Picks:
Very nice home cooked warm bread and sun dried tomato dip.

Pilita San Carlos Doner Gyro wrap

Doner (Gyro) Wrap ($8.95) Thin slices of slowly cooked beef & lamb with tomatoes, onions, lettuce & a yogurt garlic sauce was huge and excellent, with nice meat flavors and a subdued yogurt sauce.

Pilita San Carlos Kuzu Kebab leg of Lamb

Kuzu Kebab ($14.95) Leg of lamb grilled on a skewer & served with rice & steamed vegetables had tender lamb cooked to a medium rare. The lamb wasn’t gamey but could have used more flavors. Rice had some garbanzo beans.

Pilita San Carlos Tavuk Guvec chicken cubes

Tavuk Guvec ($12.95) Chicken cubes with eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onions & parsley; baked in a casserole served with rice was a rich braised dish that needs to be eaten with rice. Strong sauce flavors overwhelm the chicken itself.
