After a challenging 15KM hike on one of the Lantau Island trails, we (group of 4) decide to replenish ourselves at Bahce. We arrived around 7PM and all the tables inside were occupied. There was a tiny table outside where we could squeeze in, but we did not want to dine outside as almost everybody on the terrace were smoking Since the weather was nice, we agreed to start with an aperitif on the terrace and will move inside as soon as a table will come available.After 15 minutes or so a table le
We arrived around 7PM and all the tables inside were occupied. There was a tiny table outside where we could squeeze in, but we did not want to dine outside as almost everybody on the terrace were smoking Since the weather was nice, we agreed to start with an aperitif on the terrace and will move inside as soon as a table will come available.
After 15 minutes or so a table left and we could move inside, which was good because it started to get cold on the terrace. Quite simple but authentic looking menu and we decided to share a couple of their delicacies. The environment was very cozy, and the waiters were friendly and attentive. We decided to order a mixed Meze which included Hummus, Tahini, Olives, grilled green chilli pepper, fried Calamari rings, Falafel, spring rolls stuffed with Feta cheese and bread. It simply was a wonderful dish. Would have preferred that the Falafel would consist more chickpeas and spices, but other than that it was a delicious platter to share.
For main we decided to share a Lamb Kebab, Chicken Kebab, and a mixed salad. Baskets of bread and chips accompanied the main. Both Lamb and Chicken kebab were extremely tender, juicy and grilled to perfection. We all loved it. The portions were quite generous and we had little room spare for dessert, but we decided to share one portion of Baklava to sooth our sweet tooth. The Baklava was a little sad, the Phyllo pastry was not fluffy but just sticked to each layer and the honey got a bit hardened, because it came directly out of the fridge. The pre-packed ones from the supermarket tastes better.
Coffee, Espresso and Tea were strong in taste and hot.
The only downside is that the restrooms are located in the small alleyway outside the restaurant and shared with other local businesses. You might want to wash your hands after eating such a fingerlicious meal.
Would definitely come here again.
