FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Newswire.net—May 9, 2013) Tampa, FL—There are certain places to eat that are just the cuisine and nothing else whereas some ethnic restaurants, like Gengiz Khan of Tampa, Florida, embody the entire country when entered. When a culture is so deep with ancient centuries of the past, it is difficult to pass up the opportunity to showcase the artifacts and photos of Turkey that many define as the “beginning of civilization” where Mesopotamia was.
The other interesting observation at Gengiz Khan is the high number of military personnel that patronize this establishment. Initially, the known fact that Gengiz Khan is located on South MacDill near the MacDill Airforce base, one might surmise that it is just a close restaurant for the local clientele, however as one analyzes the situation deeper, most of the military staff has spent extensive time in the Middle East where U.S. troops have occupied their foreign tours of duty over the past decade plus.
Whether it is Afghanistan or Iraq, both countries are rich in their history and share similar culinary food and also differ in their unique ways. With military personnel, one of the few enjoyments that are a common trait shared by all is the local cuisine of places that they have served. The other fact is that they always seek out the most authentic and best locations that remind themselves of places that they have served duty. Gengiz Khan seems to be just that as fifty percent of the customers come dressed in their military fatigues. A respect for this culture and an affinity for the atmosphere and its authentic dishes brings them back over and over again.
The food is eclectic and clean as one can see the fresh ingredients and preparations that go into every dish. Salads with lentils or Mediterranean olives and cheese are common while a variety of meats is always available. Lamb is a favorite amongst the Turkish but beef, chicken, and fish are also abundantly served. Desserts are especially special as this region of the world is known for its filo dough and honey nut mixtures that flake off their crust to the touch.
One can only describe this experience by coming to Gengiz Khan at (813) 805-6400 www.turlkishfoodtampa.com 6102 S. MacDill Ave. Tampa, FL
