My first instinct of this restaurant when I happened to pop by on a random occasion was that it was a steakhouse or some sort as the name didn't occur to me it'll be Turkish. Lol. I've never tried and tasted Turkish cuisine before, so I was intrigued as to what new flavours I will encounter from this Mediterranean palette.
The interior of the restaurant was pretty and modern. With an open kitchen in sight as soon as you walk in and a transparent counter of rows and rows of a variety of skewered kebab meats.Borek (£5.00)- spinach and feta cheese wrapped in Filo pastry. If you love cheese then you'll love these little spring rolls! Tasted nice and light and wasn't too overpowering with the feta.
Soup of the day (£4.80) - lentil soupHeart warming and nicely flavoured, with a portion of a soft sesame topped bread.
Mixed fish platter (£14.50) - a combination of tuna, salmon, tiger prawns, scallops, swordfish & potatoes / side salad. As much as I love seafood, This dish didn't really wow me. For me, there wasn't enough seasoning on the individual pieces of fish, however I did really like the scallops on this skewer. For the price of this dish, I would've thought you get more.
Mixed grill (£15.25) - selection of marinated lamb, chicken shush, adana, lamb cutlet, seftali & rice. For the ultimate meat lover! On the other hand, this dish was packed with flavours & it's great that it has a selection of different meats it just makes the dish more interesting! Loved this one.
Baklava (£4.90) - layers of Filo pastry infused with nuts & syrup served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This was my faveeeeee part of dinner! Never tried this before and I loved it. If you have a sweet tooth then this will defo be one to try. You don't wanna share this! ;p
I'm glad we happened to drop by a Turkish restaurant as I've been looking forward to trying this cuisine for a while! Despite it being slightly pricey for some dishes, I would visit Cambaz again as there is loads I still want to try on the menu & it being one of a few Turkish restaurants in Birmingham it will remain a recommended restaurant. Thanks for reading!
