Istanbul Express Turkish Restaurant

Unclaimed

In Wan Chai, when I'm in the mood for a simple meal, I often go to a local kebab shop and have a beer. However, this time, I ended up at a nearby Turkish restaurant, which was quite empty when I arrived at around 9 pm, with only one other table of customers. I ordered the Beef Kebab, Turkish Fried Spring Roll, Turkish Salad, and a Turkish-style Lemonade. Before the food arrived, they had already provided us with a selection of sauces, including a tomato-based one and a spicy one, which I thought was a nice touch. When the dishes were served, I found the Turkish Salad to be a bit underwhelming in terms of flavor, so I added some salt to it. The Beef Kebab on the other hand, was quite enjoyable, with the meat cooked well and the various accompaniments complementing the flavors nicely. The Turkish Fried Spring Roll was a pleasant surprise, with a delightful cheese filling that paired well with the other dishes. Overall, while the meal wasn't bad by any means, I still prefer the kebab shop next door, which I find more satisfying and better suited to my tastes.

You absolutely have to try the Chicken Doner Rice—that combines tender chicken with perfectly cooked rice, making for a satisfying meal. Pair it with the creamy Hummus; its smooth texture and rich taste are perfect for dipping. And don't miss out on the Baklava for dessert; this sweet pastry, filled with nuts and drizzled with honey, is the perfect way to end your meal on a high note!

Nice service and the chef is cute always with smile ☺️
