Located a bit off the beaten path, you’ll find this exotic dining room tucked away behind a Starbucks just before the entrance to Granville Island. Seek out this hidden spot and you’ll be rewarded with mouth-watering specialties such as lamb shoulder, grilled shish kebabs, lentil stew and baked eggplant. If you’re not sure where to start, order a sharing platter for the table and sample an array of South Asian flavours.
As you can probably already tell from this list, Turkish coffee is by no means confined to the geographical borders of Turkey. It has long been a popular way to consume coffee throughout the Middle East. The Afghan Horsemen serves authentic Afghani cuisine and has won the Georgia Straight’s award for Best Middle Eastern Restaurant in Vancouver too many times to count. Turkish coffee is among the many beverages you may order to accompany or conclude your internationally inspired dinner.
