After Syria’s Civil War, Syrian Refugees Rethink Istanbul Restaurants | Eater
"A go-to Fatih grocer for Syrian staples that doubles as a community lifeline: the proprietor serves items like spicy shanklish (aged Levantine cheese) and bottles of tamarind and apricot juice while helping customers feel connected to home. The market plays an emotional and practical role for refugees—supplying nostalgic ingredients, supporting families weighing return trips to Syria, and anchoring daily life amid political uncertainty." - J.
