We went to Istanbul Kebab with a hankering for some wraps. We ordered a falafel wrap, an adana kebab and a lahmacun. After a few minutes we had both the kebab and the wrap. We took a seat and kept our eye out for our lahmacun. We first ate the falafel. It was great. The falafel was nicely seasoned and was dressed with lettuce, tomato and a yoghurt and mint tzatziki-like sauce (that was somehow bright green). The flatbread was good and had a nice texture.

We ordered a falafel wrap, an adana kebab and a lahmacun. After a few minutes we had both the kebab and the wrap. We took a seat and kept our eye out for our lahmacun. We first ate the falafel. It was great. The falafel was nicely seasoned and was dressed with lettuce, tomato and a yoghurt and mint tzatziki-like sauce (that was somehow bright green). The flatbread was good and had a nice texture. If this was where we stopped, I would be writing a rave review, but, sadly, we continued to eat.
The adana kebab was presented the same way as the falafel, but was not well spiced. It was heavy with chili powder and little else. It wasn't spicy, but it tasted of nothing much else.
The lahmacun was not good at all. The base was a frozen pizza base and the topping was the same mince as the adana. If it was served in Asia Minor, there would be a riot.
So really it was a meal of two halves. The first third was great (really great), the second was OK and the last was bad. I would eat the falafel again, but that is all.
