Most lunch specials in Orange County are AYCE flophouses that make up for the not-that-cheap price with unlimited visits to the buffet line. More restaurants should take the hint of Istanbul Grill in Fountain Valley and serve, you know, a lunch special. A special lunch, if you will.
The Turkish eatery accomplishes this with an honest-to-goodness three-course meal. You get to mix-and-match starters and entrees: labne with adana kabob, salad with chicken kabob, some awesome walnut paste combined with a luscious lamb stew. The great thing about the first two courses is that each are not just filling, but delicious—some of the best Turkish food in an area that's starting to see an increase in the tradition. Dessert's usually pudding, but changes daily: chocolate, almond, some rosewater thingy that's better than life itself. Whatever you choose, it'll only cost you a bit more than $11, have you stuffed, and wishing business brought you to Fountain Valley more often.
