It's pretty difficult to find varied cuisine in the smaller regions of Turkey as they all seem to have a very similar menu. Inci was a name I saw creep up and it's clear the mention on Culture Trip has brought it regular UK business (or maybe it had that before anyway?). There was an older English male who seemed to be an owner of sorts. The reputed homestyle cooking made it a good choice for the first evening along the Turquiose Coast. After a 1.5hr drive in the dark from Dalaman airport, appetites were at a high and they were satiated.
Complimentary warm soft bread came with an excellent tomato and onion salsa loaded with strong raw garlic - it was fantastic.
- Stuffed vine leaves 14TL - simple flavoured rice dolma with a yoghurt dipping sauce;
- Chef's special lamb 39.5TL - quite tender lamb with a little redness to the meat stuffed with cheese and served on another strong garlic/onion/tomato sauce;
- Prawn casserole 27.5TL - on the menu as a starter but clearly a main. Bubbling cauldron of bouncy prawns incredibly well flavoured with cream, tomato and cheese sauce. Served with rice, mashed potato and fries for some added carbs.
We were full to the brim after this and happy to have been welcomed to Turkey this way.
