I was meeting my friend Shar for dinner. As we were walking from our parked cars in front of the fire station, a loud cheer erupted. We immediately realized the IU vs. UK game must still be going on, and close enough to cheer? Wait a minute... They're #1 and we're not ranked. How could that be? We continued walking and heard some more screams from another location. Wow, it must be quite the game!
At the last minute, we detoured to eat at Anatolia. Shar said they were really good. My friend Sarah doesn't like them at all. It's time to form my own opinion... Once we went in, we were asked if we wanted a table or to sit in the Cushion Room. We opted for the Cushion Room, quickly realizing they should give a warning to those over the age of 30 that we'd be sitting on the floor and may never get up again. LOL.
We were immediately served some hot tea, which was wonderful on such a cold night. We both opted for the red lentil soup and stuffed chicken. The soup was quite tasty and served with a nice bread.
The chicken breast was huge -- stuffed with spinach and feta cheese and topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. It was wonderful. There was a small salad and a bit of rice, too. They were also really good. At the conclusion of the meal, we were asked if we wanted some baklava. Absolutely! It was nearly impossible to cut, so I ended up eating mine with my fingers! The only negative at Anatolia was getting up from the cushions with our 40-something year old bodies and full bellies :-D
When we exited, we discovered Kirkwood was blocked off. People were everywhere in red, hooting and hollering. Indiana had won!!!
I would suggest to try the other Turkish place which called Turkuaz, it is not on your list. it is on 3rd St behind the fire station.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my list isn't completely accurate. Thanks for the comment; I'll add Turkuaz and try to go soon.
