I think there used to be a kebab place in Glasgow called bifteki.

It generally signalled the end of a night when you headed there.

English beefsteak -> French bifte(c)k -> Turkish biftek -> Greek bifteki

Thanks, that makes a good deal of sense.

I guess there’s probably been a few places called bifteki around the uk and other countries then.
