I went over the weekend to Saray. It is a fully halaal restaurant with and outdoor and indooor. The outdoors I covered and has heaters and blankets in winter. It has a smoking and non smoking section. I would also highly recommend that you make a reservation for good seating.
The menu has quite a few options. The platter are very worthwhile but I unfortunately could not try them as they kebabs were mixed lamb and beef. I don’t eat beef for religious reasons. When asked to swop it out even for something cheaper they refused and said no exchanges could be made, which was a bit disappointing.
In the end I ordered the cheese pida, which was a generous size and delicious. We also ordered the chicken and mushroom pida which was as equally delicious.
For mains we ordered the lamb chops which came with chips, rice and a roti type of bread. The lamb could have done with more basting and trimming so there was less fat but enjoyable. We also ordered the chicken thighs, this was really value for money as it come with a salad, bread, rice and chips. Basically it was almost a whole chicken and was so nice and moist.
The passion fruit mocktail was delicious. We also ordered the apple tea which I also enjoyed.
For dessert I was so eager to taste the Kunefe, it was one of the things I wasn’t able to taste when I was in Turkey so I was really excited. To my dismay I didn’t now enjoy it at all. I know it’s a cheese dessert but I thought dessert cheese would be used and it would not taste so savoury. I had to use the ice cream to mask the flavour. I’m guessing it’s an acquired taste. Plus the waitress said it was like baked cheesecake. It was absolutely not. If I had know I would have ordered something else.
