TURKISH HOUSE RESTAURANT

Location: Al Khuwair (close to Mars Supermarket / Rawasco)

This restaurant happens to be one of our favorites! Love their grilled dishes, and not to mention, their big freshly baked bread with sesame seeds, which you can dip in hummus. If you happen to manage finishing 1 big piece, I think you'll be somehow feeling full already, so I advice you not to eat loads of it so you have more room for their delicious main dishes.
You can also have parties there since they have occupied another side of the building. I think they have 3 areas in total.. 1 is the Main one, where you select the fish you want to be cooked which has an upstairs seating, then 1 beside it, and 1 at the back. Last time our friend had their son's dedication reception there. Although I was not able to be there at the reception, but as I heard from my parents who attended, it was worth it because food came flooding - grilled fish, calamari, broasted chicken, bread, and whatever menu that the couple selected. They only had to bring their own sweets anyway because we Filipinos still prefer our own variety of sweets and the place allowed them to bring their own.

What me and my mom loves about this restaurant is the fact that after having eaten, paid and all, we will still request to have 2 of their large freshly baked breads to take home for free. ;)

Anyway, due to its hall which has a pretty good seating capacity of about 120 persons, we also decided to have our baby's Dedication/Christening reception there.. and as I said earlier, food came flooding to the point that in each table, no group was able to finish theirs. They will arrange food for every 4 persons or for each table.. 1 grilled fish, 1 calamari, 1 broasted chicken, 1 green salad, 1 appetizer, 1 rice, water, soda, bread. People even got to take home their leftovers. Manager was also easy to deal with. The only drawback for me is that they wouldn't serve any food if not all confirmed number of guests have arrived which is pretty disappointing for me.. Some of my guests have arrived early, and probably hungry already so I wanted to let them serve for at least 1-3 tables, but they didn't as they said they need to see all seats are taken.

See below for the sample of food per table during my baby's dedication. Sorry for the picture being blurred though.
