Babaji Pide Salonu, Piccadilly Circus, London

Address: 53 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 6LB

Summary: A taste travel to Turkey

Pide is a comfort dish, and to tell the truth, besides a few occasions in my life, it is not a type of dish that I would look for and eat  specifically in a restaurant when I go out in Turkey.  And the best pide I ever ate was in Karadeniz Pide Salonu, in Beyoglu, Istanbul (http://www.karadenizpide.com.tr/iletisim.php)

However, I could not stop myself trying out the Babaji Pides. The location is spot on, and from the hustle and the bustle of Piccadilly Circus, it is just a pleasant escape to hide in the comforts of chewy dough and fresh toppings.
Comes right out of the oven, and accompanied by a sour cherry soda (or tea, if that is what you prefer), it is just the perfect answer to tired feet.  Only tried the vegetarian options this time, next sill be  the classic ground beef or meat cut in small pieces. And, yes, there will be definitely a next time.
