Fourth Turkish Food Festival coming to MoN

Middle-Eastern delights such as Adana Kebabs, Doner Rolling Shwarmas, Kumpir Baked Potatoes, Baklava and Turkish Delight will be on the menu of the fourth annual Turkish Food Festival that is scheduled for 27 to 29 March at the overflow parking area of Mall of the North.
Food connoisseurs of the city will be able to explore the tastes of Istanbul that will be presented amidst an ambiance of Turkish culture and decor, while traditional Turkish tea and coffee will be a perfect round-off for an interesting tour of the stalls with Turkish market products.
On 27 March the festival will be open from 15:00 until 22:00, on 28 March from 10:00 until 22:00 and on 29 March from 11:00 until 20:00, providing time for residents to visit this culinary extravaganza even after working hours.
The event is hosted by Enderun College, an education programme of the Universal Islamic Cultural Trust (UICT) with a branch in Polokwane and more than ten similar events were hosted in others main centres in South Africa which included Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town, says Fatih Dursun, Limpopo Director of UICT. “The venue is much bigger this year and judging from last years’ experience, a good turn out is expected,” Dursun said.
The food and drinks will be served under tents to create a festive atmosphere and there will also be a kiddies zone to ensure a family friendly outing with much to learn about the Turkish culture.
Entrance is free and ample safe parking will be available.
