Turkish cuisine is world-renowned — from kebabs to mezes to baklava.
In this lesson, you will learn essential vocabulary for ordering food and drinks at a Turkish restaurant.
You will also learn polite phrases to interact with waitstaff and ask for the check.
A Turkish meal often starts with a soup (çorba) or cold appetizers (meze). Tea (çay) is served after every meal — not during. Tipping around 10% is customary in restaurants.
