We were visiting Kara Lounge & Grill the second time, with our friends from France. The food was superb, we ordered kix of starters like cacik/sucuk(spicy Turkish sausage absolutely fantastic)and for the main we had House special mix platter for 4-5 people. Honestly we were stuffed with all the starters that we could not handle the main dish. So had to pack up. Everything was very fresh good quality food. Also had some mock-tails, decent size glasses. We will be coming back again and again as its one to go place in town.
