Kuzu şiş

Meat Dish

The unique thing about this place is the constant cycle of grilling, so charcoal is available at all hours of the day. You can enjoy your preferred skewer in a casual and friendly atmosphere without waiting for hours. The amount of meat in the lamb skewer was good, and it was nicely spread inside the wrap. Although the wrap bread looked thick, it was soft and managed to become a cohesive whole by absorbing the sauce. I think if the amount of spices were reduced and the meat flavor were brought out a little more, it would be an even more successful wrap.

Restaurant Specific Dishes

TürkiyeAkali Cepa· Çankaya/Ankara

In my opinion, this was by far one of the best items on the shop; the thickly sliced onion rings, despite being crispy in the breading, were beautifully cooked. The breading had a slightly sweet taste, which almost made the onion rings resemble Turkish lokma (a type of Turkish dessert). I liked it.

Burger

Meat Dish

TürkiyeAkali Cepa· Çankaya/Ankara

The standard burger consists of a bun, patty, and cheddar cheese, but you're expected to add about 10 different toppings to your burger. Or maybe it's some kind of puzzle, I couldn't quite figure it out. Instead, I think it would have been better to highlight a few of their signature products. Since they're focusing on the standard burger, I opted for the standard one. The burger patty is 80g, but you can't really taste the flavor that way; you can add more, but then the already exorbitant price increases even more. The bun is soft and has a nice texture, but it doesn't offer a unique flavor. I don't feel the need to go back.

Chicken Shish Wrap

Sandwiches and Wraps

TürkiyeDürümle· Yenimahalle/Ankara

This wrap always gets a score above 7. Unlike other wraps, it's not drenched in sauce; at least you can trust that there's chicken in it, since it's a chicken skewer. The sauce has a nice, not-too-burning spiciness. The fries are a bit bland, in my opinion. I want to taste the chicken from the first bite.
