    A fast-bite lunch and dinner place where miraculous things are done with lamb and eggplant. Try the rich ground lamb-and-mashed ali nazik or the outstanding grilled lamb meatballs Read more

    $11 small vegetable platter doesn't have braised artichokes & stuffed grape like some of the reviews state. Instead, it has 4 items: hummus, smoked eggplant salad (my fave!), piyaz, & cacik. ;9

    Excellent fast-casual Turkish lunch spot with rotating hot and cold dishes. The vegetables are the highlight of the meal.
