Before we boarded what was to become our epic rail journey, we opted for a Turkish meal in Ankara.
It all looked rather agreeable and we were given a table by the window, with the team members seeming friendly and helpful. Note the jar of biber turşusu, or pickled peppers. More UK restaurants should perhaps do this….
The drink of Gods….
Other than the salad which I ordered and paid for, all of this was provided free of charge. More UK restaurants should do this as well….
I ordered a chicken kebab and this absolutely surprised and delighted me. The chicken was tender and had a depth of flavour, the salad element was fresh and the bread mopped up the juices nicely. A very agreeable little arrangement.
We were made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere was inviting and relaxed. The food was all well presented, it had taste and flavour to it, with the pricing being relatively low. This was a decent meal to have before what we thought would be a 22 hour rail journey, but that’s for another post.
