Olly's Turkish Pop-Up - Sydenham
Description
Its a full family affair! - Come down and enjoy a 3 course Turkish meal in Food Revolution MarketPlace every Thursday starting from the 16th July.
This dinner is inspired by my roots in Kastamonu, Turkey; and the cuisine of the Black Sea Region - Simple yet tasty dishes.
We'll welcome you with classic Turkish hospitality and exploring our culture and food. Where each and every dish originates from. It'll feel like you're coming over for a family meal!
We have a great enthusiasm for the Turkish cuisine; our focus is to introduce the variety of traditional Turkish dishes to the community that goes far beyond the well-known greasy kebab.
The pop-up will be held at The Shop Revolution MarketPlace - It is a cafe, curated indoor market and events space. The space is the brain-child of Louise Brooks, responsible for the SEE3 Portas Pilot pop-up shop project in Sydenham & Forest Hill in SE London. Guests will be seated on cosy communal tables and have the chance to meet new people.
MENU
STARTER: Lahana Dolmasi (Stuffed Cabbage Dolma/Rolls) - served with a garlic/paprika based yogurt. This is a traditional Turkish dish, mainly popular in the Blacksea region of Turkey.
