Galata bakery & coffee and their Simit burger

It's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon and the press team is on the move to Galata bakery & coffee, our first restaurant/food review.
The main focus is the restaurant itself  and their Simit burger which was recommended by the Galata bakery & coffee manager.
The Turkish family business offers authentic Turkish cuisine at affordable, student-friendly prices.

Named after an ancient neighbourhood in Istanbul, the restaurant’s quirky details are a reminder of its origins.

The restaurant vibe is epic!, chilled and relaxed, it's a breath of fresh air even though you're tucked into the corner of The Grove square in Braamfontein .

The place is packed and a table for seven doesn't seem to be  visible but the manager accommodated us with an alternative plan, they set up three small tables for us and chairs .
The customer service was awesome as the waiters were attentive and helpful, but the food took forever.

Eventually the food arrived, plate by plate.The Simit burger served with a potion of chips, two beef pattys , lettuce , cheese, tomatoes and onions plus two grilled buns served with sauces- BBQ sauce , tomato sauce and mayo mayo mayo mayonnaise.

The Simit Burger is a real treat, even the price is reasonable for a students pocket ,so I highly recommend it.

Introducing the 1.0 TSI R-Line, Volkswagen South Africa brings you its Polo range with a new engine as well.

Image
The old VW Polo models are slowly fading out as Volkswagen stretches its R-Line. It comes with a new engine, a 1.0 TSI with an output of 81 kW and 200 Nm. It’s a front wheel drive via a 7-speed DSG Dual-clutch transmission. Volkswagen claims that the fuel consumption is at 4.4 L/100 km, they also included that it goes from 0/100 in 9.3 seconds to a top speed of 197 KPH. As always there are optional additional extras but the vehicle comes with electronic stability programme (ESP), dual front and side airbags, leather multi-function steering wheel, front fog lights, multi-function display, and the attractive R-Line bodykit. The R-Line package includes R-Line bumpers with a logo on the grille, sill extensions, rear diffuser with a chrome tailpipe exhaust and a rear spoiler in body colour. More than this, the Polo 1.0 TSI R-Line rides on 17-inch Serron alloy wheels. The Volkswagen Polo R-Line is priced at R290 200. The Polo R-Line comes standard with a Volkswagen

The Polo 7 GTI 2017 model is one car South Africans will not get over anytime soon. It’s basically the modern BMW 325i.s “Gusheshe” that our fathers screamed at with excitement in the 90’s.

The Polo 7 GTI is a beaut, one for the books to be exact. The paint colour, the LED lights, the rims, its whole look and feel will have its owner with a smirk, especially in traffic. With a four cylinder 1.8-Litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine it kicks out 141 kW of power at between 4 300 and 6 200 rpm from the 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed DSG transmission kicks out 5 400 to 6 200 rpm. It should be faster than its Polo 7 Rline sibling. The variations differ due to technical differences in the design of the transmissions. The same applies to the torque values: the DSG delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1 250 and 5 300 rpm whereas the manual gearbox version delivers 320 Nm between 1 450 and 4 200 rpm. Fortunately, the differences in torque have no effect on the vehicle's performance. Volkswagen claims fuel consumption to be at 5.6L/100 km with the 7-speed DSG and 6.0L/100km with the 6-speed manual. The Polo 7 GTI accelerates from 0 to 100

ADVENTURER WITH A STRONG PRESENCE.

Image
The all-new BMW X3 is a statement of unlimited opportunities and an expression of sheer presence and freedom. From the very first glance, it impresses with its athletic appearance and fascinates with an exciting driving experience. Thanks to partially autonomous driving and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive, it offers supreme ride comfort both on and off the road. It therefore redefines the benchmarks in its class and makes one thing unmistakably clear: there is a great difference in how you reach your destinations. With combined fuel efficiency of just 5.3 l/100 km, the BMW X3 sDrive18d takes you further off the beaten track or any road you choose. Not to be outdone, the BMW X3 M40d combines M Performance with diesel power – think 0 – 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and that’s just the beginning. Model:  BMW X3 xDrive30d Steptronic Price:  (from) R649 000 Engine:  3,0-litre, 6-cyl, turbodiesel Power:  195 kW @ 4 000 r/min Torque:  620 N.m
