Local specialty

We've been passing the same interesting looking restaurant for 3 months now and we finally decided to stop in and have a taste. I should have taken a picture downstairs, but I wasn't feeling touristy enough. At this fantastic place there are two women making fresh mantı, which is a favorite here. It is most easily described as mini-ravioli. They make the dough fresh everyday, put a bit of minced meat inside and then boil it (I assume). Top it with super garlic-y yogurt and hot spices and yum! Rick also tried a chicken dish that tasted much like fajita meat. Anyway, we loved the decor with huge wooden pitch forks and other miscellaneous farm equipment. If you ever come to visit, this place will be on our list to visit...unless of course we find some place cooler.
