Naan Oven & Breakfast

Last Friday we were walking around on the Asian side of Istanbul for the day. It kept raining off on on. At one point around lunchtime it started raining heavily, so we ducked into a nearby café for lunch and to hide from the pouring rain. We came here completely by accident, but it was a great accident. The place was fantastic. It was so adorable inside and had a lovely outdoor garden seating area that we could see out the window. It was small but cozy inside.
The food was outstanding. I ordered a pineapple lemonade, but just before my lemonade arrived someone at our table received their hot chocolate. The hot chocolate comes out in two cups, one with liquid chocolate at the bottom and the other with hot steamed milk. You pour the milk into the chocolate and stir it. It looked so good that I had to order it in addition to my lemonade. This was wonderful hot chocolate, and very neat! The pineapple lemonade had mint in it and was delicious and refreshing. This was a lovely juice!
For my meal I had the vegan sandwich, which was hummus, roasted vegetables, and caramelized onions on a toasted fresh baguette. It came with a small salad. The sandwich was delicious. This meal was one of the highlights of our food week in Istanbul! The service was also good, everyone was friendly and helpful and they spoke English! It was slow, but we were in no hurry to go back out into the rain.

Waitters are not much service oriented. And they are happy to tell you about it. If you want to have a pleasant breakfast pick somewhere else.
