Vikas came up with the brilliant idea to drive down to the Turkish area of Mannheim for dinner. I had my eyes set on the restaurant named 'Istanbul' since the last time I was there. I had never eaten Turkish food (apart from the ubiquitous Doener). This was the perfect opportunity to explore.
Walking down the streets, we checked various menu's but hardly found anything vegetarian. It wasnt a surprise. But the menu as Istanbul definitely was!!!! It had close to 2 pages of vegetarian dishes on its menu. To add to it, a whole assortment of Baklavas too.
They make their own bread in this place and it was delicious. This was just the starter. Then the main course. The portions were HUGE!!!! but everything we ordered was EXTREMELY TASTY. We stuffed ourselves as much as we could feeling guilty to leave behind such good food. But we did leave some space for the Baklavas...they were just amazing!!!!!!
Having such a variety of vegetarian dishes in a Turkish restaurant was a big, big surprise to me.
Post dinner, we were forced to take a walk through the streets of Mannheim to let the food settle down a bit. But it was all worth every bit.
I cannot wait to get back to this place!!!
