"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 beguilingly 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 manti dumplings, stuffed with local Sharondale mushrooms." - Stephanie Ganz, Tim Ebner
