Yummy Turkish food. We stuck with starters (Turkish pizza, cheese wrapped in Phyllo dough, tzatziki sauce with pita bread) and enjoyed the pomegranate margaritas. Of course we ended with desserts, you must check out their dessert case. We had the Dubai, chocolate and baklava cheesecake, both were excellent! overall, great food, and service!
