Turkish food is delicious and also comes in a lot of variety. Doner (meat wraps/pitas) are common street and cheap food throughout the country. Shish kebabs are also very common featuring chicken beef or lamb. Pide which looks and tastes similar to a long oval thin crust pizza is also a norm. Along with regular pizza. For those interested in lighter fare, salads are plentiful featuring tomatoes and cucumber, stuffed grape leaves, and beans salads as well. Seafood specially sea bream, sea bass, shrimp, and calamari are the most common. Soups are also common usually lentil or bean based. All food is very fresh and spiced well. One thing not to forget to try is turkish delights a sweet rolled dessert or the turkish coffee.Les mer

If you're wondering why we're so fat, we thought these would be small plates, so we ordered a lot. Three plates would have filled us.
