Phrygian

Whilst BBC kebab-nauts wait for the new incarnation of the original Efes on Great Titchfield Street, Efes 2, up Great Portland Street, has already been transformed - into Kibele. No longer just Turkish, but Anatolian cuisine (though apparently that still alows the inevitable moussaka and mixed grill) and attracting celebs of the calibre of Michelle Heaton and Jenni Falconer.

Kibele - or Cybele - was the Phrygian mother goddess of the BC period, and her cult spread to Athens and Rome. Phrygia's most famous King ? Midas.
