Find Turkish comfort food at Mio's in St. Petersburg

• At Mio's, the staff speaks Turkish with my mother while my dad and I are gleefully oblivious.
• Mehmet, söz veriyorum çalışıyorum!!

And of course, the food is bomb. If you're vegetarian, the falafel wrap is super comforting.

• If you want a taste of a real Turkish dinner, get the Yogurt Kebap: thinly sliced beef doner cooked with a savory, buttery tomato-based sauce and topped with tangy yogurt over perfectly cooked rice.

Don't skip: The sigara boregi, fried cigar-shaped pastries filled with feta. You'll want at least two orders.

Of note: There's also a location at Clearwater's Sand Key!
