I love hype. It's like caffeine. It tells your body to get excited, for no good reason. Here, the slogans and decals promise the 2 great influences to hit berlin post wall fallin...English language and Turkish food, blended together like a Justin Beiber/Atta Turk slurpee. There are plenty of good signs. What better enticement than big, spinning hot meat to get things moving? The menu tries as hard as your fave high school teacher. The service is friendly, bilingual and dressed so now. The food looks as good as the delish iced tea. But that's where the "viel spass" ends. Beneath the Jackson Pollock sauces, lays a handful of cubes of Turkish bread, dotting around not very much chook...which itself suffers from a lack of..well...form. It's the pulled pork of chicken, and as it hasn't the fat of the piggy, it suffers dryness as distinctive as a fish in the desert. Its not bad, but it ain't great. The salad is even less persuasive, and the onions may have saved the day if they brought the entire onion with them.
There's nothing wrong, and the product is okay. But this is the town where Turkish food can soar. Here it walks leisurely.
