TURKISH FOOD TOUR in DALYAN TURKEY - Delicious Turkish Breakfast, Seafood, Kebabs and Leg of Lamb

So one of our favorite things about our time in Turkey has definitely been the Turkish food. We wanted to take you on a little tour of some of our favorite spots for Turkish food here in Dalyan. So we'll start with breakfast because Turkish breakfast is the best breakfast of all the breakfasts. We're at this amazing place called Sakli Batce. Let's go have a bite. The best thing about Turkish breakfast is that you literally get a little bit of everything you could want to have for breakfast. So right now we've got french fries, yogurt with peppers, we've got these special Turkish pancakes called gozleme, we've got these deep fried bread rolls, olives, different kinds of cheeses, pancakes, eggs, vegetables, different kinds of spreads and then Jeff's favorite it's called bal and kaymak and it's just honey with this delicious clotted cream that comes from the local water buffalos. So delicious. So this is bal and kaymak. This is the greatest thing you will ever eat in your life. You have to come to Turkey just for this. This is the buffalo's milk clotted cream and honey that Angela had mentioned earlier. It's my favorite thing in the world. Turkey is absolutely amazing. Best breakfast ever. It's almost impossible to imagine a more picturesque place to enjoy your breakfast. We have the beautiful Dalyan river running right next to us. The stunningly amazing Kaunos tombs right there in the background. There are families here feeding this giant sea turtle that's in the water and probably the most delicious food you can imagine. All right that's going to do it here for Sakli Batce. It's starting to rain and we have nothing to protect the camera gear so we have to get out of here and run back to our Airbnb as quickly as possible. We are walking right now through the cute little streets of Dalyan and we are on our way to a place that we saw had really great reviews. They had this particular dish on Instagram. It was called beyti kebab and it looks delicious so we decided to go over and check it out. It's called sosyet I believe. I'm probably mispronouncing that so we'll ask them when we get there. I'm here with Firat from Sosyeti restaurant. Firat do you want to tell us a little bit about the restaurant and about the dishes that we ordered? Yes sure. The restaurant we have been started since last year so that's our second year of this restaurant. The name is Sosyeti which is called Sosyeti. So the food you have been ordered which is like our favorite beyti kebab and also alinazi kebab. I explain about like beyti kebab first which we do like from the lamb and beef meat with the tail part. We do all by the knife and we do it on the skewer like Adana and then we cook it on the grill so we wrap it in the naan bread and we cook it in we put it in the oven so we cook it in the oven and then we cut it slicely so we also put the we cut the slicing we're making like the special tomato sauce for that and also a lovely butter. Sounds great. Yeah and with the alinazi kebab we're doing with the aubergine so we mash the aubergine in the oven and then so we're doing also from the Adana kebab which I said like the ulfa like the ulfa meat and Adana. Adana is a bit spicy so we do it on mashed aubergine with some garlic yogurt mixed and then we put our like Adana kebab on that our meat and with like a butter so it is a very nice food you have been chosen. Great sounds sounds really good we're looking forward to trying it. Thank you very much. This is the beyti kebab it's what we came here for. It's got hand minced meat inside of a wrapped flatbread with some cheese tomato sauce on top and then they pour all the butter on top. First off you can't go wrong with any food that's been drenched in butter but the cheese the meat the flatbread all those flavors mixed together absolutely delicious. It's absolutely delicious you taste the freshness of the eggplant that's in it the kebab is slightly spicy out they do consider it spicy it's not all that spicy if you like heat but there you can definitely feel a little bit of heat to it it's absolutely delicious. We thought we'd ordered too much food again this time that was not the case. We have just finished up here and I have to say that quite honestly we've been in Turkey for almost three months now this is just went right into the top three of the best meals I've eaten in all of Turkey. We want to thank Farhad and his staff for all of their help today his staff is amazing the food's phenomenal. Right now we are heading to one of our favorite places here in Dalyan it's called Natural Paradise Restaurant.
