Iskender Kebab House Turkish Cuisine

Turkish restaurant

👍👍 We found ourselves in the neighbourhood around dinner time. I was a little hesitant about this place because the reviews were either 5 stars (most of them) or very low. But I’m happy we discovered this place. Pictured are 1.5 portions of Iskender and 1.5 Adana. Both were delicious. These are very la...

👍👍 I love fresh strong but not bitter coffee. It’s harder to find that one would think. But I found it at Opulence Cafe. I make certain that I have the espresso blend at both my house and cottage. Worth ordering if cannot get there and I always travel with it. JP and his staff are very knowledgeable an...
