Tas

Tas is a Turkish restaurant that seems to always be busy. The environment and the setting were quite charming. The waiters are well uniformed with satisfying service. I had a taste of all the appetizers and the hummus turned out to be the best and rich to a perfect point. It was mixed with lemon juice and garlic. Zeytin Yagli Patlican consists of aubergine, tomatoes, garlic, and chickpeas. This appetizer was very unusual for my likings, but I am sure others might like it. Tubule is an appetizer that looks like a Mexican salsa salad but better! It consists of parsley, lemon juice, onions, and tomatoes. Quite refreshing! Manca is with spinach and yoghurt. The taste was minty. It did not taste like spinach at all. Zepzeli Kopte (Falafel)is a ground chickpea dish that was also quite interesting. The peas tasted fresh but again not my type of taste. My main course was the Mousakka. It consists layers of minced lamb, aubergine, potatoes, and cheese. The savor sauce was quite satisfying but the potatoes were room temperature. That threw me off guard. The aubergine goes well with the lamb and the layer of cheese was too much. I had rounds of wine throughout the dinner also. The white wine was a bit bitter, but better than most wine I have tried. Overall, I give Tas a 7 out of a 10.
