Restaurants in Konya offer excellent opportunities to practise your language skills. The city receives a large number of tourists and pilgrims, but most of them, I presume, do not speak English guessing from the fact that hotels and restaurant staff haven’t picked it up. This is a nice restaurant on the corner of the busy Mevlana street and market street serving local specialties. Nobody spoke English which made our experience even more fun. We ordered chicken shish kebap, Tirit(local specialty), a side of salad and this odd thing called Shalgam which is turnip juice. Lets just say that the drink grows on you over time… Food was freshly prepared, tasty and cheap. Finished off with some dessert(choose from the display near the cashier).
