However, the sucuk was a letdown. It came off quite dry and was cut too small, which didn’t do the richness of the sausage any favors. I think larger, juicier slices would have given a much better mouthfeel and preserved the flavor.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, which definitely elevated the experience.
On the flip side, the interior design left me a little unsettled. The broken-glass style artwork was distracting and created an odd, almost uncomfortable atmosphere — not exactly what you want when you’re trying to enjoy a meal. A warmer, more cohesive decor style could make a huge difference.
