Tastes of Anatolia

I should probably give myself one star for being so stupid, but I went to this food truck yesterday and decided to try the lentil balls. I got two orders because I was hungry.
At first I thought they were just weird, but what the hell do I know about Turkish cooking. They were cold and limp and soggy, like my brain. After I forced myself to eat both orders (remember I was hungry, and needed energy for work), it slowly dawned on me that they FORGOT TO COOK THEM. At least I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt that this wasn’t how they were supposed to be.
I’m sure lightly fried they would’ve been delicious. I’ll never know. As it stands, I’m just glad I didn’t get salmonella or anything.

This is a solid food truck although their menu is limited.
What they have: gozleme of different varieties, stuffed grape leaves and lentil balls.
What is gozleme? Gozleme is a ‘savory traditional Turkish flatbread, made of rolled dough that is lightly brushed with butter and eggs, filled with various toppings, sealed and cooked over a griddle.’ Basically, it’s a delicious Turkish panini.
I ordered the chicken. The chicken is lightly spiced and diced into very small, almost chicken flakes. It’s a messy dish as the chicken kept falling out of the wrap — but was also very delicious dipped into the provided yogurt sauce. If you don’t like chicken– there are other varieties including beef and a few veggie alternatives such as potato and cheese.
One gozleme is pretty filling and will run you back about $ 7. If you upgrade to a combo you get your choice of stuffed grape leaves or lentil balls with a small side salad for $ 3 more.
Staff are very friendly and the turn around time is quick. They accept cards and cash.
I’m not quite sure on their schedule — but it looks at least for lunch on Fridays they are parked at City Hall Plaza.
I’ll be back
