🙂 4/5 - I usually save ordering in for the weekend so I don't bust

I usually save ordering in for the weekend so I don't bust my waistline or my wallet. But this Saturday, I was really struggling to decide what to eat for dinner. Burritos? Bibimbap? Plant-based burger? As I was perusing the various restaurants on Uber Eats, I finally saw something that called to me: Turkish food.I ordered a few items via Uber Eats and waited for my food to arrive. Keep in mind I have not eaten a lot of Turkish food, but I have eaten plenty of the dishes commonly available at "Mediterranean" places. Three of the four items I ordered were brand new to me, so I was excited to dig in.My order:LahmacunMantiBeytiMediterranean PlatterFrom photos online, the lahmacun looked like a small pizza or flatbread with a thin layer of red sauce. I did a search online to see if I could learn more about it, and I stumbled across a YouTube video titled "How to Eat Lahmacun." I had assumed you just cut it into slices and eat it like pizza ... WRONG! More on this later ...The lahmacun, which is indeed a thin bread with a topping of minced beef, spices, and sauce, comes with a wedge of lime and a variety of cut up veggies like raw onions, lettuce, and tomato. So when my order arrived, I wanted to try out what I had seen in the video: I squeezed the lime over the whole thing and scattered some of the veggies in a line down the middle. Then I rolled it like a taquito and ate it. Delicious! The bread was crisp but pliable enough to roll. The meat topping was seasoned and savory, and the citrus and veggies really brought it all together. You can, of course, eat lahmacun however you like, but I highly recommend trying it this way. The manti -- little Turkish ravioli with meat filling under a blanket of warm, creamy, tangy yogurt sauce -- was surprisingly comforting; like eating a Mediterranean version of mac and cheese but with yogurt instead of cheese. I couldn't stop eating it. The beyti was next. Based on the Yelp photos and reviews, this was a popular dish. The beyti is beautifully plated in most of the photos taken at the restaurant. But, as you can imagine, it's hard to plate it this way for takeout/delivery (that rice pyramid is not going to survive as a pyramid after the trip), so mine came in a rectangular foil tray with rice on one side and the lamb on the other side. Still, it was sooooo good. The flavorful lamb and the rich tomato and yogurt sauce hit all the right notes for me. I can't wait to order this in person at the restaurant. Note: The lamb flavor is pretty intense, so if you're not into that, I think you can ask for a different meat.Finally, the Mediterranean platter, which consisted of all the usual suspects: hummus, babaganoush, tabouleh, falafel, dolma. These were all fine (I find that most of these taste very similar no matter the restaurant).But the real revelation was the other three dishes, which I'm definitely looking forward to ordering again.
