• Fancy some exotic food in Paraty?

If the answer is yes, then you should definitely check out this cosy little joint. It´s right by the bus terminal & I have to disagree with other reviewers pointing out it was hard to find - it´s not. The owner is from Istanbul & speaks English (as the rest of the staff does). He´s friendly & helpful. First time I visited I had a plate with Middle Eastern usual suspects falafel, hummus, baba ganoosh, salad, pita bread. I myself was running an Oriental restaurant last year & I could tell that they had to assimilate with which comestibles / utensils are locally available. Tasted yummy nevertheless! Serving was a tad bit too big. The mango juice I had could do with more fruit & less ice. Second time I had a shitake wrap with perfect seasoning. I had to order one more! Istanbul is perfect if you arrived in Paraty after a long bus trip, starving. Or the other way around: if you want to take out some wrap for your bus ride ahead of you.
