New restaurant name - help wanted!
« on: February 02, 2011, 01:34:36 PM »
A couple of turkish friends of mine are opening a new restaurant in April and are looking for suggestions for a name.  It will serve traditional turkish food with live music most (if not every) night.  They want a turkish name/word but something that sounds appealing and memorable for english folks - especially those that may not understand the meaning of the turkish word!

Does anybody have any suggestions - I could see if I could persuade them to give a free bottle/drink to the person who comes up with the best name for them!!  ;)

Thanks!  :)

I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified

Another (my favourite) is "Buzbag" which I believe is a Turkish red wine?
