Kuzu Incik Hunkar Begendi (425k) ⭐️8.5/10
Lamb shank with pureed aubergine and mozzarella cheese. Possibly the best lamb I’ve had in Jakarta, not gamey at all, well marinated, fall of the bone tender, juicy, and succulent. The aubergine reminded me of baba ganoush (one of my go to dips) plus some mozzarella cheese. Minus for being too salty though.

Pide (130k) ⭐️ 8/10
Feta cheese, mozarella, parsley in a boat shaped flat bread. Reminds me of pizza but better as the curled dough edge was crispier and there’s more filling to bread ratio vs traditional pizza. Feta provided nice salty-briny cheese profile while mozzarella gave milky creaminess, rounded off by fresh parsley.

Dana Lahmacun (130k) 7/10
Similar to Pide, Lahmacun is also flat bread with ground meat topping, but it has round shape and is typically much thinner vs pide. The beef itself was mixed with seasonings such as onions, tomatoes, paprika, and cumin. Wanted to pick other option vs lamb but beef was so-so.

Fatoush Salad (105k) ⭐️8/10
Very fresh and refreshing. Veggies were fresh, fried pita/khubs gave nice crunch, and generous amount of feta on top. Good side for the heavier mains we got.

Coban Tava (185k) 6/10
Lamb stew with tomato and garlic, served with pide ekmegi. Reminds me of soupier version of shakshouka (minus the egg), meant to be dipped using the bread. Also too salty.

Kunefe (110k) 7.5/10
Phyllo pastry filled with stringy cheese and soaked in syrup. This was served pipping hot, which helps to tone down the sweetness. I particularly enjoy the crispy outer crust in contrast to the shredded phyllo texture. Generous pistachio crumbles as well. Good dessert but still prefer Mardin’s.

Ayran (62k) 7/10
Turkish yoghurt drink. Taste similar to Indian lassi bit saltier from the sea salt. Works well as palate cleanser for all the lamb and spices.

Elma Cayi (66k) 6.5/10
Traditional Turkish apple tea with cinnamon. No refill provided. A bit too sweet.
