Where to Find Terrific Turkish Food in D.C. - Eater DC

"When Hazel launched its new menu under chef Robert Curtis towards the end of 2018, the menu took a turn from its Asian inspired dishes to vegetable focused items typically found a Turkish meyhane, or neighborhood tavern. Puffy Turkish bread serves as the vehicle for the dips and spreads that are followed by more modern interpretations. Some dishes, such as the carrot haydari and muhammara dips, the mucver pancakes, and bulgur kofte are obviously Turkish. Others, such as the beef tartare that comes with a Turkish coffee vinaigrette, reflect Curtis’s inventions." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
