lunch in İstanbul, Turkey

[nibot]

A highlight of my trip to Turkey was the $1 ferry ride across the Bosphorous (from Europe to Asia!) and finding this great restaurant, Çiya Sofrası at Güneşlibahçe Sk. 43 in Kadıköy. Pictured here: meat balls with sour cherry, dolmas in yogurt, and a chick pea soup.

Was this a recent trip? This photo is making me miss everything with sour cherries.

Yup, in July, after gstef's wedding in Greece. I have been remiss in LJ posting!

I want to hear more about it! I really liked Turkey when I went there for my honeymoon (balayı). :)

So how often before this trip or during it did you sing They Might Be Giants' "Istanbul?"

Oh Chick Peas. Oh Dolmas.
