Patlican Musakka $24++
Beyti $23.50++
Tea $3++
Headed to Derwish on a hot weekday noon. The restaurant’s interior looks pretty neat, and the food is decent too.
I’d definitely recommend the Beyti if you’re new to Turkish food and don’t mind the strong mutton taste. Do note that you have to order a drink each if you’re using the Burpple 1-for-1 discount. I recommend getting the apple tea.
Borek is like happiness on a plate. Its cheese with something like popiah skin. Ohhh so damn good.
They said this goes well w the kunefe, so it's on the house. So nice of them, and ofc they're right haha one bite of kunefe, one sip of tea and you're in heaven
Cream pudding. Top is not crispy but the burnt part was flavourful. I absolutely loved this for the variety of textures(chewy rice, pistachios etc). Must try, their desserts are another tier
One of the best I've tasted. Just a tad of mozzarella, contributing to the slightly chewy texture and stretchy texture. Crisp vermicelli, but not greasy at all. Combine that with a butter sauce and you're set. Good for 2 to 4 to share, must try!
Ckn was not v noteworthy, and hummus was intense. However the whole dish was overwhelmed by a super strong olive oil taste, which is very different from your Italian olive oil. Two of us hated it while one of us loved it, I guess you really have to be a fan of middle Eastern food to enjoy this dish. Small but filling
