The lahmacun, Turkish flat bread topped with ground lamb and chopped vegetables, at Ali Baba comes out of the oven nice and crispy. A fresh squeeze of lemon juice over it then topped with fresh parsley and onion with paprika, makes it even more enticing. Each bite hits home and brings pure satisfaction, also bringing back memories of Turkey to me.

Do Sirak’s Korean food is not entirely authentic but it’s clean, pleasant and uses fresh ingredients. The bulgogibap, which is a mix of marinated beef, onions, carrots and green peppers with sesame seeds and sesame oil over rice is very tasty and satisfying. Plus it’s very inexpensive and the restaurant has a nice, warm atmosphere.
