Galentine's Dinner at Istanbul Hawaii

Mosaic of Meze Platter

My girlfriends and I celebrated Galentine's at Istanbul Hawaii - always one of my favorites for a great meal. The modern Turkish-Anatolian cuisine featured on the menu can be overwhelming for first-timers, but our server did a great job highlighting her recommendations. 

We started with the very popular Mosaic of Meze Platter featuring hummus, muhammara, babaganoush, labneh, spinach borek, and olives served with a delicious sourdough pide. Half the group ordered the Anatolian Doner - shaved lamb and beef with brown-butter Kahuku tomato and Waianae herbs. I don't usually order lamb, but my friend assured me that it did not have a strong lamb taste. It was a good call because I really enjoyed the dish! Service was exceptional as usual and we had a great time celebrating!
