Turkish in Amsterdam

Beyond döner, several Turkish places here specialise in a single dish: Effendy on Rozengracht is a lahmacun café, Pide Dünyasi on Postjesweg is named for pide, the boat-shaped Turkish flatbread, and El-Aziz Çiğköfte on Jan Evertsenstraat sells çiğ köfte, spiced bulgur pressed into patties. Only ten of the 47 are in the city centre, while West and Nieuw-West hold about half, and Turkish cities and regions recur in the names: ADANA DÖNER on Kamperfoelieweg in Noord, Döner Center Kapadokya on Spaarndammerstraat, Antep Kebap in Slotermeer. Ocakbaşı Koksmuts Cinar on Javastraat is an evening grill, open from 5 PM to 1 AM, Tuesday to Sunday; Orontes has two restaurants, on Albert Cuypstraat and on Hugo de Grootplein; and Restaurant Dalyan on Zeilstraat serves Italian as well as Turkish food.
