Turkish delight

turkish meat

We came across a wonderful Turkish restaurant on the day we moved to our new flat and just keep going back! The meat is cooked on red hot coals and is so tender and tasty, it just melts in the mouth (sorry if there are any veggies reading!) The tantalizing smell of  barbecued meat wafts out into the street drawing you in and the restaurant is always packed! It can be difficult to get a seat but luckily we've  never been turned away.
