*Turkish citizen review below*
The food was generally tasty. I had the chicken döner, it was tender and clearly good quality. However, the bread portion was quite small, and that made the dish feel not filling.
My boyfriend’s plate (köfte) came with half a pepper turşu, which we weren’t sure was meant as a joke or a creative garnish — either way, it felt odd. On my own plate, there was a sweet red paste that tasted quite un-Turkish. Maybe they were trying to make “acuka” paste? If so, sadly, it ain’t it. I would rather put turşu instead.
On the bright side, the wine pairing was surprisingly good 😏 a bio wine that was fresh and light, and honestly, I wish it were more common to have döner with wine in Turkey!
We finished with baklava, which was unfortunately very disappointing. It wasn’t made with pistachios (a sign of stinginess or “homemade-ness” in turkey, in this case idk which one they went for 🙃) , and the texture was flat and soaked in syrup with no sign of buttery layers- especially surprising here in “butterland” France. I told my European boyfriend to forget this one; this baklava just wasn’t it.
If they improve and invite us, I would love to come back 😏😏😏
