Lunch facing the Bosphorus

That's our lunch. I had a lamb sheesh kebab and Shyama had buttered prawns. One interesting thing: we had just ordered these two dishes. We were served bread and tea on the house. Yummmmmmmm
Olivier Rocheif you want to have a nice Indian and/or Turkish dinner, go for the Dubb, near Hagia Sophia. ask for a table on the rooftop (go there early). it's a 4-storey restaurant with no elevator and the waiters run up and down all evening long. good food and great view on Sophia 😉. When seated, you should be given both the Turkish and Indian menus. Ask for both if not!
旅行者Merci beaucoup. C'est vraiment utile. Nous irons demain déjeuner là-bas. Nous allons à Hagia-Sophia demain.
