To celebrate the occasion, I stopped by Mevlana for dinner and was served a very tasty meal with friendly, attentive service. The dishes were neither over-seasoned nor enhanced with artificial flavors, and were served with fresh salads and were visually appealing. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant with down-to-earth cuisine that doesn't aspire to Michelin-star status, but rather aims to provide its guests with a pleasant, enjoyable evening.
