Hidden gem for authentic Turkish food in Plano
Hit up The Prime Restaurant in Plano the other day and honestly? One of the best Turkish meals I’ve had in the US.
Döner was solid, but the cağ kebabı was the move. It’s that horizontal-spit lamb kebab from Erzurum, cooked slow over wood fire. Juicier than regular döner and you can actually taste the smoke. You almost never find it done right over here.
Lahmacun was legit too. And the desserts… bro. Rice pudding was perfect, and the kazandibi (that Turkish burnt milk pudding where they caramelize the bottom of the pan and flip it so the burnt side ends up on top) was exactly how it should be. Chewy on top, creamy underneath.
Vibe was great too. Felt authentic without trying.
If you’re into Turkish food, just go.
