Pamukkale Restaurant

Western Road's got no shortage of decent spots, but Pamukkale stands out because they're doing Turkish food that actually tastes like someone cares. You'll walk in and immediately clock the warmth of the place—the kind where regulars know the staff by name and first-timers feel welcome anyway. The meze selection is the real draw: expect proper hummus, smoky aubergine dips, and lamb dishes that arrive still bubbling on cast iron. It's unpretentious cooking done right, the sort of neighbourhood restaurant that makes you wonder why you haven't been sooner.
