New: Restaurant - Caravanserei, West End.
It is a rare occasion that my entire family is together, so this Friday night we decided to venture out into the night in search of a restaurant to satiate 6 adult appetites. A friend recommended Caravanserei to me 2 years ago during my New Years Resolution (which was to try a different cuisine every month), however unfortunately, I never made it to this gem. I am so glad I have managed to return.
The food was, in a word, spectacular! We got a banquet meal which meant that everyone got to try a little bit of everything (and a *lot* of freshly baked Turkish bread – yum!).
We started out with an entrée of Mezes which included an amazing cheesy-aioli dip, a greenish herby dip, hummus, stuffed olives ,pickled carrots and some kind of dumpling things.
And then the main began. Oh the main. We each got a chicken shish kebab (which was actually heaven on a stick), meatballs with couscus (which was actually my favourite part of the whole night – I have never liked couscous until this moment!), a seafood riceything, a vegetable stack (Which mostly seemed to be haloumi) and a spinach filo pastry. After this, each member of the family was about ready to birth some serious food-infants, however when dessert was served, no one could resist.
Real Turkish delight is the nectar of the gods.
I can't recommend this place highly enough. Service was super-fast and friendly, the food was amazing and while a bit expensive, absolutely worth it. You can check out their menu here.
