Tokyo - Roppongi: Kadan Turkish Restaurant

I've been passing by this little Restaurant/Stand on each layover. I finally decided to stop in and grab a bite.

Turn left at the top of the Roppongi hill (away from the elevated freeway and towards the McDonald's). It'll be a few hundred feet down on the left. Big red sign and rotisseries spinning. Can't miss it!

You'll be pleased with the prices and the food is very good. I had not had a beef pita sandwich in that style before - it was a unique sauce, but still it was very flavorful. The sandwich and the beer was 1000Y. It's also a great place to duck into if the Nigerians become unbearable.

The sauce was good, but if try it first to see if it suits you.

The Geronimo Shot Bar is a small little 2nd floor bar with lots of ambiance. It seems to cater to ex-pats, but it's not exclusive. When we walked in, there was just a few folks at the bar with Stone Temple Pilots blaring. Beers are 900Y (standard Roppongi price). Luck for us, there was a wealthy Russian dude, who thanks to his deep pockets, bought 2 rounds for everyone at the bar. The deal is, if you bang the drum (shown in one of the photos) you buy the bar. So, we had two shots of Stoli thanks to glasnost!

Their music selection is top notch - they probably have what you wanna listen to.

The Russkie was a little freaky, but the vodka was flowing -


Great crew, with Geronimo statue on the right


"Yup, peace bro! I'm outta!"
