This cozy establishment's Turkish owner,
Seref Sengun, formerly ran a Turkish eatery in Taichung
county's Wufeng for over four years but decided to move
to the city and open a storefront right by the intersection
of HuaMei Road and MingYi Street--behind Sogo and just
off of the canal. One of the specialties here is oval-shaped
Turkish pizzas, which come in beef, lamb, chicken and
fish varieties (NT$180), or a combination Ottoman style
with several kinds of meat. The Lahmacun is also a pizza
but without the cheese. Other entrees include various
Durum beef, lamb, chicken and other rolls (NT$180),
as well as kebabs, Turkish-style spaghetti and rice
dishes, and big loaves of fresh-baked bread (NT$50-60)
in flavors like cumin and parsley. To accompany your
meal, there are yogurts, the Cacik yogurt appetizer,
yogurt drinks, Turkish Coffee (NT$150), fruit teas and
a tasty Rice Pudding dessert (NT$60). Bottles of Turkish
extra virgin olive oil and Turkish scented soaps (lavender,
rosemary, etc.) are also sold here. Pizzas and many
other items may be ordered for take-away. Seref is more
than happy to introduce dishes to local customers in
his engaging Turkish-Taiwanese accented Mandarin. --By
