Turkish cuisine like Iranian food is best if the simplest. meat, rice, good brot and finally good company. olives and figs near the old spitalfields market offers all this and with its covered vibe in the form of its bring your own alcohol, they can enjoy a cheap fun evening. as a large group the people chose separate what they wanted, so there was no mix and adjustment.
