You often have to wait a little while for your food to be made at The Kitchen of Anatolia, but the wait is always worth it.
You're not hanging around for 10 minutes or so because the staff dawdle.
No, it's because absolutely everything at the food van on the corner of Castle Street and Tower Hill, near to Castle Park, is made completely fresh to order in front of your eyes.
This is one of the reasons the van, which serves authentic Middle Eastern food, has developed such a solid reputation with a growing number of customers from nearby offices who return on a regular basis.
It was a finalist for Best Street Food at the inaugural Bristol Loves awards but lost out to Eat a Pitta - and there's certainly no shame in being pipped to the post by them.
Affable owner Bayram Demiroglu, who is always up for a chat, tells me on this particular visit the most popular items are the falafel wrap (£4.70) and the chargrilled chicken wrap (£4.80) as I peruse the menu, which is scribbled onto a chalkboard in front of the van.
I opt for the latter (I had previously been faithful to the falafel) and realise I made the right decision after just one mouthful, questioning why I had ordered falafel exclusively on my prior visits.
The chicken is succulent and bursting with flavour, marinated in a blend of spices mixed by Bayram, the salad is fresh and the halloumi (for an added £1) is salty and rubbery as it should be without being overbearing.
It's jam-packed with goodness and given its weight could double up as a dumbbell - each bite offering a new and exciting flavour.
It would be fair to say there's no chance of getting hungry again for a good few hours after finishing it.
"I've been running the business for four years," Bayram says as I take another comically large bite, spilling various items down my (previously) white shirt. "I used to work in kitchens in both Turkey and England and I wanted to bring the flavours I know and love to the streets of Bristol.
"Bristol is a very multicultural city so I thought this kind of food would go down well and thankfully that has proved to be the case.
"We use only fresh ingredients here and make everything daily.
"I believe I'm the only person selling Middle Eastern food from a van like this in the city and being shortlisted for Bristol Loves was a really nice feeling."
The Kitchen of Anatolia also has a van just off Redcliff Street, although it is not currently open, and Bayram has applied to open in other locations across Bristol, including Temple Back.
We'll be keeping our fingers firmly crossed that we see more openings, as it serves some of the tastiest street food money can buy, at very reasonable prices.
