During my visit, I had the pleasure of savouring their lentil soup, mixed kebab, and baklava.

From the very first spoonful, it was evident that this lentil soup was crafted with an impeccable blend of spices, vegetables, and, of course, the star ingredient – lentils. The texture was a harmonious marriage between velvety smoothness and the delightful presence of tender lentil grains, creating a delightful play on the palate.

If you’re a fan of succulent meats and tantalizing flavours, Konak Restaurant’s Mixed Kebab platter is a must-try culinary adventure. This carefully curated assortment of lamb shish, chicken shish, lamb doner, Adana kebab, and rice promises to take your taste buds on a delectable journey through the heart of Turkish cuisine.

n

Starting with the Lamb Shish, the tender chunks of marinated lamb grilled to perfection provide a satisfying and smoky flavour. The meat is succulent, well-seasoned, and cooked just right, giving a delightful contrast to the juicy Chicken Shish that accompanies it. The chicken, while slightly less robust in flavour, is juicy and well-marinated, making it a great complement to the richer lamb.

n

The highlight of the platter, the Lamb Doner, is a treat for meat enthusiasts. The thin slices of seasoned lamb are stacked and slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie, resulting in layers of well-spiced, tender goodness. The slight char on the edges adds an irresistible depth of flavour, making it a definite standout.

n

For those seeking a bolder taste, the Adana kebab steps in with its spice kick. Ground lamb, seasoned with a mixture of aromatic spices, delivers a fiery flavour that’s not for the faint of heart. This kebab is an explosion of taste, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to offering a diverse range of flavours.

n

I ended up tasting with baklava, a delicate symphony of flaky layers, honeyed sweetness, and nutty richness. Culinary artistry that embodies Middle Eastern delight in every bite.

n

Each dish was a masterpiece in its own right, exuding the authentic flavours of Turkey with every bite. 

n
