Testi Kebab

 

In the evening of our third day in Istanbul we met some really nice guys  - Yusuf & Hakan & their team - running a great restaurant:
café & restaurant aloran at Cankurtaran, Istanbul.

If you're tired of being kidnapped when studying the menu of a restaurant and when you just want a friendly talk with local people, you absolutely must visit this place!

 One of the specialities of aloran restaurant is testi kebab, a variation of the traditional kebab, in which the meat and veggies are cooked over the fire in a clay pot, after which the pot is cracked open and served.

The guys from aloran celebrate each opening ceremony of a testi kebab clay pot like an event. 

And the event photographer of the evening tried to capature the key scenes of the ceremony to the point.

:-))

Afiyet olsun! - Enjoy your meal!
