$$$$Price: Moderate • Turkish • Midtown West
I think this is an excellent Turkish restaurant. I look for restaurants that offer more than just Kebabs, they offer actual what in Türkiye are referred to as "kitchen food". In other words, actual dishes, like stuffed cabbage, my person favorite.
When I look for an ethnic restaurant, I look in the reviews for people from that ethnicity, for their review. Because being a tourist in İstanbul doesn't make you an expert. I grew up eating Turkish food and age 61 I think I'm a decent judge. This restaurant is very good, the soup was very good, had the aci ezme, very good, the sigara börek, excellent. I recommend this restaurant as authentic with a broader offering then just kebabs.
