Ambrosia Cafe Singapore

We bought the cash voucher on Groupon and celebrated one of the friends birthday there. The environment at level 2 is fine but the food is not really nice. It is specializes in Turkish cuisine. The only thing I felt good is the hummus with the pita bread.  Kebab tasted average.The rest of the cuisines I was quite disappointed with it. It tasted no special where I am not too sure but most of the dishes have similar tomato base taste which is very western. I had my worst brownie here, all my friends have the same feedback as mine.

The service need to be improved as we are sat at level 2 and it is hard when we need order. You need to either go to level 1 or shout at level 2 to get their attention. They should put some bells some where to help the customer.

Divine Pollo Marrakesh($29.80++) - Grilled spring chicken with Saffron Rice(You can choose couscous). One of my friend complained that there is a weird taste on the chicken while others feel that the marinated is done quite badly as we only taste the skin good, the meat has no taste by itself.

Royal Ambrosian Kebab Platter($29.90++) - you will get 5 mixed skewers which included beef, lamb and chicken. When it is served, you cannot differentiate them, even we asked the staff, they cannot tell us too. You cannot choose what skewers you want, it is based on the preference of the chef. So if you have companion who do not take beef or lamb or chicken, you better ordered individually

Leban Orange, Leban Lime, Leban Mango($6++) - Turkish yogurt drink. I tasted all and found, you should just go with Mango. It won't go wrong. The orange one doesn't taste any orange flavour and the lime tasted medicine.

Hummus ($7.90++) - This probably the best out of all the dishes I tried in this restaurant. Thumb up for the pita bread, soft and yummy.

**Sorry for the quality of the picture. This is the best I could have.

Sofra Turkish Restaurant

I had a treat here with a couple of colleagues.  We were looking for halal place and one of the colleague recommended this restaurant and she think it is good. I passed by and do hear the good comments previously, so glad to have chance to try out.

The dishes on menu all looks quite interesting. We ordered a few portion for sharing.

Grape Leave Roll($5.90++), Roasted Eggplant($5.20) - these 2 dishes served cold. The leave roll tasted good but not sure what I was eating, the only thing I confirmed is rice wrapped with grape leave, of course there are some other herbs. Roasted eggplant taste average but good to go with bread although it is cold.

Sour Cherry Juice($3.90++), Ayran($3.90++) - sour cherry juice highly recommended by one of my colleague, taste great from the feedback of my colleagues who had them. I got Ayran, a yogurt drink, it tasted a bit salty not the usual one we taste sweet or sour.

Hummus($5.30++), Turkish Bread($2.90++), Seasame Bread($3.80++) - The Turkish bread and sesame bread smells good but texture different, both also good to go with hummus

Sofra Spaghetti Aglio($11.90++) - Din get to taste this but my colleague said it is nice.

Doner Kebab Rice($10.80++) - Doner kebap served with Turkish fragrant rice.

Chef Plate($21.90++) - A combination plate consists of Doner kebap, Izgara Kofte & a skewer of Shish kebap. All tasted quite unique, especially chef plate you can get the combination of the kebab, just it is a bit too dry for me. I quite like the minced meat patty.

 Shish Kebab($17.50++) - Grilled cubed meat served with Turkish cracked wheat 

Sofra Kebap Veggie($15.50++) - Freshly baked bread filled with walnut, eggplant, tomato & cheese. This is delicious, I like it very much.

Sultan Kebap($15.90++) - Mildly spiced lamb served with baked cheese & mashed potatoes. Tasted quite good and less lamb smell.

Pide($13.50++) - Turkish pizza  You can choose one of this==>(*beef *lamb *chicken *cheese & tomatoes *zuchinni). We took the cheese and tomatoes, tasted great!

Desserts we had below 4 items, I personally like the main course more than the desserts.

1.Baklava($5.90++) 2pcs - Homemade Turkish fitto pastry with pistachios, pastry is cripsy but too sweet

2. Kenefe($7.50++) - 2nd picture, chef's recommendation, Baked Kadaiff with cheese, nice but too sweet

3. Turkish Chocolate Pudding w/marshmallow($5.40++) - pudding tasted average

4. Stuffed Fig($5.40++)2pcs - 1st picture bottom item, I cannot appreciate it, it is a fruit type dessert
