Mehmet Kokangul and his brother Umut offer some of the best Middle Eastern food in town. Mehmet's smoky grilled baba ganoush is excellent, and I highly recommend his Turkish Chicken plate. I first had their falafel sandwich, loaded with fries, when they were located in the Central Market. It's still one of my favorite light lunches.
FYI: I was told by the owner that the beautiful hand-woven rugs on the wall are from Turkey. But they're not prayer rugs, just decorative.
Don't forget Kim and Seasonal Palate [ Thu Apr 11 2013 9:14 AM ]
Though she's not always on a regular stake-out, I can always count on Kim and Seasonal Palate for her shrimp and oyster po'boys. The hot, fried oysters piled high on a bun would get me to Talin, even on a windy wet day.
I first tasted a pavlova when a colleague from Australia shared one with us at her going-away party. Absolutely heavenly mouthfuls of light, fruity goodness! Thanks for another recipe for my collection.
First 200 players (100 teams) will play for $5000 in prizes! Hosted by Rio Rancho Oktoberfest September 28-29, 2013.
