Ocakbasi Altstadt - Menu

"Part 2 of our birthday trip should actually go to the newly opened Greeks in our home town Pulsnitz. But the evil coronavirus put an end to the short term and sent the gastro team to the 14-day quarantine only a few days after the opening. However, since our friends liked to eat in the south, and we were disappointed at our last visit to the Greeks in Kamenz, we entrust ourselves to the Ocakbasi in Dresden. This is available twice in the city, once in the old town and once near the pub mile in the Dresdner Neustadt. We chose the place in the old town, near the town hall. The online reservation worked in advance without problems, and so we could take our place after an eternal search for parking. To our astonishment, despite half-empty locals, everyone was sent away who had not reserved in advance. This is probably for contact detection, you have so name and address, because they were not asked again. We sat at an angle to the open kitchen and were able to watch the kitchen staff at their work. The chairs and benches are with soft leather, which was provided with a large logo. It was cozy, as we were sitting near the door, sometimes and the ladies were happy. We were served by a young lady, the rich menus brought her right away. As drinks were quite fast: a 0,5ér Dresdner Feldschlösschen beer for 3,80 €, 2 Schoppen Pinot Grigio for 5,70 € each, three 0.4ér Cola for 3,90 € each, a cyclist and a Spezie for 3,90 € each, and an Aperol Orange for 6,50 €. 20 minutes after our first beverage order, they were already at the table. The foam on the beer already collapsed, my wife's wine was forgotten and delivered only with twice demand. Well, that's okay. But now we could at least order our dishes. We had enough time to think. As appetizers it should be 2x “Kelle Paca Corbasi” – a lamb soup at 7.00 € each and 1x the “Mercimek Corbasi” a lentil soup at 7.00 €. In addition, a “Muska Böregi” dough pockets filled with parsley and cheese were also desired for € 8.50. Pide meat with egg, onions, peppers, parsley and salad for 11,50 € 1x Mixed pork with lamb and minced meat, tomatoes, paprika, parsley, onions and gouda cheese for 12,00 € 1x Pide minced meat with tomatoes, paprika, parsley The "Kelle Paca Corbasi" was a well-filled terrine with a hot, spicy and strong garlic-loaded broth and plenty of small pieces of lamb. A fresh bread. The soup looked comfortable, but was unlikely delicious. “Kelle Paca Corbasi” – a lamb soup The “Mercimek Corbasi” lens soup was fine. Pleasantly mild and slightly pale with many herbs and spices. “Mercimek Corbasi” a lentil soup The “Muska Böregi” were fried dough bags on a leaf salad and filled with parsley and cheese. They were delicious, the cheese inside creamy and spicy, only the outer shell through the fried again greasy. “Muska Böregi” dough pockets filled with parsley and cheese With a greeting from the kitchen, an inflated Turkish bread with a dip from Sourcream and spicy tomato relish, the waiting time should be shortened to the main course. Greeting from the kitchen There were also small bowls with fresh salad for the corresponding main courses. Salad plate The time passed, our glasses were long empty on the table, empty glasses.... in the kitchen was washed, then cooked again. Our food was waiting. In the meantime, the toilets were not necessarily clean this evening. Bathroom sink The glasses remained empty. Only after another operation came by, we were covered with drinks. Unbelievable 1.5 hours after our order, in the kitchen we already looked at our immity, grill with a view to the kitchen finally came the main dishes. The service seemed real to sleep here. half empty guest room For this the main dishes were really delicious. The “Sebzeli Kuzu Güvec” of the lamb meat skating was a large bowl filled with roasted, pleasantly large pieces of lamb and Mediterranean vegetables baked in a spicy, still piece tomato sauce with lots of cheese. There was a ball of basmati rice on an extra plate. Sebzeli Kuzu Güvec – a lamb run with roasted lamb and Mediterranean vegetables in tomato sauce with cheese baked basmatiries The “Ocakbasi Grillplatte” I shared with our friend. This was well covered with two small, tasty marinated lamb chops, an already deducted calf skewer and chicken skewer (each 3 bucks per person), with a lamb chopper and two frikadellen. The lamb on the skewer as well as the velvet were well seasoned, butter soft and pleasantly mild in taste. The chicken spear was also delicate, the meat was slightly spiced. The lamb chopper was penetrated with chopped peperoni pieces and was therefore slightly fiery. The frikadelle, in contrast, almost a little fad. There were basmatiries, well seasoned bulgur, fresh onion, grilled peperoni and fresh tomato. Instead of the yogurt, I would rather have liked Tzatziki. The record was enough for both of us. Ocakbasi Barbecue Plate for two with marinated lamb chops, calf skewers, chicken skewers, lamb skewers and frikadellen The “Beyti in rolled dough” was the same seasoned lamb skewer as on the Ocakbasi plate. This was rolled into homemade thin bread and garnished with a light tomato yogurt sauce and some crushed butter. There was a big stick Tzatziki and a small bullet yogurt. Again tomato and salad as a greenware supplement and a grilled peperoni. Beyti in rolled dough – spiced lamb chopped skewer in homemade thin bread, with tomato yogurt sauce and crushed butter All three pies were made of a thin, crunchy dough, with plentiful lining on top. By fritting or frying in the oil, they were of course also quite greasy again, but there were also refreshments at the table to clean the hands. Pide lamb meat with egg, onions, peppers, parsley and salad Pide minced meat with tomatoes, peppers, parsley, onions and salad Our conclusion: we left €200.20 in Ocakbasi. The dishes are delicious and an alternative to the Greeks. Only the staff has not yet come out of the Corona sleep, and we clearly took too long to relocate drinks or even the food. In contrast to 5 years ago, the place was only half occupied. There is a considerable need for improvement. Maybe then someone has time to look at the toilet on the right. what sweet to farewell"
