure we would be leaving enough room for some baklava at the end of the meal.
I was looking at the traditional meat moussaka, made with lamb mince but there was also a vegetarian version available, which was listed on a different part of the menu.I didn’t say I wanted the meat version because I hadn’t appreciated there was another option but to be fair, the waitress, who would have known, didn’t clarify which one I was referring to either.
He chose the Alaturka Special Pide with minced lamb, spinach, sucuk, onion, tomatoes and mixed peppers. Thanks to us holding back on the bread, even though it was delicious, we still had room left to share a dessert.
