"A mall-like hub where Turkish bakery culture and ornate dining spaces shine: sesame-encrusted simits from ubiquitous bakeries offer perfect on-the-go snacks, while sit-down options like Cuisine Anatolia serve beef köfte and syrupy walnut baklava. The patisserie Kaimakk tempts with delicate confections—raspberry-rose tarts and Turkish Delight sticks—served against dramatic architecture of pillars, a travertine fountain, and mouth-blown glass that together make eating here feel distinctly local and atmospheric." - Alia Akkam
