The hungry( needed a break from the airport and airline grub) and weary passenger and his crew disembarked in Brisbane in NE Australia.
They drove of up north on the M1 just 25 minutes to an area appropriately called Mango Hill and experienced the most delicious and ample Turkish food and fantastic n loving service outside of Istanbul; welcome to Mangal ( means BBQ in Turkish and fun & enjoyment in other Asian languages) Turkish cuisine.
Get ready for the best:
Lamb( or they can prepare it with any meat or veggie) Pide - this is a traditional flatb boat shaped with seasoned gorgeous meat, onions, tomatoes, and just melt in your mouth goodness. Now some lemon drizzle and feta on top and we are all dancing and singing along.
Adana Kabab - long skewer - hand minced and then grilled. Amazing.
Mouth watering gyros( or yiros) that are stuffed so big that even a big mouth like Yours Truly had to do this by hand.
Gozleme or Turkish quesadillas full of spinach and feta and different meats also potatoes.
LENTIL SOUP - in caps for WOW!
Chips or French fries.Seasoned so well and from fryer to table in less than five seconds.
In house made baklava - the kids loved the Nutella; everyone also raved about the pitachio.
Service and so much love.
This is a small restaurant by area but the owners and the team here have the biggest hearts.
Parking can be a bit tight depending on when you get there. But absolutely worth the 2- 3 minutes looking for that spot. Then carry that heavy box of leftovers( yes mammoth portions for the price) post best meal evah!
