    Eğer Türk iseniz ve Vancouver, Kanada'yı ziyaret ediyorsanız ve Türk yemekleri canınız çekiyorsa İstanbul DÖNER'e gidin. Gerçekten çok lezzetli!

    Rice Pudding
    Dana S.

    Stopped here with a friend for a quick dinner. I was excited to try their cigkofte because not a lot of places here make it. We shared an order of the cigkofte, a spicy tomato dip, and a rice pudding. It was a good amount of food for a light meal for 2, and it was all delicious. The tomato dip came with their house-made bread, which came out fresh and with a great texture. Definitely the best bread I've ever gotten at a donair shop. We thought the dip wasn't really "spicy", but it was also very fresh with a bright flavour. The cigkofte were also packed with flavour. I found the texture and the shape of each kofte very pleasant. The platter came with a lemon wedge, and we squeezed all of the juice out of that lemon, which I would NOT recommend - it was too much, they're already drizzled with a tangy sauce - just give it a little drizzle of lemon juice and you'll be good. Finally, the rice pudding was also a winner. I liked the crunch of the nuts and the "crust" on top. The presentation was very nice for everything. Unlike a lot of counter-service donair shops, they have real plates and cutlery for dining in. The guy who took my order was nice. Their prices are a little high than typical donair but the food met a higher standard - it was more like food you'd get at a proper restaurant than fast food.

    I haven't gotten past the menu whereby I believe pricing to be aggressive and staff appeared indifferent. Sorry.

    How I heard of this place: On a visit to Bellingham a couple of years ago, my sister and mother…read moretold us about this new Turkish cafe downtown with sweet reminiscences of our visits to Turkey. We simply had to give it a try. And continue coming back. Type of cuisine: Turkish fare - from simit and borek, to cardamom or pistachio infused Turkish coffee, apricot and apple teas, baklava and lokum. We have always loved the foods, mostly imported directly from Turkey. Ambiance: Sweet and cozy, the space is full of beautiful Turkish art/craft - from lighting to seating, from merchandise to the tasty treats served, we love our bay window benches and small, tiled tables that barely hold everything we order. The brother-owners are always wreathed in smiles and humble, grateful service. The music is soft, but always a surprise - sometimes Turkish, sometimes rock, sometimes jazzy, always fun and unobtrusive. We also love the huge barrel "tables" used as outdoor seating under a covered "patio". What I ordered: I was sad to hear that they no longer make/serve their refreshing and lovely apricot tea, so I chose a sweet cardamom coffee. My sister each chose a turkish coffee and pistachio coffee. A hot chocolate for my husband and two apple teas for the children. We ordered one of each selection of baklava available - pistachio, walnut, chocolate pistachio, halva and another walnut treat. Not to mention peach and blackberry lokum. We also ordered a potato & cheese sandwich; they ran out of the bread so substituted potato borek topped with cheese for our savory snack. What I loved: Always the service; quiet, humble, spot on. The coffee is truly magnificent and fully takes you back to Turkey. The baklava is sweet and soaked in honey, just like the cafes in Istanbul, and the beautiful lighting mesmerizes each of us every time. Why I loved it: It's always a little escape entering the doors of Ashuri, and like a mini vacation in a home away from home. Cost: Average

But I wouldn't get it again next time Urfa kebab - this was my favourite. The beef is super flavourful and soft. I love both rices in all of the dishes. The bread was also strangely addicting. Would DEFINITELY recommend this dish Lamb sis kebab - the lamb wasn't super lamby which is good for people who are scared of the lamb flavoyr. It was a bit chewy and dry. Wouldn't get it again Fish salmon kebab - too dry but I liked the smokiness to it Mix doner on rice - the meats were both really dry. Wouldn't get it again Service - food came fast and they checked on us multiple times Atmosphere - lots of people kept coming in and out but it wasn't loud at all. They started live music at around 7pm. Overall I felt like the food was okay. It's great for big groups as they have huge tables. The price was also a very cost efficient

    We went to Saray Turkish Cuisine for Valentine's dinner and overall had a really great experience!…read more Appetizer: Cigar Börek - Crispy phyllo rolls stuffed with cheese and parsley, served with garlic sauce. Absolutely dynamite!!! Crispy, cheesy, and addictive. My dish: Alinazik Kebab - Grilled lamb over sauced grilled eggplant and yogurt, served with salad and bread. The lamb was insanely flavourful and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the mashed eggplant though (which surprised me because I usually love eggplant). It was okay, just not my thing this time. My husband's dish: Ground Beef Pide - Savoury flatbread topped with seasoned ground beef, fresh herbs, and sesame seeds. This was excellent -- super tasty and satisfying. My son's drink: Ayran - A traditional salty yogurt drink with mint. Not a hit with him Too salty and sour for his taste, but we appreciated the experience of trying something new. The servers kindly brought him a Coke instead and didn't charge us, which was really nice. My son's dinner: Adana Kebab (spicy) - Skewered spicy ground beef with rice, bulgur, salad, and bread. Fantastic!!! The beef was fresh and flavourful, and the rice and bulgur were soooo good. Service & atmosphere: It was pretty packed for Valentine's Day, so service was a bit hit and miss and slower than usual -- but totally understandable. The atmosphere made up for it, especially with the live Turkish music. It genuinely felt like being on vacation for the night, and I loved that feeling. Overall: Definitely worth the wait. Great food, great vibes, and a fun dining experience for the whole family.

I shared the Qabuli Pulao (27.99) and we even had some leftover since it was very rich and hearty! The rice was buttery and despite not being a big raisin fan, the sweetness of the raisins complemented the dish very well. The lamb shank was tender and easily fell off the bone as pictured, and was in some sort of slightly heated tomato sauce. I'd want to try the Uzbeki Pulao next time. As for the pot of Turkish tea (3.99), it came in a nice set with sugar cubes, definitely a bit on the strong bitter side but very pretty and great for sharing. Same with the pistachio halwa (6.99), I found it to be quite bitter and am not sure if that's the norm or not.. didn't love it. But overall, I liked the ambiance and the service was good, the server answered all my questions! Bonus points for the jazz playlist they had playing during my visit.
