"A family-run Turkish spot led by an Izmir native and her husband, known for generous, well-seasoned plates and strong, savory flavors. Meals commonly begin with a cooling yogurt-and-cucumber dip served with grilled pita. Spicy kofta arrives as char-grilled ground-beef patties folded with onion, garlic, red pepper paste and spices alongside buttery rice pilaf and crispy fries; milder and mozzarella-stuffed versions are also offered. Shish skewers alternate tender filet mignon with pockets of Turkish lamb fat for added richness, and Friday specials have included fried anchovies and chopped lamb-intestine sandwiches." - Eater
