Discovering Ephesus Turkish Kitchen: A Culinary Adventure in Alpharetta
If you’re seeking a delightful dive into Mediterranean, Persian, or Middle Eastern cuisine, @ephesusturkishkitchen on Windward Parkway is the place to explore. This location, previously home to World Famous Billy Allen's Brass Tap franchise and Velvet Elvis, now offers a unique taste of Turkish fare right in Alpharetta.

A Vegetarian's Delight
As a carnivore who loves vegetarian dishes from this region, I found the Bergama beet salad to be a standout. With its combination of cabbage, pickles, garlic, and olive oil, this salad offers a satisfying blend of flavors without being overly pickly. Have you ever tried beet salad before? What are your thoughts on its unique taste?

Bosnian Dumplings: A Cultural Experience
The Bosnian dumplings, featuring ground beef in a yogurt and tomato butter sauce, present a delightful experience. Notably, the dough is thicker than those found in other cuisines. And here's a tip: these dumplings are traditionally served warm rather than hot in the yogurt.

Lamb Saute: Simple Yet Satisfying
For those who appreciate classic flavors, the lamb sauté at Ephesus is a solid choice. It may be basic, but it delivers on taste and quality. For fellow food enthusiasts, how do you feel about the simplicity of traditional dishes?

A New Era for Turkish Cuisine in Atlanta
Reflecting on the past, there was a time when Turkish restaurants were a rarity in the metro area, limited to just two spots in Decatur and Marietta Square. Now, we’re fortunate to have several options nearby in AlphaRozCreek. This evolution reminds me of when John Kessler dubbed us “Bloomin’ Onion Acres,” a label we’ve certainly outgrown.

🤤🤤THE BEST MEAL IVE HAD IN A WHILE! [INVITE]

@suumkitchen recently invited me to their restaurant to try some of their lovey food! It was so good im already thinking about what I'm going to have next!!

The owner is cordon bleu trained and the menu show it!

We shared a platter to start which came with lots of lovely different things to try including spring rolls, pork mango salad and chilli king prawns.

For mains we tried the curry (i need that sauce bottled up so I can purchase!!), the seabass (flakeiest fish I think ive ever had) and the shaking beef!

For dessert we tried Vietnamese style yogurt with black rice (which wasn't our thing tbh) and pandan leaf pudding...which was glorious!!

If you're looking for somewhere special to go, this place is it. The food is glorious, the hospitality is incredible. It's been a week and im still thinking about it!!

Review of Yava Kitchen and Brewhouse

First Impressions
Our debut visit to @yavaatl in Cumming, near Lake Lanier, was a mixed experience. Although we had a rocky start due to being seated at a less-than-ideal location—a cramped two-top by the restroom and a pole—the rest of the evening was promising.

Beverage Selection
We started off with an American IPA, which was better than average. I was a bit surprised that, given the substantial size of the restaurant and brewery, they only had four beers on offer. However, the quality of the IPA made up for the limited selection, hinting at a potential for future growth in their beer offerings.

Appetizers
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the chicken wings. They were overnight brined, blanched, and flash fried to crispy perfection. I opted for the Alabama barbecue sauce, which was both flavorful and satisfying. While Buffalo is known for its Buffalo sauce and Atlanta for its lemon pepper wings, this Alabama barbecue stood out as one of the best non-traditional flavors I've tried. They also offer a pecan habanero Buffalo style for those looking to experiment.

Main Courses

Club Sandwich
My adult son and I have been on a quest to find a new favorite club sandwich since Peach & the Pork Chop closed its doors. Yava Kitchen's version might just take the top spot, potentially even surpassing Brookwood Café. The sandwich features really good turkey and crispy applewood smoked bacon, with a creative twist—Granny Smith apples instead of traditional tomatoes. While I wouldn't mind a bit more aioli, it was a commendable sandwich overall.

Hearth Grilled Airline Chicken
Both Mrs. Grub and I liked her hearth grilled airline chicken breast served with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Conclusion
Overall, Yava Kitchen and Brewhouse provided a pleasant dining experience, despite the initial seating turnoff. The quality of the food and the potential in their beer offerings make it a spot worth revisiting. Less

Die Eröffnung des @chefswarehousehamburg wurde von vielen, die die gleichnamigen Konzepte von Liam Tomlin aus Südafrika kennen, mit derselben Spannung erwartet, wie die Verfilmung des Lieblingsromans. Ich war auch skeptisch. Kann das Ganze funktionieren? Speicherstadt statt Chapman‘s Peak? Backstein statt Beau Constantia?

Ich bin der Meinung, dass es funktioniert. Ein wunderschönes kosmopolitisches Restaurant bereichert nun Hamburg, samt offener Küche, Bar auf einer Galerie, afrikanischer Kunst und einem Warehouse mit lauter schönen Dingen.
Kulinarisches Sharing, Gerichte, die ich mir noch mutiger und intensiver wünsche. Dafür eine Weinkarte mit all meinen Lieblingswinzern aus SA, sehr fairen Preisen und neben einer zauberhaften Gastgeberin @lina_koch_hh mit einem sehr engagierten Team.
Wir hatten einen grossartigen Abend und kommen natürlich wieder.🤍

I’m sure I’ve eaten at countless Pakistani-owned restaurants, but I’d never tried a karahi before I moved to New York. So it’s really exciting to be in a community where Pakistani delicacies are celebrated and served in their full splendor.

If you want to learn more about Pakistani cuisine, read my article about the new @frontierkarahihouse and get some karahi for yourself. As you can see, this is the G.O.A.T.
