A'LA TURKA

BEST FOR An exotic night out. FOOD It’s all about a Middle-Eastern experience – not only the food, but also the décor, atmosphere and the setting. On the food front, they have a few three-course menus as well as an à la carte menu. The Emperor's Menu features a variety of cold starters, like tzatziki, tabouleh and hummus. Mains include some very spicy kofte, tasty lamb and chicken kebabs, borek (spinach and feta wrapped in phyllo pastry) and dolmades. DRINKS A vast wine list. For non-alcoholic drinks, order rose water or Turkish apple chai. SERVICE Friendly, welcoming and helpful. AMBIENCE Set in the beautiful Yadah Castle, A'la Turka boasts lush furnishings, beautiful lanterns and exotic day beds. Go in the day if you want to explore the castle and spa. At night it entices with belly dancers (for which a fee is added to your bill), Turkish music, twinkling lights and a vibrant atmosphere. (GF)
