"Chef Tarik Sengul draws on his Turkish heritage and his impressive fine dining chops at this Aegean restaurant in the heart of the city. Watch chefs prepare well-seasoned skewers of lamb, beef, and chicken from the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant, and don’t dare make a visit without trying Smyrna’s signature button-sized manti dumplings, stuffed with local Sharondale mushrooms." - Stephanie Ganz
