This is the perfect restaurant for a Friday night. It serves dinner, alcohol and shisha! The décor is very Turkish like and the restaurant has a beautify lady to do belly dance during the dinner service. However, the food isn’t Turkish at all and the staffs don’t know what they are doing, horrendous.

I have been carving for Raki since moving back from London, after a year wait, finally, at the end, I have tasted it again.
Red Lentail SoupThe Lentail is cooked well and the soup is nicely seasoned. However, the soup is rather watery; it wasn’t a thick soup at all. It wasn’t Turkish alike.
Chicken and Lamb shish Shish are often grill on top of charcoal, dry the outside to seal the meat and keeping the meat moist inside. The meat weren’t marinated in the traditional Turkish way (salt, pepper, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper) and wasn’t grilled on top of charcoal. However, the meat was still tender, yet moist and the chilli sauce gave the meat some taste, because the meat was not seasoned.
Grilled Salmon (0/10)I asked the waiter, what you would recommend. He suggested swordfish; surprisingly, a grilled salmon was delivered instead or I am an ignorant that I didn’t know Hong Kong’s swordfish is not white. The fish was over grilled, but somehow nicely seasoned. Ridiculously that the dish was served with jasmine rice instead of bastami rice and I was wondering where those grilled big green chilli were!
Pomegranate Tea
Finally, there is something Turkish to go with the shisha.
Other than the décor, belly dance and the name of the restaurant, I don’t see anything Turkish. I still believe it is one of the hot spot for a Friday evening, since its offer the full package from dinner to alcohol and shisha. Is it a Hong Kong way of Turkish cuisine, if so, bloody unbelievable.
