Going to a Turkish restaurant, never really had their food before

Get ready for cumin, and lots of it.

oh good, I'm a spic, I love comino, anything I should stay away from?

Southeast EU / Middle East is one of the few places that does lamb right outside of the UK / Ireland.

yeah I'm looking at this menu and EVERYTHING is fucking lamb, I'm wondering if you've had experience with turkish food and can recommend a particular dish, the review for this place are good but I wanna do more than just regular meat on a stick

Only experience with Greek specifically. Turkish really is about the kebab though, I'd recommend a cucumber sauce if they have it. Hard to go wrong with a fresh shwarma .

I've never tried a ME or Turkish dish I didn't like, but I haven't had a lot. Should actually be similar to what you're familair with in that a lot of meals are a heavily seasoned meat + beans and vegetables + bread. Turkish delight is worth trying for dessert if you've never had it before, but you might not like it. I'm not sure if the Turks do it too, but the Morrocans make a really great hot mint tea called touareg. Midly sweet, it makes a great after-dinner drink. They say mint is good for the digestion after all.

I was hoping this thread would get more replies.

And here's me hoping I could be an astronaut one day, but we can't always get what we want now, can we?

That's terror

Halva. Not really of turkish origin, but you'll get it there. Try it, it's a very sweet dessert though.

Baklava motherfucker. Also if they happen to prepare Sultan kebab, make sure to try it, although it might be names differently
