Live music, Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm, is courtesy of soulful performer Armagan Alakus, who effortlessly adds to the relaxing ambience. To start, choose from a variety of classic and unusual mezes, from the simple but delicious kisir – with mixed peppers, parsley, couscous and nuts – to the exquisite grilled swordfish accompanied by salad drizzled with the chef’s secret dressing. To follow, choose from traditional Turkish favourites and dishes specific to Istanbul, along with Alla Turca’s own signature dishes. Barbecued finest Scottish beef shish is the chef’s special – comprising barbecued Aberdeen Angus beef on skewers served with creamy chestnut casserole and a mosaic of new potatoes. Vegetarian options, including delectable dishes like pine-nut-and-feta-stuffed aubergine, will even have meat-eaters finding themselves swayed. And additional offerings of authentic geleneksel, tasting and pretheatre menus, will leave you wanting to come back for more and more of Alla Turca’s wonderfully unique cuisine.
