Turkish Bar & Grill, Altamonte Springs - Closed
I grabbed something for dinner at this new (1 week) Turkish spot on Douglas Ave (1st street that runs parallel with I-4) off 436. I tried the calf liver app because it was only $7 and I hadn't tried a Turkish version of that, ever. It was good and I'm not a huge liver fan. Nineteen pieces! Tender. Not too gamey. No stringy things. Slight Middle Eastern flavoring. It also came with some under done (probably because I was a to go order) fries, sliced tomato, and pickled onions. They also have the dips, lahmacun and pide (flatbreads), sigara boregi (feta taquitos), soup, stuffed peppers, gyro, kebab, breads, and desserts. The wine selection is ok and they have two Turkish wines. The exterior is exactly the same as the old Thai place that was here before. They should change that. The parking is also cramped. The inside has been cleaned up. It seats around eighty. They have posters of Istanbul landmarks on the wall and they have trimmed the room in green (A nationalistic color?). The tables and chairs are stained wood and looked new. The cooking seems Istanbul-ic in influence. Most main dishes are over $10. Smaller at $6. Turkish options aren't as rare as they used to be. That said, this place competes with them. Try and distinguish between regions now that that is a possibility.
