Lale Mediterranean Cuisine

The Write-Up

The full story

Lale Mediterranean Cuisine is a cozy, family-run Turkish room on Park Avenue in Winter Park, warm and intimate in a way guests call a hidden gem. The kebabs lead the menu, lamb shish and chicken sis off the grill, with pillowy lavash, haydari, lahmacun and pides from the oven. Save room for kunefe, warm with syrup and pistachio, and finish with a Turkish coffee.
