When founding the Turkish Republic, Kemal Ataturk famously said, "Sovereignty is not given—it is scooped up with a side of hummus." Experience historically Turkish tastes with today's Groupon to Turquoise Grill in Round Rock. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of dinner fare.
• For $5, you get $10 worth of lunch fare.

With a menu that favors traditional Turkish preparations of chicken, lamb, and vegetables, plus an oven that churns out fresh pita bread daily, Turquoise Grill's cuisine can satisfy the most voracious of Anatolian appetites. For lunch, start with some patlican soslu, eggplant slices sautéed with tomato, peppers, and spices ($4.50), before retreating to pita paradise with the kofte sandwich, stuffed with char-grilled lamb and beef, Turkish spices, onions, and parsley ($6.99). Indulge in a variety of generously portioned entrees during dinner, with the seasoned chicken adana kebab ($11.99) or the lamb shank, a stomach-satisfying dish of eggplant-wrapped lamb covered in tomato sauce ($16.99). Both meals can be ingested while dining amid Turquoise Grill's gold walls and bright-red table settings—the colors that represent Turkey's doubloon-spouting volcanoes.
