Turkish rice is smaller, rounder and has an off-white colour. It's savoury and possibly more nutritious than white rice. You can buy this rice in any grocery store on Green Lanes.
TAKE AWAY
Our preferred takeaway for two at £8 we bought on a weekly basis for a quick and hearty dinner consisted of a large stew (big box), small rice (small box), salad (mixed salad in a small box) and naan bread. All this for a couple and we ate well I have to say.
Other takaways we had was a large shish kebab (two skewers) with rice, salad and naan bread again at £8.

Advantages: Great atmosphere Disadvantages: None really
apparently consists of traditional Anatolian cuisine. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but the food is simple, but well-cooked. As starters, we have tried the home-made hummus, chorizo sausage fried in a tomato sauce and a type of cheese - I would guess it was goat's cheese, although I am not completely sure. All were tasty and enjoyable - particularly the chorizo sausage, which was excellent with bread to soak up the tomato sauce. The portion of cheese was rather small, but the hummus and chorizo sausage were plentiful.
It is a Turkishrestaurant and as such, kebabs are the order of the day. The first time we went, we tried the shish kebab, served with rice and salad, which was beautifully cooked. The meat was just right - not overdone and not at all chewy. The boiled rice and salad were perhaps a little boring, but then they were just ...
