Turkish Delight at Bosphorus

There's this fine Turkish restaurant located on the top floor of the Pavilion mall in KL that serves some of the most mouth-watering dishes in town....for a price. The place is called Bosphorus, which, according to Wikipedia, is another name for the Istanbul Strait that forms part of the boundary between Asia and Europe. And here I thought it's a name of some chemicals or minerals only found in Turkey...

You can find the restaurant at:

The restaurant is all granite wall and plush furnitures, true to Turkish architectural styles...and there's both indoor and outdoor sections to choose from. Although I have to say, if you want to dine in a grandiose manner, or looking to impress your guests, choose indoor seating. It looks like a harem, very comfy and posh...

For starter, we are served this dish that, for the life of me, couldn't remember the name. Its in Turkish. But do believe me when I say it is absolutely delicious!!! The sauce, especially, has a sour and spicy twang to it. When you eat it with the bread, it's like heaven for the mouths....

I ordered a drink called the Istanbul Punch (RM 16.90), which is a delightful concoction of fruit juices. It has the texture of a good smoothie, but much better taste....mmm...I love it!

My fellow blogger, Ash, as usual, had her tea..the so-called Turkish Tea (RM 7.90). According to her, it's not that different from Teh Boh (ooppss)....

For main course, we ordered the Karisik Izgara platter (RM 139.00), which is a very expensive serving of different types of grilled meat. This is enough for two persons. If you are eating for one, go for the solo version that comes at RM 59.90.
I will have to say that the dish is absolutely delicious! Juicy, tender beef, lamb and chicken served with generous servings of rice and fries.. It is a wonderful introduction to fine Turkish cuisine for me.

As you can see from the prices, dishes this good do not come cheap. So, please prepare to spend a bomb when dining here. Would I come again? Sure, if someone is buying :)...
