Little Miss Mc turned 16 on Sunday and had plans taking up most of the day so I suggested we do a Dad and daughter late lunch date for yesterday instead.
We set sail around 2pm and although she has gone vegan for the past few weeks I suggested that she live on the wild side again for the day as we headed to Taco Quetzalcoatl's in Salisbury, get there and it's closed.
Plan B, well there was no Plan B, I was just happy to be driving around with my girl having a good chat and laugh, she has been working many hours lately as she prepares to go back to school today.
We drive up Main North Road looking for something open and suitable to no avail, we return down Prospect Road with our eyes peeled but still nothing, I then have a brainwave and think "Burek Lounge", we go there and they are closed too, even a Greek place in Grange that she suggested was closed.
Head to Sempahore knowing something suitable will be open, pull up out the front of a place called "Bodrum Kahve" and noticed it had a bit of everything there.
Head inside and Miss Mc is happy for me to order a lamb AB along with a large Italiano pizza, the pleasant young lad took my order and when I said I wanted BBQ sauce and Garlic sauce on the AB he smiled, gave me the thumbs up and said "respect".
He asked if we wanted them served together as the pizza would take some time, I just said "Do whatever you want mate, whatever is easiest for you"
He and another lad fossicked around to get us glasses, a water bottle and set to work to make sure we were looked after, I think it was more of making sure Miss Mc was looked after, I doubt that they'd pick her age.
Anywho, the AB came out first and was served on chips as per usual but, they had a pita bread cut into about 12 portions too which was an instant double thumbs up for me, we were both picking at that and got about half way through when the pizza was presented, and by Jesus it was cooked to perfection, a crispy crust but fluffy interior, the topping evenly placed and stayed on as you ate it, both were thoroughly enjoyable.
The service was excellent, I'd say Papa does all the front cooking, Mama or son do the pizza's, they had Turkish food, all sorts of Mediterranean dishes along with South American cuisine, they had a decent array of alcoholic beverages too.
All up, for the AB, the pizza and a 600ml Coke each, it came to $33, excellent value, we demolished the AB but only got through half of the pizza to which one of the young lads chucked in a pizza box for us to take with, it will be a compulsory stop for us now whenever we frequent Semaphore, a hidden little gem.
A solid 9/10, the tables could've been laid out better but the lack of space doesn't help and neither of us wanted to eat hot food at the table provided outside.
