Ayasofya Turkish Restaurant

Ayasofya Restaurant promises 100 percent authentic Turkish cuisine prepared by genuine Turkish chefs from Turkey. Traditional dishes include the Ayasofya Veggie Kebab ($24.90), the classic baked bread filled with eggplant, walnut, tomatoes and cheese; and the Lahmacun ($21.50), a round piece of dough topped with minced meat and vegetables. Also order up the Sultan Kebab ($26.90), a mildly spiced lamb served with baked cheese and mashed potato; and the Hunkar Begendi ($27.90) for lamb stew served over babaganoush. For an Anatolian speciality, the flaming Pottery Kebab ($64.90/2 pax) is made with lamb and vegetables, baked inside a clay pot and cracked open tableside. A definite must-try! Priyanka Elhence
