Caravanserai

I had driven past this somewhat curious Turkish Restaurant a while back in West End, always intending to check it out in detail at a later date. At the spur of the moment Annie and I decided to go there for dinner on a Wednesday night.

The decor is very bohemian and very West-End-like. Reddish walls, cosy corners, ambient lighting and are some of it's enticing features. We had never heard of many items on the menu and were keen to try something new! If you are after Pides and the like look elsewhere!

I had something called a Prawn Zhourg ($22) , which was a pastry which acted like a bowl that contained cous cous, Prawns, Mussels and a spicy sauce. I must say that I usually hate cous couse but this was absolutely delicious! Annie had Ispanak Borek($21) - 2 filo pastry puffs, one with spinach and feta and one with Ricotta and roast capsicum pesto, fresh salad and a Yoghurt sauce. The service was good :)

To top it off we decided to have some dessert, some Baclava ($2.50) and some Hurma ($2.50). These were spot on and extremely cheap as you can see. We also had 2 hot chocolates and they were made with beautiful thick chocolate ($3.50). Yumm!
