Been a bit distracted with other things, but we do have some additional photos from our Current review of Ayse's Cafe. Head on over to ecurrent.com to see the article (and vote for us if you feel like it), and then check out the photos below. Or do it in the opposite order; we don't mind.
(As always, click on the photos for larger versions. We really recommend it on this one.)
Some mezzes. Rear: lentil balls (cold); Front: grilled peppers; olive, walnut, and pomegranate salad.
The photo used in the Current article. They bring a mezze tray like this around at weekend dinner. Clockwise from left: lentil balls, grape leaves, spinach pie, grilled peppers, olive-walnut-pomegranate salad, beet salad. Center: Potatoes and carrots.
Spinach stew (eggplant salad in rear).
Lima bean salad. Really, really good...
Lamb with Apricot and Almond. Not mentioned in the review, but really good.
Lamb kofte with eggplant. Mentioned in the review. Excellent.
The dessert tray. Clockwise from far left: yogurt cake, chocolate pudding, carrot halwa, Noah's pudding (throw in two of everything?), Alice's pudding, kadayif, sour cherries in rosewater. Center: Hasan's chocolate brownie.
Squash with walnuts in simple syrup.
It all looks and sounds so good that i would be hard pressed to choose - i'll just have to make several trips to taste them all....Hope I can!

Those pictures are amazing! The olive-walnut-pomegranate looks especially intriguing....

We ate dinner there about 10 days ago, after I saw your review. The lamb with apricot was fabulous!
Then after I got home, I was looking in my Middle Eastern cookbook for something else, and came across the Noah's Pudding recipe. And yes, it's related to Noah of Ark fame! Mount Ararat is in Turkey after all.

You can't go wrong ordering whatever her lamb entree of the day is!

One of my favorite places to eat in Ann Arbor. I try to take all out of town guests to Ayse's in addition to my local friends who have never been there! The food is beautiful, delicious, and healthy. Life is good!
