"Head to Avesta for hearty Anatolian treats like homemade manti dumplings bathed in yogurt sauce — and sadj kavurma, sautéed meat with caramelized onions. Everything is made in-house (often in the front window), including the hand-rolled dough wrapping for the gözleme grilled sandwiches with vegetarian-friendly options. Avesta’s dinner for four, including kebabs, kofta, lahmajoun, and salad is a great way to leave the decisions to the kitchen." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
