Kick things off with a whole host of starters for the table to share. We love the sauteed scallop tava seared and blended with a mixture of spring onions, garlic and parsley; baby calamari with herbs and vegetables and the red lentil koftas with bulgar wheat. For main courses at Taksim Square Turkish Restaurant, you must first decide if you feel like eating meat or going veggie – because both proved excellent options. If you’re dining out as a pair, we cannot recommend the Taksim Grill for two people complete with a mixture of delicious chargrilled tender cutlets, chicken, lamb and mushroom koftas enough – it’s delicious! Just make sure you leave some room for some traditional Turkish desserts!
