Souvlaki


So while we've been in Auckland this week we made a point of driving out to the city. While we were there we walked around trying to find somewhere to eat lunch along Karangahape Road which is well known for it's ethnic restaurants and cafes.



In the end we settled on a Turkish Cafe. I'm one of those people who loves trying new food. When I was growing up my father knew people who owned restaurants and once in a while we ate out at different places. I was lucky to have the opportunity as a child to try Chinese, Turkish, Japanese among others. 


I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki with hummus and flatbread on the side. It wasn't actually that spicy or hot to eat, Just a bit of this and a bit of that. It left me so full that I didn't want dinner last night.




I literally haven't been up this end of town since I was in my 20s before I got married so it was cool to see all the changes that had been going on.

I like Turkish food as it is not spicy. You must be enjoying seeing familiar and new places in the city.

That looks delicious. People who are narrow or picky on their food sure miss a lot.
