Lale Istanbul street food

«Lale Istanbul street food» on Roz Street in Sochi brings together Turkish cuisine and a street-food format under one roof. The interior, with patterns in the spirit of the Ottoman Empire, sets the mood, while the aroma of sand-brewed coffee — the very drink included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list — fills the room. Breakfast is served all day, and the signature Turkish breakfast here is especially generous: fresh vegetables, beef sausage, ham, two kinds of cheese, black olives, green olives, dried fruit, and scrambled eggs all on one table. There's no toast bread on the menu — its place is taken by simit bagels and signature flatbreads, and tea is served with every breakfast. The street-food menu is built around Turkish salads, köfte meatballs, and signature dishes by chef Karimi. Pide is made in four variations: with minced meat, with cheese, with egg, and the signature Lale with all the fillings at once. The soup of the day alternates between vegetable and lentil. For dessert there's sütlaç, milk-and-cream custard, and baklava. The average check at the establishment is 1,200 rubles.
