Turkish Kebab by masato-in-london

Though limited in scope there are fresh vegetables grown along the coast but as one moves into the interior, wheat and other crops become more common.

The primary dishes which make up the modern diet are kolle (boiled wheat, beans, chickpeas), sautéed meat with vegetables, tomato civesi, hibes, arapasi, tandir kebab and the local jellies.

Food is extemely cheap, and good. Full meals will cost you about 5 to 10 New Turkish Lira, about 3 to 7 US Dollars. Service is amazing, and only matched by its genuine friendliness. One caveat to be aware of is to make sure the quoted price is the same as the price written on the menu. One must experience the desserts, it is a must.
