Turkish Lunch: Vegetarians Look Away Now!

   23 Comments on Turkish Lunch: Vegetarians Look Away Now!

Looking for somewhere for lunch, a Turkish lunch?

Well if you’re in London you might stumble across one of the popular Gökyüzü Turkish restaurants.

Meat eaters, if you haven’t tried this place, you might want to give it a go because as you will see – they absolutely pile on the meat, that lovely chargrilled type of meat.

The shared platters are like a meat mountain (in fact I think that’s what they should call it – The Meat Mountain), along with a valley of bread (a basket with a generous amount of flat bread is served as standard) and you’ll be hard pressed not to request containers to take 90% of your food home with you once you’re full.

It’s one of those situations where you feel full before you even start to eat. 

Of course there are also things on the menu that don’t include mountains of meat, but on the whole, meat dishes are they main options. 

They also do take aways to some areas.

Happy lunching!! 😋

Even if it’s not a Turkish lunch.

  3. ropheka – Canada – As Christ is our King, so too are we His free will servants Joseph a son of Jehovah I have been a faithful servant of our Lord for the past forty years. He has led me to move from the farm to the city. It was there I learned natural medicine as well as to serve by doing volunteer work in a hospital. This was preparing me for the next stage of growth and service unto Him. The next phase was to live in a tent in the western provinces of Canada planting trees. It has here in His marvelous creation of nature that He taught me so much of Himself while serving others in camp as a first aid attendant. If anybody got sick or injured they always came to me. As well, I learned to be a big brother and care about their mental health and for most, it was the first time they were ever loved. This caring for others prepared me for the next step which was to be a teacher all over China. Here not only did my example guide many to our Heavenly King but also taught me how to deal with narcissist. This prepared me to come home to take care of a narcissistic mother while dealing with narcissist family members. It was in China that the Lord also guided me to become a Christian writer which has been faithfully done for the past ten years. I know not what will happen tomorrow but I know who holds tomorrow in His hands and it is Him I place my total confidence and trust in. Joseph a son of Jehovah

  7. Time Traveler of Life – Where my Motor Home is! – Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.

    I love meat, but it hasn’t loved me for a long time. Every once in a while I really want a big juicy steak medium rare with butter and salt and pepper. I eat chicken, turkey, and all seafood and get along fine. I drooled a little over those pictures.

  8. 100 Country Trek – Hello. Nice to meet you. My journey to cover as much of the world as possible began in Costa Rica in 2003. This is a story in itself, but for now I'll tell the short version . On a hike around Manuel Antonio I started chatting with a fellow hiker from Belgium. He told me he had a trip planned to visit Borneo within a few weeks of his return home. He then went on to say he had been to at least fifty different countries. That was when the travel bug bit me. I haven't stopped going since and the journey has been so incredible . It is here that I will share some of the incredible travel experiences .

  11. Delicious! We lived in Turkey for two years – still miss their delicious food (and can instantly tell when it’s not authentic, or has been diluted in favour of non-middle-Eastern palettes) when we order Turkish. We have a very good Turkish restaurant near where we live but due to our lockdown can’t get there. 🙁

  13. Oooh, that IS meaty! We really like Sofra in London, there’s one in St Christopher’s Place although sadly not now just off Covent Garden, which used to be our local. We have some good meze places in Birmingham, although more Lebanese than Turkish, with the same kind of stuff.
