Taksim Turkish Restaurant  

 

A Turkish delight indeed! I have been ordering food from this mid-town Manhattan restaurant for a few months now, and have always been impressed at how quick of a delivery they make and how fresh and delicious the food is. I decided to go visit it and found it to be a neat and casual place to spend a nice afternoon with friends or family.
The place is relatively small, but well kept with tastefully done décor. The service is friendly and quite pleasant. The manager is very professional and understanding of customer needs.
Some of my favorite appetizers include Borek and Cacek. Borek is an appetizer made of phyllo dough stuffed with feta cheese. Cacek is a delicious yogurt sauce made with tiny diced cucumbers and mint, and a must-have for me with the meats. Their bread is also excellent to have with their succulent lamb and chicken kebabs. Lately, however, I have noticed that the rice doesn't taste the same anymore. Earlier, I felt the rice was cooked in lamb broth to give it that certain special taste, but I could be wrong. I just want it back!
To end any lovely meal at this restaurant, one must try the mouth watering Baklava.
